CLUB OBSERVES
LINCOLN DAY

About $50 gathered at the parlors of
The church TO listen 10 the Lincoln
program prepared by the Fellowship
club. The program was well prepared
and as we'll received, holding the
attention of the audience until the
close. The hour bet Eeen seven and
eight was devoted to an informal
musical, the Misses Gull McGiFr, Lucy
Morley, Ethel Newell, Gwendolyn
Edwards and Mabel Schenk rendering
instrumental music. Miss Olive
White favored the audience with q
charming vocal solo, Miss Kuhns
playing the accompaniment. At s
O'Clock Supt. A. &. Kingsford opened
the program with an address on
Abraham Lincoln as a politician, a
side not often presented but ably
handled by Mr.. Kingsford, in which
he showed Mr.. Lincoln prominent
not only as story teller and states
man but also as politician. This
was followed by song by a male
chorus led by Henry Koppke. That
the music was of high order was
proven by the number of encores to
which they were compelled to reply.
Rev. E. P, Hall gave an interesting
talk on Mr.. Lincoln which, presented
in his usual able manner, was at the
same time amusing and instructive.
After this four old soldiers, Messrs.
ROUNDS, Palmer, Blanchet and
Paddock, briefly told their personal
impressions of Mr.. Lincoln, Mr..
Blanchet having seen him in private
life before he gained national fame.
This was followed by music by the
male chorus and the evening was
closed by few choice stories and
anecdotes of Mr.. LincoIn's, selected
and read by Ed. Battles.

to suppress the darker version of the

had always been kind to her, and she
regretted him faithfully, less consoled

have been by the discovery that she
