OliYet To Calvary.

The choir Of st. Paurs church, as
sisted by Mr.. Kenneth Ogden, tenor,
will sing "Olivet to Calvary" by J. ID.
M under, Thursday evening, April 18TH,
al eight o'c'ock-
"Olivet to Calvary" recalls simply
and reverently the scenes which marx
the last few days of the Saviour's life on
earth. and some of the reflections sug-
gested thereby. The rejoicing OF the
multitude with hOsannas and palms, the
view of jerusalem from the steep OF
Olyef, the lament over the beautiful
city. The scene in the Temple, and the
lonely walk back over the Mount at
night, form the chief features of the first
part.
Part II. opens with the Supper OF
The Passover, at which Jesus washes
He disciples feet, and gives to His
friend. the new commandment of love
for one another as the sign OF true discl'
pleship. From this the scene passes to
In iIiiniie ptlhos of the Garden OF
Gstbsemauc, the sudden appearance OF
the hostile crowd, Jesus forsaken by His
disciples, HIS utter loneliness among
ruthless i0es, the tumult before Plate
in the Judgment Hall, the Passage OF
the Cross, the tragedy and triumph OF
Calvary.
The choir has had this work in prepa-
ration some weeks and expected to have
sung it during Lent, but the delay in
completing The new organ and chancei
made it necessary to postpone Its rendl-
tion till Thursday next.
No cards OF admission are necessary.
A silver offering will be taken for the
benefit of the music fund.
