We should be stead fast and unmovable. The apos Hle Paul speaks of many things in this chapter, among them the Resurrection and Christ’s victo :ry over sin and the grave.

Shirley very interesting ly told of the value of the social side of the work among our people and how it should be su pervised. Several games were taught which were very in structive as well as entertain ing, in which Rev. Shirley put all the enthusiasm which is a part of him. Monday night a very interest ing game was played. The names of some cities were given to each one and every city had a nick name. The most inter esting feature was that those who could not match the names had to recite or sing something. This was indeed very entertain ing. Tuesday night the game of families was played. This was very interesting also. A large number was present each night. At the close of the Institute refreshments were served by the ladies of the Church. Every one received new ideas and resolved to make the work better the incoming year. We hope to have Rev.
