Radio Helps Find Mrs. Jas. Bobb's Lost Brother After 15 Years Search It is thru radio that Mrs. James Bobb, I from time to time. But even this method wife of Jas. Bobb, a foreman in the printing department of the Hershey Chocolate Co., of this place, isindebted for the findin gof the whereabouts of her long-lost brother, Ed. H. Shumberger, of near Lincoln, Neb. It was fifteen years ago that Mrs. Bobb had last heard from him, at which time he wrote from Dallas, Texas, and stating in his letter that he was preparing to leave for a trip to Mexico, and might make that his home, if conditions were favorableS— Mrs. Bobb not hearing from him, be-came uneasy and endeavored to get in touch with him by correspondence, but all of her letters were returned. For fifteen years she continued her efforts to locate her brother's whereabouts, but was unable to obtain the slightest inkling concerning him. As a last resort, Mr. Bobb asked Park Cassady, who has a powerful broadcasting station near this place, to broadcast a description of his wife's brother, which was done, and which Mr. Cassady broadcasted brought no word of or from him, and Mrs. Bobb gave him up for dead. However, this week she received a letter from Lincoln, Neb., and as soon as she had seen the handwriting she knew that the letter was from her brother. The writer did not know that he was writing to his sister, but stated that he had received word from a neighbor of his, who had heard the radio message, and judging from the description , his friend believed that it was he that was wanted. Knowing that he had a sister somewhere in Pennsyl-vania, he followed his friend's suggestion and wrote to determine whether or not it was he that was wanted. In the letter Mr. Shumberger stated that he had forgotten the name of his sister's husband, that in his travels in Mexico he had lost all his papers. He stated that he had finally located in Ne-braska, near Lincoln, where he had taken r j sheep grazing, owning a large ranch.

Everybody is cordially invited to at tend this service of song and praise. which he can speak best upon the manuals. Mr. Wallace is upon an extended con-cert tour, and the music-lovers of Hershey and vicinity are indeed fortunate in being given the opportunity of hearing this master of the pipe organ. The Brotherhood, under whose auspices Mr. Wallace will give his "An Evening of Music", extends a cordial invitation to the music lovers of Hershey and vicinity to hear Mr. Wallace on Tuesday evening, April 14th, and they hope to tax the seating capacity of the church to its utmost. Tickets cannot be sold, and an offering must be lifted in order to defray the ex-penses incurred. The Brotherhood is trusting to the liberality of those attending, hopeful that the offering will consist of a veritable deluge of twenty-five cent pieces. The program as arranged by Mr. Wal-lace is one that all will enjoy, one that will uplift and benefit .which is as follows: 1. Eduard Batiste. Offertory of St. Cecilia. 2. Ralph Kinder. Meditation. C. Walter Wallace, the noted blind organist of Philadelphia, and for six years organist and musical director of the Tabor Reformed Church, of Lebanon, will give "An Evening of Music" at the Holy Trini-ty Lutheran Church, of this place, on Tuesday evening, April 14th. Mr., Wallace on March 16th gave a private recital at Dover, Del., for-Governor Robinson and members of his official staff. Mr. Wallace will render the opening con-cert at the dedication of a new organ in the Lutheran Church, of Womelsdorf, on Easter. • The wonderful art of Mr. Wallace is a revelation to the critics and lovers of music. His technic is delightful but above all, his playing is possessed of that heart feelin g that gives his hearers the impression of inspiration. His phrasing makes his selections songs without words. Nature apparently has compensated the artist for the loss of his sight in providing him with other attributes and keener sensibility to touch and charm, and his hearers are permitted to grasp soulful sentiments 3.

The town has always boasted of a large number of hardy hikers, but this year two new faces have made their ap-pearance on the roads in and around Her-shey, in the person of "Bill" Curtis and Paul Gingrich. These two hiking enthu-siasts every evening after their hearty repast at the Hershey Cafe gear their feet to the road and set out on an expedition which takes them to parts unknown to many Hersheyites. They often make ten to fifteen miles on these trips and think no more of it than we would think of crossing from the Inn to the Post Office. Monday evening they headed southward on one of their trips and after returning to Hershey several hours later, claimed the champion-ship hiking honors of Eastern Pennsylvania for in the remarkably short time of three hours and fifty minutes they had covered the distance to Elizabethtown, from there to a point eastward and returned via Campbelltown and Industrial School ; truly a great record. This is without doubt a record that will stand for some time and would be hard to believe, but we have "Bill's" word for it for Bill is known as a truthful fisherman, so we have ac-cepted the story as authentic. They must have been going at a rapid rate for word was received at the Motor Patrol head-quarters from the Deodate "constable", to be on the lookout for two men that speeded thru that community at 7 miles above the legal rate. Wra pping Takes Lead In Industrial League By defeating the Construction depart-ment on Friday evening by a close score, 24 to 21, the Wrapping department re-gained first place in the Industrial league. The Construction boys played a fast game and put up a stubborn defense, the score being tied numerous times throughout the game. It was only in the closing minutes of the game that the Wrapping department forged ahead after which they froze onto the ball. In the second game of the evening, the Planing Mill, who held undisputed pos-session of first place for several months lost to the fast going Men's Club by a 37 to 20 score, thereby going into second place. At no time during the game was the Men 's Club team in danger and held a safe lead throughout the game. The game tho rough , was fast and exciting at all times. Gerloch, the Planing Mill ace, was held without a field goal by Schlepfer. Sim-mons was the fastest door worker for the losers. The whole Men's Club team played a hard game and their teamwork showed up to excellent advantage. Stover and Aungst were the high scorers while Schlepfer 's close guarding was a feature of the game. There are still more games to be played in the league and providing the officials agree, they will be as follows: Wrapping vs. Planing Mill; Men 's Club vs. Store; Plan-ing Mill vs. Men's Club, and the Champ-ionship game.

Mike had just arrived in this country, and was making his home with his brother, Pat, a farmer. They went up on the side hill to gather pumpkins. "And phwat be them", asked Mike pointing to the pumpkins. "Aye, them are mare's eggs", replied Pat. "And thin if O'i would set on wan would it hatch me out a nice colt," asked Mike. "Sure, and them be very pedigreed eggs," confided Pat. "Well and begorrah, thin I'll try it," said Mike. Mike selected a large pumpkin, and hovered it as best he could, all day and all night. The next morning he stood up, and danced an Irish jig to get his blood to circulating. By accident his foot hit the pumpkin, which rolled down the hill at a great rate. The pumpkin shattered against a fence. Just then a rabbit jumped out and bounded away. Mike got very excited and started in pursuit of the rabbit, calling to him as he ran, "Come coltie, come coltie, come come coltie." You know, says the Man with the Wooden Leg, some of these millionaire fellows have their nerve right with them. Why last month that rich- guy that lives right next door to me tried to buy me out, lock, stock, and barrel. But I wouldn't hear to it, no-siree-bob. And then I "11 be blanked if he didn 't offer me a cool thou-sand if I'd stop my daughter's singing lessons. "Some gall!" interpolates the Man with the Cedar Chest. "What did you do?" "Why I took his money, of course. I didn't like her singing any better than he did." "Well," says the Man with the. Cedar Chest," your daughter's musical education is certainly a paying proposition." Out in Wisconsin they speak the truth even when it hurts. Witness the epitaph the Chicago News gleaned from a small town cemetery in that state : "Think not, stranger, as you pass by, That this is a place of gloom, I love to linger near this spot, For it is my husband's tomb." Ever hear the one about the cross-eyed usher. Well, anyway, an old lady came into a strange church and settled herself in a private pew. The usher meant well but his tongue slipped. This is what he said to the old lady: "Pardon me, madam. This pie is oc-cupewed. May I sew you to another sheet?" Bedtime Story Boys and girls I suppose you are all familiar with the parts of a sailing vessel, and you know that one of a sailing ship's sails is known as the spanker. But Miss Banker who was spending her first night at the seashore didn 't know this. So you can imagine how scared she was: There was a young lady named Banker, Who slept while the ship lay at anchor. She arose in dismay When she heard that mate say, Now hoist up the top sheet and spanker. Toby French, of Liberty Cross Roads, is a maker of jackknives, an enthusiatic sportsman, and a conscientious objector to the W. C. T. U. He often wanders, in the manner of Rip Van Winkle, far from his native acres. One day, when his hunting coat was full of game and he was full of Doctor Drake's Corn Licker, Good to the Last Drop, he sat down to rest under a great birch tree. Toby took out his favorite jackknife and carved on the bark of the birch the follow-ing somewhat wabbly inscription: ^ WAS HEAR WUNS. BUT I AIN 'T HEAR NOW— T. FRENCH. Of course it is a sin to write up so much stuff about the pre-prohihition epoch, but murder will out , and we may as well get this out of the way to make room for some-thing better : Old man Chandler used to keep the Liberty Cross Roads Barroom. He was generally known by young and old as Old Chan. Tommy Brown, who didn 't sound his r 's, was a minor, but he did love his toddy. He sauntered into the barroom one day and asked Old Chan for a glass of beer. What Tommy said to Old Chan, and what Old Chan said to Tommy constitute Liber-ty Cross Roads' contribu tion to the litera-ture of th e ages : "Oh deah. I guess I'll taken glass of benh ," And Old Chan says, "I guess not heab." Elegy Written In a Country Barnyard The rain came down In torrents The rain , the desolate rain , A lx >w-legged girl named Florence Was alone in th e world again. She didn 't have a fellow, The rain , th e desolate rain . And she'd lef t her new iimbrellow On the train , the evenin g train . The night was cold and sleeting, The rain , the desolate rain. But Flo saw somebody meeting The train , the evening train. P(x>r little bow-legged reckless, The rain , the desolate rain , The sleet froze to her necklace With a dull and throbbin g pain. And she hadn't her new iimbrellow , The rain , the desolate rain , But who was this knock-kneed fellow On a wagon load of grain. I Ie lifted how-legged Florence, The rain , the desolate rain , And he piled her deep, did Ij iwrcnce, Under bags and bags of grain. When the rain shall come down in tor-rents, The ruin , the desolate rain , Our iKiw-legged friend , our Florence, Will never be lonely again. For hasn 't Florence (.nwrencc,— The rain , the desolate rnln , That came swirling down In torrents, As she stepped from the evening train. And her fellow isn't yellow.— The rnln , the desolate vain ,— And now she lias a new iimbrellow, So how can tho complain? John Hallgren Continues His Jou rney From Jerusalem To Bethlehem and Hebron Our attention was next given to Bethle-hem and the ancient Hebron, which di-vides the honor with Damascus of being the world's oldest existing city. On a Wednesday, the 6th of November, we ordered a 2-horse bus and at 10 o'clock, a. m., i. e. 4 o'clock according to the Arabic time, figuring from 6 a. m. to 6 p. m.. we started off. • Besides the three of us and the driver even a Jew occupied a seat arid he started just after leaving the city to put on his phylacteries and make prayer. The phylacteries are small, lyi inch cubes and are made of parchment or leather. On two sides is the Hebrew letter "shin" impressed in its two variations. The fastening straps are wound twelve times around the left arm and three times around the middle finger. We passed by the house, once occupied by the high priest Caiphas and then through the Valley of the Giants from where the road is steadily ascending until we arrive to the grave of Rachel, over which is built a Jewish chapel. Here she was buried after the birth of Benjamin and here the Jew again had to put on his phylacteries for prayer and worship. After another half hour's ride we passed Bethlehem on our left hand side, but decided to keep on to Hebron so as to get there before dark. Our next stop was at the old famous "Dams of Solomon", two great square water reservoirs, said to be deep enough to float any warship. They were constructed during the reign oi Solomon and through an aqueduct sup-plied Jerusalem and the temple with water. After an idleness of 2000 years they are now again being reconstructed to serve their,o riginal purpose. Two subterranean wells under the hillsloop near the road are keeping the dams full to overflow. Through a narrow passage we descend twenty-five steps, about ten inches high to the first well and further in the cave is the other one, receiving a glimpse of daylight from a small opening in the roof. The country is stony and like a desert overgrown with thorny shrubs and dwarf' oaks here and there. Down in a long valley we arrived to a little ramshackle, called "Khan" or "inn." The house was about ten feet long by seven feet wide supplied with nine hubble-bubbles or narghillahs, and seven lanterns but had only three chairs and four coffee-cups, making the casual travellers take their turn at the little black cup of Mocca. We continued over the barren hills and mountains, a part of the Judean desert, when we suddenly were confronted with the sight of a Bedouin wedding procession. A lot of halfnaked children were running ahead of a crowd of men in slow march, dressed in blue muslin and armed with long shiny brass-trimmed rifles and pistols, the last man leading the camel carrying the bride, covered with a red veil, with a glittering crown on her head, nodding in harmony with the strides of the camel. The procession ended with a crowd of women and young girls in blue dresses with yellow stripes, all chanting a very characteristic, monotonous Bedouin air. The peculiar impression of this real moving picture in the dull desert gave us a more romantic idea of the native race, who in everyday life appear as a pack of eagle-eyed thiefs, too lazy to perform a useful task, move so asthey seem to get along very well without it. and never would anyone dream of all this colorful regalia and fancy junk being harbored in those dirty beggardly camping tents, which, here and there in the most desolate wilderness appear on the sunnyside hill-slopes. The sun was sinking in the west, the waning breeze freshened up and the heat was transformed to a penetrating chill when we welcomed the sight of the old city, where we arrived about 7 o'clock in the evening. We stopped at a private house kept by a Jewish family and en-joyed a very tasty supper of bread, eggs, rice pudding and tea for 2yi piasters (10 cents) per man. Early the next morning a thick fog covered the surroundings, but disappeared after a couple of hours when it started to rain for all day, yet we started to view the old town with its numerous traditional and historical places and objects of sacred nature. The city covers a great area , but has only about 3000 inhabitants, the streets are paved with cobblestones but dirty and full of deep ruts, perhaps even some of them 3000 or 4000 years old. First we went to the old cave of Macpelah, the burial place Abraham bought from Efron, the Hittite, for 400 silversheckels and where the great ancestors of the Jews, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca, Jacob, Lea and Joseph are buried. To this Jewish sanctuary, long ago converted into a Mohammedan mosque, leads a long flights of steps and inside the portals the Jews and Christians are only allowed seven steps up. A short distance from here down to the right we visited an old ruin said to contain the tomb of the warrior Chieftain Abner and further down yet is the dam of David an old deep basin on the side of which the two Israelites were hung, who said they mur-dered Mesfiboset. South of the city is the quarantine place for contagious disease, surrounded by a high stonewall and to the right from here is a hill overgrown with olives where the ruins yet are standing of Isaias' house. A little stonepile is pointed out as the grave of Ruth and Isaias. From here we went to the old oak grove Mamre, where Abra-ham put up his tent and yet today a tre-mendous oak about twenty feet in diame-ter, some of its limbs fifteen feet thick and about eighteen feet from the ground, sup-ported by great props to keep them from breaking down, is said to have been planted by Abraham and said to be about 5600 years old. The old venerable tree is over 2000 years anyway, but the one cut down the year before my. visit was much older yet. The day was still dark, rainy and gloomy and as we could not afford to keep our 2-horse "taxi" and driver waiting for us more than one day we decided to get our dinner and go back to Bethlehem. This sacred city so interwoven and intwined with our Christmas celebrations all over the Christian world lies a little distance up-hill from the highway, so we left the driver by the road and continued by foot like the three wise men from the east up the world-famous church of nativity, supposed to have been built on the spot where Christ was born and visited by the Magi from the Orient. We entered a great hall with four rows of pillars, eleven in a row, coarse and solid with simple capitals, right before us is the high altar and under this a little crypt, where Christ was born. A monk, with a lit waxcandle is leading us down a dark stairway and shows us the place of the crib with the child. An altar covered with a red gold embroidered cloth and lit by a seven-armed candelabra gives the pilgrim an opportunity to kneel and pray. In front of the altar, on the floor, is a great silver star inlaid anno 1717 with a Latin inscription : "Hie de virgine Maria Jesus Christus natus est." (Here Christ was born by virgin Mary.) A Moliammedan soldier stands on guard, quiet and im-movable, more like a statue than a live warrior. The high mass was commencing upstairs so we went up to witness the ceremonies. The audience was exclusively women and girls dressed in the glittering national attire of Bethlehem, a white veil and on the breast a square embroidery in gold. We took only a hasty look over the city. The northern part consists of ancient gray stone dwellings, walls and ruins in oriental style as Jerusalem and Jerico, but on the south side a great many new houses yet incomplete, were being erected in more modern layouts. We returned to Jerusalem and arrived at our Khan Copti about 8 o'clock in the evening and were soon floundering on the floor around that little kerosene lamp, each one busy jotting down his individual impres-sion of the two day's travel. Presb yterians Hold Annual Congregational Meetin g The reports submitted by various orga-nizations of the Derry Presbyterian Church at its annual congergationaV meet-ing, April 1st, revealed substantial progress in practically every department of work. Cheering increases in contributions, with encouraging balances enabled the congre-gation to add $200 to the local support of the church, which was done unanimously. One-half of this amount will be used to reduce the appropriation from the Presby-tery, and the other half will be added to the pastor's salary. A most hearty and unanimous spirit prevailed throughout the meeting, and extensive repairs and improvements to the sexton house were provided for , besides the most generous contributions made to the manse and its equipment. A rising vote of thanks was extended to the manse com-mittee to Mrs. M. L. Hershey, for the photograph of the former church buildings presented to the congregation to hang per-petually upon the walls of the manse, and to all who have contributed in any way to its completion. The Sunday School officers were elected , as follows: Ivan L. Mease, honorary su|>erintcndent; Irvin H. Slesser, active superintendent; Mildred Palmer, recording and corresponding secretary; Pansy Reilly, librarian , and the following teachers : Rev. R. 11. Taylor, John Coi>e, Mrs. R. H.

Hersh ey Cross Word Fans Win Prize in Public Ledgerjlontest Remembering tha t to win is to do your I leader ni politics, the executive at the head work well. Miss Margaret Wheeler and Messrs. Wm. Hyland and J. F. Snavely, the chocolate and cocoa town's premier cross-word solvers, straightened their shoulders, set their eyes ahead, kept their chins up and started out to win one of the prizes offered by the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Ever since the "Cross Words" fad swept the country this trio have been filled with a "Cross Words" enthusiasm—knowing that it is enthusiasm that goes thru stone walls, bores miles under great rivers, wins battles and lays out cities and towns and nations. Enthusiasm changes maps and makes history possible. With this thought uppermost in their minds they knew that success would be theirs—and that some day a prize would be theirs! With this definite purpose before them they proceeded to bring about its accomp-lishment. They knew the first efforts of John Keats was laughed to scorn by his critics, and they knew tha t Washington lost more battles then he won, but they knew, nevertheless, that their aims were achieved—so they, too would hitch their wagon to a star and by consistently and courageously hovering over Webster 's, from early morn until late at night they would bring about the fulfillment of their desires—the winning of a prize ! In approaching the goal, they had faith in their abilit y, knowing that £iith is the abilit y to believe they have won before they have. It 's the art of beating your competitors, and surmounting all obstacles. They knew that the great stories of success from the beginning of time are but narra-tives of men and women doers—who had faith. The only time people fail is when they lose faith. The pitcher in a ball game, the soldier on a battle-field , the of a task or business. Remembering all this they knew that the prize would be theirs, for they had faith, bushels of it! Everybody begins, but not all stick to the task. But not so with these three hard-working "Cross Words" solvers. When they felt like quitting, they stuck, and they stuck to the job until they won a prize! On Sunday's issue of the Public Ledger, in black face type, their success was her-alded to all the world. Oh, boy, ain't life one grand exultation—especially when the wreath of victory is set upon one's brow. Happiness was theirs, and it bubbled over at the brim. They were happy for they were successful—possibly not because it was the large sum of money that was theirs, but happy because of their realized aims and completed efforts. The "Cross Words" slogan that had brought home the bacon—which was a check for $1.00, and which Messrs. Hy-land and Snavely graciously waived their pro rata to Miss Wheeler, was "That aboy, Al, we'll meet you at the Sesqui Centennial." Such a slogan should have won first prize—but this may be but our own point of view. As it is, they accomplished their purpose —they had won—and sec how they had built up their vocabulary! IWe have been informed that consider-able of the credit in the winning of the above-mentioned prize was due to the helpfulness and assistance of Sam Hinkle, our efficient chemist , who by bringing his acute reasoning ixjwcr and ability into play, solved a missing word, now and then, to the great satisfaction of the other three dili gent cross-worders.l "After Six Days", An Old Testament I Epic, at Hershey Central Theatre "Alter Six Days", the most astounding photo epic, a magnificent visualization of the world 's grea test story, with a cast of 1)00 principals, will be shown at the 1 ler-shey Centra l Theatre on Friday, April 10, at 7.:iO p. in., and Saturda y, April 11, at ().:i0aiul H.:i() i) . in. "Alter Six Day a" Is a cinema version of Old Testament hapixmlngs made by an Italian company on the ground where it is reputed they occurred. It 's only ten reels long now— but it was sixty-three when the American company that Is distributing it decided to take if over! The cinema surgery necessary to shape it into urogram lengths has, however, been excellently done. "After Six Days" surpasses that of "The Ten Commandments. The latter is ornate and effortful. The former is con-vincin g and effortless in that nolxxly seems strivin g for effect. It is great and it is simple, The Bible stories we have been taught to believe unfold before our eyes so naturall y that while the miracles thrill • they still appear logical, '1 he picture curries you from the days of Adam and Eve to the time of Solomon In all Ills glory. You witness the birth of knowledge. There Is the tal e of Cain unci Abel; ot Joseph and his coat of many colors; of the tribulations of the chosen people and their final deliverance from the crushing heel of the Pharaohs. A dozen other episodes go to make up the whole. "The Golden Call" cplwxle Is better done than It is in "Tho Ten Command-ments." ' ¦ Also the parting of the waters has licen more satisfactorily accomplished . And thou gh Theodore Roberts makes a siMendld Moses, the Moses of "After Six Days" Is far more the prophet conjured up by your Imagination , than that of Ameri-ca's beloved veteran actor. The mob scenes are most impressive. You never for a moment have the sensation of watching the carefully directed efforts of crowds ot "extras." 1 he production cost in excess of $3,000,- 000.00. It employed supernumeraries in number beyond Imagination. It is the first lime that the world 's his-tory from creation to the songs of King Solomon has ever been presented on the screen.

Radio Helps Find Mrs. Jas. Bobb's
Lost Brother After 15 Years Search
It is thru radio that Mrs. James Bobb, I from time to time. But even this method
wife of Jas. Bobb, a foreman in the printing
department of the Hershey Chocolate Co.,
of this place, isindebted for the findin gof the
whereabouts of her long-lost brother, Ed.
H. Shumberger, of near Lincoln, Neb.
It was fifteen years ago that Mrs. Bobb
had last heard from him, at which time he
wrote from Dallas, Texas, and stating in
his letter that he was preparing to leave for
a trip to Mexico, and might make that his
home, if conditions were favorableS—
Mrs. Bobb not hearing from him, be-came
uneasy and endeavored to get in
touch with him by correspondence, but all
of her letters were returned.
For fifteen years she continued her
efforts to locate her brother's whereabouts,
but was unable to obtain the slightest
inkling concerning him.
As a last resort, Mr. Bobb asked Park
Cassady, who has a powerful broadcasting
station near this place, to broadcast a
description of his wife's brother, which was
done, and which Mr. Cassady broadcasted
brought no word of or from him, and Mrs.
Bobb gave him up for dead.
However, this week she received a
letter from Lincoln, Neb., and as soon as
she had seen the handwriting she knew
that the letter was from her brother.
The writer did not know that he was
writing to his sister, but stated that he had
received word from a neighbor of his, who
had heard the radio message, and judging
from the description , his friend believed
that it was he that was wanted. Knowing
that he had a sister somewhere in Pennsyl-vania,
he followed his friend's suggestion
and wrote to determine whether or not it
was he that was wanted.
In the letter Mr. Shumberger stated
that he had forgotten the name of his
sister's husband, that in his travels in
Mexico he had lost all his papers. He
stated that he had finally located in Ne-braska,
near Lincoln, where he had taken
r j sheep grazing, owning a large ranch.

which he can speak best upon the manuals.
Mr. Wallace is upon an extended con-cert
tour, and the music-lovers of Hershey
and vicinity are indeed fortunate in being
given the opportunity of hearing this
master of the pipe organ.
The Brotherhood, under whose auspices
Mr. Wallace will give his "An Evening of
Music", extends a cordial invitation to the
music lovers of Hershey and vicinity to
hear Mr. Wallace on Tuesday evening,
April 14th, and they hope to tax the seating
capacity of the church to its utmost.
Tickets cannot be sold, and an offering
must be lifted in order to defray the ex-penses
incurred.
The Brotherhood is trusting to the
liberality of those attending, hopeful that
the offering will consist of a veritable
deluge of twenty-five cent pieces.
The program as arranged by Mr. Wal-lace
is one that all will enjoy, one that will
uplift and benefit .which is as follows:
1. Eduard Batiste. Offertory of St.
Cecilia.
2. Ralph Kinder. Meditation.
C. Walter Wallace, the noted blind
organist of Philadelphia, and for six years
organist and musical director of the Tabor
Reformed Church, of Lebanon, will give
"An Evening of Music" at the Holy Trini-ty
Lutheran Church, of this place, on
Tuesday evening, April 14th.
Mr., Wallace on March 16th gave a
private recital at Dover, Del., for-Governor
Robinson and members of his official staff.
Mr. Wallace will render the opening con-cert
at the dedication of a new organ in the
Lutheran Church, of Womelsdorf, on
Easter.
• The wonderful art of Mr. Wallace is a
revelation to the critics and lovers of
music. His technic is delightful but above
all, his playing is possessed of that heart
feelin g that gives his hearers the impression
of inspiration. His phrasing makes his
selections songs without words. Nature
apparently has compensated the artist for
the loss of his sight in providing him with
other attributes and keener sensibility to
touch and charm, and his hearers are
permitted to grasp soulful sentiments
