Concert Last Sunday

Continued from page one)
ing by director and choir alike. The
beautiful blending of the choir's
voices, with these necessary ele-
ments, made the Dubois work
thrilling experience. All who lis
tened to the cantata were deeply
moved, and better prepared for
Holy Week and the Resurrection
of our Lord.
The Introductory soprano solo,
with the words: 20 all ye who trav-
ell upon the highway, harken to me
and behold me; was e'er sorrow
like unto my sorrow" fixed the
mood for the Seven Last Words
themselves. Each word had its own
distinctive flavor, sometimes wild
and angry, and again, quiet and
full of love. In many of the Words
the voice Of Jesus was set off
against the best music in beautiful
opposition, heightening the drama
tic effect. In the first Word, the
baritone solo singing quietly, ga
ther, forgive them, for they know
not what they do, was made even
more penetrating by the almost
frightening quality of the chorus
portraying the crowds, singing:
He is death guilty, take Him, let
us cruelty Him."
Nowhere in all the stirring music
of the seven-part cantata, did the
choir rise to such heights as it did
when it sang the simple and tender
doxology, "Adoremus te, Christie
Christ, we do all adore Thee" With
it's peaceful, melodic notes, it pro-
vided a fitting climax, and portray
ed the thought of every Christian
who has ever understood the mean
ing of the crucifiXion:
Christ, we do all adore Thee,
and we do Praise Thee forever.
For on the holy cross hast Thou
the word from sin redeemed;
Christ, we do all adore Thee, and
we do praise Thee forever"
The choir, as an organization,
will not stop with this perform
ance. Because of the approval CIV
en- this concert, and because of the
offering received at Sundays per-
Torrance, the community choir is
already making plans for another
concert in the Fall. The offering re-
ceived will be used primarily to
purchase additional music for the
choir. Sundays program was re-
corded by both Radio Station
WKSB and WJWL, and will be re-
played by both these stations dur

"SOme people are like a billboard
an imposing front and a vacant
lot behind.S
If it is available to you, / sug-
gest that you read Anne Morrow
Lindbergh's fifth and latest book
intriguingly titled Gift from the
Sea-" Turning it's pages you will
catch rather intimate glimpses of
the character and life of a remark
able woman. Her fathers wealth
and diplomatic career afforded her
a wide background of culture and
many contacts with people of dis
tinction during her girlhood and
college years. This was supple
mented, after her marriage to the
noted flyer Charles Lindbergh, by
extensive travels to the far reach
es and was deepened by the tragic
kidnapping and murder of her first
born son. And out of the fullness
of her life, and with the background
of a husband and five children,
came the chapters of this book
which / commend for reading to
all seriously-minded people.
To whet your appetite to read
more / bring you now an extract
from the first chapter of this book.
in it she tells of separating her
self from contact with other people
by living alone for some time in a
small seashore cottage without
any of the usual conveniences.
No heat, no telephone, no hot wa
ter, a two-burner gas stove, no
gadgets to go wrong. No rugs; it
is easier to sweep off a bare floor
:. / began to shed my Martha-like
anxiety about many things. Wash
able slipcovers, faded and old

about the impressions they make
on other people. / am shedding my
pride"
And now comes the paragraph
that arrested my special attention
and which / wish to share with
you. Here it is:
Il shall ask into my shell only
those friends with whom / can be
completely honest / find that / am
shedding hypocrisy in human re-
lationships. What rest that will
be! The most exhausting thing in
life / have discovered is being in
sincere. That is why so much of
social life is exhausting; one is
wearing mask; have shed my
mask"

HEBREWS 3:10.-"That may know Him and the
power OF His resurrection. and may share His

1t is not idle to ask the question, "What do you
want most?" 1t is important to think clearly and
soberly about what want for what we want de-
termines where go and what we become. That
which is placed at the of life determines the
circumference of fs Life is process of selection
and the one who learns to select wisely and in har
mony with Gods will finds what is most valuable
and useful for life The Apostle Paul faced life and
made his decision. There were three things he
wanted. First, to know Christ that is the most i'm
portant decision which man can make. Second, he
wanted the power of this New Life, the power of
life that is victorious. Third, he wanted to enter
the fellowship of His suffering that he might
become participant in the redemption of the world

This church represents the His
toric Christian Faith both in Doc
trine and in Practice It takes the
position of the Scriptures that
Christians must abstain from every
appearance of EVIL. When leaders
of the church, its boards and agen-
cies, depart from the Doctrinal
Standards of the church and make
unChristian pronouncements in the
name of the church then it is time
to separate from such body. This
is the position of the Bible Presby-
terian. 1t maintains the purity of
the church and abstains from all
appearances of EVIL. Make this
your church and let your testimony
be counted on the Lords side. This
is your invitation to worship God
in Spirit and in Truth at the Bible
Presbyterian Church.
