At the Methodist Church

The choir of the Methodist church
will give the Easter cantata "Christ,
the King" by Paul Bliss, next Sunday
evening.
The first chorus of the cantata be-
gins with the multitude presenting
Christ before Plate. The mob accuses
him crying, Cruelty Him." with Plate
interrupting the mob in short recita-
/ tives. The music is written in minor
key and effectively gives the impress
sion of the procession on the march
to Calvary. The text, oft repeated,
"He was despised, He was rejected"
is heard in the second chorus.
In the third chorus solo voice
changes the mood from the excitement
of the mob to one of sadness, in which
the words of Jesus, "Weep not for me,
but for yourselves and for your chill
dren," are heard.
The story is continued by the read
ing of verses 81 to Sc of the twenty
third chapter of Luke, during which
women's voices sing "Halleluja, Hal
leluja," the elimination of the theme
of the cantata occurring in the trio's
Interpretation of the Resurrection
scene. Then follows the solo, Earth,
Ye Could Not Hold Him."
The triumphant closing, "Death Is
No Longer Conqueror," given by the
entire chourus, is a fitting climax to
the Easter story.
The public is cordially invited to at
tend this service which will commence
at :45 p. m.
