This third I devoted so much of their time and presentation of “The Messiah” was | effort to such a concert. Soloists for “The Messiah” were: certainly the finest done by the; best of its Society and probably the fice performances since ization. The choral group has its organ- improved greatly. It is difficult to select a single work which stood out in excellence, but perhaps from the listener point “For Unto Us “Surely, He Griefs,” were of view the choruses a Child is Born” and Hath Borne Our most impressive.

The audience Friday; evening was drawn from many towns of the Eastern Carolinas and] people generally are noting the formance of Caroline Buie. Hers is a glorious voice which she handles artistically. It was her first com plete Messiah performance, and it was most satisfying, in fact, prob ably the most completely satisfac tory performance of ..the evening. This fine young artist should re ceive the encouragement due her in large quantities, especially from her friends here. Miss Lehnerts and Mr. Topping are both well known here and nationally for their fine work in oratorios and their performances again delighted the audience. Accompanists were: Mrs. Robert Topping, organist and Miss Alice Walker, of Raeford, who provided fine support for the soloists and the chorus.—K.
