heard far out in the town. You Win
the One Next to You" was a prime IA

by Rev. James call TO the men of the
audience to whistle the chorus. The
swelling trills blended in a harmony
both unique and beautiful.
Following this, Rev. James announc-
ed he would introduce a real whis-
ler' and called Harry Box to the plat
form.
The congregation sat GREATNESS as
Mr.. Box, with a skill that was a sur
prise to many, gave a mastery exhi-
bition which was enthusiastically en-
cored. DR.. Bulgin called upon the
whistler for Listen TO the Mocking
Bird and again the audience, includ-
ing small children, sat entranced by
a series of bird calls that was a veri-
table reproduction Of the actual song
of the hooking bird Many of the
boys amused themselves by picking
out the different imitations-"That's
a whip-poor-will," There's a brown
thrasher," following the changes to
jay, black bird, or quail as unerringly
as If the birds themselves were in
the building.
Bulgin Gets Ovation.

service, and all proceedings were drop

as it arose.
Taking Immortality" as his subject
his sermon with the feast OF Belsha2-
gar, describing it so infinitely and
graphically that it almost seemed pos
sible TO see the banqueters with the
figure Of Daniel standing before them.
Much interest was shown in DR..
Bulgn's statement that a roll of papy
rus discovered by arChaeOlogists gives
evidence of happenings chronicled in
the story of Daniel
