"OIlvet 70 Calvary "

Judging from the final rehearsal
held last evening this cantata will be
the best ever rendered by the choir OF
81. Matthews church. The music is
far above the ordinary and is in
strict keeping OF the text The
words are written and arranged by
Shapcott Wensley: the music is COM
posed by J. II. Maunder, and is writ
ten In his well known style. The fol-
lowing Is short description OF the
cantata: "Olivet to Calvary" recalls
simply and reverently the scenes
which mark the few days OF the Sa-
vior's life on earth, and some OF the
reflections suggested thereby. The
rejoicing OF the multitude with ho-
sannas and palms, the view OF Jeru-
salem from the steep OF Olivet, the la
ment 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 two opens with the supper OF
the Passover. at which Jesus washes
His disciples feet and gives to His
friends the new commandment OF love
for one another as the sign OF true dis
cipleship. From this the scene passes
10 the infinite pathos OF the garden
OF Gethsemane. the sudden appearance
OF the hostile crowd, Jesus forsaken
by His disciples, His utter loneliness
among ruthless foes. the tumult be-
fore PLATE in the judgment hall, the
passage OF the Cross, the tragedy and
triumph OF Calvary. The cantata Is
one OF the best, n not the best. ever
rendered by the choir OF st. Matthew's
church. The collection at this service
will be for the Choir Camp Fund. %
The service will commence at 1880
p. m. During the service the organ
ist. DR.. Louis A. Brookes. will play

The Mexican Pres.

The tone OF the Mexican press, al
least a good part Of II, 10 very UNI
friendly toward the United States on
the matter Of the presidents reeen,
note to our official representative Al
chihuahua. which contained. an EN-.
phatic warning against further depre.
dations upon American life and prop.
erty. The Mexican papers choose 10
regard this communication distinctly
as addressed to orozco. the. rebel
leader, whose belligereney the Amer.
lean government has refused to recog.
nize. and their criticism Is as illogical
and Inconsistent as 4 Is unfair.
For instance. while several Of the
papers are attacking the ethics of a
diplomacy that would thus communi.
cate with an irresponsible rebel
leader and declaring that II the
United States has anything to say let
Il say It to the constituted authority
in Mexico. the I'll Pals. the yellow
journal OF Mexico. naively observes:
How can we expect Of the government Of
Mr. Madero. for example. that 1t pun
ish Pascual orozco for the shooting tof
the American. Fountain. since II has not
been able to defeat the rebel chief, much
less capture him?
Yet this paper and others denounce
our government for not appealing TO
Madero. We have, as matter of fact.
appealed to him. The only inference
is that Americans are to ''be damned
II they do and damned II they don't. +"
The Neuva Era, a more conservative
paper, makes nasty fling at our
dollar diplomacy. accuses the ad-
ministration of playing politics on the
eve OF election and denounces it's
action In general. The FL In
transigente eommends the Madero
governments clear. correct and en-
ergetic manner" OF resenting Presi-
dent Taft's warning note. and pro-
ceeds to scold the United States Sc
verely. The Mexican Herald. the prin-
cipal English language paper pub
lished at the capital. reprints several
of these singing editorials, which
carries the current OF bitter anti
American feeling to the Americans in
Mexico.
II is discouraging to know that
Mexico is infested with revolution
and outlawry against which the gov
eminent is proving itself utterly i'm
potent. leaving American life and
property unprotected. and yet resents
the slightest remonstrance on our
part.
