ministers who speak with SO low IA tone

articulation and rcsound of utterance

ing place which ! suggest for this nine
teen hundrcdth anniversary let music
crown our Lord. Firing all the orches-
tras. all the orators, all the Philhar-
monte and Handel and Haydn societies
Then give us Haydn oratorio of
the creation, for our Lord took part in
universe building. and without him."

decoration on a scale never equaled. |
The fields and open gardens could not
