AN ENJOYABLE CONCERT.

AN ENJO4 ABLE CONCEN1s
 The concert at the Methodist church, on Thursday evening, was greatly enjoyed and much praise is due to the fine quartet of Trinity Methodist church Of Bridgeport. Their selections were of the best and excel lently rendered, the quartet being harmony MT Ahrens, the tenor, has great range of voice and sang his so- los, "The Holy City" and ''The Song that reached my Heart," with sweet ness and fine effect. Mrs Gladden. Beers, the soprano, has very rich, pure tone and greatly pleased the whole audience, eliciting hearty ap- prlval whenever she sang. Mrs Ahrens, t 1e alto, filled her place well, but we were disappointed that she did not ap- pear in solo. Leslie Purdy, the bas- so, formerly of this place, has devel- 0ped deep rich voice full of music, which is so desirable in quartet. Be- sides MT Purdy's part in the entertain ment, we are greatly indebted to him for this musical treat, he having first suggested it and then accomplished the fine result. Bradshaw, who re- cited a nun Der of recitationS, has a most happy way in his work, holding Uuc duulcuCc III UuC OlOoOoo couChioiOA, making them feel that the stories he related were almost true incidents, at which the speaker was most prOfic- tent. Miss Ada Fields surprised even ner own friends in her recitation. which would have done credit to one much older. For the reason that the concert was but little advertised the number present was below what might have been expected, but those who were present can tell what the others missed. We hope to see these city friends here again when we can assure them full congregation. BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES. Procure copy of the helpful pamph. let, "Help to the Living" for only 1Oc of Rev II. A.
