Choir singers should not concertlze or attempt to compete with the the ater , according to Rev. J. C. S. Wellls of Norfolk , pastor of Trinity Episco pal church In this city. When choir music becomes a mere entertainment God Is cheated and the people are fooled , says Mr. Wellls In "sugges tions" given to choir members In a new parish year book which Is about to be issued. Following Is the text of his suggestion : "The Ideal of an earnest choir Is service. It Is not the function of the church singer to concertize. The praise Is offered to God nnd not the congregation. When the musical part of the service becomes a mere enter tainment God Is cheated , the people are fooled nnd the performers are out of place. The church cannot and ought not to compete with the theater or concert hall. One is for worship , the other for self pleasure. Ono looks Godward , the other manward. " RANDALL A DELEGATE.

Hetoro their discovery the robbers uid rilled every drawer In the dining oem adjacent to the room where Mrs. 'raft slept unroiiRplous of their pros- nee. They collected sllvorwuro but 'ailed to execute the attempted burg- ury. Awakened by Burglar. Mrs. Cruft was uroused from her slumbers by the smell of chloroform ircsscd against her face and the steal- .hy movement of an arm searching joncnth her pillow. Throwing her lauds up , her lingers came In unex K-cted contact with an electric light lobe hanging near her bed. In an in slant it was Hashed on , revealing for hesitating second the outline of a naskcd burglar , a young man of blight figure. The youth , as he appeared , rushed nto the dining room closely followed ) y Mrs. Craft , who , revolver In baud , lashed on the dining room lights with a switch near her bed room door. A second robber , cursing the luck of the younger man , was Hooded by the second end rush of light. Both men rushed through a side leer onto a screened porch , the older man first flinging behind the bundle of silver they had collected. On the lorch the two floundered around for : ho door of the walled-ln porch.

VETERANS OF CIVIL WAR ATTEND IN A BODY. AT THE METHODIST CHURCH Rev. J. L. Vallow Delivered a Sermon to Veterans of the Civil War , Paying a Tribute to the Valor of Their Deeds to Save the Union. [ From Monday' * Dally. ) Members of Mathewson post No. 10 ! , 0. A. R. , and the Indies of the Woman's Relief Corps nttended In a body the Memorial Sunday services held Sunday morning at the Meth odist church. Rev. J. L. Vallow , pastor of the church , delivering the annual sermon to the veterans assembled for the special services. The memorial sermon , Mr. Vallow said , had a place apart from the observances attendant to the exercises of Memorial day. It was the place , ho thought , for n ser mon on n religious topic Inspired by the presence of the veterans of the wars in a house set apart for the wor ship of Qod. Christ did not como to earth , Mr. Vallow said , to preach the peace and inlet of the cemetery. The ideas of Christ , ho said , had proved vitalized forces that had grappled In conflict with wrong , injustice nnd sin. Ho re viewed the history , the growth , the struggle of the Christian church. The cross of the Savior had arisen from he dust to supplant the royal eagle of Rome , religious Rome conquered : he hordes from the north though the Invaders conquered civil Rome , some thing of the democracy of Christ be came realized after feudalism had sup planted Imperialism only In turn to feel the might of the French revolu tion. It was Christ , como with his word of democracy flung Into the thoughts of man , who In this course of history checked the onsweop of Imperialism toward greater wrong and Injustice and whoso word prevented ensmlc order giving way to anarchy. T iday the Ideas of Christ still hold their aggressiveness. Mr Vallow paid tribute to the soldiers - diers of the sixties , speaking of the valor Miey displayed , the sacrifices the } n" > do and the deeds they dared in the f'ce of danger. The war whose call Hi v heeded in Its results and Its magnlt" stood out on the pages of the woii 's contests. The tribute which he ulil to the soldiers of the civil war. .V Vallow said ho had also for the nni'Molled thousands who in obscurity had fought and lived and died In the great light against unseen foes in the long line of church history.
