A two-part cantata, composed of 15 voices, performed “The Vision Eternal” at the Grove City Methodist Episcopal Church on Christmas eve.  A large crowd attended and it was reported to have been one of the best performances ever seen locally.  Naomi Mounts, dressed in a black gown dotted with stars, introduced each character; P. H. Borror was the soloist.
