and IL is time for general rejoicing

population Of the city gathered, ant
they were amply rewarded by the
varied program, which had been ar
ranged by Miss Amelia Schulman, as
sisted by Miss Rosa Levy and Miss
Celestine Hirsher.
The tableaux given were among
the most beautiful ever presented
here, consisting Of living pictures
from the Bible
The programme was opened by a
prayer, made in a clean and distinct
tone by Master Bertram Danheisser,
followed by the readers, Leopold
Heinberg and Sidney Danheisser. The
music and chants by the Sunday
school consisted of the same music
: that was used long ago.

. tinctly and well did. they recite their
verses. A prologue was read by Sid
ney Dannheisser and an epilogue by

well. He was perfectly accompanied

stage, were parted, showing pictures
which looked as If they had stepped
from the canvas OF some rare old
master.

are notably beautiful of face and
form, and those of Pensacola are no
exceptions TO the rule

draperies.

the left. She was dressed in white
and wore upon her, head a silver
