Trinity NJ. E. Church was filled
with an appreeiative congregation
on Sunday evening to hear the sac
red cantata From Olivet to Calvary
by J. H. Maunder It was given by
members of the adult educational
class, conducted by Mr.. and Mrs.
Glenn Gildersleeve. Mrs. w. H.
Person, who is a wonderful pianist
was the accompanist. The soprano
solos were sung very beautifully by
Mrs. Gildersleeve. Mr.. GildeTsleeve
and G. r. Miller sang the tenor and
baritone solos very beautifully as
both have magnificent voices.
The Glass gave a very enjoyable
rendition of the other parts of the
Cantata. The entire music course
has been very worthwhile: Music
and art have both been much appre-
ciated here in the past two years.
After the church service the entire
music class and other guests were
invited to the home of Mrs. William
Leach for a pleasant social hour.
No other form of recreation brings
people closer together than commu
nifty singing. Both the class and
tOwn-folk appreciate the courtesy OF
Mr.. and Mrs. GilderSleeve for max
ing il possible TO have such a song
service for Palm Sunday. The church
was beautifully decorated with cut
flowers and pOtted plants for the
occasion by Mrs. John c. Darby,
who has an artistic touch for flow
er arrangement

the choir for the morning service on
Easter Sunday.
