A FINE SERMON appropriate to the day was
delivered yesterday by the associate rector of
the Ascension church, who was assisted in the
services by the Right Rev. Bishop Pinckney.
The music, OF fine order, was admirably given
by voluntary choir of 20 voices, directed by
our well-known and highly talented organist,
Prof. Geo. W. Walter, to whom great praise Is
due for bringing The choir to its present high
standard. The soprano solos were finely sung
by Mrs. 81. Smith and Misses Maggie Smith and
Carrie Stevens; the alto solos by Misses Laura
Murdoch and Nellie Smith. The second soprano
parts in quartette (MoSenthal'S Jubilate) and in
trio of kroel's TIE Deum were finely sustained
by Miss Florence Rechenbaugh, who is the for
tunate posseSSor of a rich meZZo soprano voice
of rare sympathetic quality. The solos for
male voices were well rendered by our favorite
tenor, Mr.. Edwin Hay and MeSSrs. B. ZeVely &
j. Richardson (baritone)
