Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1928-04-20

pIcSSlOH lHeTe Is perhaps Ho mt
,dium which appeals to an audience
and affects it with a sense of the
sublimity in worship as the sing
ing of an Oratorio or rendering of
religious cantata such as that
given at the NJ. Z. Church of
VashOn Easter evening and repeat
ed at the Burton Community
Church on last Sunday night. A
capacity audience listened with
eager interest and musical appre-
citation to the singing of Marie
Hines composition, "The Re-
demption," a picture Of the clos
ing week of the Masters earthly
life, portrayed in medium of
wonderful harmonies.
A former report in this paper
has given the names Of the .soloists
and chorus of the NJ. Il. choir
which presented Burton with this
offering of song and the Comma
nifty desires to offer to the Direc-
tor to each member, to vocalists,
pianist and to players on string
ed instruments hearty message
of appreciation.
The entertainment given for the
benefit Of the Library netted $2S.-
65. The Vashon Island Woman S
Club are very grateful to the peo-
pie of Burton and vicinity for the
support given at this time and al
SO to the artists of Seattle and the
girls who gave the beautiful
Soldiers march. The one act farce
written by Miss Marjorie Stanley
demonstrated to the audience that
sometimes the members Of La
dies Club are not all ladies. The
library is issuing books free to
minors with the exception of the
three months in summer and the
amount will help towards paying
rent and buying books.
The Library has been receiving
donation of $500 per month but
this amount has been withdrawn
which makes it difficult to meet
expenses, but with the thought
in view that the free books will
help the young people, the Club is
glad to make the effort.
