The first of the winter series Of mu- |

The first Of the winter series of mu-
steal services at the First Congrega-
tional church, was given on Sunday
evening, and was quite a success in
every way. Though the weather was
diSagreeable the church was filed with
deeply interested and appreciative
audience. The music was of high
quality and especially appropriate TO
the time of national thanksgiving. 1t
is evident that the choriSterS work
diligently and enthusiastically with
their able conductor, and the result is
thoroughly Satisfactory-the produc-
tion of music to which it is a privi-
lege to listen. Mr.. Taylor believes in
the noble function of music. that it is
one of the great essentials of life-a
very important part in the education
of young and old, and a great power,
elevating and refining the community.
We appreciate the fine work he is do
ing, and we hope the people of our
city will show appreciation by crowd
ing the church at every one of these
services. Miss Philleo always accom-
panies with fine taste and feeling. 1t
is privilege for any church to have
such a capable musician.
