Ladies from the Kent Terrace Church presided at the tea tables. There was a large attendance in the church at 7 p.m., when the missioner jireached on "Why Did Christ Die?" Mrs. Good was at the organ. There was a big attendance at the song Bervice later in the institute, when opportunity was taken to present an inkstand, suitably engraved, to Mrs. Good to mark her tenth year of voluntary service. Members of the orchestra also received tokens in appreciation of their work. On the King's Birthday the men assembled in, the institute, and the games, under the leadership of the missioner (Mr. James Moore) and his workers, were most successful.
