Here is a young man who is acâ€" claimed by the musical critics as "a person well able to rank with the best pianists® of today." But, conâ€" sider that he was born blind, and has never been able to see. At about 2 years of age he began to show such remarkable gifts for music that his family decided that his physical disability should not be allowed to interfere with his musical development. As Templeton grew older he was of the same mind. In spite of his handicap, and helped along by an extremely sensitive ear, Templeton progressed rapidly, until now he is placed with the top rank of piano artists. 7 Along with his mastery of the pianoforte goes a charming personâ€" ality. When the more informal part of his program comes, and this young blind Englishman begins to improvise; the audience finds in him a person of wit, humor, charm, and great &ppeal.

The members of the Comâ€" munity Chorus are working to make this first public offering really repâ€" resentative of the best Highland Park can give Highland Park. Another Highland Park singer, cooperating with the chorus in singâ€" ing the bass solos, is Joseph Redine. He is a soloist with the United Evâ€" angelical churches in Winnetka and Waukegan, besides singing at the Moody Bible institute in Chicago and on radio programs. Mr. Redines‘ interpretation of the mightiness of the Vision of St. John will be efâ€" fective.. The entire oratorio with the exâ€" ception of two hymns glorifying the life waiting the faithful in the Holy City, a verse from Milton, and three versés from the Te Deum, is made up of direct words from the Bible. Since the evening song and praise is open to the public Highland Parkers are urged to save the time Highland Park music lovers, and the greater public who may not realâ€" ize they are music lovers but who would enjoy the exaltation and tual comfort that comes from combination of the scripture set to beautiful harmony, are looking bl_'.llrd to hearing "The Holy City." To Appear May 9th In Concert Here The contralto solos, including the Weilâ€"known "Eye Hath Not Seen" .qvill. give Highland Parkers o Snpirtunity to hear ‘one of thoir own artists who has appeared: on many radio and club programs. For her latest program at the D.A.R. Mrs. Macfadden sang and played her own accompaniments on the harp. A member of the Music club and a graduate of the Northwestern School of Music, Mary Ann Macfadâ€" den appreciates the fine music this oratorio by Gaul offers. Prominent Soloists Forty singers will answer the reâ€" sponses in this oratorio. Mrs. Fred Okey will sing the soprano solos, Mary Ann Macfadden will sing the eontralto solos, the tenor soloist will be Thomas Thompson who comes out from Evanston each Sunday to ging in the Episcopal choir, and Joseph Redine will sing the bass solos. Rehearsals are under. the diâ€" rection of Russell Nelson, conductor of the Community Chorus. As a soloist â€" with the Chicago : Little Opera company and with the First Methodist Church of Wilmette, choir director and radio artist, Mr. Nelâ€" son‘s background means that those rehearsing with the group are reâ€" ceiving professional coaching. Those who have heard Mrs. Fred Okey sing are glad to have her inâ€" terpretation of the songs of praise found in the soprano solos. There is a spiritual clarity and sincerity to Mrs. Okey‘s singing which will contribute toward the audience‘s feeling of â€" exaltation. Mrs. Okey sang at the Elm Place school festiâ€" val and was a soloist with the Highâ€" land Park Music club in their reâ€" eent Ravinia program. Singers from the church choirs and talerited soloists are cooperatâ€" ing with the Community Chorus sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. in order to make this sacred cantata presenâ€" tation something really fine and moteworthy.

Swinging merrily along to the tune of the best songs ever written, "On the Avenue," represents Irvâ€" Rev,. H. F. Siemsen Starts 9th Year * at Bethany Church Rev. H. F. Siemsen, pastor of the Bethany Evangelical church and Mr. Wm. Guyot, returned from an very eventful church conference which was held at Ottawa, IIL., durâ€" ing the past week. The Ottawa conâ€" ference was the 93rd annual gatherâ€" ing of Evangelical ministers and laymen in Hlinios. At this conclave reports were given of the work that has been accomplished during the past year, and new plans were formulated for the year ahead. One of the advance steps taken was the authorization of a fine new church building at the South Shore Misâ€" sion in Chicago. One of the interâ€" esting things noted at the conferâ€" ence was the new enthusiasm that is evident in church work throughâ€" out the state, also the marked inâ€" erease .in missionary and benevoâ€" lent contributions. The conference elosed Sunday afternoon at which time the pastors were given their assignment for the coming year. Rev. H. F. Siemsen was again asâ€" signed to the Bethany Evangelical church of this city. This is Rev. Siemsen‘s ninth year at Bethany. Bethany church has made remarkâ€" able progress during the past 12 years. Their splendid new church was completed and dedicated on April 14, 1929,. The present pastor came to Bethany two weeks after the dedication of the new building. At that time the congregation carâ€" ried a debt of $76,000 on their propâ€" erty. This amount was a heavy load following the crash of 1929 and the general period of unemployment. Yet in the midst of all of this, through the generous gifts of the members and friends of the chirch this entire amount was liquidated on December 31, 1931, and a great celebration for the burning of the mortgage â€"was held in February, 1982. During the past year, through gifts that eame, it was possible for the congregation to build an addiâ€" tion to their church, to provide a modern home for their pastor and his family. ‘Not only has the church made iprogress in their material equipment, but it has beep making a splendid contribution to the moral and spiritual development. of. the community. ‘The attendance of the church at its morning worship servâ€" ice has nearly doubled ltuxhdurlug the past 8 years and all er deâ€" partments of â€" the church have grown. , At the ‘recent Ottawa conférence it was voted to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the First Evangelical church in IIliâ€" nois, which took place at North Northfield, 7 miles from Highland Park, 100 years ago. This celebraâ€" tion will take place Sunday, July 25, 1987,at the Northfield church, at. which time a suitable marker will be unveiled"* Bishop G. E. Epp and Bishop Emeritus S. P.
