MUS|C ''rR
Verdi's "Requiem" Sung by the
Toronto Choir.

I II Is only a few days since comment vas
made in this place upon the fact thar
though New York is surfeted with music,
organizations from cities near and far in
sist upon coming to add to the surfeit The
purpose is too obvious to be misunderstood
even by the merest tyro in observation; but
II seems that the metropolis, like Othello =
revenge has stomach for IL all. and when
the offering made Is of such excellence as
that of the combined Mendelssohn Choir,
of Toronto. and the Theodore Thomas Or
chestra, OF Chicago, which was enjoyed at
Carnegie Hall on Tuesday evening and last
night, the local public can only be con-
graduated. Praise Of both organizations has
run into the superlative before now ano
how II can be added TO in comment on the
performance of Verdrs Requiem" last night
we do not know, unless IL would be 10 set
the critical pegs hard and fast and let
technical discussion show what has already
been enthusiastically proclaimed. that the
perfection of choral singing on this side
of the Atlantic is TO be heard from the
choristers Of Toronto whom DR.. a. s. Vogt
has the honor 70 conduct, and TO whom,
their own artistic enthusiasm and a wise
tion is due which can scarcely be over
estimated, and the influence OF which ought
to be spread as widely az possible at any
cost.
The choir seems 10 be as perfect techf-
caly as can we'll be imagined, and its
finest qualities were no doubt exhibited in
the unaccompanied numbers OF Tuesday
nights programme, but superlative quail
ity of ensemble was made manifest at last
nights performance OF the Requiem, when
not the wonderful choir alone, but the
singing OF the solo quartet. composed of
Miss Florence Hinkle, Miss Christine Mil
Ter, George Hamlin and Clarence Whitehill,
and the orchestral accompaniment exer-
cised a fascination such as has seldom been
felt in local concert hall. The secret Of
the success of the combined solo, choral
and orchestral work is also that Of the
choir which has won so wide and deserved
reputation. A performance like that
OF last night was not improvised or hastily
thrown together. 1t was the result OF pa
tient and hard study under a wise leader,
sustained by generous financial help. Would
that such conditions were TO be had In
large cities in the same measure that small
communities afford them. H. E. X.

TO IMPROVE POLICE FORCE
r. Fulton Cutting Suggests Com
mittee of Church People.

'The sooner we stop the demoralizng
practice of regarding the policeman as
traitor to the society he is pledged 10 pro-
tect the more rapidly he will progress
toward becoming a constructive force
That and kindred statements were made by
r. Fulton Cutting Yesterday in an address
in the United Charti"s Building II was
the third Of tho Kennedy lectures on THE
Church and .y.Ie,s Mr.. Cuttings topic
was THE Church and the Police"
"Of all civic officials" said the speaker,
none needs the recognition OF Christian
people more than the police. The informa-
ton that the policeman might gather ana
supply if animated by definite purpose 10
be of positive service to humanity would
furnish the Church with an arsenal OF am
munition
Mr.. Cutting advocated a citizens commit
tee on police, describing the purposes OF
which he said
The Christian people Of a comm unity
should have a committee on ponce, us
members being on terms OF social intHnaG!
with both tho superior and subOrdlnate OH
GERS Frequent meetings would be held pc
tween the police head and the committee 10
discuss projects for increased usefulness
and 10 report upon the general programme
Is such a relation between the Chlrch
and police possible and desirable? First ley
us ask ourselves another question; Does
not the inefficient, dishonest policeman OF
a community manufacture more crlmlnals
and desenerates than Christianity can make
saints? May not the police force, encour-
aged, assisted stimulated and supported oy
the united Christian sentiment or a com
munity become an agency for Lhe promo
ton of virtue that will potently AFFECT the
Church's possibilities Of success Does not
