So many were required that the entire patio outside the shelter house was filled with tables, which were soon filled with an abundance of ' food and drink exceeded only by ' a spirit of fellowship brotherly love and complete harmony, an atmosphere so pleasant it caused us to recall the opining verse of ' the 133rd Palm, Behold how ' good and how pleasant it is L r brethren to dwell together in unity.” even n orc aptly, Evan- . geli< al United Brethren.
