Walter Shaffer to Speak
at Olivet Presbyterian
At last Sunday's observance of
Father and Son Day in Olivet Sun
day school. Judge Samuel J. M. Jic-
Carrell spoke at a joint closing ex
ercise of all departments, pleading
for a fuller re-establishment of fam
ily altars as n means of raising bet
ter boys and girls; and for a greater
icspect of mother and father by the
boys and girls. William Rover sang,
by request. "The Rose of No Man's
Land;' 'and Ivatherine Klemm play
ed a piano solo. The attendance
was large, and to additionally carry
out the atmosphere of comradeship,
and in keeping with the day, candy
pops were freely distributed at the
close of the service, bearing the slo
gan, "I go to Olivet —a real, live,
likeable and growing Sundav
School."'
Plans are being laid for a Joint
monthly closing exercise on the
first Sabbath in March, when Walter
Shaffer, the Dauphin aviator, will
speak. It is expected that the ca
pacity of the school rooms will be
greatly taxed.
Miss Ruth Rraseinjan, superin
tendent of the primary departments,
has announced the advancement of
Miss Elizabeth Smith to Vie superin
tendent of tlie beginners' depart
ment, and the selection of Miss Flor
ence Hill to be an assistant in the
same department.
Sylvester Howard. the school
librarian, and his assistant. Lee
Lutz, are busy recataloguing the
library—occasioned by tlio addition
of. nearly two hundred volumes as
the result of the book social held on
Friday evening of last week. it
is expected that this work will be
completed within the next two or
three weeks.
With Choir and. Organist
Mrs. Charles A. Carl, formerly a
resident of Harrisburg, lias been
chosen soprano soloist of First Pres
byterian Church. Lancaster, and re
ports from that city show the wisdom
of Mr. Carl's selection. For a short
time, while the choir of Westminster
Presbyterian Church, this city, was
ir. process of reorganization, Mrs.
Carl was leading soprano and
charmed th e worshipers there by the
beauty of her voice. Mrs. Carl also
lias been soprano soloist of Zion Re
formed Church. Chombersburg: Grace
Lutheran Church, Witliamsport, and
of the Carlisle Lutheran Church. The
transferror the general offices of the
United Telephone and Telegraph
Company, of which Mr. Carl is gen
eral manager, from this city to I.an
caster, made necessary Mrs. Carl's
removal from the music circles of
Harrisburg.
Recently, Choir and Organist is
informed, the consistory of Fourth
Reformed Church, of which the Rev.
Homer Skyles May is pastor, de
cided upon improving the music of
the church, if possible, and to that
end planned the engagement of an
experienced leader, who in Wrn was
to organize a quartet choir. It de
veloped, however, that the expense
was considered prohibitive and the
plan, much to the regret of the con
sistory committee, had to be dropped
temporarily. A committee from the
church advised the Telegraph that it
was much to be regretted that the
church finances would not permit the
carrying out of the program. It Is
well known that the war, with its
vraied demands on congregations
throughout the country, has criptlled
many prosperous congregations and
that a sufficient time has not elapsed
to enable t orecoup their losses.
Choirmaster George A. Hutman, of
Second Reformed Church, has lilt
upon a noval plan to stimulate mu
sical interest in that congregation.
Mr. Hutman Is convinced that not a
few people find their way Into the
pews of the church Sundays who
would like to sing with the choir end

lie has arrange(4,a way by which they
may make known their desire. All
that is necessary to do is to advise
the choirmaster by printed card of
their intention and they are wel
comed to the first rehearsal after the
card has been received. The choir
of Second Reformed Church is an ex
cellent organization and )Ir. Ilutmin i
long has given it his best services. ]
Something must be radically wrong
when tllere are 4 not several anthems
and at least one individual number !
on its program, for this earnest di- j
rector gives enough time out of a .
busy week to outline a splendid mu

At Christ Lutheran Church to-mor

more beautiful Incidental solo writ
ten than the thrilling verse. "On
ward we go, but still we hear them
singing" which occurs in this num
ber: likewise, the verse beginning,
"Far, far away." Miss Steinauer, di
rector of Christ choir, has made a
most happy selection In choosing this
number, notwithstanding its general
usage, for the evening service.
John P. Gibson, tenor, will be heard
to-morrow evening at Bethlehem Lu

the Wicked Cease From Troubling."
"But the Lord Is Mindful of His

which is given with the simplicity
and baauty that characterise* many
of Mendelssohn'* works-
