Plans are now complete for the second
annual excursion of the Moody choir of this
city. This organization has been hard at
work during the past season, and as 4 re-
suit recently gave a most successful con-
cert at the big Central Hall. This concert
not only reflected credit as an artistic sue
cess, but enabled the choir to again dis
perse charity in the shape Of liberal money
contributions to the Associated Charities
Young Mems Christian Association, the
Home for 1ncurabes. the families of the
fremen killed In the Louisiana avenue fire
the Central Union Mission and the ex-
penses of the great Christian Endeavor con-
VeEtfon. Last year the season closed with
large excursion to Bay Ridge, and il is
proposed to repeat the same this year Ac-
cordingly. the choir will go to Bay Ridge
on Friday, June 10, some leaving on the
morning train, but the majority will take
the special train at lis pm. AS so many
members of the big G. e. choruses belong
to the Moody choir, Chairman Clark has
kindly consented to change the regular sec
ton rehearsals from Friday of that week
to some other day to be announced later.
