On Friday night last two of the
organized classes of the Monterey
Methodist school were entertained
at the homes of their respective
teachers and royal good time
was had. The theachers were
Messrs C. W. Trimble and }. &.
Matheny, and in each case, after
the transaction of some business
and outlining committee work, an

rendered and refreshments served.

recruits" just entering upon
church work, and it is encouraging
to hear them report "the best time
of their l:v9s.".

twisted by the furious hand of the
storm king before it gets out of the
box, and by the time it comes
out in print, sounds more or less
loony and out of harmony. That
