Edgar Shields, of Bethlehem, given in the St. John's Lutheran church. A highly appreciative audftence at¬ tended. Bethlehem Is truly fortun¬ ate in having in their midst several organists who have proved them¬ selves to be of the highest calibre. Of these Prof. Shields ranks among the best. His activity in mus.cal organizations about the city has won for him a high place in the musical circles of that city. At present he is organist and musical directoi m the church of the Nativity. Under his leadership the Bass Clef Club has gained a worthy place in the circle of vocal musical organizations. He is also the director of the music group of the Thursday Evening Club, a club which has for its aim the promotion and production of the best in literature, art, music, etc. His renditions were especially well chosen. Lovers of Bach were de- l'ghted with theToccata and Fugue in D minor. The audience appeared to be most receptive to this type of music and this Bach rendition, if we may be permitted to be bit partial, met with greatest favor. The Moz¬ art Minuet and Martini Gavotte also deserve special mention. Prof. Shields was assisted by Miss Pauline Michel, violinist, and Mr. Hans Dressel, 'celloist. Miss Michel is another of Bethlehem's talented musicians. She has appeared in Nazareth on former occasions. Those who have heard her play, will not miss any opportunity to hear her. Her solo, Andante by Lalo, was w-ell chosen and rendered in her master¬ ful style. Mr. Dressel needs no introduction to tlie music lovers of Nazareth. His work as director of the Music Lover's Club has been highly commendable and greatly appreciated. As a 'cellist he is a master.

And a flood of recollection passes o'er you while you're musing On the past, and weaves about you an imaginative spell. You can see the old home village once again in fancy, seeming To be clasping hand of neighbor and of friend and relative; And their faces rise before you as you're idly, fondly dreaming O'er tha little couitry paper printed where you used to live. —Kansas Industrialist. For some years it has been thb custom at Nazareth Hall Military Academy to observe May 3rd as "Founders' Day," for on May 3rd, 1755, the corner stone of the Main Hall was laid. This was the build¬ ing which has been intended to be the headquarters of Count Zinzen- dorf, who was then expected to make a visit to America, in connection with his extensive missionary wmk. It was however, never used by the Count, and, in 1759 it was de¬ termined to use it to house the school which had been established in Nazareth for boya as early as 1743. On Tuesday, May 3rd, the present cadets marched in battalion form- jation from the Hall Campus to the I "Grey Cottage," the name given to the log building at east end of town, in which the first school was j held. There, on the little porch, Bishop J. Taylor Hamilton, D. D„ president of the Moravian Colleg'; jand Theological Seminary, Bethle¬ hem, delivered a short, but remark¬ ably appropriate address to the cadets, describing conditions under which that pioneer school was founded, and the development of the first years of Its existence. This was then the country of the Indians, who rightly resented the sharp practice of the white men, as illus¬ trated in the famous "Walking Purchase." After the first estab¬ lishment of the school at Nazareth, it was moved to Bethlehem for a time, and finally, in June, 1759, 111 hoys, with 19 instructors and assist¬ ants, marched through the woods to Nazareth, and the school found its new home in the Manor House, v. hich Count Zinzendorf was not to use, but which was admirably adapted to the new purpose. Prayer was offered after Dr. Hamilton's talk by the Rev. W. H. Vogler, secretary and treasurer of the Nazareth Hall Alumni Association. In the groups of visitors were also Mi. and Mrs. H. A. Sonn, of New¬ ark, N. J.; Mrs. Wolfenden, of Card- ington; a number of the teachers, and the Principal and his wife. Mr. Sonn is the president of the New York branch of the Alumni Associ¬ ation, and his visit was very oppor¬ tune. The cadets were in service uni¬ form, with white belts and gloves, and their marching showed the effect of the work of the year, with the resent practice marches. On returning to the campus, the Companies again presented arms at the monument, and the Principal drew attention to the growth of the school, as represented in the build¬ ings which were added to the c.riginal Main Hall. A few words by Mr. Sonn closed the exercises. Supper was served in the open air, and each cadet used the mess- kit which is a regular part of the equipment of the military depart¬ ment. On the preceding evening all the officers of the battalion prepared their own supper alt Black Rock, each man cocking everything in his own personal equipment, as would be necessary on the march. Later the entire battalion will be required to do the same thing, under the in¬ structions of the officers. Since the victory of the N. H. M. A. baseball team over Be'hlehem High School, the spirit of the boys has been high. Rain last Saturday prevented a game with Bangor High but Quakertown crossed bats with the cadets Wednesday, and a return game with Bethlehem High will take place on Friday afternoon, in Bethlehem. On the evening of Thursday. May 12th, the Senior Class, assisted by several young ladles of Nazareth, v ill give a play, "The Man From Mexico," It promises to be a very good presentation, as all are work¬ ing hard for lt. Be-reglstratlons for next year are already coming In each day, together with Inquiries from new quarters Returned From Hospital Miss Bessie Walter returned to tt wn on Monday after undergoing in operation ln a Philadelphia hos¬ pital.

His activity in mus.cal organizations about the city has won for him a high place in the musical circles of that city. At present he is organist and musical directoi m the church of the Nativity. Under his leadership the Bass Clef Club has gained a worthy place in the circle of vocal musical organizations. He is also the director of the music group of the Thursday Evening Club, a club which has for its aim the promotion and production of the best in literature, art, music, etc. His renditions were especially well chosen. Lovers of Bach were de- l'ghted with theToccata and Fugue in D minor. The audience appeared to be most receptive to this type of music and this Bach rendition, if we may be permitted to be bit partial, met with greatest favor. The Moz¬ art Minuet and Martini Gavotte also deserve special mention. Prof. Shields was assisted by Miss Pauline Michel, violinist, and Mr. Hans Dressel, 'celloist. Miss Michel is another of Bethlehem's talented musicians. She has appeared in Nazareth on former occasions. Those who have heard her play, will not miss any opportunity to hear her. Her solo, Andante by Lalo, was w-ell chosen and rendered in her master¬ ful style. Mr. Dressel needs no introduction to tlie music lovers of Nazareth. His work as director of the Music Lover's Club has been highly commendable and greatly appreciated. As a 'cellist he is a master.

And a flood of recollection passes o'er you while you're musing On the past, and weaves about you an imaginative spell. You can see the old home village once again in fancy, seeming To be clasping hand of neighbor and of friend and relative; And their faces rise before you as you're idly, fondly dreaming O'er tha little couitry paper printed where you used to live. —Kansas Industrialist. For some years it has been thb custom at Nazareth Hall Military Academy to observe May 3rd as "Founders' Day," for on May 3rd, 1755, the corner stone of the Main Hall was laid. This was the build¬ ing which has been intended to be the headquarters of Count Zinzen- dorf, who was then expected to make a visit to America, in connection with his extensive missionary wmk. It was however, never used by the Count, and, in 1759 it was de¬ termined to use it to house the school which had been established in Nazareth for boya as early as 1743. On Tuesday, May 3rd, the present cadets marched in battalion form- jation from the Hall Campus to the I "Grey Cottage," the name given to the log building at east end of town, in which the first school was j held. There, on the little porch, Bishop J. Taylor Hamilton, D. D„ president of the Moravian Colleg'; jand Theological Seminary, Bethle¬ hem, delivered a short, but remark¬ ably appropriate address to the cadets, describing conditions under which that pioneer school was founded, and the development of the first years of Its existence. This was then the country of the Indians, who rightly resented the sharp practice of the white men, as illus¬ trated in the famous "Walking Purchase." After the first estab¬ lishment of the school at Nazareth, it was moved to Bethlehem for a time, and finally, in June, 1759, 111 hoys, with 19 instructors and assist¬ ants, marched through the woods to Nazareth, and the school found its new home in the Manor House, v. hich Count Zinzendorf was not to use, but which was admirably adapted to the new purpose. Prayer was offered after Dr. Hamilton's talk by the Rev. W. H. Vogler, secretary and treasurer of the Nazareth Hall Alumni Association. In the groups of visitors were also Mi. and Mrs. H. A. Sonn, of New¬ ark, N. J.; Mrs. Wolfenden, of Card- ington; a number of the teachers, and the Principal and his wife. Mr. Sonn is the president of the New York branch of the Alumni Associ¬ ation, and his visit was very oppor¬ tune. The cadets were in service uni¬ form, with white belts and gloves, and their marching showed the effect of the work of the year, with the resent practice marches. On returning to the campus, the Companies again presented arms at the monument, and the Principal drew attention to the growth of the school, as represented in the build¬ ings which were added to the c.riginal Main Hall. A few words by Mr. Sonn closed the exercises. Supper was served in the open air, and each cadet used the mess- kit which is a regular part of the equipment of the military depart¬ ment. On the preceding evening all the officers of the battalion prepared their own supper alt Black Rock, each man cocking everything in his own personal equipment, as would be necessary on the march. Later the entire battalion will be required to do the same thing, under the in¬ structions of the officers. Since the victory of the N. H. M. A. baseball team over Be'hlehem High School, the spirit of the boys has been high. Rain last Saturday prevented a game with Bangor High but Quakertown crossed bats with the cadets Wednesday, and a return game with Bethlehem High will take place on Friday afternoon, in Bethlehem. On the evening of Thursday. May 12th, the Senior Class, assisted by several young ladles of Nazareth, v ill give a play, "The Man From Mexico," It promises to be a very good presentation, as all are work¬ ing hard for lt. Be-reglstratlons for next year are already coming In each day, together with Inquiries from new quarters Returned From Hospital Miss Bessie Walter returned to tt wn on Monday after undergoing in operation ln a Philadelphia hos¬ pital.
