A. R. QUARTET MUCH ENJOYED IN 4TH PROGRAM BAPTIZING AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY IN INDIA One of the leading attractions at the celebration at the Mt. Scott Park on the Fourth was the G. A. R. quar tet, composed of Messrs. Joseph Henwood, J. S. Hamilton, J. E. Chambers and F. Varner. Mrs. J. S. Hamilton accompanied them at the piano. In the afternoon they sang “The Little Brown Church in the Vale” and “The Boys in Blue Are Growing Old." In the evening their selec tions were “Wave on. Old Glory”, “Old Black Joe” and “Unfurl the Flag.” / The presence of this quartet was a much appreciated link between the time when our nation’s freedom from slavery and her preservation to unity was secured and the present time when the world’s right to de mocracy was defended. No Fourth of July is complete without the pres ence of these men of the civil war. Mr. Hamilton was a cavalryman in a southern division; Mr. Varner was with Sherman’s army; Mr. Chambers was one of the army led by General Thomas, of Chattanooga fame. í AvB] i S' Ì 4ÌV *** This photograph, used through the courtesy of the ceutmary commission of the Methodist Episcopal church, shows the baptism of an . afire community iu India.
