A CANTATA At
The METHODIST
CHURCH TODAY
ELABORATE EASTER PROGRAM
Has Been Arranged For the
Service

Following a precedent of several
years, the choir of the First Methodist
church, directed by Mrs. Tom McLen-
don, will on Easter Sunday, March 23,
present cantata at the morning se"-
vice. The cantatas given on previous
casters have been so thoroughly enjo7-
ed by the large congregations that
there have been numerous requests for
another this year.
The cantata originated in Italy pro-
baby as early as 1900 and was first
introduced into church service by Carl
ssimi, where it grew in popularity
.amcng composers, reaching it's perfe3-
ton in the works of Sebastion Bach.
1t is today an elastic term, usually
meaning a short oratorio, consisting of
a sacred theme worked out in arias,
chorales and recitatives.
The cantata to be given this morn
ing is by Adam Geibel, prominent
among composers of church music, ami
has a group of pleasing numbers. 1t
is Light Out of Darkness" and
.Christ's triumph over death is the mar
rative in verse. The text is mainly
words from the scriptures, arranged
by Gardner.
The work is divided into two parts.
the first opening with a chorus, DARK
and Drear the Midnight Skies where
the lonely followers of the Nazarene
wait at His tomb Into the solemn
sorrow thus engendered steals a note
of hope in bass solo, "Be Not Cast
Down, For the Lord, Thy God, viii
Not Forget Thee" which merges into
"a chorale expression of their love ami
alteration "A Christ Who Died Far
ALL" Following this is the song of
the Magdalene, her heart stricken with
grief and filled with humility and
longing. The chorus answers with the
prophetic, 30, Ye That Mourn Shall
Be Comforted,' and continues with the
blessed assurance, for after the sor-
row and weeping shall come a gla1
Easter" Part two follows with hap
py melody, the song of the Easter bells,
and the Cantata closes with the chorus
singing the glorious tidings, "The Man
of Sorrows Hath Become the Redeem
.er of All Mankind"
The sopranos for the service will be
Mrs Will Heys, Mrs. Olin Dixon, Miss
Madge McAfee; altos, Mrs. Ames; ten
.ors, Mr.. Poole, Mr.. Kiker; bass, Mr.. T.
Marvin Everett, Mr. Frank Stanley.

WILL
SPEAK HERE FRIDAY
Will Be First Lecturer of
the Lyecum Course
for 1913

Senator Robert N. LaFollette will be
the first attraction of the lyceum
course for the season 1913-14 He will
speak on the night of November Z at
the high school auditorium.
In commenting upon Senator LaFol-
lette Harpers Weekly says:
"To one man falls the greatest share
OF glory for independence, because it
cost him most. Especially did Senator
LaFollette's situation require strength
of character: not only had he always
been a republican, but he had, since
the Roosevelt split, come to be looked
upon as likely to dominate the party in
the future. AS progressiveness seemed
needed to save it from destruction La
Follette's influence has suddenly been
multiplied. In voting for the democratic
tariff he gave a final proof that no
consideration can prevent him from
following always his conviction. This
man has fought the straight fight all
his life. Often the sacrifice has been
great. He has given up friends, money
comfort, party praise. easy advance
ment. He has stood abuse and suspi-
cion. Nearly always the country and
his party have come around finally to
LaFollette's position. This last proof of
patriotism may annoy the republican
senators for the time being but it will
probably mean that LaFoliette's in
fluence ever over them will be strength
ened in the end. because a man who
is SO experienced. strong. far-sighted.
and fearless is badly needed by the
party now"

It's here kidsl The circus. Long live
the circusi The Carl Hagenbeck and
the Great Wallace shows combined, 'the
gayest. gladdest, grandest galaxy in all
the wide world" arrived in Birmingham
at daybreak yesterday morning aboard
three special trains of 81 cars. When
the first of the long line of yellow cars
pulled slowly into the yards OF the At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad
there was an outburst of glad welcome.
The coming of the big show means quite
a lot to the small boy of six and the
others of so, for 1t is the final circus of
the season and lovers Of the sawdust
and spangles will have to be content I'M
til next year after tonight. But circus
representatives say that enough JOY and

pensed today for the intervening period.

hold so many, many wonders.
Sunday for the circus man is day
of rest as far as possible. With the
Hagenbeck- Wallace shows there are q
tents which cover 20 acres of ground All
were erected yesterday, save the big
arena tent, within which 10000 persons
may be accommodated. 1t will be raised
at daybreak today.
The cook stove is the first thing that

So yesterday morning the first tent to

ranges, and half an hour after the arrival
of the first wagon on the show grounds
savory fumes were issuing from the lit
