in trainining the youths. The
exercise W'hich was of ordinary
length was rendered without a

Special mention is due the four
little girls dressed as Japanese
who sang a song in that langu-
What the song vt^j^ we do
not know, not being able to in

the collection was taken by them
at the finish of the song,
suppose it was about giving to
the Japanese. The rostorum
was decorated with evergreens
which presented a lovely and

speeches.
The chuich was crowded.

ry,” volume 10, page 66) says
