His travels have often brougbt him to Canada. In this special jubîlee con- cert, he was joined by the Christian Choir "Praise The Lord" directed by Leendert Kooy and by the brass quartet consisting of Bill Kooy, Harry Kooy, Annette van Noord and Herman Vander Beek. After opening the evening, choir president Mr. C. Nobel announced a few program changes. The audience broke into an amused chuckle when it was found that every organ selection had been changed. When Mr. Asma entered, he looked frail and tired -fromn what was undoubtedly an exhausting schedule, but there was nothing frail or tired about his playing. t was as powerful and energetic as ever.

From Brahm's "Protestant Requiem" they sang "How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings" and from "The Seasons" by Haydn-"God of Life." Es- pecially these last two were verv well done. At the end of the program the soprano soloist, Mrs. Schoute received a surprise, a floral tribute in thanks for the many years of dedicated work. Besides ber tireless efforts in singing and helping othérs sing, performing beau- tifully even while seriously ill on more than one occasion, she's made many unacknowl- edged contributions behind '-the scenes such as designing and making maternity tops hardly distinguishable from the regulatioip blouses. t was a well deserved gesture. That it was a very enjoyable evening was evident from the entbusiastic applause at the end. Mr. Asma shared in it by ini turn applauding the choir, a gesture both comical and touching.
