sity chapel for the benefit of the Hamline
M. e. church choir fund. This oratorio
is we'll suited to amateurs and the fresh
young voices that essayed it last night
acquitted themselves most creditably In
both chorus and solo work. Prof. A. u.
Drew was director. Miss Ella Dorr, con-
ductor, and Mrs. Schattgen, pianist. The
lack of an organ, of course, detracted
much from anotherwise good effect. but
the Hamline and humboldt high school
orchestras, combined, furnished the nee
essary depth of tone in the heavier parts,
and the large audience present was ap-
parently well satisfied with the result.
The full chorus numbered about fifty
voices, twenty-five voices belonging to
the Hamline M. r. church choir, with the
addition OF twenty-five female voices The
