Without waiting to be asked. but cut of his big generous heart, Harry Pep- pel, figuratively speaking, takes off his coat, rolls up his sleeves, and be- fore we fairly take in what he is doing, a fine chorus is organized. His devo- tion is as catching as the grip. The best singers of Norwalk are with him, and a Century Chorus with admirable Soloists from our home circle have given a charming rendering of one of the noted Scriptural Idylls, while a thousand and a half people are delight- ed, and ennobled by a new thrill of per- * sonal interest in the Beneficent Hospit- al work and one half a thousanl doi- lars goes into the 'l‘reasury.‘ What a fine example of a man inspir- ing others to do what each can best do and do it at his best for the relief of their suffering follows. The churches are of the 511.11.» spirit and their rooms are tendered free for purpose of re- hearsals and concerts. One dares not limit what..may. be done in a noble way. when our towns people are .once inter- ested, and each one does what he can best do. We have enjoyed these singers be- ., fore; many times they have given us great pleasure, but did not every listen- er have a larger conception of song when these men and women were ag- gregated in that masterful chorus? Why not preserve this magnified in- fluence for good?- The rendering of Rebekah was elevating, culturing and in every way for the better of our town life. Now why should we not have in the Norwalks an Oratorio Society, or- ganized deliberately and carefully, through this-spring and summer with good business management by enter- prising business :men, conducted by Mr. Pepper. who should bear none of the temporal responsibilities and cares. Under his instruction, the next winter might witness the rendering of two fine orator-ins, say one before Christmas and one towards spring. Each should be presented twice, one evening being given to each end of the town. Is not this project worth while? The Building Fund of the Hospital will doubtless be large enough by the" time the last bills are presented, to pay the cost of the fine new edifice with all its furnishings, but the work to be done ‘ ’ there will steadily increase and so the annual budget of expense for main: tenance will grow large. What could be more delightful than to. have such a charming ~ partnership between music and mercy year by year, and what say our musicians to the project thus hastily outlined? FRANK A.
