During the recital Rev. j. p. Marion
took occasion to tell of the movement
to get new organ for the church, this
movement being initiated by the ladies
of the church and the work being
carried on by them with unfiagging
zeal. While the men had aided it was
due to the women of the church that
the beautiful instrument had at length
been secured. He made a plea to his
church members for more congrega-
| tional singing in future.
The members of the church are very
proud of their new organ, especially
the ladies who have worked hard and
