Methodists and will be open of course
to all Methodists. The treasurer made
very satisfactory report. She was
instructed to send the $500 confer

up the services of the capable fourth
department Superintendent but the
Chapter was very fortunate in secur-

MILAN to take charge of that work.

the League had placed flowers in the
church when they were available and

and sufficient were adopted. The
meeting gave evidence of the worth
while-ness of the organization. One

join the League and become a regu-
lar and faithful attendant.
