Choir-Halleluiah Chorus Fine
One of the largest and most inspir-
ing congregations which has yet gath
cred to hear the program of sacred
music, completely filled the seating
capacity of Asbury NJ. E. Church
Sunday evening when nearly 1000
people enjoyed to the fullest the ser.
vice of sscred music. Automobiles
were lined on both sides of the street
for two squares. Visitors were here
from Middletown. Dover. Cheswold.
kenton, Millington, Townsend and
surrounding country. These concerts
which were started several months ago
and are given the last Sunday in each
month, are proving exceedingly popu-
lar, and rightly so, for few amateur
church choirs handle the grade and
character of music that is arranged
monthly by the organist, Mrs. Marion
CoVerdale. and directed by Choristere.
Walter o. Hoffecker. The program
Sunday night was probably the best
OF the course. The anthem, quartette.
trio, duet and double trio work was
CT q fine order. the male quartette
being exceptionally fine. To add to
the program Mr.. Ernest Haynes of
Wilmington, a son of Mrs. I. H.
Haynes Of this town, favored the con
gregation with a bass solo. entitled
MY God, My Father" that took
well. Then to clap the climax the
choir rendered the Hallelujah Chorus
from The Messiah. (HandeD. and
this splendid production alone repaid
the large congregation for turning
out. Pastor Williams gave a hymn
talk that was fine sermon unto itself
and Mrs. L. NJ. Price gave another
fine hymn talk. 1t was a splendid
and inspiring program. Following
was the order:
