The entertainment as a whole was one
of the best a HiDsdale audience has been
privileged to listen to for a long time
Every number showed careful preparation
as we'll as marked ability. A pleasing fea-
ture was the work of little Miss Phyllis
Woodall, who is only nine years old, who
handles the bow with rare skill. The
solos by Messrs. Holland and Fitzgerald
were thoroughly enjoyed. Although the
program was long repeated encores were
cheerfully responded to. A handsome
sum was realized 10 reward the club for
their efforts. We trust this is not the last
time we shall hear from the boys, and feel
sure they would always draw out a large
audience.
Paul Mann is favorite reader with the
Hinsdale audiences and his selections were
heard on this occasion with great pleasure
Reception to the New Methodist Pastor
A pleasant reception was rendered Rev
| E. j. Deane, the new Methodist pastor,
ct the vestry Wednesday evening. A gen
eral invitation had been circulated, and al
societies were we'll represented in giving
Mr.. Deane hearty welcome. A delightful
entertainment was given consisting of Sc
lections by the Aeolian, Mandolin, Banjo
and Guitar club, an organ solo by Mis-:
Ethel Streeter, reading by Miss Nora
Smith, and solo by Miss Hattie Knapp
These were followed by short but pithy
speeches by the local clergymen. Rev
Mr.. Fisher of the Universalist church wa:
first called upon and in behalf of the
churches and citizens welcomed Mr.. Deane
| He spoke of the tremendous power o.
Boss Croker, and his constituents in New
York, and said that if the church mem
bership of Hinsdale were as harmonious IL
their work, the evil would be driven out
and good would prevail. He hoped Il
see union and good fellowship, and the re
suits which must follow united effort.
Rev. w. H. Woodall, the Baptist pastor
said he had come in at the eleventh hour,
and therefore had hardly caught the trenC
of the meeting, but had heard enough Il
get the idea of union, and he was will
everybody who was for the lettering ant
uplifting of the community. he had liveC
among us long enough to see there wer
evils to be eradicated, and hoped to see
done
Short speeches by Mr.. Jewell and G. A
Robertson were followed by the Methods
pastor. Mr.. Deane made his position yer
plain on questions of reform. By the he'll
of God, he should stand, if he stood alone
for that which was right, and against tn
tremendous evil of the day, which bring
so much of sorrow, restitution and Grim
wherever it has sway.
Dainty refreshments were served, and
social hour closed one of the pleasantes
church gatherings of the season.
