Wil. liams, and Mr A. Cole gave solos; Miss Scott, a, recitation; Mr L. Thomas, a splendid perform- ance with the bones. The general secretary en- tertained tho gathering with a few stories while Mr Summers presided at tho piano. The con- certs are arranged with the idea of providing some occupation and enjoyment for the young fellows who have no definite means of spending their Saturday evenings; and the effort on the part of some of the younger members of the association to help their fellows should certainly be encouraged. Tho well-lighted, oomfortably- heated room, the opportunity of looking at pic- torial magazines, coupled with the delightful little programmes arranged hould prove a great attraction to the young men who parade the si reets on Saturday evenings. There is always a right hearty welcome to all, and there 3 no charge for admission.

It) was evidently a move in tne right direction, for the response to the in- vitations have been most encouraging. The pre- sident of the men's meeting, Mr C. E. Elcock, was in the chair on Sunday. The meeting was opened with very hearty singing, and Mrs Elcock dharmed the gathering by her rendering of tho solo. "The Lord is mindful of His own.' Mr' J. J. Austin gave a powerful address on "Manliness," and was heartily applauded at the clos. A largo body of members of the Old Colvvyn Brotherhood, who had marched over m order to mark their appreciation of the start of these meetings for men, and to wish the move- ment. every success, swelled the numbers of those already gathered.
