AT DAVENPORT.

At the Davenport Congregational church fine choir under the direction of pr. D. A. Jones, excellently gave Ho- ratio w. Parker's cantata "The Holy Child" As a preface to the rendition of the cantata the pastor of the church, the Rev. George Foster Prentiss. made a few explanatory remarks in which he took occasion to state that the writings Of Professor Parker were ahead of the times and for this reason many persons were inclined to believe them to be needlessly hard. He said this was by reason of their being immensely relig- ious and if more persons know Profess 'sor Parker musically as well as socially they would understand his writings all the more. The cantata was thoroughly enjoyed, and the solo work of the mezzo soprano, Mrs. D. A. Jones, and the bass, S. w. Dudley, was particularly fine.

SECOND DoRscHT CONCERT

' F Given by the Second Regiment Band,
 With the Assistance of Miss Mae
 Bradley, Soprano 5.
 The second concert in the Dorscht series was given by the Second regi- nnent band, under the direction of Frank Fichtl, at the Hyperion theater last evening, the usual large and en- thusiastic audience being in attend ance.
 The programme was one well arrang- ed and included almost everything in the way of character, from the mechan- ical imitation of a birds Warble to the noble Wagnerian strains of 'Lohen- grin.
 Band music, with it's certain lir1ita- tions, as compared with the string or cfestra, is, however, a pleasing change to the Dorscht concert-goers, the audi ence repeatedly showing it's approval.
 Of the lighter numbers the Patrol, ; with it's Whistling melodies, and the Idylle, by Orth, were the best done. Schubert's overture to "Rosamunde," :" with it's exacting entries, was beauti- fully given, and in this number Con QuttOI F 4C1lll 5ollOWSu SfAltl LII dllQ IlldS- terful control over the players. In the Verdi collection, with it's ever-changing tempt he directed with unusual spirit Several encores were demanded Throughout the programme.
 The soloist of the evening, Miss Mae Bradley, is a welcome singer on the concert stage. Her work is always that sof a serious student, and with each ap- pearance shows more professional training. While her voice seemed tired last evening, she did, however, display some fine colorature in Claminades L'Ete, and sang with delightful en- ergy Germans In Summer Time She was enthusiastically received, and in consequence gave two charming en- cores. Mrs. Robertson played the ac-. compartments.
 The concert closed with the introduce fion and bridal chorus from "Lollen- grin, 2 in which the brass wind and clarinets appeared to good advantage.
 These concerts are proving a twofold good, in that they not only furnish funds for aged and meritorious musi- clans, but are an excellent means of educating the unsteady inclined to d higher standard of instrumental as we'll as vocal music.

The suoerintendent said he forgot it storned without. as he saw the sun shine reflected from good deeds in the Faces present. An old couple eighty years of age, members of the First church, were profuse in their thanks and the dear old wife brought forth out of her storehouse a talent which some of the young might we'll envy. She sent the following sweet poem which was read to the school:
 For the Sunday School of the First NJ. F,
 1r% Chureh, Corner of Elm and Col 5. Y lege Streets.
 Thanks for the sweet remembrance, friends. In which you took part;
 It cast a ray of sunshine in .f Our very lonely hearts.
 God keep you in this world of ours
 From danger and from sin,
 And may you always be as quick -.-t To let the sunshine in. Now, in the future, girls and boys, You may feel storms within, .'. But winds will cease and clouds will break, And let the sunsh ne in. For in this world you'll have to walk By faith and not by sight, So keep the jaw of love in view - By walking in the right. There is nothing like the law of love
 Through all the strife and din; It helps to battle for the right
 And lets the sunshine in.
 Yours very affectionately, ''

 tended Call to Remain Another Year

 Davenport, Humphrey Street and
 Calvary Churches, Church of the Re.

 Churches.
 There were many Christmas services in the churches of the city yesterday, and in some instances the music of Christmas day was repeated and listen ed to and enjoyed by large congrega- tions. In several of the churchs there were no services on Christmas day and in consequence the musical programmes rendered were given for the first time.
 All of the music this year was of very high order, and many Christmas cantatas were sung by the quartettes and chorus choirs. In several of the churches both services were given over entirely to the rendition of musical pro- grammes and the sermons omitted while in others the regular services were con- dueted either morning or evening.
 At the First Methodist church there was special music by the quartette choir and Christmas sermons by the pastor, the Rev. Henry Baker. At a recent meeting of the official body of the church it was voted to extend the pastor call for another year. He has announced his acceptance of the call.
