On Saturday evening, Septem

Director of Music at Chowan Col
lege and teacher of piano, gave
delightful piano recital.
It was an appreciative audienc
that assembled under the branch
es of the oak trees just outsid
to enjoy the music broadcaste
from the front of Love Cottage.
The program was made up of a
group of high-class and beautifu
selections. Professor Tinsley dis
played in each rendition a pro
found and beautiful tone with ad
mirable technique. His interpreta
tion was intelligent, and his sens
of rymthm was firm and clear.
Opening with a Bach number
the program included a Sonata
Opus 13, by Beethoven, whicl
showed well developed powers o
the musician. “Whims,” by Shu

and were played with a sensibilitj

Irief legend on a tiny tablet buil
in the stone wall, “Quo Vadis, Do
mine”? Certain insufficient evi
dence is cited to support the pop
ular story that the impetuous Pe
ter, fleeing from a violent death
met a vision of the Savior on this
-wayside spot and heard his low
reponse “I go to be crucified.”
Leaving the shining presence,
the next moment the distressed
apostle hastens on to voluntary
martyrdom at Rome. In his char
acteristic humility, he prayed for
crucifixion with head downward,
deeming himself unworthy the
manner of his Lord’s suffering.
