Much credit is due also to ^ " Mr3 Bennie Duke, who presided at " " the organ, with the assistance of to I Messrs Scott and Prevatte on the : violin and guitar. It would be sim- in ply an impossible thing to decide di ? which dialogue or tableau brought b? forth the greatest applause. The D J crowd was there to see and enjoy, and it was not disappointed. From ps Bethel, Workman and Lake City | ^ many friends came to hear and en- j _ j courage our little band of faithful i boys and girls. And they especi-l ally enjoyed the closing act, "The . Mischievous Nigger," by Mr Ben [ Frierson. Even for the old folks, it at f "was good to be there." Here ~ 7 special mention should be made of the pantomime?"Nearer, My God, to Thee," the three white robed figures grouped in silent devotion in the dim light, while a male quar- In tette sang the beautiful hymn be; hind a closed curtain. But more ' soul-stiring was the tableau?"Sweet : Hour of Prayer." Three wee tots, A in flowing robes, kneeling with up lifted eyes and clasped hands brought i to our minds and hearts the words th i of the Master, "Of such is the king- ar dom of heaven."
