airy superintendent, Harry F. Mitten
He gave an interesting talk on "Mis-
sions", with his usual felicity OF
speech and witty illustrations, that
left his hearers in a pleasant frame
of mind. AS a departure from for
mer programs when the young folks
entertained, Mr.. Mitten gave us a
surprise by having Mr.. Elijah F..
Melvin and Mr.. Caleb ]. Smithers
give talks. Mr.. Melvin's talk was
sincere, earnest and inspiring and
awakened a desire that caused all
present to wish to send the gospel
into every land to gladden. every
heart. When listening to Mr..
Smithers one could scarcely believe
he was long past the age of three
score and ten. In beautiful lang
uage, expressive in the highest de-
gree, he spoke at some length with
complete mastery of his subject and
quoted elOquently from the Psalms.
In singular appropriateness to the
occasion he read extracts from a
letter received by him from Miss
Mary Cashmere, of Jericho, YER
mont. She is the younger daughter
of Rev. and Mrs. Cashmere, and
was born here in the M. E. parson-
age, % years ago. At the time the |
letter was written the young lady |
was preparing to go to Syria as a
missionary. So, it is with honest
pride, that we can point to the fact J
that we have a missionary in the /
foreign fields. The choir sang a
number of appropriate selections
which were very much enjoyed. The
pastor, Rev. N. c. Benson, made the
closing remarks, extending his
thanks and appreciation to the folks
who had made such generous con-
tributiOn to the cause of missions"
