THE DEAF-MUTE SERVICES.

The services that were announced to
be held at the South Emporia Avenue
NJ. +. church on New Years day, for the
benefit of the Southwest Kansas Deaf
Mute association. did not take place until
Sunday, at IL o'clock a. m, owing to the
great snow blockade, which prevented
Prof. Zarbaugh, the interpreter, from
reaching this city until Saturday evening
The professor, with many others, was
snOwbound at Marion for three days.
On Sunday morning Rev. j. w. Horner,
the pastor of the Emporia Avenue church,
preached very appropriate and impress
sive sermon to a fine audience, good rep
resentation of the Deaf-Mute associa-
ton being present. Two or three
familiar, sacred songs were sung by some
of the deaf-mutes in the silent language,
which was a very interesting and impress
sve part of the Sc rvices. The sermon and
other portions of the services were inter
preted by Prof. Zarbaugh, of the Kansas
Institute for the Deaf and Dumb at
Olathe, who, though quite young man,
was quite proficient as an interpreter, and
made a good impression on the audience,
and rendered the services throUgout very
interesting and impressive.
1t Is hoped that another meeting of this
kind may be arranged for in due time, for
the benefit of these deaf-mutes, when they
may be more fortunate in carrying out
their program under more favorable cir
cumstauCes
