SOUTH CHURGH T0 | HONOR . C. BEEBE Organ Salection Is Dedicated to - Former Choir Leader Joseph C. Beebe, for a number of vears organist and choir leader at the South Congregational church will be honored at the dedication of the new South church organ, ac- cording to present plans. The new organist, Carl L. Bloom, successor to Mr. Beebe, has written a composition he has dedicated to his predecessor, which he will play at the dedication. No date for the dedication has Yeen set, unexpected delays In the completion of the organ having made it necessary to leave the of- icial dedication indefinite. CARL L. BLOOM Mr. Bloom is completing plans for the musical service and to this end has reorganized the choir guild, which functioned under the regime of Prof. Willlam . Laubin, another former director, some years ago. The mew gui'd is headed by Earle K, Bishop and is organized for the purpose of providing a chorus choir. RAIMONDE J. AUBREY The choir is growing from week to week, and members of the church already look upon it as a permanent institution. There is need for more altos and tenors, and Mr. Bloom has extended an invitation to any singers in the city to join the guild, The program for the dedication will be extensive in scope. In the morning service the choir will ren- der “In the Name of Our God,” by Lr. Healy Willan. . For the second number, a motet of Carl L. Bloom, will be featured. This motet combines the very an- cieut Palestrina idiom with that of the modern school. The work branches out into wight parts in places of special climax. The text selected is “Praise the Lord in the Beauty of His Holiness.” The idea in the composer's mind being to plant into music the wonders of the | new South church. For a prelude and postlude Mr. Bloom will play MEETS HERE MONDAY Sessions in South Church—Young People to Organize—Dr. B to Start Lomten Series Monday evening the Central Con- gregational club will hold its mid- | winter meeting in South Congrega- tional church of this city.

Pope Divided & World The Pope diyided the New World between Spain and Portugal, setting up an arbitrary line and awarded | Spain all land to the west, Portugal |all to the east.

The Jesuits, a religious organiza- lon to spread the teachings of Jesus, played a large part in the ex- ploration of this country. In their efforts to Christianize the natives they pushed far inland and were among the great explorers. One of these was the Frenchman, Jacques Marquette, a Jesuit father who was sent to Canada in 1666 and worked about the Great Lakes for a few years, He accompanied Joliet on an |expedition which traced its way {down Lake Michigan, over portages jand down rivers, and finally down |the Mississippl as far as Arkansas. |The 1-cent stamp of the United | States trans-Mississipp! issue (1898) |shows him on the Mississippt river | | He died in the course of a second | journey, | The Struggle in Canada | The struggle between France and {England for the domination of { the northern half of the new hemis- {phere had its repercussions in re.
