He showed lantern slides and gave a very interesting lecture on life in Tibet. This country is very. hilly. stoney, and the land is scarcely cultivated. There are no roads of any account. One of the main facts as seen from the lantern slides was the poverty of the rank. and file of the people. Nearly all the people are illiterate and only the very wealthy had adequate clothing. The poor people were clad in rags. They have no fuel and no fires. One pic- ture revealed a girl of ten years whose bones appeared to be cutting the skin. Rev. W. J. Patton moved a vote of thanks to Rev. U. Cronheim, to the children who took part in the pa- geant and to all who had helped in any way. The closing hymn, "`The day Thou gayest, Lord is ended" was sung and Rev. W. J. Patton pro- nounced the benediction.
