who chose for his subject "The Cornerstone."
With this subject as a ba
sis, Dr. .Freed snowed tnat jesus was
the cornerstone of the chnrch. His
discourse throughout was a ^masterful
presentation of the subject.
. The pastor, the Rev. J. A. Cromer,
was assisted in the cornerstone services
by the Rev. 0. A. Freed, of Columbia;
the Rev. ?. L. Lybrand, of

Makes A Violin
Spartanburg Herald.
Rev. Dr. S. T. HalLnan, pastor of j
the Evangelical Lutheran churcn, has j
made a violin which is pronounced by j
expert cabinet-makers to be one of the
finest pieces of workmanship they ever
saw.
In.addition to being of splendid appearance,
moreover, tb? violin is expected
to have a remarkable clear soio
tone, partaking of the quality of the
quality of the human voice.
Inside the violin is an inscription
with Latin words wr>ieb, translated,
are: ''Glory to God in the highest!" j
tkq irwrinf.mji iii its entirety is as |
" r - ? follows:
Gloria in al Usui mis Deo!
Made by S. T. Haliroan, D. D.
Summer of 1!>11,
In his 67th year.
While in its general outline Dr.
Hallman's violin follows the lines of
a Stradivarias, he has attempted original
features with the idea of attaining
a nnalitv of solo tone not common in
" "1" .
ordinary violins and resembling the
human voice. This quality h.",B been
sought by cutting channels of peculiar
formation When tested with a tuning
fork the violin has responded in a j
gratifying manner.
The violin will be closed today, and !
Tir "Mailman will devote two or three I
weeks to staining and polishing it.
Dr. Hallman has himself made all
the fixtures fur the instrument, even
to the beDch clasps.
When he was a young man Dr. Hall- j
man learned to tune and repair accor- j
deons and cabinet organs, and has j
m^riv an nrcan reed.
