TUESDAY EVENING,
WILHELMINA K. DRESS
Press Correspondent
I render one of the most classical pro
ductions written by the famous au
thor, Mendelssohn.
The singing of Gospel music 'and
1 oratorios in these late years has
been given a much more prominent
place, has rung with a more domi
nant tone, inspired by the realiza
tion of the conflict 'and with the
knowledge of ultimate ' victory,
which is more and more being felt.
With all this we have been com
j manded to "Come before His pres
ence with singing," and the Bible
tells us that "in His presence is full
ness of joy." So, is it not possible
to believe that where there is singing
there is fullness of joy?
The chorus and ciuartet parts will
show great effect in the rendition of
j the oratorio. The most prominent
character is Elijah, which will be
taken by Mr. Sutton, while other
members of the chorus will be just
as important to make a big hit in
I musical class.
Sing in Nearby Towns
The Harrisburg C. E. Union choir
was organized February 2, 1909, in
the Bethlehem Lutheran Church, at
which time the following officers
were in active service: President, J.
Frank Palmer; vice-president, W. D.
Parkhill; secretary, Miss Anna Mc-
CATHERINE D. HEIKES

sic committee, B. A. Booser, chair
man. The name of the choir was
then changed to Harrisburg C. E.

During the past eight years annual
concerts have been a help to many of
the city churches and the surround
ing towns. The choral sang at the
county almshouse, hospital, the City
Rescue Mission, and district Sun
day school conventions. Thirty-five
members attended a meeting at
Shock's Mills where valuable ser
vices were given to the church at
that place. At the State C. E. con
vention in July, 1916, the choral
union rendered excellent music
throughout the evening programs.
The rehearsals during the past two
months have been very well attend
ed. The highest attendance was 83
at one meeting. During the year
twelve members have not missed a
rehearsal. The secretary. Miss Anna
McKelvey, has not missed a rehear
sal since the organization was form
ed eight years ago.
The choral rendered music and
valuable religious services at the fol
lowing places: Enola, Blain, Pen
brook, Mechanicsburg, Steelton,
Wormleysburg, Camp Hill, Eberly's
Mills. Sunbury and Paxtang,
Following is a list of honorary
