Sacred Concert q Success.

The sacred concert given at the Episcopal
church Wednesday evening, under the
dictatorship of Mrs. r. 0. Cooper, was at
tended by as large an audience as the
church could comfortably seat, and was a
success from every point of view. The
work of the chorus of fifty voices was fine,
showing a large amount of care In the work
of the rehearsals which have been going on
for several weeks. Each of the local SOLO
lists did work which we'll sustained their
previous good reputation and was matter
of c0ngratulatiOn among their friends.
This work was somewhat difficult for them,
however, not only from the fact that the
music was of classical character, but also
because, from the sacred character of the
whole program, any marked evidence of ap-
probation Of the fine points i'm the work of
the singers would have been quite out of
place and the appreciation had rather to be
felt than expressed. The singing of Mrs
Bennest was the strong feature of the solo
work and duet sung by Mr.. and Mrs.
Bennest was especially praise worthy.
The program was closed with Handel's
Hallelujah Chorus sung by the full chorus
with precision aud fine effect under the
direct0rshlp of Mrs. Cooper. The entire
program was of a high character, such as
can very seldom be heard except in large
city or city which has a conservatory OF
music within its bounds and was credit tC
those who worked to get it up. 1t cannot
help playing noticeable part in the educs
ton of the public to the best in the musica
world.

A Wonderful Imagination.

A stranger to Owosso on reading
a copy of last Fridays Charlotte Leader
would suppose that Owosso was the
possessor of as fiendish and ghoulish a
set of gorilla-like citizens, and parti-
cularly foot ball players and enthusiasts,
as were ever collected about d single
gridiron this side of hades-if indeed he
would not include that place also in his
statement But then, the Leaders re-
porter was youth of tender years and
large imagination, and in the excitement
of the gameiand the frenzying anguish,
lest after all their mighty Bosco should
be playing on beaten team, it is no
wonder that the only descriptions
which he could find to fit Owosso play
ers and an Owosso crowd were the ones
with which he had been all day long
describing in his own mind, his own
players, and in particular the giant on
whom all Charlotte foot ball players and
their sympathizers pin their trust. The
imagination of that youth is something
wonderful, but the Leader should let him
out more. He should occasionally, say
once month, be led around and shown
few live men and women, and, being
led up to it gradually, at the end of a
few years he might at last be trusted
to occasionally meet few foot ball
players or enthusiasts, but not for many
minutes at time, and not until he gets
so that he can tell the genus homo at the
distance of six feet at least with the
naked eye and unassisted by tutor or
a guide. His courage may also be in
creased without seriously injuring even
his valuable imagination, If such care
full treatment is accorded him, so that in
time he may learn that in Michigan at
most any four corners, even at Owosso,
the right OF free speech prevails and ex-
tends even to yelling for ones own side
at foot ball game without carrying
with 1t fears of being devoured by an
urchin smaller than himself. His i'm
agination is indeed wonderful, but it
shows mind most cruelty dwarfed, al
( most to degeneracy, from being kept in
abject fear and terror all its life.
The Leader should certainly make ar
rangements to walk the young man
around, with proper escort of course
until he gets used to seeing and hearing
real, live people such as enjoy seeing
foot ball games. 1t iscruel to send him
out all at once to reporc one himself.
Some day it may strain his Imagination
too far. But he certainly has wonder
full imagination.
