The Elson lectufe-coneerts, which have
proved so popular with those attending
them, will be brought to a close Monday
evening, when Mr.. Elson will give his
famous lecture on 1.-THE History of Ma
tional Music" at the Peoples church.
The fact that Mr.. Elson's lectures are
strictly non-technical in character makes
them appeal to the public as they other
wise could not Some of the most warmly
appreciative of Mr. Elsons auditors have
been those who knew nothing of classi-
cal music but who were interested In the
people who produced the folk song of
their several countries. Mr.. Elsons Gull
ture is so broad and his mind so versatile
that he is able to see the many sides of
a nations music. 1t is this ability to see
and reproduce in fascinating form the
poetry of a nation, as represented in Its
music, that makes his lectures SO inter-
esting. His sonorous barytone voice has
fine musical tones, and he sings drink
ing song with all the gusto of Geramn
student, while to the Interpretation Of
solemn hymn he brings the seriousness
and depth of feeling required.
His lecture-concerts may be considered
as entertainments strictly for the people,
and the one to be given Monday evening
is more distinctly a popular" entertain
ment than either of those that have gone
before.
The Illustrations to be given for this
lecture on National Music" will include
some of the songs with which the French
revolutionists were melted to battle by

! via and other countries
