..t4 ,g penti0n. .-.. M

This body closed its session at Balti-
more on Monday evening. The attend
ance was very large, thirty States repre-
scented. Canada, Nova Scotia and En-
gland sent q strong body of7laymen and
ministers to cooperate with their Amer
ican cousins in the Sunday school work.
Great unanimity and harmony prevailed
and many subjects of vital Importance to
the cause of early religious education
were eably and thoroughly discussed. One
OF the most hopeful and interesting fea-
lures OF the Convention was the large
attendance from the Southern States aud
the cordiality with which they acted
with their Northern brethren. P-oY
Old Massachusetts and South Caro-
lima, shoulder. to shoulder, marched to
the union of all Christians in heart and
effort to educate the youth ot our
country in the nowledge, love and fear
of God. I'm this feeling and spiritsO un-
mistakably manifested, we saw the ap-
proach of the restoration of amicable re-
jlation and cordial cooperation between
the North and South in the Church and
in the State, and. the restoration of the
better days of the Republic, as in the
times of our Fathers. The hospitality OF
Baltimore was taxed, but it was not
found wanting, abundant, generous and
hearty. The delegates were perfectly at
home among their Baltimore bre thren,
and in. their society greatly enjoyed.

The great May Festival, the musical
event Of 1915. closed triumphantly yes
terday evening, having been q magnif-
cent success in every particular. The
receipts have been considerably in ad.
vance of the expenditures, and the at.
tendance has, been made UP from. such a
class of citizens as to make the Festival
an especially marked event, beyond and
entirely distinct from the ordinary class
OF musical entertainments, while the
order of music rendered and the talent
exhibited has been an, honor to the
singers, the orchestra the leader and
the appreciatiye. public, and especially
so to the managers who have planned
and carried out the affair to SO complete
and glorious an ending.
The matinee yesterday was largely at.
tended and thoroughly appreciated by
| the intelligent audience. Mr.. .Whitney's
I"In questa toniba" was well rendered,
while his ''Ruddier than a cherry" was
an especial success, and elected hearty
!applause. Miss Whinnery's '.Dpve
Sono" was perhaps her most complete
success. Mr.. Winch's aria from Men
delssohn was sung with much warmth
and feeling. and was highly applauded
by the audience. The quarlettes by
Misses Millinery and Cranch, anu
Mrs, Smith and Miss Carey, and Messrs
Bischof andW hinnery, were the finest of
the season, and ELECTED much enthu-
siasm. Miss sCranch gave beautiful
aria from Gluck's .'Orpheus" with much
feeling and excellent taste. Miss Carey's
"Pieta, pieta," was most favorab1y re-
ceived by the audience, and an encore
was strongly insisted on, but firmly re-
fused by the cruel Thomas.
In the evening the hall was again
packed, large numbers being compelled
to stand. There were perhaps not as
many in attendance as on Thursday
night. but more than enough to satisfy
the management and the singers. The
late arrivals were not as numerous as
on former occasions, and better order
was observed in the seating and dis
posing Of the crowd. f
4 Schuberps Ninth Symphony was the
first ON the programme, and will proba-
bly, be first IN the remembrance of those
who attended last evening. The compo-
sition is very fine, and the rendition was
probably as complete as was ever
listened to in any country and under
any circumstances.
Mr.. Thomas exhibits his excellent
sense OF proprieties by checking undue
applause, and by repressing it altogether

music; and for this he should have the
thanks OF musical critics in particular,
and listeners in general.
The selections from Wagner's "Wal-
1ueres were given with much spirit, Mr..
Remmertz winning especial honors in
the "Magic Fire Scene."
The closing, work, Listz's sProme-
theus," was especially fine, and the So
loists and chorus won q triumph fitting
to the close OF SO grand success as our
Musical Festival has been.
Much credit should be given the man.

success OF the whole affair, and honor is
