the Community Brotherhood last eve
mig was one of the most interesting OF
the entire year. The attendance was
not so large as some others had been

standing by the membership that there
was to be an interesting speaker. the
idea having prevailed that this would
be business meeting only. John Il.
White proved to be very entertaining
speaker and made his meaning very
plain while disclaiming any intention
Of tryin gto carry any one-any farther
along his line OF reasoning than his
own judgment would direct him.
