THE .CHOIR IN '.S.URPLICE,
The choir of the Ontario stree'
church is orthodox, decidedly so, but
it is main a deparitere as far as
adornment is -concerned.. To be more
explicit, it will don the surplice on
Christmas Sunday when a service of
song will be given. This will be, so
far as we know,, the . first and only
trirpliced choir in Huron. There may
be other choirs that are the peer of
this one, but there are. .none .better
hereabouts, As a matter of fact, the
town in general aid the church inpar-
ticular isproud of it. .
