cations to Attend.
On sunday evening next there will
be given in Commencement Hall,
what will be undoubtedly the finest
service Of song eyer heard in our city.
1t will be called an " Easter Service
OF Song y, and it was not given on
Easter Sunday evening, as Dean
Wrightson did not wish to clash with
the many beautiful programs that had
been prepared by the different cnoirs
of the city. so out of Difference to
them it was decided to hold the Uni
versity Service Of Song, on the Sun
day after Easter, and all of the
churches have been asked to close to
make it united event.
1t is to be hoped the churches will
assist to make this evening a memoir
Bile one by closing their doors and
giving everyone a chance to attend
INTACT, every church but one has con-
sented to do so, and it is hoped that
that one will decide with the others.
A beautiful program has been ar
ranged and will be given by the Choir
al Society, assisted by some OF the
leading singers of our city. No time
or effort has been spared TO make the
evening a perfect one from musical
and religious standpoint.
This is the last time the Choral So
ciety will sing, as after this service
they will adjourn until the Fall
Term. The Spring Term is hard
one on all the students, especially
those who graduate.
Many bad to drop out this term on
account OF their heavy studies, and
as the warm weather will soon be
here, it was voted by the society to
adjourn and re0rganize 10 the fall
The society has done a wonderful
work and created an abundance Of
musical interest in our midst We
have bad proven TO US the possibility
of the future and we should all crate
full for the efforts of these singers.
1t is to be regretted that at the
close Of the season tie Society Is over
5000 in debt. So as to correct an idea
that some have as to the payment of
this deficit, it must be stated that
the Choral Society as it now stands,
works for the School OF Music, and
any money that IS made goes for the
good of the school, but If it loses the
school does not stand the loss, aud it,
falls on the shoulders of the Choral
Society as body. This is a very one
sided arrangement, but Dean Wright
son attempted it thinking his efforts
in bringing fiue musicians here would
be supported, but we all know that at
the Hannah Concert the Society lost
$780, less $50 kindly given by one Of
our prominent citizens.
On Sunday evening next a silver
collection will be taken up to wipe out
this deficit, and it is hoped that more
than 5000 will be generously given.
AS stated, beautiful service has
been arranged with two solos by Miss
Thomas, two by Dean Wrightson, and
the Choral Society will sing four of
the greatest choruses written
The Heavens are Falling from
''The Creation
AS it Began to Dawn" by Martin.
g Awake Thou That Sleepest,n by
Stainer.
The "Halelujah Chorus, from The
Messiah"
Undoubtedly Commencement Hall
will be crowded, and such program
will be an inspiration. DR.. Purinton
will give 10-minutes address, and
the rest Of the service will be given
over to the rendition of sacred masic.
