The service was conducted without announcement and following the or- gan prelude by Mrs. Alexander, the congregation stood for the singing of the hymn “Jesus Shall Reign.” The first choir number, a favorite of many. people, was “Sanctus”, by Gound, with Mr. Ehler singing the solo. The program moved forward smoothly through variations that maintained the congregations inter- est. In the choir number, “In Heaven Above”, Mrs. Evelyn Hollman had an obligato solo, while a mixed quartet composed of Eunice Nevin, Lucille Stonehouse, Ernest Ehler and | Herbert Hillerman sang three num- bers. Evoking the awe and deep rever- ence of the Holy Week season were the solos “There Is A Green Hill” by Gounod, “Thy Rebuke Hath Broken His Heart” and “Behold and See” from “The Messiah” by Handel which were sung by Ernest Ehler near the middle of the program, The last two selections reverted to joyous praise when Mr. Ehler ROTARANS ASK |ection of Eric Sundsten, was the or- pite the not-so-good conditions,! pupils. e e LIONS TO HELP TICKET SELLING, The Lions at their regular noon luncheon today, agreed to help the 'Rotarians sell tickets for the forth- ,coming Rotarian show to benefit Boy and Girl Scouting in the com-! munity.
