SERVICE OF . SONG.
The choir of the Seaforth Presby-
terian Church gave'their first render-
ing of Stainer's cantata, "The Cruci-
fixion," on Sunday evening last, and
were heard by an audience that al-
most filled the ground floor and
gallery of .the church. As this
world -famed sermon in song unfold-
ed itself from the, opening Geth-
semane scene to the closing hymn
of praise, "All for Jesus," it was
more and more felt to be in very
truth, "A. Meditation on the Sacred
Passion of the Holy Redeemer." In
the haunting strains and stirring
depth -notes of the organ as well as
in solo, duet, singleand double
quartet, and choral work, this cen=
tral fact of the "Sacred Passion"
was ever in view, and it gave to the
whole service a corresponding quality
of peculiar sacredness.
As a medium of interpretation the
organ has seldom revealed such
range and reality of _spiritual and
emotional expression as it did on this
a
occ Milne M 1ne Renniesg or an-
ist, answered 'the, appeal of the
musical theme in a rendering that
was illuminating as well assym-
pathetic throughout. In passages of
greatest pathos, such as "There was
darkness over all the earth," the very
heart of the organ seemed to utter
itself in a roll of plaintiveness that
stirred an echo in the reverent hear-
ers. Very impressive also were the
subdued notes accompanying the
word "Crucify," and the phrase "ev'n
death sof the cross." Under the, sway
or the Organist the instrument ranged
in its effects from depths of solemn-
ity to contrasted effects that were
exultant and dominant. The organist
gave the best possible support to the
singers.
The choir esi a whole did excel-
lent work in expressing • the varied -
and varying sentiments and passions
of their wonderful theme, "Fling
wide the gates" gave opportunity for
joyous, triumphant . harmonies, and
they came forth in confident and very
musical volume from the whole body
of songsters. In various solo and
duet passages a very stelling effect
of emphasis was secured by the hill
chorus sounding forth on a .phrase,
such as- "I thirst," of the Saviour's
dying moment; and a similar em-
phasis was given by the double men's
quartet to the words of Christ.
"Verily, I • say, unto thee, to -day
shalt thou be with Mein Paradise."
The choir reached a high effective-
ness in "I adore Thee" in -'the hymn,.
"The Adoration of the Crucified";
and the clear ring of triumph in deep-
est suffering was well brought out
in "The Appeal of the Crucified,"
especially in the words, "They shout-
ed against Me, Crucify"; also in the
repeated question "Is it nothing to
you?" and in'.the pleading re -echo -
ng appeal, ,"Oh, -Cone Unto Me."
The trinity emotions of wonder, love
and praise issued very tunefutlly.fro-n

TUXIS SQUARE
On Tuesday evening Last the Tuxis
Square 'met in the club rooms The
rollcall showed that Bob -Dayman,
Fred Willis and Gib White were ab-
sent. Every member of the Square
had to give a short talk on a Bible
character, but Bunny Edmunds was
unprepared, so we expect an extra
speech from him at the next meeting.
The main issue of the evening was
a debate, Resolved that - there is a
Hellas described in the Bible. R. Wil-
lis and A. Sillery represented the af-
firmative and M. Savauge and J.
Frost the negative. Well, the affir-
mative • sere proved to the negative
that there .:was a Hell because they
came out five points to the good.
After the debate, the Square played
some exciting games, butthey didn't
have any disastrous effects. On
Thursday evening, April 1st, Mrs, E.
R. Crawford will entertain the mem-
bers of the Tuxis Square at her resi-
dence. -A. W. Sillery,-Scriptor.
