as should have been. Mr.. and Mrs.
H. B. KelsO from Lewes, were
present and Mrs. KelsO had charge
of the services. They were wonder
full. She said her subject was
Trees" and told and illustrated
the story of miracles from the Gar
den of Eden to the CrucifixOn, and
the part trees played in the story.
Her illustrations with pictures
were not slides but painted pic
lures.

MIS-. KelsO sang quite a lovely
duet. Mrs. Wallin also sang a solo.

all during Mrs. KelsO's talk.
