Special service — The vesper service in the Unitarian Church Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock was successful in every way, the musical part of the program being especially interesting. The singing of the choir was good while the solo work of Miss May Sincock and Mr. Archibald and the duet of Miss Sincock and Miss Burnham were especially pleasing. The address by the pastor was on “The Well-Dressed Soul.”
