The W. A. to the H. H. served a very
excellent supper to the public in the
Tnited church in Hazelton last Friday.
evening, ‘It had heen intended to have
it on the lawn of the manse, but the
weather had turned cool and was rath-
er- threatening. The tables were there]:
fore pliced in the church. The supper
was well organized. the ladies in
chirge did their work well and there
wis not a hiteh from start to finish.

Best of all. however, was that the food
was good and in quantities sufficient
far the crowd and one ‘or two baskets
left. over, A little more faith on the
part of some one and no doubt the fall
twelve baskets could be gathered up.
Supper was served from six to eight
abd. during ‘that time enough folk did

ladies a little over $40.00

Following the supper there was 4
short program of music, readings, re-
eitations Dr H.-C. Wrineh put om a
