Notes.
The first of the series Of special musical
services for the season at Trinity P. E.
church was held last evening and was
enjoyed by a large congregation. Rev.
Mr.. Nichols occupied the sacred desk and
made short but forceful address. The
musical program, Mr.. Hedden director, is
given below. A special feature was the
fine solo singing by Mr.. Carl Duff of the
choir of the Fifth avenue Baptist church,
New York city, whose fine baritone voice
was heard to much advantage in the solo
"Ohl God Have Mercy" from Mendels-
sohn's st. Paul. Mr.. Duff is on his way
home from singing at the Worcester
Musical festival. The program of the eve
ming was as follows:
Organ Prelude-Lemaigre
Cantata Deus in fat-Garrett.
Baritone solo from Mendelssohn's St. Paul
Solo and chorus Eye Shall Dwell in the Land"
-Stainer.
Organ-"March Triomphale"- Guilmant.
One of the most pleasant and brilliant
musical events of the season will be the
series of four organ concerts to be given
by Mr.. Hedden of Trinity P. E. church,
October 90 and 80 and November 6 and 10,
of which mention has previously been
made, and the subscription list for which

sermon, which was an hour in length, was
| full of vigorous and eloquent passages. At
| the close of the sermon many crowded
| about DR., Reed to shake hands with him
