ternoon after an intermission for a
single week. The program is being
prepared for next Sunday afternoon

of talent for q program Of exceptional
merit. One of the unusual features
of the program will be n special cor
net solo.
AS usual the general public is in
vited to come to the Elihu Burritt
school auditorium at $50 to take part

throughout each Of the two factories
have been posted with announce
ments of next Sundays song service
and the attendance will doubtless in
clude most of the employees OF these
