TWO OLD TIME SINGERS, i { Rendered a Duet In Queen Street | Methodist Church. i R.

A most interesting feature of the occasion was the singing of a duet "My Faith Looks Up To Thee." by Mr. Tandy and W. G. Craig. It was made a special interest from the {fact that in their early manhood years Messrs. Tandy and Craig were intimately associated for many years In local concerts and musical mat ters generally in this city.
