The House was Packed Sunday Even
ing to Hear. Rev. Jones and the
Excellent Musical Program.
The attendance at the fifth service
in the series of services conducted by
the rector of the Episcopal church was
unusually large; the Atheneum was
crowded to the doors, even the gallery
was well filled, and all who attended
this service admitted that it was most
inspiring and helpful. The Mandan
orchestra acquitted itself with great
merit in rendering the Gloria from
Haydn's Mass in B fiat and the
Priests March by. Mozart and in lead
ing the congregational singing. Miss
Messersmith rendered her number in
her usual charming manner, and Mr..
George T. Humphreys, the favorite
baritone of Bismarck, was at his best.
The congregation did their part in
responding in the service and in sing
ing in the hymns. Archdeacon Jones,
after announcing the illustrated
lecture to be given by the pastor of
the Presbyterian church on Tuesday
evening next introduced to the con-
gregations Rev. Mr.. Edgar Jones,
whom he said would address them for
about ten minutes and when Mr.. Jones
finished addressing the congregation
on "The Fatherhood of Cod and the
congregation singing a hymn, Arch
reacon Jones addressed the people and
said that it was his intention to
preach to them on "One of the Instru-
ments of the Passion" but inasmuch,
he said, that your thoughts are at
present pretty well centered on the
f;atherhood of God, will not detract
your attention from that great
thought, but will continue the subject
which my friend has introduced to
you which he did to the satisfaction of
his hearers. ALI who were privileged
to be present at this service felt that
they had been uplifted by the music
and the addresses, and all left high
in praise of the services it was their
privilege to attend, and expressed a
desire that the Archdeacon might con
tinue these services.
