was to convert -the crystal palace at

This appealed to the minds of the
brethren; about •eighty strong, oc-
cupied the centre pews. Beautiful
spring blooms decorated , the pulpit
and the choir looked splendid in
their new surplices. Special music
was -rendered for they occasion.

are forever under criticism. Mem-
bers who do not live up to their ob-

class rooms but that too, would be
costly and unsatisfactory. There
remained another proposition and
that was to rent a room down town
