 Selma. Dec. 2a.
 Some of the grandest music ever heard in Selma was rendered at the 10 o'clock service of the Catholic Church this morning by the members of the Howard Kyle Choral Ciuo.
 The voices of the members or the club were in fine form and each soio and duet rendered reflected great credit upon that organization of young men of the city. The congregation at the service was large and appreeiative and the eloquent and impressive ser mon that was delivered by the Rev. Father Madden, on this day. the anni- versary of the birth of the Christ, Was most well received and the congre- gation was a most attentive one.
 While the music of the service was probably the finest that has ever been rendered In any church in the city IL in no manner detracted from the elo- ouence of the sermon that was deliv- cred and which did every one good that heard 1t. The regular members of the choir of the church, Mrs. J. E. Jacobs, Mrs. E. T. Walters, D. F. ORourke and Charles Hull also took part in the musical program arranged for the occasion and rendered most sweet and appropriate music.
 The members of the Howard Kyle Choral Club acquitted themselves with great credit and the musical program that was rendered by them was great ly appreciated by the large congrega7 ton. The solos and duets that were sung were among the finest that have ever been heard in this city and the teaching and drilling that each mem Der has received reflects great honor upon Prof. Joseph R. Groves. the or ganizer of the club.
 The first duet by Messrs. Dan Brislin and S. H. Watts was nicely rendered. The two voices harmonized and the duet was one of the most de- lightfuI numbers on the program. The solo by Charles Brislin was also well received by the congregation, but un- doubtedly the sweetest solo of tho service was that rendered by w. w. Lapslcy. Mir. Lapsley Is the possess sor of one of the sweetest tenor voices in the South and the number that he rendered this morning gave him ample scope. While he has sang in public mana times before his excellent voice was never clearer or heard to a better advantage than 1t was this s'ning and the congregation sat in rapt atten- ton while he was singing.
 The solos of Messrs. Charles Hull and Dewitt Callen were also excellent and showed that each one of these young men were the possessors of excellent voices The quartette composed of Messrs. Will Brunson, Will Mckee, De- Witt Callen and Joseph Rosser also rendered a delightful number. The voices of this quartette blended to- gether most harmoniously and the number that they rendered was most appropriate to the occasion.
 All of those who attended the ser- vice at the Catholic Church this morn ing were loud in their praise of the excellent music that was rendered by the members of the Howard Kyle Cho- ral Club. The club Is composed of young men who possess the best voic- ] es in the city and during the course of It's organization will afford the cit iZens of the city the opportunity of hearing some excellent music. WitEi:. short while the club will give a concert In which all of the members will have a chance to participate. On account of smallness of the space in the choir this morning only a limited number of the memsrs could take part In the musical program.
