MORNING PEAYrr.
This service was ield at tho early hour
of G:30, az has been customary at this
church for several years on this day. This
is about the only church, with but few ex-
ceptions we believe, in the state, where SER
vices are held at that hour Nearly two
hundred were In attendance Tho secc-
tons by the choir were rendered in the
order published in our last issue. The
choir consists of a quartette, composed Of
Miss c. Belle Huntoon, soprano; Mrs. ].
b. Hathaway, contralto; S. f. Carpenter,
tenor Frank NJ. Davis, basso and Choir
ister; ]. b Hathaway. organist. The
1e Dean sung was Il composition Of
harmony and musical effects which have
made the collection of church music" by
the same author, 20 famous. 1t Is withal
very elaborate and has beautiful soprano
solo, which wss sung on this recession with
noticeable sweetness q powerful bass
solo, an elaborate solo for. the tenor and
modest Contralto solo, besides several vol
untarics which add much to its harmonious
effect. The Jubilate was by banks, and
embraced fine solo for the soprano with
its brilliant chorus. The remainder of the
music was chanting and selections of
hymns from the liymna. AS might be
supposed the hour of the morning hardly
conduced to make the rendition of the mu-
sic as satisfying az could have been expec-
ted in the regular hours of service. The
selection however were as VIII lie the best
of tho day.
