The musical exercises always form an
attractive and very important part OF
the Tabernacle services. The choir and
the organ have become world famous
Yesterdays exercises were. II anything
more than usually attractive. The Sc
lections were especially appropriate for

with great effect In fact, the singers.
no less than the speakers, held the
large audience spell bound
In the anthem. Grant Us Peace o
Lord" by Professor Evan stephens,
the following lines occur:
Long may the valleys smile with wav-
ing corn.
LonR may holy Temples raise their
towers 70 heaven.
From the hills may the crystal stream
let's wind along
Whers now'rs with their perfume scent
the balny mountain air
Let no warning discord-no sound OF
strife and anger
BE ever heard to mingle with natures
tuneful iays.
Until. TO Thy glory earth becomes as
heaven.
Filled with Thy praise. and crowned
with Thy peace
These lines we're sung by Mrs. Wood
and Mr. Moncar and the duet was in
deed beautiful and peaceful in It's
sweetness. The soprano solo ny Mrs
Emily sitter was another beautiful
musical feature.
