As w res of this meeting 4 club for such boys was started and the activities spon- |sored by the Missionary socicty of the Congregational church. Mrs. Carlyle ). Barnes, who donated all of the furnishings of the new club dedicated last evening at an expense of thousands of dollars, was the first president.
