A permanent organization Of the choir is
contemplated. and at a recent meeting a
resolution favorins this move was unani-
mously adopted, and the director, Mr.. Fos-
ter. authorized TO appoint an executive COM
mittee to arrange the details for such an
organization. This committee consists of
the director, ex officio, DIR. NJ. D. Peck, DIR.
F. 3. Woodman, Jas. w. Somerville Frank
A. Wilson and Pliny NJ. Hough.
The plan of organization reported by this
N mi nd ind INrr = 80
the choir should continue. under some ap-
propriate name. as society to promote the
interests of sacred music.
1t Is not designed to enter in any degree
into competition with existing musical Or
CARNATIONS, but will simply be body Of
those who are able and willing to lend mu-
steal assistance to religious and char;tab BILE
enterprises. Already 1900 applications for
membership in this society have been re-
ceived, but 1t is probable that the limit will
be placed at 800.
1t is not expected that regular meetings
or rehearsals will be held but II is designed
that the executive committee shall take into
consideration all matters pertaining to the
society. Already the organization is under
q promise to assist In the Odd Fellows en-
tertainment on April q.
Coming Concert.
During the Moody meetings, many who
desired to hear the choir were repeatedly
prevented from 50 doing on account Of the
crowds.
As a consequence Of this, many requests
have been received to the effect that the
choir should give a concert.
1t has been accordingly determined that
the choir shall give such a concert and Fri
day evening, April Q. Is the date on which
1t will be given.
The proceeds are to be devoted to some re-
ligious or charitable object to be decided
upon by a vote Of the choir hereafter.
The concert will be Of rather a novel
character.
Many of the best Of the Gospel Hymns
sung during the Moody meetings will be
rendered and the program will be inter
spersed with solos.
1t Is expected that the choir will be as
| sisted on this occasion by Miss Carrie Kid
well. Miss Dorothy Byrd Rogers, Mr. Hern-
don Morsell. Professor n. DuShane Coward
and others.
Hall, and arrangements have been made
for 5000 tickets, at % cents, which can be
exchanged for reserved seat without extra
charge They are being rapidly disposed of
and the prospects are that the concert will
be a success both artistcally and financially.
