ture selection, and Rev. D. F. Faulkner
Of the Methodist church read portions of

by Mr.. Roosevelt. A selec-

and duet by Miss Ruth Brown and Miss
Helen Barnes. The church was well
filed. The speaker of the evening was
Hon. Halbert P. Gardner of Portland.
Mr.. Gardner spoke only about half an
hour, in quiet way and without attempt
at orstorical display. Much of what be
had to say about Mr.. Roosevelt was
drawn from personal experiences with
the former president, with whom he had
been associated somewhat in political
endesvor. He paid high tribute to all
the qualities Of Roosevelt which are so
we'll known to every one, especially his
complete Americsnism, and character
lied him as the greatest American OF his
age.
