Friday January 5,1906 QUANTONG (from our correspondent) The church which was brought here from Wail a short time ago is nearly re-erected by the contractor, Mr R. SISSON, and will shortly be ready for use by the Church of England people here in connection with St. Aidan's, Natimuk. A concert and tea meeting was held on Christmas evening by the Methodist people in aid of the chapel, and although the night was very hot the hall was crowded, many standing in the doors. The entertainment opened with a quartet by Messrs HOYLE, and HOWELL and Mrs YOST and Miss ASPLIN. A duet followed by Mr HOSKING and Miss McKENZIE, who had come from Horsham to assist, the former being famous, especially as a "Glory" singer affected by Mr ALEXANDER, of revival fame. Miss McKENZIE has a fine contralto voice, which blended very finely with Mr HOSKING'S in "He is so precious to me," eliciting an encore, to which they responded with, "There's honey in the Rock for you". Mr E. J. SANDERS followed with a sacred song, with quartet chorus, well rendered. Mr LYNCH sang "The Holy City". Miss Freda SANDERS gave a short poetical recitation, as also did her sister Aggie, very nicely, but not with sufficient modulation, being said rather than recited. Mr HOSKING sang "Fathers keeping," and Miss McKENZIE also gave a solo " May God be with you" both being finely rendered. Mr W. HOWELL sang "A dream of Bethlehem" and Mr W. H. HOYLE "Nazareth," while Miss ASPLIN also gave a solo. Mr HOSKING and Miss McKENZIE sang "Jesus promised me a home, " which received a loud encore, to which they responded with, "Dear to the heart of the Shepherd." The chair was occupied by the Rev. Mr PAYNE in his usual humorous and capable manner. The accompaniments were played by Mrs YOST, and Mrs NETHERWAY and Miss ASPLIN, and a vote of thanks to the performers was carried with applause on the motion of Mr HARRIS.
