the Grace Cathedral.

The annual festival off Harvest Home
was celebrated Sunday morning and af-
ternoon at Grace Cathedral. Flowers.
fruits and grains were arranged in the
NeStibule and about the crancel, richly
suggestive of the garnering of a full
harvest Instead of the address, a har-
vest cantata was sung by a large choir,
accompanied by the pipe organ, piano and
Volins- The cantata opened with the
trio and chorus by Hayden, and the piece
contained soprano, bass, tenor and con-
tralto solos. a quartet and a number of
chOruseS The cantata closed with the
Hallelujah chorus from the Messiah.
The program at the two services repre-
sented some OF the best work in the
field of sacred composition, and the pack
ed houses that heard it would seem to in
dictate the passing of the brief success of
late years to popularize so-called church
music by singing religious sentiments to
jig tunes
