SUNDAY SCHOOL CONCERT. As predicted
in these columns yesterday, the concert by the
Sunday School of the NJ e. Church South
was a success. Too much commcudation can
not be given to the Director, John /. Cooke,
esd for his untiring zeal and excellent judg-
ncnt in the training Of the children. The at
tenton paid by the Director to melody in the
rendition of single or solo pieces, and to har-
mouy in the full chOruses, was fully rewarded
by The apprcciativc bursts OF applause, with
which the several performances were received.
The latter idea was most beautifully eXcmpll-
fled in chorus, wherein the boys and girls
each sang independent parts, the whole pro-
ducing volume Of harmony with which the
presiding Muses. could have found no fault
Miss Alice Thomas, the organist of the Sun
day School, in rich, distinct and forcible man
ncr, contributing largely to the good time
maintained by the singers throughout the even
ing, and no doubt contributing quite as largely
to the general success of the entire programme.
The "Glee Club of the city, composed of
some Of our most talented young gentlemen.
among the amateur artists, rendered their part
of the programme with great taste and effect,
giving evidence of Il great deal of power In
voice, as we'll as skill in its proper use. The
entertainment was opened by a vel written,
and perfectly delivered. salutatory address, by
one of the boys, and followed during the even
ing by one or two dccamations in good style
Upon the whole, we arc sure we but put into
words the feeling of the entire and crowded
house. that the evening was one OF unusual
interest and pleasure, rejecting credit upon
each participation and honor upon the school
