OEGAN IN LUTHERAN CHURCH.
Large Audience Assem- bles 20 Listen TO
the Inaugural Concert ON the Hand
some Organ Presented 20 the
Church by Geo. RyneaI, Jr.
A brilliant and appTeciatIve audi
enee assembled in St. Johns Lutheran
church last Thursday to listen TO the
inaugural concert on the new pipe or
gan recently donated to the church by
Mr.. Geo. RYneal, Jr., which was Civ
en- by Mr.. Robert LEROY Haslup, or
ganist of the Brown Mem orial Presby-
terrain Church, Baltimore, Md, who
has won national reputation as a
concert organIst. That the concert
was a success need scarcely be stated
and this was proven by the generous
applause which greeted the organist
throughout the entire program, which
was varied one, bringing out all the
resources of the new organ. Mr. Has
lup was very ably assisted bv Miss
Bessie Ober Herr. of Westminster,
Md. whose singing provided one of
the most entertaining features of the
program.
The new organ, which was built by
Mr. M. p. Moller, the eminent and
well known organ builder of Hagers-
town Md. occupies a prominent
position in the recess left of the
pulpit. The casing is Of finely select
ed walnut wood AMI the handsomely
decorated front pipes, all designed
and decorated III perfect harmony
with the interior of the church edifice.
while The quality of tone of the vari-
Gus registers leaves nothing to be de-
sired, each stop having its own indi-
vidual quality of tone and the vari-
GUS registers are blended tog ether in
such manner as to produce the best
musical effects and retain perfect bal
ance when the full organ is used. The
motor rlaced in the basement of the
church, which is under the control of
the organist and is equipped with an
attachment which automatically con-
trolls the speed to meet the require
ments of the organ.

In referring to the organ Mr.. Has
lup said that he was very much pleas
ed with tho massiveness of the tone.
yet so refined rs TO make is agreeable
tn each one in the church; for as a
rule an organ of this size is usually
so forced that all the refinement of
tone is sacrificed for noise.
Regarding the soft strung effects he
said that while he was using them
he regretted to have % change the
other combination for he enjoyed
them iio mensely.
The Diapason stood out well aud
the 4 @ and mixture were just about
right, uiullly they were too brilliant.
He sand IN general the voicing was
very good and the mechanical con-
struction was of such character that
