Mr.. Phillips must have been surprised
Saturday evening, rendering the large
audience that were present when he first
sang in Rellaire, TO look over the house
and SEQ the array of empty benches.
But if the audience was much smaller, 1t
was also much more sppreciative than
the first. Mr.. Phillips opened the en-
tertainment by reading an appropriate
passage from Psalms, after which he
led in prayer. Even in speaking, his
voice shows to excellent advantage, and
he is perfect elocutionist. The whole
audience joined in singing, Come, thou
Fount OF every blessing" and also
at the close in singing an
other Sterling familiar hymn.
The impression made by the "sweet
singer TO Israel" is, we think, much more
satisfactory than at his former visit. he
has the same iull, musical voice, flexible
and under perfect control, and rs an
orcanist he mas never been excelled In
Bellaire Besides this he has not SO many
unpleasant mannerisms, rs he used TO
have and has learned to avoid the
monotony that once made his evenings
OF song so tedious. We think that il he
were to visit Bellaire a third time he
would draw as large house as the first.
Another evening of sacred song was
given last night at the NJ. f. Church,
principally for the children. No admis-
sion was charged and the house was
filed to overlooking.
