DR.. by sart stirred his hearers with
an address along timely and pertinent
lines. He complimented the club upon
its accomplishment of the year, as
set forth in the annual report of the
secretary r. ]. Shanahan. He set his
audience at attention by his evident
ability to handle situation and he al
most Immediately had his listeners in
/ the best of humor by his clever play
upo nthe trend of the events of the
evening and the illusions to the infor-
nation of club affairs he had gathered
in giving ear to the proceedings in
the business session that preceded.
Coming to the body of his talk he
launched forth upon the topics of the
day uppermost in the minds of all, the
great world war and his remarks were
of the most earnest character. Ne stir
red his hearers to repeated applause
in response to sentiment to which he
gave utterance. His words bore the
stamp of a high order of patriotism.
He gave his company something new
to think about in the analysis of fact
land figure he presented. Not one who
| listened to him who was not benefited
by the talk Those who missed hearing
the address suffered a personal loss.
Invocation for the evening was ask
cd by Rev. Lewis, followed by an un.
usually excellent luncheon and then
came the business in hand.

the doings of the organization since
the date of its reorganization upon
April IL, 1917 No event of Importance
was overlooked or missed, and the ac-
complishment of the club was outlined
from week to week and month to
month. Fifty-two weekly luncheons
had been held and the board of direc-
| tors of the club had held forty-three
lrecorded meetings The report was
lengthy, requiring something over an
hour in a rapid reading but not a de-
| tail was omitted and even those who
have been the most faithful Attendants
and workers and were most CONVEX
SAINT with club business were surpris-
ed at the scope and the extent of the
clubs accomplishment and activity for
the year. Much that had received at
tention had passed from mind until
recalled from a careful reading of the
record.
