rotary of the West Virginia Sun
day School Association, which
will hold its Thirty Fifth Annual
convention in Parkersburg May

for the great gathering of Sun

ceedingly successful and in do
ing so he has attempted to en-
phasize the music as one of the
strong features Of the convention
That he has succeeded in secur-
ing some of the best attractions
possible in this connection i 5
shown in the fact that he has en-
gagged DIR. Adam Geibel and Prof.

charge of the music throughout
the convention.
These two men of wide reputa-
ton will appear in West Virginia
for the first time, and will intro
duce a feature during the con-
vention that has never before
been witnessed in the state. DR..
Geibel, who is a well-known
hymn writer and has composed a
anumber of popular secular pieces

ond night of the convention will
compose a hymn impromptu in
the presence of audience.
He will explain the principles
involved in the composition of
music, and then will ask some
person in the audience to name
words of a common and well
known church hymn. He will
then proceed to write new music
to fit the OLD words. He dictates
while Prof. Hall writes, debating
soprano, alto and so on until the
end of the verse and does the
same as ito the base and tenor.
Immediately upon completion of
the dictation Prof. Hall goes to
the piano and plays the music
through, after which DR.. Geibel
sings it and teaches it to the con-
vention.
Another great musical feature
of the convention will be the
Institute Glee Club of the West

pected to be one of the most en-
joyable features on the entire
