INTERESTING SERVICE
One Of the most successful and
interesting of the special religious
services which have been given in
Bluehill for several years at the
Congregational church, under the
TO 81 To ~ To
j. Martin, was that of last Sunday,
in union with the Baptist church,
now without settled pastor. This
year, the underlying thought Of the
meeting, which drew gathering
that almost strained the capacity of
the beautiful church, was a celebra-
ton of the fruits garnered from the
seeds planted by the Pilgrims at
Plymouth in December, 1920.
After the usual services, there
were three addresses and music ap-
propriate to the occasion, in which
the summer colonists took part, as
has been their wont ever since DR..
Franz Kneisel came to Parker Point
and attracted to the village a class
of artist-pupils who make possible
musical service that no city in the
State can match. Thus the offer
tory last Sunday was the slow move
ment from string quartet by Dit
tersdorf, famous composer of the
18th century, exquisitely played by
Miss Neill, Miss Karia Kleibe, Miss
Winifred Merrill and Julian Kahn.
Miss Neill is here restign from the
concert work of last season, and
preparing her repertory for the sea-
son to come. A second artistic
number was Mendelssohn arioso,
But the Lord is Mindful of His
Own" sung by Mrs. DR.. Anders of
Philadelphia, to the accompaniment
of string orchestra conducted by
DR.. Kneisel.
The congregational hymns were
sung to tunes familiar to the Pill
srims-"Dundee," from the old
Scottish Psalter, and The Old
Hundredth," which, as Mr.. Kreh-
biel pointed out in his address, was
in the mouth of Longfellow's "Pris-
ella" when John Alden" came a.
wooing for Capt. Miles Standish.
The final hymn was the oath
Psalm from this book which re-
manned in the use of the settlement
at Plymouth long after its union
