WEDNESDAY EVENING CLUB 
Interesting talk en the Jeanette Expedition to 
the North Pole, by one of the Sur- 
viving Viembers of the Party. 
The members of the Wednesday 
Evening club, at the first meeting of the 
season held in the Chapel this week, 
listened to a very interesting talk on the 
Jeanette Expedition by one of the two 
surviving members of the party, —Ray-

held in the Chapel Thursday evening, 
when the officers for the year were chos- 
en and the reports of the officers and aux- 
illiary societies were heard. 
The retiring of George Forster Allen 
as clerk of the church after 38 years of 
faithful service, was probably the most 
important feature of the meeting. Mr. 
Allen’s increasing weight of years led him 
to ask to be excused from serving another 
year and a successor was chosen. A 
committee, composed of O. T. Roberts, 
Wm. Hoare, Geo. W. Jewett and 
Dea. Jos. A. Torrey, was appointed. to 
draw up resolutions to be spread upon 
the church records as a testimonial of the
