CHURCH MUSIC
Baptists Arrange f)r Service

It's" church, will be held a Victrola
service. The instrument, n of tn @
best, is furnishei through the court
esy of Steger & Sons, and there will
be present an experienced operator.
The music has been carefully select
ed by the pastor, Rev. William H..
Bawden. Except for the singing of
the congregational hymns, the organ
list and choir will give place to the
modern instrument. which will re-
produce some of the finest music,
both instrumental and vocal.
After Sousa's Band has rendered
Paderewski's Ninuet, and the Neap-
olitan Trio, with violin. flute and
harp, Matters Dear Heart, the first
SONG will be one of a warm friend of
the church, the Lyric Quartet sing
ing Fanny Crosby's "Safe in the
Arms of Jesus" Herbert Wither-
spoon will then sing the Lost Chord.

ment by Sousa's Band, viii render

Jude.
Not unmindful of the occasion,
Mr.. Bawden has chosen for his SER
mon the theme: THE Man Who
Had no Fear" What is fear? How
may it be distinguished from mere
bravado? What produces a spirit
that knows no fear in a man? what
men in history have been particular
" noted because of their lack OF
fear? What evidence is there as to
whether or not Washington or LIN
coin were men who had no fear? Is
there anything to fear today? Are
brave men, men who know no ear,
needed in the present age?
The service Will commence
promptly at 1880, by which time the
congregation is requested to be in
their seats, so far as possible, that
the service may proceed with me
least interruption, All are invited

sisted of an old waist, a skirt, under
wear, stockings and a pair of house
