The entertainment at the Opera
House Friday evening, given under
he auspices of he Home Mission
Society First NJ. E. Church. was one
Of The very best amateur performances
ever given in Okolona, and we have
had large number in the past L is
really wonderful to see what can be
accomplished with children in such a
short time, for they had only eight re-
hearsals. Il goes to prove what talent
we have among our children. and
Okolona should feel proud to claim
them as her own. even il they were
supposed to have come from foreign
countries.
A program Of interesting selections
came before The cantata-sll ex-
ceptiOnally good.
Josephine and Marjorie Gates, Of
Memphis. Tenn. appeared in a char.
ac,er song that brought tremendous
applause.

very good, indeed, in a duet.

as cute and cunning as could be. The
audience called them back time and
again and would gladly have listened
I
to them for some time longer.
The cantata represented a banquet
given by the Americans to foreign
guests. A sextete Of our most at
tractive young bellies took the parts Of
the six American entertainers and
proved most graceful and cordial
hostesses. They introduced the guests
to the audience in couples and con-
Quoted the performance generally
Lack Of space forbids our giving the
names Of all children in the cantata
but each one carried out his or hel

to the height Of such meditation E
this:
Ten thousand times ten thousand
In sparkling raiment bright,
The armies of the ransomed saints
Throng up the sleeps of light;
IT'S finished, all is finished,
Their fight with death and sin.
Fling open wide the golden gates,
And let the victors in.
What rush of hallelujas
Fills all the earth and sky!
That ringing of a thousand harps
BespeakS the triumph might
o day. for which creation
And all its tribes were made,
o joy. for all its former woes
A thousand fold repaid.
20 then what raptures greetings
On Canaan's happy shore;
What knitting severed friendships up,
Where partings are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle,
That brimmed with tears of late,
Orphans no longer fatherless,
Nor widows desolate.''
