Creation" 1799). In that he was
well supported by his own piety
and the memory of Handles CHOIR
uses. His other oratorio is The
Seasons"
The oratorio seems to be one
form which the influence of MOI
art missed. Beethoven wrote one
oratorio, Christ on the Mount Of
Olives" but his heart evidently
was not in the work and it is as
near commonplace as it is possible
for the mighty Beethoven to be.
Wagner wrote solitary ora
torio. "Das Libesmahl der Apostle
+ THE Love Feast Of the Apostles),
which in no way added to his
fame.
It seems after Haydn's works it
was day of operas and oratorio
was we'll nigh forgotten. Almost
the only oratorio of lasting value
produced during that time was
Ludwig Spohrs The Last Judg-
ment," performed Tuesday night
by the Tacoma Oratorio society.
This is a composition Of excellent
workmanship and is marked by
numerous fine choruses.
Felix Mendelssohn wrote the
most highly satisfactory. orstorios
after Haydn's The Creation
Through them there was accom-
plished general revival of chorus
writing and chorus singing. Be-
fore his untimely death he added
several fine choral works to the
number truly loved and under
stood by the people. Among them
might be mentioned est. Paul and
Hymn of Praise"
Neils Gade (1s17-1s90) wrote
several works, including The Cru

Robert Schumsnn (1sl0-1s56),
wrote Paradise and the Peri;
Hector Berlioz (1so3-1s69), THE
Damnation of Faust; Charles
Gounod (1sls-1se3). The Re-
demption": Cesar Franck (ls22-

bined flawless workmanship with
a remarkable intellectual and spir-
itual force.
England has produced in Sir
Edward Elgar an oratorio writer
who is the most prominent since
Mendelssohn. Among his works
are The Apostles" and Dream
of Gerontius. The finest choral
work ever done on American soil
is without doubt the "Hord Novis-
sima.'
II might be mentioned in pass
ing that two Of the greatest choral
works ever written-not strictly
oratorios but given as such-are
Bachs b Minor Mass" and Bee
thoven's 'Missa Solemnis." The
latter was performed by the Ia

lie utility law at National Univer-

opening of the spring term tomor-

Church
To Hold Congress
Here Next Month
First TrienniuI
Session to Meet
At Cathedral

The first triennial congress of the
Episcopal Church in the United
States will meet in Washington
Cathedral April 1928. The general
theme will be The Gospel and the
Predicament of Modern Man"
The Rev. Donald B. Aldrich. rec
tor the Church of the Ascension in
New York, is chairman. and Bishop
James E. Freeman of Washington is
honorary chairman. Aiding them in
plans for the conclave is a local
committee headed by the Rev.
Charles Tinsley Warner. rector of
st. Adams Church and honorary
canon of the Cathedral.
Under the direction of DR.. AL
drich the policy of holding an an
nual church congress with prepa-
ration only by speakers has been
changed to triennial meeting for
which delegates are prepared by a
three-year syllabus published in
quarterly inStallmentS in the Anglic-
an Theological Review The annual
gathering for clergy and laity was
founded in 1874
The congress represents the en-
tire church, with 55 bishops CO.
operating. In a toreWord. the Most
Rev. Henry ST. George Tucker, pre-
siding bishop. said
The announcement that the con-
gresS is to be held in Washington
in April will be hailed with en-
thusiaSm in the whole of the Epis-
copal Church. The subject to be
discussed makes a timely and deep
appeal. For 60 years the congress
has served the church by arousing
provocative thought. Parties within
the church have been encouraged to
subject their convictions to mutual
criticism. In a time of crisis like
the present it is perhaps fitting that
the emphasis is shifting from a
sharing of our differences to a shar-
ing of our agreements. Living as
We do. within the flaming ramparts
of troubled world, we are redis-
covering the gospel of Gods saw
ing grace-a gospel not of our max
ing. a gospel Aanscending all party
loyalty
