given by Miss ICeturah Brown in a

note the liquid tone; of her lower notes.
The song suited her voice to perfec-
tion. The second part of the program
opened by shorten(' figurative address-
es by Mr. VanEvery, representative at
Galt of the R. T. of T's Insurance Co.
The speaker said as an instance of
economy of managemenb in fraternal
organizations as compared with Life
Insurance Companies he would quote
he following extract in %Ivor of the R.
T. of T's During a term of five years
two of the largest Canadian Life
Iiiiiirance Companies collected in
premiums from theigpolicy-holders the
1.311m of $9,088,770. Dunes the same
thne they paid in death claims $2,779,
270 and disbursed for expenses $2,183, ,
374, This shows that they collected in
premitune over three times the amount
paid in death claitns and that for every
thousand dollars paid to policy -hoidens
$764. or 70410 per cent. Was expended
In payment of salaries, commissions,
expenses, etc. The expenses of the
Roy al Template for doing the same
work for its members average 10 3-5
per cent. This shows clearly the great
ethnoray of this insurance. Mrs. (Jolin
Campbell's name was then given out
by the Rev, chairman who conferred
quite mead of praise upon -that lady,
noting her arduous work for years in
Mw tenaperance cause. Herselection as
usual was very suitable for the ocean:in
"The flight of ages" which Mrs. Camp.
bell sung in good voice. Miss Minnie
McVittle's solo seemed to be the gem
of the evening for it earned her very
warm applause, "Beauty's Sleep."
Her after song was just a repetition of
last verse of the seine, Henri Jordan
on rising to glee hie number "Because,"
cornet solo, was vouchsafed quite an
ovation. Bile after solo was "Annie
Laurie" both of which solos showed his
complete mastery of that instrument,
the tones being powerful and the hit*
notes matt. „Mts Janaes Thompson'e
baritone solo, too, won him great
applauee, being "The Soldiers of the
Queen" which lie Rung with perfect
enunciation, On being recalled by
very warni applause he also sung the
liset verse over, Next on the program
was a recitation by Miss Lizzie Wilson,
