Excellent Musical Pro¬ gram Rendered—Ex¬ ceptional Fine Solo Work.
The rece]itiiiii to the eniilirniandi and the new members in the Moravian Church last Tuesday evening was fairly will   attended,
Tlie musical prognun was e-\eellent, enjoyed by all, and relleeted great credit on those who rendered the program, and on Miss Anna Ziegler, who arranged the program.
The orchestra in its usual fine style opened the program w-ith a selection that was greatly appreciated.
The pastor then led in prayer, nnd after a few remarks called nn Mis^ Claire Wunderly for a vocal snl.i wliiili was  much n])preciated by the audieme.
Miss Katherine Kutz played a pin no soh) which was a credit to her ability, and was well received by the nudieiici'.
Wm, Gano gave a vocal soto, and he was at his best in his rich tenor vifice.
The trombone solo by Eugene Trine, accompanied on tbe piano by his daugh¬ ter Martha, was a treat.
Miss Harriet Reusswig played a piano solo that evinced her musical skill, nnd was much appreciated,
H, T, Vanatta sang a most pleasing solo, and the' rendition of it was a credit  to  him  and  was  w-ell  received.
The solo by Misa ,Jes.sie Honeyeutt brought prolonged apjilau.se. She sings with an ease and a naturalness that is wonderful and most effective.
Two selections for two pianos by the Misses Hagenbuch and Ziegler were ren¬ dered in a manner bringing out the abil¬ ity of those two musicians. The rendi¬ tions were most heartily and deservedly received.
After the program a social time was spent, and sugar cake and eolTee were served.

It is not often that  Xazareth  bas the rare privilege of hearing a returned Mis- sionarv  who  spent  Ifi  vears   in  Tibet called ¦'¦The   Ronf   of   the   World"     The slides   of   that   land   of   mnuntain-   and high  altitude,   and  of  a   people   victim, nf    Buddhism,   were   thrilling,   and    tlie talk  wns  inspiring.    Xo  one, after  hav ing   heard   the   aildress,   can   doubt   the power   of   the   Oospel   of   ,Jesus   Clirist. and  the  love  of God  as  a  dynamite  in the lives nf His servants, which issues in -iicIi   devotion   to   find,   and   -uch   sacri Iices for His cause.
