A Sociable and Entertainment.
A sociable and entertainment was held at the Ocean Hill Baptist Church, Rockaway avenue and Somers street, on Wednesday evening last. The sociable, which was held under the auspices of the joint societies of the church, was largely attended and a very enjoyable evening was spent. The following artists, all of whom are well known on the Hill, participated in the entertainment: The Misses Essie Preston, Carrie Rowe, Martha H. Lynas, Nellie Thompson, Mamie Malson, Martha Calvin, Lena Ryder and Messrs. Matt P. Frost, William Thompson and Harry E. Wade. The rendition of "The Voice of the People," by Miss Martha H. Lynas, was superb and elicited much merited applause. The Rev. Dr. Warren, who is supplying the pulpit in the absence of the pastor, the Rev. W. J. Mosier, made an address. Refreshments were served after the entertainment by the ladies. The committee were Harry E. Wade, Miss Lilian Duncan, Miss Marguerite Lynas and C. Payson Hunt.
