ed by the various societies of the city.
Intense interest was manifest and
Mrs. Anna N. Kelsey who conducted

A fine audience was present at last
nights service. There were two spec
ial features of interest; the attend
ance of the Philathea class of young
ladies', in a body and the program
presented by the Junior Chorus. Mr..
and Mrs. Carroll have been training
the children for the past two or three
weeks and have done most excellent
work. A program of choruses, duets,
solos, recitations and dialogue, was
given which showed not only careful
training but also much natural abil-
| ity on the part of the children.
The sermon was Claims of Christ
Upon Womanhood" and was a strong
appeal that women, whom Christian
Il ty has emancipated and made one of
the potent factors in moulding human
| ity, should honor their Savior by con-
secrating their lives to Him. Tonight,
will be the illustrated song service.
An attendance of $50 in wanted at the
