The Bucks Standard, February 16th 1895

ENTERTAINMENT. An entertainment was given on Wednesday, February 13, in the Carrington School by the Castlethorpe Branch of the S. James’ Happy Home Union. The first part of the programme commenced by the choir singing “Onward, young crusaders, “ followed by a recitation, “The trumpet,” by Willie Compton; a vocal duet, “From the belfry olden,” by Dorothy Whiting and Annie Luing; a song by the Rev. B. J. Corder “I heard sweet spirit sing,” with violin accompaniment by Miss Newbury; a recitation “Our daily bread,” Annie Luing; song, “ Funiculi Funicula,” Miss Gregory; piano solo, “ Violet Bells,” Dorothy Whiting. The second part of the programme consisted of a service of song, entitled “The children’s hour,” the Rev. W. J. Harkness reading the service. The Misses Gregory and Compton sang as a vocal duet “The Angels of our home,” a solo was given by Master Gregory, entitled “deal gently with that erring one,” and one by Miss Compton, “Beautiful Home.” The choir then concluded the service by singing the “Young Crusaders’ National Anthem.” The entertainment on the whole was very satisfactory, and we hope it will lead on to greater things, and that more of the children will join the Union.
