DELIGHTFUL CANTATA.
The choir of Carmel Presbyterian
Church, Hensali, motored down, 35
strong, on Monday evening and ren-
dered' the cantata "The Living
Christ," at Caven Church, under
the auspices of the Logie Circle. A
short concert of song and reading
preceded the main program and
proved theversatility as well as the
high standard of excellence which
the choir has attained. The cantata
was a succession of solos, duetts,
trios and quartettes, interspersing
choruses and all were .rendered with
artistic taste and harmonic preci-
sion which reflected great credit, not
.only on the leader and his capable
organization, but also in a marked
degree on several of the individual
meanbers.

Editor Exeter Times: I noticed in
last week's edition of the "Times"
that you referred to an Exeter ball.
team. It is just this that I wish
to speak about.
Th real sporting spirit of Exeter'
was aroused last winter when the
0.E.A. Hockey team was organized,
as evidenced by the large crowds
which packed the, rink when the
boys in "gold and green" skated on
the ice to do battle with their op-
ponents. Then why should trot those
sporting people support a ball team,
whether a senior or a junior outfit
furnish the fun?
The business men stood nobly be-
hind the hockey players and Would
no doubt he willing to help along a
ball club.
It is a question whether a senior 1,
organization could be gotten togeth-
er or not; but a junior team would`
be an easier matter. With good men
at the head of such a wealth of ma-
terial, and we have it, the thing
would surely go„ All the boys need.
is someone who knows the game.
and is willing to put a little time to
it and keep them in place.
Two years ago some real junior
baseball was given the people when
a church league was formed,' con-
sisting of one team from Exeter,
Dashwood, Centralia, respectively,
and two, teams from Crediton. Exe-
ter won that series and. never lost -
a game, alth'ougli some of them were
real close, .taxing the athletes to the
limit to pull ,a win, Why could not
a similar league ,be 'organized? If
such a church league could not he
organized, then a junior town league
having, say, the age limit twenty-
one, would fill the hill and give Exe-
ter ball fans some good, snappy
baseball this summer.
This is the age of advertising and
what would help boost the town
more than a real live ball team?
Think it over.
Thanking you kindly for your
space, I am,
Yours truly,
A BELIEVER.

derbrand, who died on Monday, of
