Brilliant Programme Prepared for Next
Tuesday Evening.
The concert of the Loring Club an
nounced for the evening of Tuesday, April
q, promises to be one of the most interest
ing concerts which that club has given for
some considerable time.
The principal composition, on the pro-
gramme is q setting of Kingsley's "Long-
boards Saga" by Z. Hartford Lloyd, an
English composer of the front rank. This
is written for male voice chorus and piano
accompaniment (not for orchestra), and
the work appeals not only to the musician
but to the average listener.
The programme includes Billetsr's
Sunset" for tenor solo and male-voice
chorus, and Genee's Italian Salad" the
tenor solo in which will be sung by Frank
Coffin, while the solo in BilIeter's 'Sun-
set has been assigned to Mr.. Desmond.
Schubert's THE Gondo1iers" is a dainty
example of the genial composer whose
centenary has lately been universally hon
ored, and an admirable contrast TO this
on the present programme is Arthur
Foote's The Bedouin Love Song"
The club will have the assistance, as
soloisL, of Mrs. Edgar ]. MaImeren who
will MAKE her public temperance i'll the
San Francisco musical world on this oc-
casion. The accompanist of the evening
will be Mrs. Carmichael Carr, and D. P.
Hughes, the conductor of the club, will as
usual direct the concert.
The coming concert is thehthird Of the
twentieth season, and judgin from the
fact that not only Is the active member
ship full, with an auxiliary list TO draw
on. but that the demand for tickets for
this concert has already exhausted the
supply, The interest of the working men,
bers and the musical public seems to have

COClETY was the theme OF thought
~ full sermon by the Rev. ]. Stephens of
the Simpson Memorial Church Sum
day evening. A portion OF his remarks
was as follows:
Society is very extensive term. We
confine itto-night to that branch OF the
social life OF humanity which pertains to
pleasures and amusements. Social inter
course was divinely ordained. and the
happiness that flows from legitimate in
diligence in it is moral power which no
church should condemn. The society for
a Christian must be a Christian society,
and the drswing-room ought to be. in a
sense, as sacred as the church. We say
nothing against society or social life ex-
cept in so far as its spirit and its practices
are un- Christian. The Scriptures condemn
the society of the ungodly, the sinner and
the scornfuL The best society is that in
which these elements are wanting. Soci-
ETY. ought 10 be exclusive in the matter
of banishing such people from its circles.
The most pernicious thing about society
Is that it persists in calling and thinking
that the best and highest which freely ad-
mlts such characters, drawing the line
only al poverty or humble birth. Prob
ably in no other sphere of life is there a
more urgent need for the application of
the principles of the Nazarene than in our
social AFFAIRS
