Choir Gives "Gethsemane
To Golgotha" Large
Congregation
SINGERS PRAISED
Mrs. Gooding and Messrs.
Ogden, Bryant and
Waller Score Hit With
Artistic Rendition

7 One of the largest icmgrega-
Etions that has ever assta4tled at
lSt. PauTs Church, was cpresent
Hast evening TO hear the choir OF
the church render the tLenten
Gantata "Gethsemane lto Col
lSotha.' The soprano soloist OF
1.-THE church, Mrs. Robert F. Good
! Ing. was in excellent voice, sing
ing in most artistic manner,
especially the soloFpf fMary at
the Foot of the Cross" which she
sang with great pathos.
Mrs. Gooding, singer of note,
lis a newcomer to Alexandria and
during the time she has been al
st. Paul's she has endeared her
self to the congregation, not only
Iby her beautiful voice but her
charming personality.
Too much praise cannot be
given to the three male voices
singing the other solos. AleXan-
dria always gives tribute to Mr..
Kenneth w. Ogden's voice, which
was never more clear and sweet.
The claimax of his work was his
solo, "The Beloved Disciple"
which he sang with great dra-
matte effect.
Mr.. Wilmer Waller. the for
mer baritone soloist of st. Paul's
sang with a great deal Of feel
ing and interpreted his solos
with wonderful effect.
Perhaps the most difficult solo
Of the Cantata is the one "Ju-
las" both from its character "a
the traitor and technically. It
was never rendered better than
by Mr., Arthur II. Bryant, the
bass soloist of the church, whose
rich beautiful tones filed the
hurch.
The chorus of forty voices did
their work with great beauty Of
tone and precision of attack.
Alexandria is to be "ongratu-
lated on its musical talent, but
none deserves more praise than
the organist and director Of st.
Paul's church, Mr.. S. B. Fowler.
With great ability and untiring
patience he trains his choir each
year to give some sacred cantata
On the "Passion of Our Lord,
not only for his own congrega-
ton to enjoy but the music-loving
public.
The only regret of the evening
was the absence of the beloved
rector of the church, but Rev. DR..
5. A. Willis very kindly acted in
his place.

Norfolk Secures
Industrial Fund
Portsmouth Joins With
Sister City Seeking
Industries

Norfolk, March 2S.-Norfolk's
100000 industrial fund has
been raised and the Industrial
Commission will be organized the
first of next week, and get down
to the actual work at hand. An
nouncement of the completion OF
the fund was made this after
noon.
It has required little over two
months for Norfolk and 3 Ports
mouth business men to under
write this amount, the first un-
dertaking of its kind ever pro-
jected in this territory. The plan
of the Industrial Commission,
composed Of 10 business men of
the two cities, is based on the
plan first adopted in Easton, Pa,
and which provides that individ-
uals lend their credit to the COM
mission and that the commission,
in turn, lend this credit to pros
pectiye industries which desire to
locate in. this section.
The. plan was hit upon as an
expedient' to bring industries to
Norfolk to- provide. what is regard
ed as the one factor most needed
for developmnt of this trritory.
W. W. Huston, prominent coal
man of Norfolk, is chairman Of
the commission and personally
raised the greater portion Of the
fund.
All persons who guaranteed
their credit in this fund will meet
a. a dinner next Monday night,
when the commission will organ
ize and begin its work. Severa!
l9rg industries are already in
prospect, it was announced today,
and at least one concern, Whose
operations have been carried on
in an extensive scale in New Eng
lad, has mad all plans to locate
here and . operate with the COM
missions help.
incidentally, tn is is the first con-
crete cooperative move on part
of the citizens of Norfolk and
Portsmouth for joint develop
ment of the industrial territory
in this vicinity, and it is regard
ed bv bushes men today a.
marking a decidedly new epoch in
the relations of the people Of
tbs two cities, who have agreed
to bury the rivalry that has ex-
listed for nearly a century.
