Manney'a Resurrection. The cantata possesses some striking features in choral presentation of an old and familiar theme. With so many works, some from the pens of the world's, masters in aaered music» written around the theme of the Resurreelion, it is extremely difficult to intrr- ■ iuce any new departure. (ha-.. Manney, however, bask achieved the task with singular sueThe clioir gave an exceedingly, pleasing performance, especially when the number of voices h taken Into prise, how so few could have produced o great u volume of music. The. presentation of th" theme revealed , careful training. The in- • rprotation was creditable, and the o|n parts sung effectively. The mezzo solo, "God Shalt, Wipe Away "All Tears," sung by Jdrs. |Fogg, . was an exquisite number. The linger made 'he best possible use of a signulariy j.wect voice, and was happy in J or interpretation. Mary Magdalene's lament at the grave, sung by Miss Marion Osier was also a distinct success. The singer -ucceeiiad admirably "in throwing into prominence, .the despair and sorrow, rendering the heart of Man' at the grave. The male vocalists were also deserv- . ing of high praise. The performance in its entireity reflecting great credit ■ upon the director, Mr. Crowdcr. ' _ Preceding the cantata. Rev. Dallas Oopc preached a powerful and- impressive discourse upon the intcrrogatjnn. "What Think Ye of Christ"? It was an eloquent tribute of glory to Christ. The preacher ran through the vast ranges of ancient and modern literature, and brought from every land and age, the adoring praise the masters minds of history, have laid at the feet ot Jesus. . .■addition to the cantata, Mr. ' 10 .Jntfontrfbuted a solo, written "T liJ A.™ pt i v i t y in Babylon, in splendid ?S,and form.
