BANQUET WAS PLEASING.
Presbyterian Bible Class Observed An
nual Custom Last Evening.

The annual banquet OF the Presbyte'
rian Bible class was held in the vestry
OF the church last evening when some 80
members sat down TO one of the most
delicious spreads yet served. The .elass
banquet has come TO be one Of the most
enjoyable social functions of the year
and last nights affair was as successful
as in past years. The banquet was pre-
pared and served by the ladies' auxiliary
and those who partook of the tasty
dishes were loud in their praise for the
work which the ladies so well accom-
pished.
At one end Of the hall an officers table
had been assigned to tba officers Of the
class and the guests of the evening, Rev.
and Mrs. s. +. Bloomfield Of Bethany
church, Montpelier. The following was
the menu as served: Grape fruit, pickles,
olives, chicken pie, vegetable salad riced
potatoes. brown gravy hot rolls, ice
cream, assorted cake and coffee.
When the banqueting was over Miss
Ruth Milne, president of the class, re-
viewed interestingly the history OF the
class. bringing out the pleasant occasions.
She then introduced the speaker of the
evening, Rev Mr.. Blomfield. His re.
marks were very interesting and con.
tanned points well worth needing. The
speaker divided his talk into three lines
of thought. He impressed on his hearers
the need of being able to live with people
and people able to live with us, explain
ing how disagree bleness ofteptines sep
arated a man from civilization Then he
advised young people tostave the quality
known as sticktoitiveness, to be able to
stick to a thing until it is done and done
we'll. This he pointed out to be the rea
son for great mems success. His last
thought had to do with idealism. There
,omes time in everyone's life when he
ooks forward TO some attainment, when
le makes some resolve to be or do some
hing. 1t is at this time we see our flu
.ure and lay plans fora successful or for
useless life.
During his discourse the speaker was |
yiyen the closest of attention and the |
applause which followed the remarks |
oretold the appreciation Of the class
Rev. Mr. Grassland was called on for a /
ew remarks and social hour then fol- |
owed, this closing the evenings event.
