DRESDEN POWER
PLANT USING WOOD

Because both of the scarcity and
extraordinary high price Of coal,
the Dresden power plant is using
wood for heating purposes, and it is
found that the wood is some cheap
er than coal.
Coal has not only been extereme-
ly hard to get, but high priced.
Three years ago coal was bought
fer $1.8O per ton. Today the price
is $5.15. The latter figure was paid
for a carload received at the Dres-
den power plant few days ago. 1t
would seem the coal barons have us
in their grasp. But there is solu-
ton to the problem. There is
enough wood in the vicinity Of
Dresden to last this town % or SO
years, if it were only cut and burned.

the organization is to individual far

that the county councils take the
lead in the movement for better
farming, better homes and better
living conditions, promote bread
contests, health campaigns and fos-
ter all movements to improve rural
conveniences. She suggested that

equally divided between men and

AN APPRECIATION OF
PASTOR C. C. McDEARMON

count myself happy to know this
aged soldier of the cross. His life
is benediction. For Sc years he
has lived en- the earth, and the in
habitants of the earth are better
for his having lived. At the close
of the civil war, fresh from the con-
flict as a Confederate soldier, he
began his life as minister of Jesus
Christ. Two or three years later he
became pastor of the New Hope
Baptist church in Weakley county,
Tenn. For SO years he has been
their pastor, with only two breaks
One time for one year and anOth-
er time for three years. Thus it is
seen that he has given 40 years Of
actual service to this one church. ]
wonder if there is another such ex-
ample in the bounds of the Southern
Baptist Convention? And during
these four years, when he was not
their pastor, he held their annual
.revivals. During this So years they
have worshiped in three different
meeting houses-each time building
a bigger and better one. Not only
has the meeting house grown, but
the membership has grown, till
now this country church has about
200 in membership-and the end is
not yet. They have demonstrated
that long pastorates are success
Pastor McDearmon has grown
feeble in body, but is still active In
preaching and working among his
people, of whom he says no better
live. They love him as a father
and still large congregations as
semble to hear him break the bread
of life to them as he has done to
their parents, grand parents and
preat-grand parents. For four
generations he has thus ministered
unto them and has grown IN their
affections with the passing years.
Two years ago Pastor McDear-
mon offered to retire because OF his
extreme age and his increasing fee
bleness, but the church would not
hear to this at all. Instead, they
elected him pastor for life and
agreed to pay his salary whether ne
was able to come to his appoint
ment or not. They did the noble
thing, which showed their apprecla7
ton for his So years of self-sacrifice
for them. 1t warmed his heart as
few other things could do. Bro.
McDearmon expressed a desire to
be buried there when God calls him
home and so they selected a place
near the center of the church bury
ing ground where they shall lay his
body to rest; and l heord it hlnted
that they intended erecting a monu-
ment to his memory just little
higher than any other there. For
the last two years they have had an
associate pastor for one Sunday
in the month. He is to take the
the heavy burdens off the shoulders
of Pastor McDearmon.
Besides, New Hope, Pastor NC
Dearmon has been pastor OF seVeral
other churches in the Weakley
County Association. He organized
eight of those that make up the AS
ISOLATION.
He has been an active, cOnsecrat-
ed. evangelistic pastor, with a.
sympathetic, compassionate heart
that has won him multitude OF
friends. His life has been a bless
ing. He will be missed when he
goes. It has been my privilege late
ly to be with him in a revival and
know him intimately.

CHORAL SOCIETY GIVES
'CHILDREN'S CRUSADE
Excellent Presentation oI
Pierne's Composition for the
First Time Here

The Philadelphia Choral Society,
under the direction of Henry Gordon
Thunder gave the first local rendition
of Gabriel Pierne's Children's Crusade, "
at the Academy Of Music last night.
Besides the chorus of,thc society, there
was supplemental chorus of about 300
children's voices from the Daniel Pas
torius School OF Germantown, admir-
ably trained by Leroy Lindsay, a
chorus of forty girls from the Girls
High School and members of the Phil
adelphia Orchestra made up the ac-
companying body.
The performance of the work was ex-
cellent throughout, although there were
occasional places where slight devia
tions from time on the part of the
chorus seemed to indicate an insufficient
number of rehearsals with the orchestra.

dition Of choral concerts. The chorus
was well trained. had good tone quality
and was readily amenable to the beat
Of the conductor. The solists we're
Elizabeth +. Earle. Helen Buchanan
Hitner, Helen Frame Heaton, Nicholas
Douty and John Van der Sloot, all of
whom sang with good quality Of tone
intelligence and sympathy with the
work. The semi-solo parts of the angel
voices were taken adequately by Jane
Edel. Alice NJ. Rhoads, Elizabeth Bast
and Edna Cook Smith.
But it was in the children's chorus
that the surprise of the evening came.
The music is difficult for trained singers
to render, being full of hard intervals
and not melodic in diatonic sense.
if in any Mt all. The children's chorus
sang with a sureness Of tone and phras-
ing which was little short of astound-
ing, when it is considered that the music
was necessarily far over their heads,
temperamentally and intellectually.
After the second part had been sung,
Mr.. Thunder paid high and well de.
served compliment to Mr.. Lindsay aad
asked him to rise. both audience and
chorus applauding him. He was assisted
in this work by Forrest II. Newmeycr,

Frances d. Cope and Edna f. Stein
metz.
Musically, the composition is neither
highly original nor inspired. It has no
diatonic melodies, the very basis Of the
best choral work, and is therefore diff e
cult both to sing and to make effective.
In spite of the tragic nature Of the
story, there is little music Of dramatic
character in the work, which, on "ac-
count of being for long spaces of the
same character, had more than a sug E
gestion of monotony in more places than
one. The involved, complex style of
the modern French school is not well
adapted to the musical delineation of so
simple a story Ias that set forth in the
argument.
At the same time there are spots of
great beauty, with some originality in
the orcbestration. The finest place In
the work is the unaccompanied female
chorus in the last part (which was
finely sung) and the concluding chorus.
Mr.. Thunder made all that was posi- =
BILE out Of the legend and both he and
the Choral Society are to be congratu-
lated for the enterprise shown in giving
this important work.
