The Easter music in the churches today
will be exceptionally fine in almost every
case the regular quartette being aug
mented by other voices, chosen for the
OCCASION and in several instances an
orchestra supplements the organ accom-
panirnent. The programmes are the re-
suit of careful selection and with the
best of local talent in SOLO and splendid
" trained voices singing the anthems,
the praise services in the churches will
excel those of previous years.
st. Paul's Catholic church today will
unauestionably be crowded. and even
standing room. if the day is fine will be
sought. for the music and presentation
of the ritual will be magnificent. Mr..

act as chormaster with chorus of 80
voices and an orchestra numbering Il
pieces. Mrs o. w. Colgan is the or

Mrs. c. ]. SEVERN. who for many years
has sung at st. Paul's. has just re-
turned after years study abroad, aud

an integral part of the service for the
Day of Resurrection in the Catholic
church. Gounod's mass viii be sung
with Mrs. SEVERN, in soprano solo, Civ
Ing that exquisite Ave Maria with
