ST. ANNE'S CHURCH NOTES

TRINITY SUNDAY
Rev. W.. Thou art worthy, c
Lord, to receive glory, honor ano
power, for Thou hast created al
things"
The observance of Trinity Sunday is
of more recent origin than that Of
other important festivals. The ancient
Church thought is necessary to set apart
a special day for the praises that were
celebrated every day in the hymns.
creeds and doxology. But in conse-
quence of the Arians and other heresies
that is, the unbelief of Arius and his
followers who denied this mystery of
the Trinity-the Church thought proper
to order particular day for its solemn
conmemoration. And this day was
preferred to any other, because it was
not until after the Ascension and the
coming of the Holy Spirit at Penticost
or Whitsunday, that our knowledge Of
the divine mysteries was completed. 1t
is the proper elimination Of all the
great festivals of the year. The church
having celebrated the Birth Of Jesus
and His manifestation to the Gentiles,
the Resurrection and Ascension, and
the descent of the Holy Ghost, con-
cludes them all with special service
in honor of the ''Holy, blessed and
glorious Trinity, three persons and one
God," by whom we. were created, re-
deemed, and sanctiied, and who is the
centre of all our faith, hope and love.
The Rector and people of St. Anne's
Church extend you hearty welcome to
come and worship with US. The Rector
will be glad to meet you after any SER
vice.
We wish to thank all those who con-
tributed to the Parish Coal Fund.-.

The above figures cover period of
ten years and are taken from the re-
ligious census of 1916. The first pub
licat;on of these figures in 1917 drew
little comment, because we were then
at war. But the churches are now
waking up to the acuteness of their
position, ard great movements are un-
der way to strengthen and develop the
Christian organizat tions.
A Summer School for Religious Edu-

BOUTET DE MONVEL'S
ART SHOWN HERE
Exhibition of Paintings Is
Opened at kingore Galleries.

One of the most important OF the
semt-offieial international art exhibit
tons that have come 10 this country is
the collection of paintings and drawings
by Louis Maurice Boutet de Monvel that

noon in the Kingore Galleries.
The collection, which numbers go
items, was selected by Mrs. Sage-Quin-
ton, director OF the Albright Gallery OF
Buffalo, in 1914, but owing TO the COM
piications brought on by the war II
was not possible to- bring ii to America
until this year. II has already been
shown in Buffalo and at the termina-
ton of tho exhibition in the Kingore
Galleries It will tour the principal cities
OF the country.
At the formal opening yesterday
Maurice Casenave. French High COM
missioner to the United States. who was
introduced by William A. Coffin made
a short address. eli seemed to make
an especial hit with the audience by
stating that the thing that treasured
him most IN regard 10 the genuineness
Of Boutet de Monvefs fame was the
fact that there was not a child in
Trance wac did not know his drawings
and who cid not love the artist. He
said that adults were sometimes car
ried away by superficial qualities, but
not so wish children. They looked for
the real thing, without prejudice. and
in Bortet dc Monvel's art they certainly
got it,
The collection contains the complete
sequence of the artists work. including
the series devoted to the history OF
st. eJanne dare and the almost
equally famous illustrations for old
French scnGs The llustra tons were
most faithfully reproduced IN the books
that are almost as familiar in America
as in France. but the original draw
ings now shcwn have many delicacies
and charms that escaped the engravers
Among those who attended the pri-
vate view yesterday were many prom
inent In social and artistic circles, in

Orchestral activities We're the princi-

National symphony Orchestra repeated
in the afternoon the programme which
it performed on Sunday night In the
evening in the same place. Carnegie
Hall, the Philadelphia Orchestra gave
the first of its series of eight local con-
certs. The programme consisted OF
schubert's C major symphony. Casella's
Italia" RHAPSODY. and two Sibelius
numbers. 1.-THE Swan Song of Tuonela"
and "Finlandia"
The programme was inordinately long
and despite the fact that the conductor,
Leopold Stokowski. hurried the last
movement of the Schubert work, en-
dured till it was wearisome. The novelty
Of the evening was the rhapsody OF
Casella. young Italian composer. who
was introduced by Walter Damrosch
with some remarkable pieces of tone

sody introduced several familiar Italian
airs. but much distorted and disguised

and write concertos for three oboes and
fire hydrant. Probably some one Of them
will yet. Meanwhile let the record stand

RALPH LEoPoLD,s CONCERT.

Ralph Leopold entertained a large
audience at Aeolian Hall last night when
he offered an interesting programme Of
piano music in which the chief numbers
were D'Alberts arrangement of Bach's
organ prelude and fugue In D.,
Beethoyen's sonata, opus 81, No. 2. and
Chopin's G sharp minor scherzo. The
Bach music he gave with a technic swift
and sure and with fine clarity of style.
His general work showed advancement
on the poetic side of his art since he
played here last year. The sonata was
given with muslcianly taste throughout
and the slow movement was noteworthy
for musical feeling.
