Baptist Young Peoples Chorus to Be Heard
In Concert This Evening.

The 3. Y. p. L. chorus of Rhode Island
was the outgrowth OF the chorus which
furnished such acceptable music for the
National Il. Y. p. u. convention. which
was held in Infantry hall and the First
Baptist meeting house last July. This
chorus was composed mainly of young
people from the Baptist churches OF
Providence and vicinity and was drilled
for the convention work by Rev. F. Q.
Cunningham OF Woonsocket
The chorus was recruited by a commit
tee whose chairman was Rev VI. ID.
Fuller of East Greenwich. The general
appreciation OF the work OF the chorus on
the part of leading Baptists Of this city,
as we'll as on the part OF visitors from
abroad, suggested the desra bility OF hold
ing the chorus together for more per-
manent work.
Accordingly the chorus voted 10 or
ganize, and at a social held one week
after the convention elected Mr.. Fuller
as president and Mr.. Cunningham as mu-
sical director. During the past six
months the chorus has been preparing for
the concert which is TO be given In In
fantry hall tomorrow. II has met in
the Stewart street church and the interest
and attendance have been well main
tanned
Mr. Cunningham who Is a busy pastor
in Woonsocket, has given careful atten-
taon 10 the work OF the chorus and the
result of his efforts will be heard with
interest by the music-loving people OF
this vicinity.
No voice test has been required. and
all who have been interested TO join have
been welcome The efficiency OF the
chorus Is therefore all the more credit
able. For this concert the chorus has
called to its assistance Miss Lucy Anne
Allen. soprano soloist, and Clarke's Provi-
dence orchestra A quartet OF local So
loists will also assist.
The total membership II 493 and over
