1862 1912 Fiftieth Anniversary of the Second United Presbyterian Church of Monmouth, Celebrated October 20-27, 1912 The celebration of a lialt-century ' s work by the Second United Presbyterian Church began with Communion Service on Sabbath, October 20. Wed- nesday evening was given over to an historical re- view of the Church in its various departments. On Friday evening a sumptuous Fellowship Dinner was spread in the Banquet Room of Wallace Hall, at which about four hundred were present. A resume of the Church ' s history, the outline of its present status and influence, and its prospect for the future were ably handled in the Toast Program. On Sab- bath, the 27th, a fitting close to the week ' s program was reached in the two anniversary sermons preach- ed by Rev. T. C. Pollock, D. D., of Philadelphia, a former pastor. Six able leaders comprise the list of those who have ministered to this congregation: Rev. Alexander Young, D. D., 18U2-1871. David A. Wallace, D. D., 18«2-18G8. I Co- Pastors. D. iM. Ure, D. D., 1S72-1S74. W. T. Campbell, I). D., 187. .-19(ll. Rev. Thomas C. Pollock, D. D., liioi-lllll. Rev. George C. Vincent, 1911-l!n:i. With full consent of the parent organization, the First Church, the Second Cliurch was organized October 2. ' , 1862, with a Rev. Rev. Rev. charter membership of twenty-one. During its fifty T| years of activity, the Second Church has received i,370 persons into its membership, the present mem- bership being 409. The congregation worshipped at first in the chapel of .Monmouth College, but in 1867 a frame building was erected, which was replaced in 1S79 by the present building. This is a red brick structure of two stories, with Sabbath School room on the first floor, and auditorium above. The Women ' s and Young Ladies ' Missionary Societies, the Young People ' s Work and the Sabbath I School represent phases of church activity. The Second Church is represented on the foreign field by Rev. ,1. W. Ballantyne. as foreign pastor in India. Second Church likewise extends her influ- ence through t ' lie ( ' (Hcient work being done by her j Uaushter Church, the Ninth .- venue Congregation of Monmouth. Many, both of students and of alumai will cherish ibe memory of the Second Church as their church- home durlug college days. The Church, too, receives inspiration from the fellowship and enthusiasm of student workers.

Musical Events. The Artist Course. Other Musical Events. « »r HIS YEAR ilonmouth has att ' orded to its music lovers 1 and those who wish to cultivate a taste for the best music, ample opportunity to hear some of the excellent talent of the country. Prof. T. Merrill Austin, the director of the Monmouth College Conservatory, was indeed fortunate In procuring for the first num- ber of the series of Artist Recitals Silvio Scionti, the Italian pian- ist. His work was marked by its brilliancy and the enthusiasm with which he entered into it and bis technique was remarkable. Gustaf Holmquist, the Swedish baritone, appeared on the second recital. He pleased his audience particularly with his inter- pretation of the Swedish folk songs. The Pasmore Trio gave a most enjoyable ensemble concert. The trio are said to stand alone in the perfection of their ensemble work. The last number on the course was very successful. Miss Lamb as pianist displayed brilliant technical ability, versatility and a fine interpretation of her art. Dorothea North has a beauti- ful voice of great flexibility and dramatic power. The faculty recital rendered during the first of the year by Miss Thomas, piano, Miss Finley, violin, and Mr. H. Wylie Stewart, tenor, showed that Monmouth College might well be proud of her Conservatory Faculty. The Choral Society has given two excellent entertainments. At the winter concert, besides a miscellaneous program, the chorus sang Gades ' beautiful .work, The Erl King ' s Daughter. For the May Festival, Mrs. Mabel Sharp Herdien took the leading role in Mendelssohn ' s Lobgesang. In the afternoon the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, assisted by a group of prominent soloists, gave a grand concert. Monmouth College also appreciates her orchestra, which, under the enthusiastic leadership of .Miss Blnley, has done splen- did work. The annual concert was greatly enjoyed. The Glee Club is almost a new organization. The Home Coming ended its second season of successful work. The program was characterized by some of the most bea utiful as well as some of the most ludicrous songs and ballads.
