Sunday evening the Lyric Male quartet of New London gave very pleasing and effective musical evening at the Mont vile Union Baptist chruch. They sang The Son of God Goes Forth to War at the Christian Endeavor service, which was extremely well rendered. The regu- lar choir took their usual places for the preaching service, and the pastor, Rev. J. H. Stearns, invited the quartet, with MT. Hayes as leader. to join them for the praise service During the preaching ser vice the quartet gave three selections. The first Praise the Lord, was sung for the offeftory. The second, At the Close of Day, was given just before the message of the evening. Messrs. Slstare. Dodds and Spencer took their parts exception ally well, with clear tones, and maintaine- ed perfect harmony all through the se- lections. Just before the conclusion of the service they were called on again and MT Hayes selected very appropriate number, The Beautiful Golden Gate. Mir. Hayes carried his part very effectively during this selection and there is no doubt that the quartet were great help to the pastor, for as the invitation was given at i the close two young men stood to publicly backnOwiedge Christ as their personal Saviour.
