M. C. A. Secretary. H.AXS FOR EASTER MUSIC Choir Leaders and Organists Ar Arrang ing to Outdo Kven Their Christian Effort-Cleveland Pa par Pays Compli ment to Kev. W. Q. Partridge. Miss Nellie Allen, of Syracuse, who It was thought would be secured to fill the secretaryship of the Scranton Young Women's Christian association, has been engaged to become the assistant Pennsylvania secretary. She will work under the direction of Miss Dun. of Scranton, the state secretary, and will make this city her headQiiarters. Her work will be almost exclusively con fined to the colleges. Miss A Hen reached here from Syracuse yesterday. That she would be assistant state secretary was not known by the board of managers of the Scranton as sociation until Thursday, when a letter ftom her was received announcing her Intentions. She has for some time been similarly engaged in New York. There are now no candidates for the position of local secretary. The matter Is In the hands of the state committee and the board of managers is daily expecting to receive from the committee its recom mendation of a suitable person. Miss Allen will address tomorrow af ternoon's .gospel meeting In the asso ciation rooms. church Taster Musie. Organists and choristers in many of the churches are getting an early start In their preparations for Easter by cor respondence and Inquiry relative to the best and most attractive music for that church festival. It might be supposed that the last splendid Christmas pro gramme might discourage any more such elaborate attempts in the near fu ture, but such is not the case. The strife and competition of choir leaders to get the best possible programmes for their respective churches has really served to nerve them on to a repetition of the effort. In the first place, the music leaders were more than pleased by the greatest outpouring of congregations known in the city's history; they realized that the music was the chief attraction, and the compliment has spurred them on to repetition. The fact that some choris ters, during Christinas week,- showed a superiority and some an inferiority among themselves has a peculiar bear ing on the Easter matter, as those who gave the most excellent programmes are confident of dointr so again, while the more unfortunate musicians are anxious to demonstrate that they can not always be beaten. It all Indicates that the congregations will be treated to Easter music which may discount even the grand programmes of last Christmas. Ahoat Btv. Warrsn G. Partridge.
