FOR NEW PASTOR.

To the Editor of The Dispatch-News.
Dear Sir:-Win you please allow me
a few lines in your valuable paper?
l am, in a sense, stranger in your
midst, but have already been made to
feel at home, and to realize that the
lines have fallen in pleasant place to
us. We have been shown that the
people of this community and sur
rounding country, have the ability to
make one feel at home.
Having accepted the call, to become
pastor Of the Zion Dastorate, made
vacant by the late Rev. J. A. Cromer,
we moved into the house provided as
temporary parsonage. Z
Not being able to arrange for house
keeping. the first few days, the hos
pitable home Of Mr.. and Mrs. D. F.
Efird and family was thrown open to
us and Of course all who have ever
been there, and doubtless many more,
know by reputation, that we truly fell
into good hands and were royalty
cared for by these good people. Friday
and part of Saturday we spent in un-
packing and arranging for house
keeping. ..'.r'
Saturday morning we had some in
timation from some Of the neighbors
that they might call on us in the af-
ternoon, yet we did not suspicion any
thing more than neighborly visit. by
few who lived nearby.
But about the middle of the after
noon the vanguard arrived in the per-
son Of a few individuals, to do: little
work on the house. And by them we
were given to understand that we
were to have more visitors later. 5
Presently we realized a crowd had
gathered in the house, upon the
veranda and in the yard, when one OF
the men asked to be shown the way
to the kitchen. Now you generally
feel kind Of nisgiving, when a. man

"Oh, Alright" he mumbled with
strange docility. "Didn' know you

NO." she said firmly-'you're

She drew him away. He yielded
without remonstrance, permitted
her to lead him to the door Of the
car, stumbled in on his knees, and
crawled up to the seat.
Lucinda followed, the door closed
behind her with a clap sweeter than
music in her hearing And with
purring gears the car shot out nf
range of those leering faces.
Lucinda had forgotten Dobbin as
utterly as if she had never known
him.
Bellamy lay in a loose SLOUGH,
breathing heavily. The passing
lights revealed the stupidity of his
congested features. His eyes were
half-closed, he seemed to be asleep.
When at length the car stopped,
she jumped out and, leaving Bel

CHOIR SINGS AT
CHARITY Benefit
cspoella Group Concert to Aid
Lutheran Hospital; Fourth
Local Program.

The charity concert tomorrow In
the Augustana auditorium by the
rutheran A CappelIa choir will be
one Of the musical events of the
week.
The choir has been heard only
three times in the tri-cities and Is
donating its services. Executive
committee Of the board of directors
NJ Augustana college voted last
week to donate the use of the gym
far the concert. All the incidental
erpenses are being taken care of
and the women's auxiliary of the
hospital announces that the sale
If tickets will net 100 per cent for
charity. Mrs. Alfred Comber, pres
ident OF the women's auxiliary, an
nounced today that 100 patrons
have been secured.
The chorus was formed early last
fall by Prof o. H. Bostrom, well
known in the tri-cities as a choir
leader. There are 35 trained voices
in the organization and the special
feature about the choir Is that it
sings without accompaniment. A
Capella was chosen as the name OF
the choir because as musical term
IT means without accompaniment.
The derivation of the word is very
interesting. 1t originally came
from the Latin word cappa from
which the modern word cape is
derived. 1t was first used in the
early history of the Christian
church as a name for the hood or
cape worn by st. Andrew when he
performed the rites of the church
and when the cape was not in use
1t was kept in the church and from
that same word the modern word
chapel is derived and the custodian
of the cape was called the chap
lain.
This newest tri-city organization
is the result of an ideal that DIR.
Bostrom has had for many years,
inspired by the famous st. Olof
choir that has been heard in the
tri-cities. The rather remarkable
feature OF the singing of the choir
is the blending of the IS voices so
that they really sound like one
voice and the harmony and tonal
effect are extraordinary.
