well. In this church there have been
held frequent meetings during the past
year addressed by some OF the best
speakers OF the State and from other
States. These addresses have been along
the lines Of current thought and activi-
ties and have done much to stimulate
patriotism, so that the Sunday evening

most hearty patriotic response.
