taught by the pastor. The subject
of the lesson was The end of the

the pastor in giving the explanation
of the lesson and in p~icturing to us
what the end of the age meant. The
attendance at this meeting was large.
ITO a very large audience the pas
tor preached at the morning service
and the spirit of the meeting could
be felt. There was one addition to
the church at this service. Sister
Ford the valiant Captain of the Wo-
Club made a gallant plea to her
forces at this meeting to give the
men the whipping that they deserv-
ed, as they had been very hilarious
since they won one battle. Sister
Ford is a great worker and we only
wish we had several more of her type.
