Tea was on the tobies at 5 p.m. and an excellent spread was provided for all comers. After the tables had been cleared the church was densely packed for the meeting, many not being able to get sitting room. The choir sang Sariky, and children's Hosannas, which were much appreciated. Miss Grice sang a solo very sweetly, and Mrs^Tolljr aod Miss Grice sang, very nicely,' the Convent Bells. Miss Linton and Mr Fergusson gave a dialogue, which was - very amusing. The Rev.
