In the Choir of
or the Evening Concert
whoever singcth, must sing his part well, be he
rich or poor, high or low down, eminent or
obscure in the musical ranks.
4 Whether he singeth bass, tenor or treble, it
is nothing if he doth riot do it well.
It is not the loftiness of the place nor the
thousands in the audience that makes the
occasion great, nor is it the beauty or wealth;
poverty or reputation of the singer that saves
the day.
Each of the singers favored by the
opportunity must rise on time to fulfill the exact
score of the great Master's writing, of the
splendid piece he or she has undertaken to
render.
So it is for us all to be true and do our part
right in the scote of duty, rather than merely sit
by favor in the scats of the mighty.

FOR the past two months wo havo been doing a record-breaking
silk business. Women havo been buying silks and satins of
every kind and color in enormous quantities.

in spite of all this you keep in other unsafe places.

Store, where ou will see a variety of home safes that will
surely interest you.
These are small-sized, practical, reliable one.- that can
