Third Church items

On July 2I the Hampton Jubilee
quartet appeared at the Third Bap-
tist church and were very favorably
received by the large number of
music lovers who came to hear
them. If any doubted the ability
of these singers. they certainly
missed conversion by not coming.
Their singing is remarkably sweet
and touching. Miss L. Toombs
and Mrs Virginia Moore Hughes
lent splendid color to the concert by
interspersing vocal and violin solos.
Prof. Geo w. Cook of Howard
university will speak at the Third
church on Sunday, August I. IF
you desire to hear a man who has
done much to advance the race in
all intellectual and moral sense,
then remember that Prof. Cook is
just such person. and will speak
at morning service. Visitors from
the women's federation will also he
present, and special music will be
rendered by some of these visitors.
Rev. Newman will occupy the pull
pit in the evening. and will speak
