was favored with moSI pfactica'' "oiPiui
sermon. and also by most pleasing solo
rendered by MIR. George Minot Frye, second
son of Mr.. G. ". Frye of Sctuate, Mass,
who formerly resided here. MIR. Frye has
rich, melodious voice OF the lower
register and we are hoping he will kindly
assist us again next Sunday. Besides the
solo he sang with the choir, and having the
latter added greatly to the pleasure OF the
service The benefit OF the recent tuning
and repairing of the organ spoke for ITSELF
in the improved tones and increased power.
The accompaniment to the solo, played by
Mrs. Gertrude Lancaster, was unusually
fine. We were more than fortunate to have
the work done so satisfactorily. and doubly
so to have raised sufficient funds to more
than cover the expense of doing it.
