Who hath woe? who hath sorrow?  Who hath contentions?  Who hath babbling?  Who hath wounds without cause?  Who hath redness of eyes?  They that tary long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.  Look not though upon the wine when it is red.  When it giveth his color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.  At the last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder.  Prayer was offered by Mrs Stocks.  The hymn "He Leadeth me" was sung then Miss Jennie Bailey read the letters to Senator H.W.
