being 'The consecrated life" Mr..

man called of God nd his coming
here and identifying himself as the
under Shepherd of these people,
will bring forth much good.
A union welcome service was
held on Sunday evening, Rev.

Rev. Brock responded feelingly and
said that every hour since he and
his family had arrived there had
been some evidence of good will
and welcome.
On Wednesday evening an infor-
NAL reception will be held in the
Sunday school rooms of the Bap-
