Epviorth League Anniversary Interesting Services and Fine Lecture. Last Sabbath the anuiversaly Ser- vices of the Epworth League of the Methodist church, Benssels, took place and were marked by a large measure of success. The wnriling service dealt with the Junior League work and con- sisted of various exercises, conducted by Miss Penile Shaepe, Superintendent and her assistant Miss Hattie Down- ing, in which the youthful members gave.evidente of acquaintance with Biblical lore, church history and 30nior League work. Rev. Dr. Oaten gave a short practical addte,8 on the Beaver, usin Os an object lesson a part of a tree upon which a beaver 1 i had worked..' A selection n of music c was well sung by a conipauy of girls and. a good chorus rendered by the Leaguers, It is worthy of more than passing notice that the Methodist con- gregation in Brussels of the future depends lo a very large degree 00 the g:edenf work dune ;n the primaries and 111e 1(1101est evidenced in the children by the adults. There is no more hopeful work undertaken than that dealing with the youth and it certainly deserves the hearty support anti approval of the congregation as 5 whole. bliss Laura Leatherdale pl'e- se11ted the Treasurer's report for the past torn, stumble that $12 50 had been cnlitribttled for Missions.

And so the large ,gathering felt as this wonderful hero of fiction appeared in the flesh, in the person of the Rev. Do. Cleaver. No reading in a home by one's self could approach to the fascivation of thisman's rendering of the story in its vital parts and one wonders if dramatization wonld make the least change from Monday night's description. pi mu the arrest of Jean Valjean, the poacher, to his death as Fatter Brebeuf, the voice of forgive- ness was never missing in the fine portrayal as one was led along step by step from the arrest in his 02512 town to the condemnation at Toulon. All through the .terrible nineteen years in the galley you could feel the iron Collar riveted around the neck, the iron ball tied to the ankle, 111e attempt at escape, and then one seemed to. collapse vlth h' as the second ball ivas nut on the other ankle, and the three more years added to Jean's sen- tence, until 0115 gasped at the terrible mounting years of servitude Which now have reached the ominous figure -nineteen-all for a loaf of bread. And so on through the years of'pros- perity until -his death, with little Oosette et his side, and the man she loved, who was having taken away from him, as all through his life had been taken, everything that was dear to - him, the one living thing his wearied heart coveted. About two hours were occupied by Dr. Cleaver but the interest never flagged. Be- fore the lecturer was introduced "Nearer my God to Thee" was sung by Miss Downing accompanied by a band of girls in white who interpreted this gland old hymn in motion, Rev., Dr. Oaten presided. The Epworth League under whose auspices the lecture was given deserves credit for being Mattel - mental in seeming this literary treat. F proceeds proceeds were about $55.00. Dr. Cleaver will be welcome back.
