The musical and literary entertainment at
the Congregational church on Wednesday.
evening of last week was one of the most salts
factory and pleasing that the Y. P. S. C. E.
have ever given. The following program was
presented:
Organ Solo-Dr. C. H. Griffin
Recitation-Miss Rena Olin,
Vocal Solo-Miss Lena Walbers,
Selection-B. G. Taylor.
instrumental Duett-Misses Maxson and
1Titter.
Vocal Solo-Max. Riddle,
Selection-B. G. Taylor,
Vocal Duett-Little Master and Miss Walter,
Instrumental-Miss Edith Coe.
SeIection-B c Taylor,
Vocal Duett-Good Night--Misses Lena W al
ter and Ollie Coe
Mr.. B. C. Taylor, whose name appears in the
above program, was one of "Ravenna's boys
some fifteen or twenty years ago and many who
remembered the original Burt as he was ia
miliarly called, could not refrain from express
sions of commentator in the great change that
time and grace had wrought. Mr.. Taylor IS
polished gentleman, a Christian worker and as
a dialect speaker cannot be surpassed. No one
has appeared before a Ravenna audience In the
rendition of humorous and pathetic selections,
that has SO captivated their audience and kept
them in a continuous roar of lighter and ap-
plause as Mr.. Taylor. While each and every
number was good the Little Hunchback,
The Colored Funeral and "Pauper Law,
with organ accompaniment were especially so;
and should he again appear before Ravenna
audience we are confident that larger audi
torium will be needed. The recitation of Miss
Rena Olin, of Kent, was very pleasing, and the
solos of Miss Lena Walters, Ravenna's favor
ite vocalist, were, as they always are. heartily
applauded. Each and every selection on the
program is worthy of especial mention, but
space forbids further comment than to con-
graduate the young people on the success oi
their entertainment.
