Rechab Tandy was in his old place in Queen Street Methodist church choir on Sunday night. Twenty-five years ago he and his lamented brother, Wil- liam, were kindred attractions, sing- ing with great beauty and under- standing. Last night before a large audience Mr. Tandy again gave evi- dence of his gifts and delighted all with the richness, clearness and vigor of his songs. He sang three times dur- ing the service, "The Lord is My Light," being the gem of the three. After the benediction he gave a short recital, rendering "The Lord is My Shepherd"; "A Clean Heart'; "The Recessional'"; "The Lost Chord' and "Glory to Thee My God." In all his numbers he showed richness of expres- sion and shading, and in the full pas- sages a roifnece of 'tone that gave manifest evidence of the complete con- trol of the voice. Mr. Tandy has sel- dom been heard to better advantage than last night. EREATHE HELP FOR CATARRH Druggist G. W. Mahood is Having Splendid Reports From ~Hyomej Users.
