AUDIENCE WAS CHARMED
Baptist Church Filled With Melody
The Musical Evening a Grand Sue
cess-Etc., Etc.

The great audience which brared the
Indictment weather and filled the large
auditorium and gallery of the Baptist
church Monday night was amply repaid
by the splendid musical program
rendered
With songs of lofty sentiment, OF
tender pathos and great spiritual power
the people were thrilled and delighted
The solo organ numbers by Mrs. Mary
Quinn Hicks we're given faultlessly ano
were heartily enjoyed and thorough
w appreciated, and in her accompanl-
ments she showed the real sympathetic
artist. The writer has never heard
more exquisite bit of organ playing than
the accompaniment to the great con-
tralto song, "The Day is Done, by
Balfe.
TO MIR. Joseph F. White is due the
excellent training of the Scottish Rite
Mixed Quartette, whether singing to the
hearts of all the people or to the heads
of the cultivated few, they leave moth
ing to be desired.
Who could ever forget the glorious
climax in "Jesus, Lover Of My Soul, "
by Williams, or the beauty and dignity
of Dudley Bucks Festival TIE Deum!
1t would be hard to find more pleas
ing singer than Miss lsaacs. her
well cultivated, melodious voice shows
to exceptional advantage In sacred
music, as she is gifted with that arg
nifty and repose which go 50 iar 10 MAKE
sacred music attractive.
Mr.. Watkins is always satisfactory
and he appeals particularly TO tnose
who love correct, smoot, pollsheu sing
ing. Nothing is more offensive to the
real music lover than careless, lndiiier-
ent handling of the words, and Mr..
Watkins is a polished singer.
MIR. White has sung his way into the
hearts of people all over Virginia and
he will always be cordially welcomed
and afFectionately remembered in Fred.
ericksburg. He has the real spirit OF
unselfsh service and uses his beautiful
voice freely and unselfshly to the de-
light and inspiration of his many
friends.
In speaking of Mrs. Mcneil one wants
to tread softly, walk gently, and IN
cover the head. With a voice Oh won,
derful power, of appealing pathos, and
infinite tenderness, she thrills the soul
and grips the heart strings, until you
wonder lust what such a voice VIII
be when translated to the celestial
choir above.
One of the most attractive numbers
on the program was Abbott's trio.
Hear Us, Father" beautifully rem,
dered by Messrs. Watkins, Phillips and
White.
The Virginia Masonic Quartette, com
posed of Wessrs. Watkins, Jones, Phil
| lips and White, delighted the audience
with three beautiful numbers, and
added much to the enjoyment OF the
occasion. One of the numbers was
composition Of Mr.. w. j. Phillips, a
member of the Quartette and director
of the Fredericksburg Baptist Choir.
To Mr.. Phillips is due much OF the
success of the evening, as it was mainly
through his efforts that the services OF
these artists we're secured.
After the regular program was COM
pleted, Mrs. Mcneil sang several num-
bers. closing with Nearer My God to
Thee" TO the exquisite melody Of Last
Rose of Summer, " which rested like
benediction upon the hearts OF those
who remained.
