The consolidation committee held
its weekly meeting last evening, at
which time a number of matters were
considered. The full board was in so
tendence. The election of councilmen
to the central body was discussed.
These or course would be nominated
in the several taxing districts. but the
question which was discussed last eve-
ning was as to how they should be vot-
ed upon, whether by districts or at.
large. The number of districts was
also discussed. Neither of these mat-
ters were settled.
hast night's meeting was the first
at which Christian swart: was in at»
tendence. He presented his ideas as
to what the charter should embrace.

Mrs. John Svec, Violinist, As-

First Congregational
Church
Even the unwillingness of the rain-
mnkers to take I vacation yesterday
afternoon did not orevent a fair lined
and faithful audience of music lovers
from attending Mr. Alex 8. Gibson's
thirty-sixth organ recital in the First
Congregational Church. This was the
first in the fifth of free organ recitals.
and was given under the auspices of
the American Guild of Organists of
the United States and Canada. Mr.
Gibson was assisted by Mm. John
Svec, violinist. That the recital was
a success both from the standpoint of
the selections included and the excel-
lence of their interpretation needs not
to be said except for tho benetilt of
times acquainted with Mr. Gibson's
work as master of the organ. He is‘
equally at home in modern and en-
clcnt music, and the intricate classical
composition rolls forth as ‘ spontane-
ously asthe modern fantasy or the me.

Mr. Gibson characterised this letter In ~

Rossettl's poem. "The Blessed Damo-

The audience sympothited with the

condition of the local work.
His subject was the conservation of.

Memment had been “CI in colo-
red» in minimum districts by

careful conservation of the mom-cos
of young life by the (rent. movement:
of Christian Endeavor. This energy,
resident in the church. was conserved
for future service by training in too-
timony. and prayer in the C. B. so
clety.
The movement of Christian Endeav-
or was training the young people in
loyalty to the home church. Chris-
tion Endeavor is not non-denomlrw
tional. but inter-denominational and
the value of this organisation is seen
in the fact that there Ire more Bap“
tint1 Methodist C. E. societies than
there are B. Y. P. U. or Epworth

The speaker declared that the Chris»
tian Endeavor was training the young
people in Christian citizenship and re-
in preventing the Johnson-Jennies
fight in California and the energetic
campaigning to prevent moving pic-
tures of the some fight from being ex-
