1.-The Easter Message"
Beautiful Cantata Rendered
In Lutheran Church.

The rendition of the cantata, "The
Easter Message by the choir of the
Lutheran church was successful in every
way. A large audience was present and
enjoyed the efforts of the singers.
The music of the cantata is pleasing
and calls for solos Duets, full choruses,
etc., and individual choruses for both
men and women, and as such it was well
rendered. 1t treats of the triumphant
entry of Christ into Jerusalem, followed
by His death and passion and ends in the
thought of His resurrection and the final
victory.
The solo parts were taken by Mrs.
Eta Damuth Martin, Miss Hazel Wolfe,
and Messrs. Clarence Creeger and Paul
Beard. A Duet was sung by Mrs. Mar
tin and Miss Wolfe, and a quartette with
obligato solo by Mrs. Norman Fogle,
Miss Mamie Isanogle, Messrs. Grayson
Palmer and George Damuth
This is the second cantata given under
the auspices of the same persons, they
having rendered successfully similar
cantata year ago. Both cantatas were
given under the direction of Mrs. Eta
Martin and the resultant success speaks
well for her training and indefatigable
and intelligent efforts in behalf of the
same. Miss Maude Weller was the
efficient accompanist.
Such efforts as that of Sunday night
are to be highly commended for they are
not only enjoyed from musical stand
point but they emphasize the festival
seasons and take their places as educa-
tional forces.
1t is to be hoped that other musical
treats will be offered in the future by
this same aggregation of singers. In
addition to those mentioned the following
assisted in the singing: Mesdames v. B.
Osler, Charles Osler, Clarence Creeger,
Edgar Peddicord, Misses Bessie Martin,
Ethel Foreman, Grace Hauver, Violet
Flower, Irene Fogle, Messrs. Chambers
Creeger, Wilson Pryor, Lester Damuth.
