LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
A NEEDY FAMILY.


 Editor of NeacS
 We have subject for Christian sym pathy and charity in our midst which appeals forcibly to us, s,although perhaps but few are aware of it's deepest needs One year ago we find this man in com paratively good health and able to SUD- port his family, consisting of wife and six young children. On the 23rd of last March their dwelling was burned to the ground including large part of their furniture. and also their barn. There was some insurance on the prop erty. Since that time this man has been unable to work and has very heavy doctors bills to pay and at this time is very low. MT M. T. Moore, of Norfolk, Conn.,, an old friend, kindly took the matter in hand and heading paper in their behalf gave his personal attention to the matter and succeeded in collect ing in Norfolk, East Canaan and Canaan the sum of over $lO6, which he paid over to the needy family. Much credit is due MT Moore in his exertions to help this family who are very needy. Truly yours E. 5. ROBERTS, East Canaan, Conn.,, Jan 26, 1891.

that this city is becoming quite musl-

days gone BY about the ruinous effect
OF the lake winds on the Michigan
voice, that people are surprised to
know that there are in our midst sing
ers who are without peers IN any city
Of the same size throughout the United
States.
The demand for teachers of vocal
culture has induced several instructors,
WHO have been trained by the beet
talent OF this country and of Europe,
TO settle here, 30 that now it is possible
oget very good musical education
without leaving home. In the churches.
in the concert halls, and at musicales
are heard the sSeet and powerful voices
Of "home-talcnt." Singing societies
are starting ny in different parts OF the
city, and arc doing much towards edu-
eating the public taste for better music.
Many Grand Rapids boysand girls have
already won laurels for themselves at
home and abroad, and besides there is
a large class coming on whose abilities
seem to warrant the prophecy that a
brilliant future awaits them. Appended
will lie found the portraits OF seyeral
young ladies whose voices have brought

praise has the slightest bad effect on
her, her simple. unaffected manner
being one Of her greatest charms.
While much more advanced in piano
culture than in voice, she promises to
make just AS much of success as q

Miss Clara Goodman. the soprano
singer of Westminster choir, is almost a
stranger to Grand Rapids, having been
here only little over year. But IN
that year she has won many staunch
friends and admirers. Before coming
here she studied in Cleveland. Her
voice IS one of great promise, ranging
from < below middle 10 high C. She
sings operate and sacred music with
equal finish, but she much prefers the
bitter. She is the kind who works, and
she will probably make music her
profession.
