Friday evening, November 22nd, the Baptist Sunday School had an entertainment, to which THE HERALD man was, of course, invited; and he went, with a goodly crowd of others, notwithstanding the exceedingly tempetuous weather.
The programme was as varied as it was lengthy--so much so that quite a number of pieces had to be omitted. However, the parts of the programme given were excellent, and at quarter past ten o'clock the audience still asked for more. The parts in which the children participated were enjoyed very much, and showed considerable care in training them. Little Jennie LEWIS sang a beggar girl song, in costume, in a manner which charmed the audience. The tableaux were very good, notably so was the one "Simply to Thy Cross I Cling." There was a local hit in the shape of a "Model Literary Society," which was said to be dedicated to the late Sharpsburg Lyceum-- a thrust in the dark. The other recitations, songs, etc., were well rendered, and deserve a more extended notice, but our space forbids. However, on the whole, it was quite a success, and was indeed an entertaining entertainment. The audience said so by sending up a petition, three feet long, asking that it be repeated on Saturday evening. Accordingly, it was done, and the second was even better than the first.
The young people of the Baptist Church certainly deserve credit for furnishing cheap entertainments. Sometime ago they had a free one and at this one the price of admission was put within the reach of all.
