Music hall which shall be a substantial
benefit, and thus help to reduce the
debt with which the association will
be encountered on the completion of
their building. To this end the com
mittee have secured the valuable ser
vices of the st. Johnsbury cornet band,
the Ladies' club, and the Male chorus.
Most of our readers know what this
talent ensures for an entertainment.
The band is now well organized and
in excellent practice. 1t has been
brought up to its present state of ex-
cellence by the persevering effort of
by director whose acknowledged mu
steal taste and skill has done much in
many ways for musical culture in our
town. The Ladies' club made their
debut last season and pleased their au
diences with both the character of the
music and the skill and sweetness with
which it was rendered. The Male cho
rus has been recognized this fall and
increased in number to some forty
voices, including all the prominent
male singers in town. Those who
ought to know say this club will give
some of the best chorus singing ever
heard here All these musical organi-
cations give their services to this new
hall enterprise, which is no small con-
sideratiOn. 1t is reckOned that the
whole town will come out and pack
the house at a price per ticket as shall

citation much in debt, yet with the
courage and faith to go on and build a

Church Services.

1t is expected that Rev. DR.. GoOdell
will preach next Sunday morning at
the North church. Subject "Bright
days in Jerusalem" 1t is also expected
that Mrs. Barakat, an educated Syrian
woman, will speak in the evening at
the same place at the union service.
Mrs. Barakat has remarkable his
tory: Born under the shadow of Mt.
Lebanon. she was left fatherless while
yet child by the fearful massacre of
1860. She went to Beyrout where she
learned of the missionaries the story
of Jesus, and spent some years in the
seminary there as scholar and teacher.
Going as missionary to Egypt she was
/ in Alexandria at the time of the late
/ fearful massacre there and barely es-
capped to Malta with her life. Her sub
sequent coming to America and her
accidental Tor providential) discovery
in Philadelphia of the only man whose
name she knew in this country, all
reads like a romance. Those who hear
Layyah Barakat have something to
think about ana remember.
