The accompanying picture was re-
lain choir, photographed on the front
steps of the Green Street Methodist
church Immediately following the big
Sunday School rally which was held
there last Sunday. The picture Is not
a complete one, as many of the chorus
were unable to be present at this SER
vice. They have been doing great work
in making the revival services brighter
and more interesting, under the di-
rection Of Leader Harry Chamberlain,
and one of the chief reasons for the
strength and loyalty Of this choir is
the splendid manner in which it was
organized. secretary was appointed
from each of the three churches repre-
sented in the revival movement, and a
general secretary in charge of ALL Mrs.
Lottie M: Reed acting in this capacity,
with Mrs. Ola Roule, Of the First Bap-
fist; Miss Myrtle Rhude, Methodist;
Miss Mildred Mosher, Penney Memoir
ial as secretaries. Much credit is due
these ladies for their work in behalf OF
the choir. The entire chorus is to be
rendered banquet on Saturday even
ing In the vestry Of the Penney Memoir
1al Church, at which Rev. e. S. Phil
brook will be master of ceremonies.
Speeches are to be made by Messrs.
Taylcr Chamberlain, Layton and
Mosher, and the supper will be served
promptly at P. NJ, so that members
who have to work will find it conven-
lent to come. A general good time
is expected.
