THE GREEKS OUTGENERALED
LONDON. April 26-The dispatches Of
the special correspondents for publica-
ton tomorrow consist, Tor the most part
of additional details of the Greeks dis
comfiture. The Turkish plans are not
yet revealed There is no doubt now
that the Crown Prince Constantine or
dered the bridges 10 be destroyed before
the Greeks abandoned Larissa, but dam
age could not be done beyond what could
be easily repaired by the Turks. II
seems equally certain that the Greeks
only escaped a crushing defeat with re-
turning daylight by precipitate flight.
The news from Epirus is conflicting.
II seems certain that the Turks have re-
occupied Penteplgadia. and it is not i'm
probable that the Greeks have retreated
to Arta, showing that the Turks alowei
them TO advance to Pentepgadia solely
in order to destroyed the column.
OCCUPATION OF LARlSSA.
LONDON, April 26.-The correspondent
Of the Times at Larissa, telegraphlns

and that it has been revived within
the past few days-but up to this date
the deal has not been closed.

The special musical service held last
Sunday evening at the Congregational
church, was greeted with crowded
house. The three opening organ Sc
lections were finely rendered by Mr..
Harold Lamb. The duet by Miss
Carr and Mrs. Simonton was much
enjoyed, as were also the anthems by
the choir assisted by Mrs. Miner.
The trio with violin, viola and
organ by Harold Lamb, Mr.. Henshaw
and Miss Maud White, was very
beautiful and beyond all praise for its
delicate and soulful entefputation.
Before the address of the pastor up
on the subject The Mission of Music
Mr.. Henshaw sang a fine solo. 1t is
difficult, and perhaps unjust to make
comparisons, but this seemed to be the
finest tenor solo that we have ever
heard him sing. The clearness OF
announciation, the ease and fullness
of expression and the great range OF
his voice in it, is remarkable but the
devotional fervor of this great chris
tian hymn was 80 brought out as to
make it very effective and helpful to
the service of song and praise.
II music isdevine as the speaker con-
tended with great christian history
and if the greatest music on earth is
sacred music, why ought it not to be
utalized more largely in all the service
of the church than tits.
