read over the hymns great many times,
but to inquire into the lives of the au
thors ana collect incidents connected
with a great many of the songs. He
gave quite number of these incidents,
which were intensely interesting. The
music itself rendered on the occasion
was particularly good. Mrs. Kate Will
liams sang in solo the sacred song. "For
! All Eternity" She was in fine voice
and sang the selection beautifully.
"Peace Be Still' was sweetly rendered
| by Miss Anne Fleming: her perfect
pronunciation and clear voice charming
the audience, as it always does. Another
pleasing number was Amazing
Grace" sung as duet by Misses Elem
ng and Ashton; ard still another was
by Mr.. Arch Lipscomb, whose sweet
voice was shown to fine advantage
when he sang "The Beautiful City,"
Several selections were sung by the
choir and congregation, nearly all of
them being the old fami lar hymns.
