LENTEN SERVICE AT EPIPHANY
Bishop Bren Discourses on the Place of
the Holy Sacrament.

The third of a series of Lenten services,
under the auspices of the Churchmen' s
League, was held last night at the Church
of the Epiphany. Right Rev Charles H.
Bren. Bishop of the Philippine Islands,
addressed the congregation on the place
of the holy sacraments in the divine min
istry Of grace.
'The sacraments." he stated, "are
avenues to eternity. No single examina-
tion can exhaust their meaning, no one
school monopolize their Significance
Only in the study OF their origins alone
Will their true significance be found
The keynote may be summed up in
two words-imminenee and personality
lmminence of all things eternal and eter-
nal in all things. Personality that brings
before up the very presence Of God
Jesus had no sin. and yet he had the
sin Of the entire world upon his shoulders.
AT the time of his baptism God changed
it from a mere prayer to the prayer and
its answer. Baptism is first suggestion
from man, but God takes it and gives it
a new power, so that the prayer and the
answer are combined"

THE RAKEMANN QUARTETTE.
Local Organization Gives Its Second Con-
cert cf the Year.

| cert CT the Year
| The second concert of the season by the
Rakemann String Quartette was given
last night in the banquet hall of the
| Shoreham, and was attended by an ap-
/ preciative audience which. not content
| with the original numbers which figured
on the programme, demanded several en-
! cores during the evening.
The club as an organization has be-
come one of the most popular of its kind
in the city, and its recitals are always
of interest to local music lovers in that
their numbers are not confined to the
beaten path pursued by most quartettes.
but compositions which are impossible to
less skilled musicians are often given
place on the Rakemann programmes.
The members of the quartette are: Her
man C. Rakemann, Oswald Welti, Joseph
Finckel, and Wenceslao Villalpando. Mrs.
Andrew Renick Benson, soprano. and Mr..
Herman Rakemann were the soloists of
last nights concert. Mrs. Benson is well
known here through her long association
with Washington choirs and her large
vocal class. Her voice is a rich. pure,
sweet soprano. and her rendition of the
famous valse song from Romeo and
Juliet was exceptionally pleasing. Mr..
Rakemann requires no introduction to the
Washington public, for his part in the
musical history of the city, especially of
recent years, is too we'll known to need
repetition. Mr.. Rakemann's solos were
among the most enjoyable numbers on
the programme.
The quartette played Mozart's quartette
for strings in major with fine artistic
finish, and, in fact, all their numbers
were given in the same excellent style
which invariably marks their reading
Mr.. E. H. Droop. the regular accompanist
of the quartette rendered valuable as
