'The attendance was very good and those absent certainly missed something worth while. A very appreciable in- terest was taken in the work. Rev. C. N. Paddon of Milverton, conducted the service and a: short discourse on purification followed. It was shown that it was the duty of the parents to set the example and by so doing the idea of purity of body and soul would permeate the younger generation.
