Boys Symphony Orchestra.

A good-siZed audience assembled at
Chases last night and listened attentively
to the concert by the Boys Symphony Or
chestra of New York. The program was a
long one, too long, In fact, and made longer
by the frequent encores, but the efforts of
the youngsters were SO thoroughly appre-
ciated and emphatically applauded that one
was hardly aware that 1t lasted until II
O'Clock. The program numbers included
Wagner's 'Nibelungen'' march, a Mozart
symphony, the symphonic prelude to Mas
cagni's japanese opera iris" the William
Tell overture, Thomas Raymond" over
ture" Weber's "Jubel overture march
an Intermezzo Sinfonica and an Air de Bal
LETT by Pinto, the director of the orchestra,
and quartet for violin, cello, clarinet and
harp. The encores were generally Of light
er compositions, except in one instance,
when the Anita movement of the Peer
Gynt Suite was given quite effectively.
In fact, all the work of the orchestra was
unusually good, as to tone and interpre-
tation, showing absolute control by the
conductor, who himself has quite youth
full appearance, though he has evidently
been a hard student
There were two solos, one on the harm
by Master Antonio Ungaro, boy only
twelve years old, who displayed positive
virtuosity in his technical mastery of the
instrument, and the other on the violin by
Master Nicholas Garagusi, the concert
master of the orchestra youth of per-
haps nineteen. He played with remarkable
precision and with beautiful tone and q
technique that evidenced long and careful
study.

MAN OF DESTINY.
DR.. Radcliffe's Reference to President
Roosevelt in Sermon Yesterday.

Rev. Wallace Radcliffe, D. D.. pastor or
the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church,
preached to his congregation for the first
time since his return from his summer va
cation yesterday morning. The Good
Hand of Cod was his subject, based on
the text Nehemiah, Ills. In the course
of his sermon he made reference to 'Presi-
dent Roosevelt as man of destiny, whom
God would make great.
He said in part:
I'VE hear much in these days of tho
cry Back to Christ 1t has captured many
tongues. for some time has occupied much
of the religious press, and yet ii is partial
and only half accomplishing cry, If We
are to write the richest formulas and live
the greatest lives, we are not to be brought
back to Christ, but back to God. He alone
is the source of light and truth. 1t is not
the hand of Christ, but the hand of God;
1t is not back to Christ, but back to God.
Any cry of back to Christ has much of
purity, any cry of back to the Holy Spirit
has much of divine glory; but God is In
the center of theology, of the world, of
the universe, and through His sovereign
power comes peace and thereby is secured
success. His hand strikes, it arranges and
Ii controls"
His reference to the President was as
follows:
I'VE ourselves talk of the man of des-
tiny. We have him in history. He
marches over precedent, expectations and
desires, right to the throne of power. The
President of the United States now in the
chair is there by no will of the people,
certainly not by the desire of the politicians,
and beyond the Judgment or the careless
ness of the people God lifted him and made
him a man of destiny. There Is no other
explanation of that position today"

HIS INITIAL SERMON.
Rev. Weston Bruner Becomes Pastor Of
Fifth Baptist Church.

.sFor what intent have you sent for me? 2"
(Acts. x:29) This was the text of the first
sermon of the new pastor of the Fifth Bap-
fist Church, Rev. Weston Bruner, DID.
formerly of Richmond, Va. He assumed his
duties in this city yesterday morning at the
church. on E street southwest between 9TH
and 7th streets. References to DR.. Bruners
earlier life and to the growth of his pres
ent charge under Rev. c. c. Meador, DID,
now pastor emeritus, have been made m
these columns.
DR.. Bruner said in part:
eff you have sent for me to become your
hireling, to do your bidding. instead of to
always obey Gods voice, l cannot come for
that purpose. l hope that l have IN my
heart the spirit of the Good Shepherd who
gave His life for the sheep, and in that
spirit 1 have interpreted your call. have
come to be your minister and your teacher,
for the height of my ambition is to become
good minister of Jesus Christ, and, like
my Master and your beloved pastor emer1-
tus, not to be ministered into, but to min
lister unto you.
And. as to preaching, 1 feel that it would
be more appropriate that l should sit at His
feet and at yours and be taught, and yet l
feel that. as the ambassador Of Christ, l
have message that l must deliver. My
message is included in these words of st.
Paul: I am determined not to know any
thing among you save Jesus Christ, and
Him crucified.'
ITO the Jews this will be stumbling
block, and to the Greeks foolshness, but to
you who called it will be Christ, the
power of God and the wisdom of God. Christ
crucifed will be the heart of my message
ever, because it exhibits the eternal justice
of God God is SO just that He cannot for
give one sinner one sin until atonement has
been made. This atonement was made for
us on the cross. Christ crucified will be the
burden of my message, because it so plainly
shows the depravty of the human heart
THAT men should have rejected and con-
demned and murdered upon the cross the
immaculate Son of God, who came to set
them free. is beyond human belief. did we
not have the record of Gods own book.
Could you remove the influence of the cru
Gifted from the mind and heart of man to-
day, and Jesus should again visit the world,
He would be crucified as of old, for the
human heart has not changed.
