directed by Edw. J. Brandt, the grand
organ accompanies ent being played by
Miss Anna Brown, the organist. Those
who have heard all parts of this grand
Mass: Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus
and Agnus Del, which were rendered
on this occasion, can appreciate the
task of director, organist and singers,
the work being Of great length and
break In the intricate and grand work
meaning confusion. When successful,
however, as on this occasion, the music
together with the beautiful general
service makes deep and lasting i'm
preston. The Veni Creator, beau
tlful prayer, by E. Karst, was sung by
A. }. Whiting. The offertory, Lam
billottes' grand and joyful "Alleluia"
