The latter is the one here meant aud
as the music OF the Episcopal Is 50 far

81. Philips church in West Twenty

that, as far rs the constant desire -
have fan and play pranlys with one sn-
other was concerned. there was no.
much differences between c9se--d aud
white boys And IS the choir consisted
of thirty boys. in addition 10 twenty
men, he had to keep his ewes opon. In
time the youngsters began 20 submit
fairly we'll 10 discipline and are now
quite traetable. OF course there was
no trouble with the men.
The colored race Is essentially mu-
seal, both in ear and voice. and tb,s
fact has caused the choir Of 81 Philips
10 be reckoued among the best boy
choirs in the city. Once the youngste~s
are interested they enter uoon che
work with an earnestne>s that would
pnt many white boy 10 blush Ia the
choir there are several remarkably
good soprano voices. Two u.te coll
ored chaps. Prentice Hutchinson and
Howard Braxtou, are regarded rs
especially fine, and to them NEST Of tbs
solos are given. The ages Of the boys
range from 20 10 years.
Mr.. Kinney says that. rs far as he
knows, he Is the only white person con
nected with the church, though the
rector, Rev. II. C. bishop j. Frequently
assisted by white ministers. e.
