The entire evening was a most pleasant one, characterized by a feeling of kindly fellowship and earnest determination to make the new year one of advancement along all the lines. The orchestra and choir are commended for their faithfulness and willingness to assist the pastor in making the services attractive, and the attendance, especially at the evening service, so much larger than is usually found in cities of even larger population than Hiawatha.
