SECOND BAPTIST
TOBE DEDICATED.
The Exercises VIII Take Place
on Sunday Next

On next Sunday the handsome
structure which the congregation of
the Second Baptist church have
erected on Chapel Hill street will be
formally dedicated to the worship of
God.
The dedicatory sermon will be
preached by Rev. w. C. Tyree, of
Oxford, who was formerly pastor OF
the First Baptist church here for
eleven years. Special music will be
rendered and 1t is expected that
large audience will be in attendance.
The first brick in the new struc-
ture was laid on July 4, 1905. Since
that time about $4,000 has been ex-
pended by the congregation in build
ing and furnishing the church. When
the building is dedicated it will be
entirely free from debt. The con-
gregation now numbers 525 with a
large and growing Sunday school,
Baraca class and other organizations.
The congregation was founded in
1883, more than 23 years ago. It
first started in dwelling house on
Duke street. which was then known
as Lee street.
For the completion of the new
structure and the phenomenal growth
of the congregation credit is largely
due to Rev. w. c. Barrett, the pastor.
Rev. Mr.. Barrett came to Durham six
years ago. He Immediately set about
the formation OF plans for the erec-
ton OF the new building. He has
labored night and day through sue
cess and failure and the church
which is to be dedicated Sunday Is
monument to his efforts.
Meeting This Evening.
There will be an important meet
ing OF the male members OF the con-
gregation this evening at O'Clock
in the church. Every man and boy
who is a member OF the church is
expected to be present and all men
who are interested in the work of the
church, whether members OF the
church or not, is requested to be
present. Business relatives to the
dedicatory exercises is to be trans
acted.

THE FESTIVAL
ASSOCIATION
Damrosch Is Certainly Coming
On The 18th Of April

The Durham Festival association is
able to announce positively that DAM
rosch and the New York symphony
orchestra will appear In Durham on
Wednesday evening, April 18th. The
music lovers of the city have sub
scribed for seats in such numbers as
to justify the association in bringing
this splendid organization to Durham.
1t is the hope Of the association that
there will not be vacant seat left
when the date arrives for the per-
Torrance. The seats are being re-
served rapidly and reservations are
made in the order In which subscrip-
tions are received.
If the public supports this first
undertaking music festival can be
brought to Durham every year.
The Program.
As maker of programs Mr.. DAM
rosch stands unequaled among the
men of his profession. Naturally good
conductors are born, not made; and
the man who can WELD his baton over
an orchestra in a manner which will
make his men do exactly what he
wants them to do is born conductor
This is but one branch, however, OF
the art OF giving symphony concerts
1t is necessary likewise. TO arrange a
program with the proper proportion OF
light and shade. If there is soloist
his or her portion of the program
must not overbalance the rest II q
number with an especially tragic sig.
nificance has been played gayer one
must follow 1t. II is in matters Of
this kind that Mr.. Damrosch is pas
master.
Mr.. Arthur Middleton, who will ap,
pear with Mr.. Walter Damrosch and
the New York Symphony orchestra az
one Of the soloists, is unquestionabl,
the foremost basso OF America. III,
is well known from coast TO coast
having appeared in all the importanr
Icities in oratorio. concert or recital
as we'll as with many of the leadin,
orchestras. OF his voice much can b,
said in praise. II is rich, vibrant ant
sonorous and Of great compass. Their,
is in II sensuous charm. He is par
ticularly pleasing in his low notes
singing with great ease and clearness
His dramatic ability is of high ordel
and he has the physique and per
sonality which form so complete ;
whole.
