Special interest centered in the ser
vice Sunday evening because for the
first time the general public heard the
new pipe organ. Accordingly there
was a large audience some coming
from as far away as Kealia on one
side and Koloa on the other.
Naturally the place of honor was
given to the organ, with voluntary,
interludcs and postlude, in all of
which Mr.. ingalls, did ample justice
to hi sOwn fine art and to the tone
and quality of the organ. Mrs. ingalls,
rendered a violin solo with exquisite
skill, the AriosO of Handel
The choir, under the effective lead
ership of the new organ, rendered the
hymns with fine spirit and harmony.
Mr. Lydgate in the sermon empha-
sized the value and importance of
the musical side of the service and
outlined the possibilities of the organ
as an aid to worship.
The church was beautifully decora-
ted for the occasion, mainly in
gladiolas and Shasta daisies.
