Mr K. J. Smith look the chair, and. in explaining the object of the entertainment, said that Lire organ which they had in the church was in a rather had state. The organist (Mr R. Nimmo) had supplied a report on what it would cost to bring the, instrument up to date. -This had been found too expensive, so it had been decided to do the most necessary work. It was with the object of raising funds for that purpose that the entertainment had been organised. A series of interesting pictures was shown, and these were explained by Dr and Airs Waddell i nturn. Portions of the trip Home, scenes in London, the English countryside, Scotland, and Ireland were shown, and some remarks hearing on each slide were given.
