LUTHERAN CHOIR TO
RENDER st. PAUL"
Herbert Gould, Chicago Singer, Will
Appear to Assist MinOt Singers
in Great OratOriO June 5 and 6.

Wednesday and Thursday of next
week, June 5th and 9th, will be fes-
tai days for the music lovers of Minot
and vicinity, for on the evenings OF
these dates will be rendered at the
First Lutheran Church Mendelssohn's
oratorio, est. Paul." The chorus
which will present this has been long
and diligently at work under the d.
rection Of Rev. T. F. Gullixson and
will doubtless again delight large au-
diences with scuh chorus singing as
has made this group something of an
institution in this city.
As to this ocatorio it needs only be
said that it is worthy companion
piece to the same composers "Elijah"
which was so we'll received year ago.
The story is of the early struggles of
the Christian church, it's trials and
martyrdoms, of the conversion Of
Saul, of his life and work as st. Paul
and his fervent obedience unto death.
This story takes one through the
varying shades of musical expression
and makes of the whole at once a
musical treat and a profound service
of worship.
It is more than interesting to know
that Mr.. Herbert Gould of Chicago,
who sang so splendidly the Elijah part
last year, will sing the principal part
at this concert. Last year tributes OF
praise from the papers of other cities
recommended him to us; now several
hundred Minot folks need only con-
suit their memories to know what a
treat is in store.
Mr.. Gould will be the only singer
from abroad, but this does not mean
that the audience will be robbed OF
enjoyment, for the city is happy to
number among it's young folks several
singers of decided ability and promise
and this years event will find more OF
them at home and participating than
ever.
Miss Martha Reishus, who laid aside
her work at the Red Wing Ladies
Seminary to study voice the year
through with Oscar Seagle in New
York City, will be home Loyalty con-
tributing her splendid ability to the
success Of this undertaking.
Miss Nora Fauchald has spent the
wear at work in the Damrosch School
of Music, New York, and is expected
home tomorrow and will thus be able
to assist materially in the chorus
parts as we'll as to add to the laurels
wen last year in solo, recltatlve ana
aria. :,
These two will divide the solo So
prano work with Miss Ruth Ellison,
whose fine tone quality and vocal abll-
itv will have unsurpassed opportunity
in the work which falls to her.
Miss Alma Enger is also soprano
who possesses voice of such depth
and fullness that the beautiful alto
solo. go Rest in the Lord falls nat
urally to her lot. -. =
Mr.. Carl Hvambsal and Mr.. E. IS
leifson will share in the tenor SOLO
work. .:,ua
Miss Martha Sebby, whose tireless
work as accompanist has contributed
so largely to this and previous similar
efforts, will be at the piano, and MISS
Amanda Hamre, whose skill as a pl-
anist is generally concede ed but whos'
ability as a pipe-organist has been
largely overlooked, will preside on
the organ bench. oo.+s
