vice, making a strong patriotic ad-
dress. Following, the entire congrega-

The heavy clouds and threatening
storm put somewhat Of a damper at
first on some Of the tenters for fear
that their decorations would be ruined.
But the storm passed over without
any damage and the grounds still re-
tained their good appearance. Many

were used. Asbury avenue tenters did
themselves justly proud, they had ar
ranged a framework and the words

appearance. ST. Paul's avenue
