“The character of Caleb” will be 
the subject of the sermon at the Vil- 
lage church on Sunday morning, On 
Sunday evening, at 7.30 o’clock, Mrs. 
Mary, Cushing Palmer, A. M., of Bos- 
ton, will give a lecture on the Sea Is- 
landers, illustrated by old negro songs 
with violin accompaniment. Mrs. Pal- 
mer has’spent. four winters among the 
Sea Islanders of South Carolina in a 
region where eight-ninths of the peo- 
ple are black. These people, so. lit- 
tle known in the north, she _ said, 
are the surviving remnants of 
the old time darkey which must soon 
disappear. ‘Their little homes have 
been visited as well as their schools, 
both public and private, their churches 
and concert halls. From her experi- 
ences among’ them she has secured a 
fund of curious anecdotes and _ ser- 
mons which make the lecture both 
amusing and. interesting. Mrs, Pal- 
mer has also interested herself in the 
old African music and has. secured 
some of the old religious folk songs 
called “Spirituals” only recently pub- 
lished, also some genuine pickaninny 
lullabies. For many of these as well as 
for our familiar negro melodies she 
has arranged violin accompaniments 
The singing of these to illustrate dif- 
ferent portions of her lecture lends to 
it a pleasing variety. All are cor- 
dially invited. The subject of the 
Christian Endeavor meeting this eve- 
ning will be “The Called and The 
Chosen.”

comedy in three acts entitled “The 
District School at Blue Berry Cor- 
ners” will be presented at Library hall 
on Thursday evening, May 15, at 
eight o’clock by the young people of 
the Village church and others. Tic- 
kets are now on sale. Admission will 
be 25 cents for adults and 10 cents 
for children. ‘The proceeds will be 
devoted to the Christian Endeavor so- 
ciety. The young people have spent 
many hours during the winter rehear- 
sing for this play and everything pro- 
mises to be very successful. All are 
welcome. 
The Old Hand—This’ll give you an 
idea of wot things is comin’ to. Why 
a few years ago a tin like this would 
‘ave ’ad a couple of sardines in; p’r- 
aps three.—Punch.
