 And niav vou have the greatest success in growing those eter-

The Toastmaster : That is a splendid sermon, brothers 

 and sisters, wouldn't he have been a corker if he was a Meth- 

 odist? And what he said about our Xew England climate was 

 exceptionally good, and should be remembered. The hour is 

 getting reasonably late. We will hear from Mrs. Moulton 

 again, and then we will say good night. 



Mrs. Moulton gave another very pleasing recitation, 

 which brought the evening to a fitting close. 



The Banquet closed at 10 :30 amid much enthusiasm and 

 a general impression that it had been the most successful 

 banquet ever held by the society.
