The Orchestral Concert given
by Miss Wren Pearson Friday
night was the first ever attempted
by the young lady. She was,
therefore, greatly pleased that so
large and appreciative audience at
tended. Both music and arrange
ments were especially good. The
orchestra is composed of ten of the
young ladies who in their white
dresses made most charming
picture. Miss Pearson's selections,
"Fautaisie" by De Beriot and
"Mazurka deConcert," by Musin are
both brilliant while "Footsteps of
Angels" is an entirely different
style. The public gave preference
to the Mazurka. AS an encore
"Dixie" was played. This met
with the applause worthy the grand
old tune and the fair performer.
The violin quartette by Misses
Pearson, Ussery, Payne and M. A.
Pearson and the duet by Misses
Pearson were justly popular. Much
beauty was added to the music by
the artistic touch of the accompanist
Mrs. Laura Phillips Cole. One of
the best features of the evening was
"Home Sweet Home" played by
the orchestra as a finale.

Moral Progress,
BY MRS. GOODWIN.

The moral uplift in the world is greater today than ever before. Science, which IS true knowledge, is ethical and is grad ually pushing superstition. which is non- ethical from its stronghold in religious beliefs.
 In most of the churches of today, char acter stands for more than creed, and we find as never before in the worlds hls- tory. that love and service are valued more than ritual and dogma. There is in- deed a great unrest manifested in all or ganizations of men. an upheaval of thought and things; but the moral idea the relation of man to man-is para mount. In this progress toward the goal of right living much impetus has been given by the concerted efforts of women.
 Denied a voice in public affairs, they have nevertheless been heard through the press, through literature in many of our foremost educational institutions justice. Against struggle and obstacle and much prejudice. has been placed an indomitable pluck and determination, a clear intelligence; sometimes a passionate denunciation of wrong. but often the su- preme patience of love that can wait.
 In the last quarter of a century many They have felt the need of, and have seen the possibilities of help from an association, not merely according to so- cial forms. with other women.
