was through the combined efforts of
the Lutheran, Reformed, and Metho-

mile tour made by the organization.
The choir came here late Sunday af-
ternoon after being in Meyersdale
earlier in the day. Food and lodging
were provided by local people. Supper
was served in the Lutheran church

morning and left early to return to the
college at Bluffton.
