George Steiner and Evelyn
Swarthout, more usually heard
at American University. left their
academic surroundings last night
to visit the Phillips Gallery,
where they presented a divert
ing concert consisting of five in
teresting sonatas by classic and
modern composers.
The two artists opened their
program with Vivaldi-like piece
by the virtually unknown Pietro
degli Antonii. This proved to be
pleasant, well-made and quite
characteristic of the golden age
Of violin composition in its bel
canto lines and vigorous though
simple harmonies.
Miss Swarthout then relin-
pushed the stage to Mr.. Steiner.
who offered Arthur Honegger's
sonata for solo violin. a complex,
thoroughly contemporary work
written In a neo-classic idiom
evidently modelled after the
Bach solo fiddle sonatas.
During the remainer Of the
evening, the recitalists were
heard in sonatas by Mendelssohn,
Haydn and Hindemith.
Mr.. Steiner's forte Is not q
sensuously beautiful tone or
flawless accuracy of intonation.
He customarily gains his point
through intelligent musicianship
and vigorous playing. YeSter-
day. his many virtues seemed
to be outweighed by his failure
to translate horsehair on gut
into musical sound. There was
much scraping and a consider
able number of slightly fiat or
slightly sharp notes.
The Honegger sonata in par
ticular suffered through Mr..
Steiner's difficulties with tech
nical problems. 1t is a tough
enough work in its outer move
ments. even when perfectly
projected; in a ragged perform
ance. its clarity and drive are
thoroughly masked.
The newly discovered Men
delssohn sonata, genuinely
charming piece somewhat on the
lengthy side, also appeared some
what less impressive than 1t
should have, particularly in view
of Miss Swarthout's fine work at
the piano keyboard.
The violinist's best playing Of
the evening came in the Haydn
where he had least to do. This
light-hearted trifle served as a
reminder that many 18th CEN
fury fiddle sonatas were origin
ally called sonata for pinoforte

CHRISTMAS 1856

Matt. 1925 And in the fourth
watch of the night Jesus went
unto them, walking on the sea"
Matt. l4:29-31 And he said,
Come. And when Peter was come
down out of the ship, he walked
on the water, to go to Jesus.
But when he saw the wind
boisterous, he was afraid; and be-
ginning to sink, he cried, saying,
Lord, save me.
And Immediately Jesus stretch
ed forth his hand, and caught
him, and said unto him, o thou
of little faith, wherefore didst
thou doubt?"
The miracles which are re-
corded in many passages of the
Bible had a profound effect upon
those whose lives were touched
by them because they were done
with a calm authority and con-
fidence that spoke eloquently of
their divine origin. They were
a challenge to the followers of
Jesus during His ministry as a
physical presence and to us to-
day to have faith in Gods Mes
siah and act according to His
word:
Jesus did not write His teach
ings on golden tablets to be en-
shrined in great temples which
time would destroy. He wrote
them deep within the hearts and
minds of living men and women
where His message could not be
stamped into oblivion by any sort
of ruthless oppression nor worn
away by the impartial attrition
of time. This is the strength of
Christianity - that it needs no
outward t~rappings. With its mes
of hope and concern for the
and worth of each hui
man being, il brings the greatest
comfort and burns the brightest
within those most sorely OPP
pressed. This Christmas of 1856
let IL all pause once mor TO
burnish anew our thoughts of
dom in our hearts. His teach

irum life, dignity to the unfor-
hope to people who have
none and courage TO those who
must do the impossible. This

TO SLEEP

Many Americans complain that
they have trouble sleeping at
night. They resort to all sorts of
drugs, sleeping pills, and other
remedies, some o which are not
necessary and some of which do
not DO the body any good
Experts nave almost unani-
mously agreed that difficulty in
getting to sleep at night is rare
ly due to a physical disorder or
ailment. Insomnia, if you have it,
can usually be prevented if you
will Use your thinking process a
oft and if you can discipline
yourself to refrain from worry at
night, putting off your problems
until the morning.
The first task, relaxing, is par
tally dependent on disciplining
yourself to starting each day a
new, tackling your problems in
the morning and not worrying
about them all night. If you will
remember that worry never &C
complishes anything, except to
destroy your health and your
happiness, you will soon learn to
discard worry and to tackle your
problems each day as they arise.
Experts say that if you would
avoid insomnia, you should give
yourself an opportunity to relax
and unwind before going to sleep.
They suggest listening to quiet
reading an easy-to-read
novel, taking a arm bath leis-
or pursuing some other
hobby or relaxation which will
quiet you down.
A combination of refusing 20
IseleSsly worry over LIES prob
ems at night and calming your
ield down before you go to bed
will produce better results than
sleeping pills and artificial
leep-makers. Also, it will save
-ou money. And unless you have
much money that it is no
'roblem, this consideration should
lso be an important one to the
verage person.
