-Christ In the most effective manner"
writes an admirer of the choir. "Mrs.
John F. Spencer's contralto voice was
rich In sweetness and resonance . as
soloist In the quartet. 'Verily I Say
Unto Thee Today Shalt Thou Re
With Me In Paradise.' George Posch-
er' tenor solo 'It Is Finished" with
chorus was splendid and full of feel-
ing. Mr. Doscher having stayed over

Interesting to his many friend who
were there to hear him for the last
time. 'Father Into. Thy Hands I Com-
mend My Spirit.' was given beauti-
fully by Frank Colby . baritone aolo-
lut with chorus. Mr. Colby interpre-
tation . was excellent and moat Im-
pressive. Ha sang the 'Recitatives' In
very reverent . way. and gave the
story of the cantata most acceptably.
"The finished 'Pianissimo' ' chorus
'Have We K Tears to 8Hed?' was ex-
cellent In beauty of tone and .tha
contrast between thla and the laat
number The Earthquake' waa strik
ing
"The choir of eight voices Bounded
as If there might be M voices ao full
and beautiful It waa. The entire ren
dltlon waa a work oi art and gave
much joy 'to the 'hearers. Miss
Dorothy Shrlner and W. R. Shrlner's
staging added much to tha sweetness
of the program as did also tho voice
of Mlas Jean Krwtn a new singer in
Houston. Lawrence Humasoa'a clear
tenor was enjoyed greatly.
Tho music of St Paul's choir la al
VI ays of tha highest type and every
detection la full of reverence and in-
splraUon Mrs. Williamson and her
choir always having- program's that are
worth while."

Choir Repeats Oratorio
"The Holy City" by Oaul was sung
as the Easter message at the First
Presbyterian church under the direc-
tion of Ellison Van Hoose with Miss
Louise Daniel-at the organ and waa
repeated last Sunday. The oratorio
abounds In pretty choruses with solos
trios and quartets interspersed. The
double chorus work was an especially
pleasing feature of the presentation
the entire choir giving the oratorio
with much finish.
"At Eventide It Shall Be Light"
was sung as a trio In the first part of
the oratorio by Mrs. William Ahrlng
Mrs. Vlrgle Hardie Qlllan and Mrs. F.
M. Johnson. Bryan Shanahan Inter-
preted effectively the solo "No. Shad-
ows' Yonder" sung with chorus and tho
tenor air following 'My Soul Is Athfrst
for God" while In the bass aria "A
New Heaven And a New Earth" Ray-
mand E. Lee exhibited a good voice.
Ralph Miles singing the tenor aria
"To the Lord Our God" gave one of
the most beautiful numbers of the
oratorio his tones being: fresh and
sweet.
In the second part the air for bass
"And I Heard the Voice of Harpers"
sung by C. G. Elliott was accompan-
ied by an obligato and chorus of wom-
en's voices. Mrs. Ahrlng sang the ob-
ligate -pie quartette. In the second
part was composedof Mrs. D. D.
Krahl. Mrs. Vlrgle Hardee Gillan
Ralph Miles and J. F. Meyer Jr. A
beautiful effect was obtained in the
singles of the chorus "Great and Mar-
velous Are Thy Works" by the use
of an antlphonal rholr composed of
Mrs. D D. Kralil Mrs. W. .1. Dawson
Mrs. Vlrgle Hardee Gillan Mrs. F. M.
Johnson and J. F. Meyer Jr.
The choir exhibited careful training
and acquitted Itself most creditably
throughout the presentation. The at-
tacks were excellently made and there
waa no hanging onto closing notes.
Shading and diction were also out-
standing features of the chorus work.
Mr. Van Hoose has made oratorio
work a feature of his choir this year
selections from the most famous ora-
torios having been given each Sunday
night for some time. The singing of
the entire oratorio "-The Holy City"
was a crowning accomplishment for
the choir In the work of this kind.
