The solo parts in THE Heavens
are Telling" were acceptably taken
by Miss Shaw, Mr.. Page and Nj.
Barnes.
Mr.. Wrightson sang "The Waters
Of Babylon" { HoweiG with great
feeling and sympathy. The plaintive
melody of this selection made an
excellent contrast to the triumphant
chords of Mr.. Wrightson's second
song, .'Hosanna" by Granier. One
feels, when listening to Mr.. Wright
son, that his whole soul is in his
art, and this conviction, added to
his willingness to give freely and
gracIously of his great talents, have
endeared him to his audiences.
Miss Thomas gave two solos,
Liddle's setting of the hymn "a hide
with me, and the solo My Hope is
in the Everlasting from Stsiner $
eantata, The Daughter of Jairus. y
Her voice, clear, flexible soprano,
is delight to listen to, ami she was
heard o particular advantage in her
second solo, the notes boating out
purely and easily as those of bird.
The Choral Society did excellent
work In their four numbers, showing
the result OF their six months train
ing. The burden CT the first part of
the anthem g As 1T Began To Dawn -
(Martin) falls chiefly on the tenors
and BASES, who made good use OF
their opportunity. The beautiful ten
or solo, I" Fear Not Ye rendered by
Mr.. Wrightson--givesS the motif to
the full chorus. and the anthem closes
with an adaptation of the hymn,
" Jesus Christ is Risen To- day..
The anthem " Awake Thou That
Sleepest (Stainer) was sung with
great spirit, and the shading was
noticeably good.
Miss Bray played the 'sOfTertoire" OF
Dubois during the collection. and as
postlude +" Festa March by j.
Baptiste Calkins. She is finished
and capable performer.
A pleasant feature of the service
was the singing OF the hymns in which
the congregation heartily Joined.
The service was the last appear.
ance of the Choral Society before dis.
handing for the year Its success is
due to three causes, viz, the enthusi-
asm, care and capability Of Its direct
or, Dean Wrightson, its own perseyer-
ance and bard work, and hardly less
important, the sympathetic and in
telligent playing of its accompanist,
Miss Foster.
