friendship's we have not lost and of
the pleasure and security found in the
Ohriatian religion. Mr. Robert Mc-
Millan gave an address on how to im-
prove rural conditions. He told us the
struggles of the pioneers had brought
prosperity out of poverty, but the life
of ease they made possible for trs
would complete the cycle and we
should again return to poverty unless

vantages of agricultural organization
such as is found in Denmark. In ex-
pressing appreciation of Mr. McMil-

'hymn of thanksgiving for the multi-
