Mir Parsons Recital.

Mir, F, A, Parsons gave the first of two ooncert-recltals at the Church of the Messiah last evening before an au- dience that completely filled the audi torium MT. Parsons is more modest than some of his less successful con- temporaries, and does not essay to en- certain an audience for an entire even ing by his own unaided efforts. Varie- ty of interest was added to the program through the singing of Miss May Low eridge, the violin playing of Miss Re becca Wilder Holmes, and MT. Richard Percy's organ playing. MT. Parsons played with his usual taste and skill a program of his own compositions. The most important of these, his Concerto Chevalresque, was beautifully played. The arrangement of the orchestral score for the organ was effectively per formed by MT, Percy, and the contrast between the solo and accompaniment was decided advantage. MT. Parsons played a group of new compositions and one of his more familiar works, and was warmly applauded. Miss Low eridge sang as her first number Victor Harris "Madrigal," instead of the Love Song" by Mrs. Beach. Miss Low eridge is one of the most promising young singers in town. Later she sang an Ave Maria" by MT. Parsons. Miss Holmes played the "Adagio" from Bruch's second concerto, a favorite with all violinists. Miss Wilder has har1lv the finish ar feeling for an ade- quate performance of a work of so much depth of sentiment. But she has good, firm tone and shows that her training is that of the best school She also played with considerable spirit the Zarzycki "Mazourka." MT. Percy play , ed an arrangement of Griez nocturne and Gilmans '"Torchlight March" and his registration was clever and expert as usual. His accompaniments were sympathetic and musicianly.

hand; accepting as truth every state
ment made by him; in all respects bear
ing himself toward his father in trust.
confidence, loyalty, reverence, as We
try to stand in our relations to God
The father does not assume this atti-

Is the man, knowing his poor acquire.
ments. his narrow limitations, his faul-
~ character and imperfect life, to fos-
ter this ideal? There con,es a day

honest with his boy. Let the bov I'M
derstand that his father has not forgot
ten the days of his own youth. Let the
boy feel that his father wants to be his
close companion and friend as well as
his counselor and guardian.
Don't be a hypocrite before your boy.
