He seemed to be as much at home in the

the bombardment, for he extemporized an
excellent, practical discourse from the text,

IHE MUSICAL CONVENTION yesterday held
three interesting sessions. That of the morn
ing was given to singing church music; from
10 to IL, under Mr.. Baker, the selections
were from the Tabernacle" and from IL to
II from the ''Voice of Praise led by Mr..
Hamilton. Choruses from the s'Messiah"
were practised in the afternoon, and stirring
address was made by Mr. Burnham. In the
evening there was a public rehearsal which
gave great pleasure to all whose good fortune
it was to be among its listeners. Miss Hous-
ton of Boston, and Mrs. Monroe of this city,
were among the solo singers and were hearth
ly encored. Our Hauptman Club gave one
of their favorite songs. Messrs. Burt, Stearns
and Allen on the violin, violoncello, and piano,
played most satisfactorily one Of Haydcn's
trios.
In addition to these were sung by other
members of the convention, choruses which
called out the full strength of the class. To-
day will see preparations for the public con-
cert of Friday evening. Prof. Baker will
also present his well considered views on some
of the many topics connected with singing in
the church. A lecture is also expected FROM
one of our clergymen, who is widely known
by the musical works he has edited. Mrs.
Little, and others who have not yet done so,
are expected to join the convention to-day.
The interest is evidently on the increase, and
its exercises will well reward all who have
music in their souls.
