lie showed The depraved condition
OF these people in their native land,
under the teachings of their sapes
and heathen philosophy, aud proved
from scripture as well as from his own
personal observation in China that
the light of christian knowledge was
the only thing that could elevate
them from their moral filth.
He said that tho Chinese were

would surround us on all sides rs

The Episcopal Concert


The Episcopal Concert
Last Friday evening was as com
p ,te and grind success as we have
ever had i'll Ornngeburg. The pro.
gramme rs published in our last issue
was c,rried out with perfect salts
faction to the large audience, whic h
as we predict ed, the known repu,a.
ton Of the performers attracted. The
best evidence of the high apprccia-
ton WAS the frequency o: the encorcs
which greeted the performers, and
especially Mrs. Knowlton and DR..
lsbcr, who were several times
brought back to the fcotliyhts, and
retired amidst shower of bouquets.
Miss Ollie Wunnamakc who was
called in at a late hour to take tn.
Place of one who was deferred from
coming through providcntial inter
terence, in spite Of her youth, per
form her part in a manner which
would have reflected credit upon ons
Of ripper years.
The performances on the piano by
Mrs. kohn and Miss jacobson were
of the first order and elected hearty
applause.
The quartetle sung by Mr.. Kohn,
MIR. Fowles, MIR. LaRoche and Mr..
l. l.. Wannamakcr was des ervedIy
encored.
Or .Southern Nome by Gussie and
Fannie Knowlton was well done, ex
h'bi'ng the best Of training.
Mr. jacobson AS violinist and Capt.
Glover as accompanist con tributed
much TO the effect of the pieces.
"A recess of half an hour was given
during which refreshments were
served up by the Committee consist
ing of Mrs. Palmer, Mrs Legare,
Miss Mackey and Mrs. Mellicham,.
Alter the recess, besides the music
u recitation was given by Prof.
Lawrence which kept the audience
i'll roar Of laughter.
The delightful entertainment
wound up with selections from the
popular burlesque of HMS Pinufore
which was full OF fun from the he gin
ming to the end. We have heard the
remark that Mr.. Henry kohn.pcr.
sonated the Captain with better effect
than any one who has essayel the
character i'll Charleston and else
where.
a little lucid cnt at this point is
worthy of mention. Just MS the
ladies were taking their positions
Mrs. Knowlton's dress took fire from
the footlights. Ins cad of becominr
excited, as is SO common, she looked
upon the whole with perfect indifer-
ence and composurc until it was ex-
tlnguished, thus preventing what
might have been serious accident.
We are Informed that the proceeds
OF the entertain nient are regarded as
handsome for the hard times, and we
congratulate our Episcopal friends
upon their success not only pecuni.
arily, but Ill furnishing the com
munity with rare and admirable
musical treat.
Without detracting, in the least,
from the credit due to all who par
ticirated III this mtst excellent and
long to be remembered concert, we
must be allowed TO accord tie full
mead Of praise to Mr.. and Mrs.
krowlton for their zeal and crafty
ing success in the good cause.
