NPwORTH LEAGUE MUSIC.
An OLD Folks Concert Arranged fol-
the Coming Week.

An OLD Folks Concert Arranged for
the Coming Week.
The members and friends of the District
Epworth League will spend Wednesday
evening, April 20, at Metzerott Hall, the oc-
casion being Eye olde folkes concerto" and
reception by ye maids attired in costumes
prevalent in the last century. This COM
pany was organized early in the fall of
1894, with a chorus Of sixty voices, and an
orchestra Of twelve pieces, all under the
direction Of Prof. VIM. ]. Palmer, fourth
vice president of the District league.
The history of this organization is quite
interesting. Mr.. Palmer being well known
in Methodist circles, was requested by one
CT the churches to give a concert. From
this start the company has been unable to
meet the great demand upon it for dates.
The concerts have always been gratuitously
given for some worthy charitable institu-
ton. The Methodist Home of the Aged has
been financially aided, as we'll as several of
the local Methodist churches, from the re-
ceipts Of the concert. The library of the or
ganiZation embraces many productions of
n highly humorous order. Among the SOLO
lists, who have not only good voices, but
considerable dramatic talent, are: Miss
Ella Knight, contralto, who is also an ac-
complished viollnist: Misses Gertrude Dana,
Maggie Stems and Ella Lawrenson, Messrs.
Walter HUMPHREYS, Ed. Webb Ferris and
VIM. j. Palmer are among the soloists.
The Douglas Quartet. composed of Misses
Houchen, Wheat, Branson and Lawrenson;
Mr.. Henry, with his euphonium, and Mr..
Fahnestock's flute will be pleasant features
of the concert. The comic songs of Mr..
Fred Darling will be listened to with much
pleasure.
Mr.. Palmer is organizing chorus of 200
voices for the rendering of special music
for the mass meetings of the district
league This chorus will appear for the
first time at the anniversary meeting at
McKendree M. E. Church Friday evening,
May Is.

| thusiastic over their work. The quartet
will be: Miss Meredith, soprano; Miss Fen
derson, contralto; Mr.. Henderson. tenor,

singers have good regulations. and Mr..
Bushnell has sung the title role here before

part now upon the oratorio stage. The So
clety will also be assisted by the Philhar-
monte and Apollo quartets, both organiza-
lions being well known for individual and
collective excellence. The accompaniment
Will be piano and organ. 1t was intended
to have the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra

 One who is within a few days of 80 years of age, and perhaps within fewer hours of his life's end, has written the following letter to his friend In our city: Tn your last letter you say: There is no inspiration in the sunset of life In th1s you make a great mistake, as I shall prove to you; 1t is indeed all source of inspiration to the departing spirit and l here make an observation which, as a critical one. I should like to have noted that Is that Campbelfs lines in Lochiel on this subject are worth all of Scott's clumsy cantos: Thus: Iris the sunset of life brings us mystical lore, and coming events cast their shadows before' As long as Campbell's poetry is not forgot ten and the old folk lore of Scotland sur wives, the sunset of life must be regarded as one of the sources of that peculiar inspiration which gives to the mind of old age that intuitive sagacity which is in deed second light into the mystery of human life" Here are some sweet lines by Rufus McC1ain Fields, the bard, country news paper man of a middle Tennessee town. Pulaski:
 l have heard the greatest artists that the
 world shall ever see
 Sing all the grandest music of the day l have sat with soul transported in a
 mist of melody,
 As l listened to each life-uplifting lay; But the music that is sweetest surest
 round my heart to creep,
 Is the voice that every evening softly
 sings my boy to sleep. Singing in the twilight simple, soulful
 little airs,
 Fragments of some love song, old and
 dear;
 They touch my better nature and they
 me4s my heart to tears
 Just the kind of music that is always
 good to hear;
 So full of heavens tenderness, with love
 so pure and deep,
 Is the voice that in the twilight softly
 sings my boy to sleep. Heart swells from her girlhood may be
 seen through girlish tears, Now doing cradle duty for her God, They come to me like echoes from the
 tomb of buried years
 Just a little glimpse of Eden on the
 sod;
 o! the air is full of angels and their
 wings around me sweep,
 As I listen to the twilight voice that
 sings my boy to sleep.
