NEW ORGAN PLAYED
AT THE COURT STREET METHO-
 DIST CHURCH. T
sfagnlffeent InstrunseBt Built By .women of Church is Heard For First Ttme Thursday Night
 by Audience Which Tax
 ed Large Auditorsuna. --r

Swelling from faint stfains to tremendous bursts of harghopy; touch. ing every range of music, every tone and every vo1nme; stimulating notes of any instrument and voice, and or any sound of nature, the new organ of the Court Street Methodist Church made it's bow to the congregation, through the masterful interpretation of Professor Rienzi Thomas, Thursday nigI2t.
 The evening marked the formal opening of the new organ, which had been installed as a labor of love, by the women of the church, at the cost of 0O00. The organ. which stands as Sthe finished task of a full hundred workmen. Installed by skilled mechanicians. fills the entire end of the big auditorium. Its rows of pipes stretch almost across the building. and in their heights; touch the ceiling above. Altogether 1t Is such an in strument the like of which is probably In no other church of the South, cer- tainly within Alabama.1Cs. 4 -s So. much for..t the -appearance.V As for it's power there is an indescribable quality. Throughout the varied selections that made up the recital of Thursday night there was borne upon thss audience new enormous volumes anu SWS1Ib OI S0uIlus ltOW LAC 6OAt~ est tones known to music. The pipes of the organ cover every tone and every range; by their %complexity 1t is possible, as was done at the re- citaI,. to introduce into the melody the sound of distant chimes, changing in harmony to the music; at times it is possible to distinguish a, sound within a sound, a secondary strain that is marvellous. and then again. a sustain -z H. h- = melody swells and dies and dances above it. Altogether, from the ex- hibition furnished the audience in the church Street auditorium Thursday night. there seems no limit to the scope of the enormous organ.
 The. performance of Thursday even ing consisted entirely in the rendi- ton of various classic selections by Professor Tn omas, selections that throbbed and beat with life, as the talent of the performer was combined with the marvellous power and range of the instrument.
 The program as followed last night was:
