Easter Music atFirst
M. E. Church
The musical program rendered
at the First M., E. Church last
Sunday night was a treat to all
who heard it, Credit must be given
to Mr. Burr Stokoe who prepared
the vocal part, to Prof. C. W.
Merck who provided much of the
instrumental music, and to Mr.
Ray Frey the pianist, who ably
assisted both,
The vocal part of the program
was rendered by the choir with
out the aid of outside talent. Each
number on this part of the pro
gram was exceptionally strong,
sustaining the reputation of the
choir which has never disappoint
ed an audiance.
The regular orchestra was en
larged by the presence of Messrs
Merck, Crews, Harrington, Mix
on, Thurston, Glover, Lagerstrom
and each number on this portion
of the program was selected and
rendered in harmony with the oc
casion. In this connection should
be mentioned specially, the trom
bone solo, ‘‘Calvary” which was
ably rendered by Prof. Merck.
The entire program has met with
much praise.
First Baptist Church
All the members of the Church
and congregation as well as all in
terested friends are cordially in
vited and urged to be present at
the First Baptist church Sunday
