SUMMER PROGRAMS. The M. I. A. of the Wapatch Stake have issued a neat pamphlet of thirty- tv70 pages containing a summer course, approved by the Stake presidency. It contains also names of the stake officers and ward presidents, with instructions to the latter in regard to the meetings, and missionary work for the summer. Joint public sessions will be held each Sunday evening in all the wards, and the exer. cises will be rendered by visiting members from other wards and will consist of nifie programs based on history, literature and art, supplemented with science, music and current events, to be presented by the members of the visiting wards. These exercises will alternate with eight lectures and a visit by the stake super-

Ward committees will look after the supplementary programs, transportation, reception of visitors, chaplains, ushering, and care and order of the meetinghouses. The visits began May 3 and will continue up to September 20. All the ward programs were well received on the 3rd, and the people were out in full force. In some wards standing room was at a premium. The oi'tline for summer programs for the Alberta Stake has been received from Superintendent W. 0. Lee. It consists of two studies for each week during the season, and is made up of two parts: lectures on ecclesiastical history, per- taining especially to the apostasy and the rise of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; and topics from the Reading Course of last season, including lectures from Secret of Achievement and Great Truths. We have also to thank the superintendents of Cache, Xebo and Bear Lake stakes for programs received. THE DAWNING. MALE QUARTET OR CHORUS. Words by Parley P. Pratt. Music by Alfred M. Durham. Beaver.
