While in New Orleans, last week, wereceived
q cordial and pressing invitation to attend the
Lenten services at st. Anue's Church. We &C.
copied with many thanks, and, on Tuesday,
the 3rd inst, found ourselves within the sacred
precincts of that beautifully built and artisti-
cally arranged place of worship, st. Anne's
Church. The congregation, composed of the
elite of the Crescent City, was quite large
state, at the close of the pathetic and we'll
delivered sermon of the Rev. Father MiguoS of
the Cathedral. He chose as text: 1.-THE
Prodigal Son "--and handled it in q most mas
terly manner. Theceremonies were performed
by the Rev. Father Tumoino, pastor of the
Church. Before the Benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament" the congregation was
edited by selected pieces from the most dis
tinguished composers, such as Mozart, Meyer
beer, etc. 1t was really splendid, and we can
not remember being so completely enthralled
by the power of music before. Several voices,
remarkable for their beauty, blended in har
monious unison in the magnificent so!
Sslutarisn The charming and accomplished
Miss Theresa Cannon, organist of the Church,
possesses o beautiful meszosoprano voice,
and purity. Her remarkable talent-it would
not be too much to say genius-is well recog-
nized, and she is always certain of being ad-
mired by those who have had the felicity to
have the demon of WEAKNESS exercised by the
divine influence of music through her. She is
always appealed to. when concerts and Chart
table Fairs are given, and the appeal is never
in vain. Although very young, not yet ont of
her teens, she conducts the choir of st. Anne's
Church with skill and management which
deserves the greatest praise.
