That they arvery much so was proved by the laige and appreciative audience which congregated in the Wesleyati Church 011 b riday evening, 2nd inst , when the usual monthly meeting was held. Thanks to the indefatigable efforts of Mr S. Holloway, an interesting and varied programme was put in to the haud.s of the President (Rev. \V. Gittos), at T.;JO p.m. .Lhe Society is to be congratulated on possessing .such an able chairman ; lie

Ida \ anse ; recitation, Master Alec Miller ; solo, Miss Dora Frastr ; recitation, Miss Adele Ahier. These were quite youthful performers, and all deserved a 4< well done T The Rev. J. McDonald (Vice-President) gave a very interesting address, the closing sentences containing good advice to the young fellows who sometimes stand about the cloor instead of takinc a seat like reasonable beings.
