.SERENADE FEATURE
 OF ORGAN RECITAL
Appreciative Audience Enjoys Programme at Church of
 the Advent

The organ recital given yesterday aft- ernoon at the Church of the Advent by
 Ferdinand Dunkley, organist and choir master, was attended by large and appreciative audience, and the splendid programme greatly enjoyed. Tnese re- citals mark big step forward Tn the
 musical development of the city as the
 programmes presented are of such
 character as to appeal to the most exact
 ing as we'll as the general public.
 The feature of the programme was the ever enjoyable ''Serenade' by Schupert' which was played as a solo on the F'rench horn. which is one of the most neautliul stops on the organ and contrasted in- terestjngly D. the second solo on the vox hunfana. ''Unfold Ye Portals" from Gounods Redemption, was much enjoyed because of it's popularity as a choral number and for the fine arrangement for
 the organ by G. c. Martin.
 The 'Ioccata' was the opening num- 1 her and furnished a medium for bril- l liant and powerful organ playing with l thunderous harmonics and few tran i iuuil moments in the middle which tended
 to bring out by contrast the meterie flashes of the composition as whole 1 Perhaps the symphonic poem. or pheus." by Liszt, was the faVorite witf the musicians present. The registration
 was so we'll marked out by MT. DunkleS that the orchestral effect was perfecl and the many technic difficulties played with the greatest ease and facility. MT l Dlnkley's mastery of the organ is. 1 source of constant satisfaction by ms many admirers and the public IS flndine these organ recitals one of the weekly events eagerly looked forward to.

On Decem- Der 1 the war department raised the quota to IS men per day. and the Alabams district more than accomplished the new task set for it.

 Tn pre-war days, as it does now, said Colonel Saffarrans, military train ling greatly benefited any man, for II improved him physically, prepared him for life work by making him stronger and | healthier, improved his personal appear ance, gave him mental and physical dis cipline, the knack of quick thinking and the habit of promptness and courtesy, eie- lments necessary for the attainment ol success in civil life.
 Under the programme of educational and vocational training to which tht
 army has committed itself, and which has been in operation for a little more than a year and half, the opportunity lis offered soldiers to acquire an educa ton, limited only by the ambition of th' student-soldier, and to learn trade in the army schools and shops.
