At n- dications of stormy criticism, out ex- planations by the pastor, Major the Rev. C. A. Williams, opened the way for commendation instead of opposi- tion. When the report of the St. | James Commission making reference | to the year's work had been read, delegates asked: "Are cards played?" "Is there any charge made for play- ing billiards?" "Is smoking permit- ted?" Major Williams replied that cards were prohibited, smoking was allowed at the request of the military officers, at whose request in the first place the club was started. Promi- nent business men outside of Method- | ism altogether had contributed the sum of $5,600 towards the establish-| ment and maintenance of the club, Refreshments were provided hy a committee of ladies for ten cents, equal to any. 36-cent meal to be had in the city. Everything was free to men in 'khaki, and even refresh- ments cost returned wounded soldiers nothing. Cheers greeted this state. | ment, and no further hint of criti-| cism was heard. | For Motor Boat Control.
