Oh! that mine eyes might closed be
To what concerns me- no; TO see;
That deafness might possess mine ear
To what concerns me not TO hear;
That truth my tongue might always tie
From ever speaking foolishly;
That no vain thing might ever rest,
Or be conceived in my breast:
That by each deed and work and
thought
Glory may to my God be brought!
But what are wishes? Lord. mine eye
On thee is fixed, 10 thee l cry;
Wash. Lord, and purify my heart.
And make II clean in every part,
And when It's clean. Lord, keep It, too.
For that is more than can do.

THE BAND MINsTRELs. There is no ques-
tion but that majority of people enjoy a
minstrel show more than any other form of
musical entertainment, though many may not
be willing to admit it. Yet the old-time min
strels have passed away an d have no success
ors. The, occasional minstrel show of today
is something different-vaudevkle in fact
but right here in Belfast we have the vocal,
instrumental and dramatic talent capable of
giving minstrel show second to none on the
professional stage. The four Hammonds
brothers are host in themselves and another
generation of this family is demonstrating the
possession of musical talent and appeared in
the Belfast Band Minstrels at the Colonial
Theater last Monday and Tuesday evenings
The stage was boxed in with alternate stripes
of red. white and blue bunting, literally be-
spangled with stars, fitting background
for the Stars who occupied the front of
the stage and furnished two hours of de-
lightful entertainment. Only the four end
men were in blackface, the men in the
circle wearing white negligee shirts and white
trousers with red and white sashes The pro-
gram included choruses, solos, vocal and in
strumental, the minstrel quartet, a bnresque
an Mikado, and closed with the final rehearsal
of the Village Band on the eve of their first
public appearance. Mr. Arthur Johnson was
at his best in vocal solos, and was repeated
ly encored, and it may justly be called an all
star performance throughout. J. Lee Patter-
