Through the kindness of Mr. Wm. Price, a spacious room in his residence
has been put at our disposal, and herein we hold our meetings every
Monday evening, and examine one another on the matters we have read
during each preceding week, and the answers form vital topics for
discussion of surpassing interest. But we are by no means selfish with
our highly prized acquirements, and our circle is greatly honored by
the leading Lyceum of this city, the management of which has graciously
requested us to take charge of the first half of their program. In
response we send some one of our circle in a representative capacity,
to each meeting to deliver a lecture upon one of the subjects of the
course, and we expect to take up all in due season. Already much
interest is awakened, and our circle promises to become famous for its
capable and willing workers for Christianity and culture.

_Holliston, Maine._—Our local circle numbers forty members. Our
meetings are held monthly, and the program is arranged by a committee
of two, and announced a month in advance. Synopses of readings are
given, and essays on leading characters and topics. We have talks on
subjects of general interest and Round-Table conversations. On memorial
days we have readings from the authors whose day we celebrate. We
allow considerable time for music, for the singing of class songs, and
we expect all qualified to furnish music, to do so by making their
own selections. Once a year we give an entertainment of a musical and
literary character, inviting friends who are not members. From time
to time we have public lectures, arranged on subjects of interest and
connected with C. L. S. C. work.
