Disciple's Club Annual Banquet

Disciple's Club Annual Banquet held in Christian church last evening

Some witty responses were made to the toasts - the club is composed of young men

The U. of M. Disciples' club of the Christian Memorial church held their first annual banquet at the church Friday and it was a most successful affair. The parlors were festooned with yellow and blue bunting and great branches of fragrant apple blossom were gracefully arranged about the rooms. The banquet table was beautifully decorated with the same flowers. About fifty members of the club sat down to the banquet tables at 8 o'clock and enjoyed to their greatest capacity the excellent menu which was served by the Ladies' Aid society. After the delicious viands had been done full justice the entire club joined in singing "The Yellow and the Blue," after which President E. P Wiles introduced the toastmaster of the evening, Rev. C. J. Tanner, who spoke a few words of welcome. 

Mr. A. E. Jennings, of Detroit, responded to the toast "The Christian Man among his fellow students." His toast was bright and very practical. 

"The Christian Man in the business world." was toasted by Mr. W. G. Malcomson. of Detroit. 

Rev. W. R. Taylor, of Ionia, responded to the toast "The Christian Man and his pastor." The remarks were most brilliant and entertaining.

 The toasts were interspersed with vocal numbers which were given by the male quartet of the church. They were generously encored and responded a number of times. The club is an organization composed of the young men of the Christian Memorial church. They were organized about Feb. 15 and have already a large membership. Their object is to engender sociability among the young men of the church. 

These pleasant banquets will be repeated yearly and will be pleasantly anticipated events.
