St. Paul, a boys' organization connect

er a banquet which they had planned
from beginning to end. “One of the
hardest things I find in leaving this
church,” said Mr. Walker, “is to give,
up the acquaintances I have formed
with the boys, and at this meeting es
pecially I found it hard to say good
bye to the little chaps in whom I have
become so greatly interested.”

time Mr. Walker said farwell to his
parishioners who deeply regret his go
