The Inauguration of the inter.class

is exciting much interest. So far the
bible class is the only one to adopt
the plan, but it is expected others
will soon do so. The captains of the
two sections Of the bible class are
Miss Margaret Schuster, and Mrs.
Arthur Mcdonald. The section colors
are white and blue, respectively. Sum
day last was the starting day, at
which time the showing was 1870 points
to 50 points; in favor of the blues.
The captains were well chosen. Both
ladies are popular and are going after
their work with vim.
Mrs. Calvin Hunt sman of near Ju-
dith Gap was in Garneill Monday,
