Mrs. Clarence Ballentine, who was in
strumental in bringing the eminent pi-
anist Martinus Sieveking to this city in
conjunction with David Bispham, the
baritone, has made arrangements for
return engagements for both of the ar
fists. Monday evening, March s, has
been fixed upon as the date for the
appearance of Sieveking. Mr.. Bisp-
hams concert will take place on Tues
day evening, April 13. Mr.. Bispham
will be assisted by Charles Gregoro-
witsch, the famous young Russian vio-
lin virtuoso, a pupil of Wieniawski,
who appears In America for the first
time this season.
The Syracuse Standard of Feb. 7,
speaks as follows of the work of Mr..
Alfred Wooler, tenor of Scranton,
who recently appeared in concert
at the former city: Conspicuous
among the vocal numbers We're those
given by Alfred Wooler, of Scranton,
whose short stay in Syracuse has won
him many admirers. Syracuse is sad
ly deficient in its number of real tenor
voices, and therefore all the more ap-
preciates the genuine artist in that
line. Mr.. Wooler, 1t may with truth
| fulness be said, possesses the very
| qualifications which go to make an en-
| joyabe vocalist. His voice is a tenor
pure indeed, not a high baritone as
| many so-called tenor voices are. He
has culture, artistic feeling, fine ply
sique, which means so much to a pro-
| fessional singer, and withal seems de-
voted to his art for its own sake"

We're shipped by 7. M. Miller of the

the band, and has shown his apprecla-
ton on many occasions. This last pur-
chase of instruments complete the band
in that line, making 1t one of the finest

THE NARROW WAY.


If we could always be
In heavenly places, sanctilled and still;
Could feel with reyerent and rejoicing
thrill
The presence of the angels; ana could see
With purged eyes, the rays of glory shine
Round a transhgured form, sublime, di-
Nne;
If we colld always stand
So near to Christ that We could clasp His
hand
And follow where he led thro' every day,
Beholding in those mild, benignant eyes
The radiance that illumlnes Paradise,
Unconscious and unheeding of the way;
If sacred rapture were life's daily leaven,
Why, that, methinl,s We're Heaven!
But ours the mundane earth.
Surroundings that forbid us to aspire,
And sin which quenches the celestial fire,
Pleasures that WOO us to unholy mlrth;
Dark seasons, when, weak waverins from
our aim,
We doubt our Lord, thro' endless years
the same
Each for the others sake.
Sweet sacrifice Of self lis ours 10 make;
And ours to treat a steep ana thorny road
Where He the Man of Sorrows. meekly
went,
To freely be in willing service spent,
To point sad wanderers to the saints
abode,
And so, by lowly paths and strife well
striven,
AT last attain to Heaven!
