KNIGHT TEMPLARS
AT FORT MADISON
Members from Three Cities Were in
Attendance at Special Easter
Services on Sunday.

The Fort Madison Gem City says
Of the Easter services of the Knights
Templar in that city:
The annual Easter service OF the
Knights Templar of the cities of
Keokuk, Carthage and Fort Madison.
held at this city Sunday afternoon
was attended by about 125 members
of the order. The services at St.
Luke's church, with DR.. e. II. Rudd
officiating, were very impressive.
The knights made the trip to this
city for the most part in automo-
biles, the splendid day and condi-
ton of the roads inducing this mode
of travel. Many OF the wives and
families accompanied the parties.
1t was regretted that but few of
the knights Templar from Carthage
were in attendance. The condition
of the roads through Hancock county
were bad and travel in autom obiles
was impossible. Had the roads been
passable at least forty members
would have come to this city
The procession Of the members OF
the order formed at 400 o'clock in
front of the hall at Second and Mar
ket streets. The procession stretched
out for a block and half and the
men walking "close up In their
splendid uniforms and with the white
plumed hats surmounting the garb,
created an impressive scene. Fred
C.. Chambers of the local conmandry
led the line Of march.
The church was beautifully deco
rated for the event. Special music
was also a feature Of the services.
Following the services the knights
marched back to the Masonic hall
where they partook of the splendid
luncheon prepared and served by the
ladies of the Order of Eastern Star
The menu of the luncheon was as
! follows:
! Beef Loaf Esca1loped Potatoes
Peas Celery Pickles
/ Hot Rolls Butter
| Brick Ice Cream Waters
! Coffee Cigars

discussed, the literature department

One of the best musical treats that
Warsaw ever enjoyed was the can
tata of 1.-THE First Easter" given by
the regular choir of the Presbyterian
church Sunday evening; there were
about twenty-five singers in the choir,
led by Miss Grace Edwards, and as
sisted by Rev. Aldertou, a fine basso
lof Canton, Mo-, with Miss Ethel
Brinkmann at the pipe organ. There
were solos by Miss Grace Edwards,
Miss Mary Baird, Miss Laura Fry and
Alderton; the rendition Of this can
tata consumed nearly two hours, and
reflected great credit on the leader,
Miss Grace Edwards, who trained
the singers for this event; the time
was most excellent and the voices
showed culture. The tax on the
orga1ist, Miss Brfnkmann. was great,
and to her was largely due the smooth
moving OF the different changes In
the music. The Presbyterian church
may well be proud of dts choir. The
floral decorations of choir rail, pulpit
and organ were beautiful; the church
was filled to dts capacity, 400. the
audience delighted. Miss Edwards,
who is the leader of the choir, is the
poss essor Of a charming soprano
voice and has had much training. She
has been Instructor of voice culture

The Easter music In Warsaw
church choirs Sunday, demonstrated
the fact beyond all doubt that our
little town is far ahead of most towns
OF her size, in musical talent, especial
ly vocal. though the male voices are
lamentably in the minority, largely,
it is thought, because the men have
not the confidence in their ability
that they should have. AS has been
noted in these columns before. War
saw Eas enough musical talent to
FORM large philharmonic society OF
high quality, which with our fine
orchestra, ought to grow into one OF
the best organizations OF its kind in
the state and be the means Of adj
vertising our town both far and wide.
Hardly a church choir can be named
here but what has musical talent of
high quality in it. notably St. Paul's
Episcopal, Presbyterian Evangelical,
and Lutheran. To form such phil
harmonic society, it is essential that
its members love music and are will
ing to make sacrifices for 1t and will
put their whole soul into it. Let
music be the platform upon which all
the members meet. regardless OF
friendship, social distinction, prefer
ences, etc, uniting to make a sue
cess of the organization, and Warsaw
will be known in short time from
here to the boundaries of the state
and beyond, and best of all, great
good will result not only to the MEM
bers Of the organization but to the
town itself; it will prove a great
moral uplift and put Warsaw on a
higher plane. Let US think on these
things" and then act.
