“The Easter Message."
Beautiful Cantata Rendered
In Lutheran Church.
The rendition of the cantata, “The
Easter Message,” by the choir of the
Lutheran church was successful in every
way. A large audience was present and
enjoyed the efforts of the singers.
The music of the cantata is pleasing
and calls for solos' duetts, full choruses,
etc., and individual choruses for both
men and women, and as such it was well
rendered. It treats of the triumphant
entry of Christ into Jerusalem, followed
by His death and passion and ends in the
thought of His resurrection and the final
victory.
The solo parts were taken by Mrs.
Etta Damuth Marlin, Miss Hazel Wolfe,
and Messrs. Clarence Creeger and Paul
Beard. A duett was sung by Mrs. Mar
tin and Miss Wolfe, and a quartette with
obligato solo by Mrs. Norman Fogle,
Miss Mamie Isanogle, Messrs. Grayson
Palmer and George Damuth.
This is the second cantata given under
the auspices of the same persons, they
having rendered successfully a similar
cantata a year ago. Both cantatas were
given under the direction of Mrs. Etta
Martin and the resultant success speaks
■well for her training and indefatigable
and intelligent efforts in behalf of the
same. Miss Maude Weller was the
efficient accompanist.
Such efforts as that of Sunday night
are to be highly commended for they are
not only enjoyed from a musical stand
point but they emphasize the festival
seasons and take their places as educa
tional forces.
It is to be hoped that other musical
treats will be offered in the future by
this same aggregation of singers. In
addition to those mentioned the following
assisted in the singing: Mesdames V. B.
Osier, Charles Osier, Clarence Creeger,
Edgar Peddieord, Misses Bessie Martin,
Ethel Foreman, Grace Hauver, Violet
Elower, Irene Fogle, Messrs. Chambers
Creeger, Wilson Pryor, Lester Damuth.
Rev. A. L. Oerter Dead.
Rev. Albert L. Oert 'r, who for a num
ber of years resided in Graceham and
later in Thurmont, died suddenly Satur
day, April 10th, 1915, at his home in
Nazareth, Pa., to which place he moved
from Thurmont. His death is said to
have been caused by an attack of acute
indigestion.
Rev. Oerter was one of the best known
Moravian ministers in this country and
was the oldest alumnus of Nazareth
Hall. After graduating from the Morav
ian Seminary he was principal of the
College for Women at Salem, N. C.
Later he served as pastor of congrega
tions at Canal Dover, Ohio; Salem, N.
C.; and Brooklyn, N. Y.
While residing in Graceham, he wrote
a history of the Moravian church at that
place and published same after moving
to Nazareth. He was much liked by all
who knew him.
Rev. Oerter is survived by a son, Rev.
Morris Oerter, of Sharon, Ohio, and one
daughter. Miss Mary Oerter, who has j
many close friends in Thurmont. One
brother, Bishop Edmund Oerter, of Canal
Dover also survives.
Funeral services were held Monday
evening at his home in Nazareth and also
in Lititz Moravian church on Tuesday
afternoon, interment being made at
Lititz.
Celebrated Birthday.
On Saturday last Dr. Jas. K. Waters,
president of the Citizens Savings Bank
of this place, celebrated his 77th birth
day. Besides receiving congratulations
from many of his friends he was the re
cipient of a beautiful bouquet of carna
tions, 77 in number. On Sunday Dr, and
Mrs. Waters were entertained at dinner
at the home of his son, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles C. Waters. Mr. and Mrs. John
Waters and their son-in-law and daugh
ter, Mr. and Mrs. William Schindler, all
of Baltimore, were also present on this
occasion.

only a young man and practically a stu
dent, is winning the esteem of all who
have met him, and shows by his walk
and talk that his one and only aim is to
be about his master’s work. He has the
wishes and prayers of the entire congre
gation for a successful career and can
feel assured that not he alone will be ex
pected to work but that he can fully de
pend upon a hearty co-operation with his
congregation.
