Seven Last Words Of Christ" In

by Rev. Egge, and the stage and
singers presented a most beautiful
sight, the ladies being robed in white
over a dark background and the men
in conventional black.
Miss Njaa opened the Cantata with
beautiful solo which was followed
by the chorus of fifty voices in
ringing and softly modulated voices,
following the music as it scared and
died away into space, leaving an
audience so still pin could have been
heard to drop. The soloists, which
consisted of Miss Njaa, Mrs. Len Rue
Mrs. Ray White, Albert Kollman
Dean Moore, Carl Bull, M. O. Glorvick
Martin Nelson, A. M. Peterson and
Carl Lund, done their different parts
in the most commendable manner
and their work, together with the
chorus brought out the theme in &
clear and concise manner which helC
the audience in its grasp until the las
words died away.
An intermission for a short time
during the Cantata was taken up b!
prayer by Rev. Clifford and silve1
offering was also taken up at thi
time to defray the expenses of put
