The pulpit, chanel and organ
were tastefully adorned with flow
ers, ferns and pot plants.
In addition to the prayers and
scripture lesson by the pastor,
the exercisses consisted of select
ed music by the choir, solos, a du
et, a cornet §o!o, reading,, and an
address.
No better music, other than by
professional chorists, was ever
heard, and the address was sim
ply a master peice of forceful log
ic and enticing eloquence.
The address was by Prof. W. W.
Driskell, of the Perry Public
School. He declared the contin
ued migration of the people from
the country to the cities, togeth
er with the foreign immigration,
made a concentration that was
inimical to good government,
morality and Christianity. The
danger given, he declared that
the only true remedy was Christ,
and the surest method of applica
tion was thorough home mission
work, and that the good women
were the best agents.
His eulogy of women in the
work was snlendid and true.

ker.”
