Two hundred and fifty music low
ers and friends had the pleasure last
evening of enjoying one of the finest
musical programs that will be given
during the season. The program was
rendered at the Baptist church by
the pupils of Miss Marguerite Porter,
the occasion being the annual spring
recital given by the class.
The entire program as arranged
by Miss Porter, was artistic through
ont, extremely well rendered, and
reflected credit upon all who took
part, especially the young instructor
As the audience was assem- bling,
programs, each OF which bore the
Following beautiful quotation from
Lanier: Music means harmony, har-
mony means love, and love means
God
The program was in two parts, the
Junior class composing the first and
the senior vocal pupils the second
part. Perfect time and rhythm, and
beauty of technique marked the en-
xire program. With one exception
the numbers were all rendered with
ont notes, showing the excellent
training received

The juniors carried, while singing
their vocal numbers, dolls, not
E0r the effect but for the study in
rhythm, the latter, mastered fully,
being very essential for senior work.
The touch of the young performers
~as excellent and the style good.
For faithful practicing in the jun
Tor department Miss Porter annually
awards silver medal, but this year
she awarded two, for the work done
by Misses Sarah Rentz and Marie
Robertson was too near the same in
merit to discriminate. Mr.. H. NJ.
Hampton as customary presented the
medals and in doing so he paid a
beautiful tribute to the excellent
work being accomplished by Miss
Porter. Through her, he added, the
children of Oca1a are accorded the
privileges of the art of the famous
Mcdowell chorus of New York City.
Mr. Hampton concluded by saying
the work of Miss Porter speaks loud
.er through her pupils and not by
words.
In the second part special meptf6n
must be made of the remarkable
playing of Miss Mabel Aike4, whose
heavy number was rendered with
great credit. She possesses\a firm
znd bold touch and the requisites of
"a good musician.
All of the vocal selections were
charmingly rendered and for the
