Charity Concert Distributes $167

The "Charity Concert" given at St. Thomas church realized for the poor of our city the goodly sum of $167. The committee appointed to dispense the money gave to the Charitable Union $97; the Sewing School, under the direction of Miss Brown, $50, and $10 each to the two Hospital Circles of the King's Daughters, to be used for the sick of our own city.

The benevolent though, out of which the concert grew, originated with Father Kelly. To Professor Renwick, who gave so generously of his time and talent, is largely due its perfect execution. Much credit also belong to the choir of St. Thomas church and the distinguished soloists, who contributed greatly toward making the concert as beautiful as the thought that inspired it.

Let us indulge the hope that this successful entertainment may be only the first of many similar occasions, enriching the promoters not less than the recipients. 

"For the sum of a life's true living, 

Is not what our souls receive,

But the gain that is found in giving

We steadfastly believe."
