"HE Is RISEN"
Matthew 1916

The crucifiXion of Jesus Christ
had caused His disciples TO be-
come sad, discouraged and con-
fused. They had lived close to
Him for three years or more.
They had learned to love Him.
They had heard Him teach and
their hope was in Him. He had
promised much, but because of
their lack Of understanding they
had failed to grasp the mean
ing of His promises. Now it SEEM
ed that the very foundation Of
their hope had crumbled, What
were they to do? They had left
all to follow Him. Now He was
gone!
Three days had passed. The
requirements of their religious
law had been met. Some of
Jesus disciples, several women,
approached the tomb, planning
to anoint the body of their de-
ceased friend Upon their arrival
they saw that the tomb was
open; the body was gone. They
became afraid and perlexed As
they stood there, an angel spoke,
saying, Fear not ye: for know
that ye seek Jesus, which was
crucified. He is not here: for He
is risen, as He said" Matthew
1915, 81.
''He is risen" What words!
They were a cause for rejoicing,
and we read that, when they
were instructed to tell the news
to the other disciples, the women
departed quickly from the
sepulchre with fear and great
joy; and did run to bring His
disciples word" The same words
thrill the heart of every true
Christian even today, for we
have come to know the meaning
of these words.
HE is risen!" He has told His
disciples before His crucifixion
that He would be gut to death
and that He would be raised
again Matthew 1921; 1928;
20.18. 19). Who Of us can say,
Il will die within a few days
and three days later I will be
alive again?" Jesus was able to
say it. He kept His word. He
was all-knoWing. Surely, we can
trust such a One.
''He is risen!" In reality men
had not put him to death. He
was the Son of God. He had the
power of life and death in Him
self. In John 1917 and 18 we
have the words of Jesus" :.
l lay down my life, that / might
take it again. No man taketh it
from me, but I lay it down of
myself. / have power to lay it
down, and l have power to take
it again" In John 1925 He said,
Il am the resurrection, and the
life: he that belieVeth in me,
though he were dead, yet shall
he live" His resurrection was
the final proof that He was (is)
the Son of God (Romans 1:4).
HE is risen! The Christian

Founder of the Christian way Of
life lives that those who sur
render their lives to Him are
enabled to live above the pas
sions and appetites of the flesh
(Romans 6-8). 1t is because of
this truth that we can say that
'Whosoever believeth on Him
shall be saved" - shall be saved
from the penalty and power of
sin That is why the alcoholic,
the prostitute, the thief, the liar,
the one who curses and swears,
the fighter, all those who are
slaves to the sins of the flesh
and of the mind can come to
Christ for deliVerance.

No extra load on

When you add radiator or register TO con-

your heating plant greater load than it can
handle. To get heat to the added radiator or
register, you may cool down other parts OF the
house. This can't happen soith electric heat.
Each unit is Independent of your central heat

SECOND BEST ON THE ROAD
Met Sings La Trovioto'
For Capacity Audience

the soloists, and the orchestra,
the precision of hi setting
touches every word of the great
sacriflcial rite.
Here. then, for those who wish
1t, is an expression of the most
specific and orthodox interpreta-
ton of the mass ceremony. For
others like Beethoven, whose
PHILOSOPHERS take les: conven-
tional form, far beyond the
words there is power that sig
nlfies mans sense of the un-
fathomable and the omnipotent.
OF the numerous deeply affect
ing passages, random mention
might include the shadowy
choral chord closing the "Christe
eleison";; the nearly unbelievable
tension upon tension climaxing
the Gloria; the quiet, reflective
EFT Incarnatus Est" with it's high
f1ute solo: the somber beginning
OF the "Sanctus";; the introduce
ton Of the 'Benedictus" by solo
violin, flutes, and, from the
choral BASES, single line of
Infinite benevolence and calm.
The role of the vocal soloists
in the sMissa Solemnis is of in
credible difficulty and, to some
extent, is thankless, for there
are no really independent solos
IN which a singer can shine
alone. The singing Of last nights
soloists was of high caliber and
mature concept. Mr.. Lloyd, MIR.
Smith. and Miss Alberts were
particularly well matched; and.
especially in spbdued sections.
all of the voices sang with beauty
OF tone and fine effect. Werner
Lywens playing of the long violin
solo in the Benedictus was SUI
perbly done.
For a large chorus to bring off
a successful performance of the
Missa Solemnis is no mean
achievement. Far beyond this
though. the choral singing last
night was hardly less than vir-
tuosic. Countless passages that
look impossible on the printed
page were sung with assured
precision; dovetailing with the
solo quartet. an extremely tricky
problem in this work, was done
with flnesse and control. The
quality and blending of surpas-
sing beauty. and particular word
should go to the sopranos who
sang high sustained lines with |
invariably clear and enforced |
sound.
The real responsibility for last
nights success was that of the
conductor, Paul Galloway. Mr.. |
Galloway has long been known
to Washington as a musician and |
conductor OF broad and versatile |
abilities. Among his perform
ances of the big choral works
and they have been many. the
Missa Solemnis will be long re- |
membered. for he showed in |
abundance the vision and under
standing that are necessary for
the great music making that the |
listeners heard last night

.Soviet'sArmy
Is Strongest,
RidqwaySays
By the Associated Press

Gen. Ridgway says the Soviet
army is "the most powerful land
combat force in being today"
Gen. Ridgway, United States
Chief of Staff. gave that esti-
mate of Russian land strength
during February testimony at a
closed door session of a House
Appropriations sub committee
His testimony was made public
last night.
The country's top soldier said
the Soviet army is in an excel
lent overall state of combat
readiness" and is equipped and
disposed to undertake a major
war with little warning"
He told the subcommittee that
Soviet forces have been given
atomic warfare training" along
with their conventional military
exercises. He spoke of a Sub
stantial improvement" in the
mobility. f1repower and combat
readiness" of the Russian army.
Moreover, Gen. Ridgway said
other Communist armies in Asia
and Europe are being brought
up to date with Russian help
and ARE gradually being nodded
into effective modern forces"
Opposes New Army Cut
The discussion got around to
plans to cut United States Army
strength to 1,102, 900 men by the
middle of next year. This would
be a total cut of 100000 from
goals as originally set.
Gen. Ridgway. who has been
outspoken in opposing Army
manpower reductions, related
that the Army had nearly COM
pleted its budget requests based
on a reduced new look" force
OF 1.l73,000 by mid-1956 when
Secretary of Defense Wilson di-
rected him to trim his plans still
more to the presently projected
level. The cutback is expected to
save $940 million in the year
starting July l..
The general said Mr.. Wilson's
lew order came with little warn

know. there were no opportuni-
lies to present our views before

Mr.. Eisenhower had been kept
informed Of his view that the
cutback would weaken the effec-
tiveness Of both the Army and
the overall United States mill
tary force. Although opposed to
the Army cuts, Gen. Ridgway
said he would follow orders.
Gen. Ridgway voiced the opin-

proceedings also disclosed:

Licia Albanese. as Violetta,
and Richard Tucker. as Alfredo,
were in good voice and almost
believable as young lovers. Their
performances were well thought
out, their gestures traditional,
and they moved about the stage
easily. The flexible voice and
spontaneous Characterization one
has a right to expect of singers
of their repute were not always
in evidence. I sensed a definite
routine quality in the perform
ance-routine of a superior kind,
however.
Among the delightful moments
in the third act was the small
bit gwen to the solo ballerina,
who remained unidentified in the
printed program. She and her
half dozen colleagues in. the
ballet Eyes, so sparingly does the
Metropolitan 60 on tourD de-
served the applause they received.
From here on down, the per-
formance was only adequate.
Minor roles were properly cared
for. the chorus seemed tired,
and the scenery was in need of
paint. If the Metropolitan is to
maintain its position as one of
the worlds leading opera COM
panies. it must do as well on the
road as it does in New York.
Washington and other cities on
the current tour deserve more
than second best. And last
nights "Traviata," good as it
was. was not the best the COM
pany is capable Of.
