Fine Concert

D By Male Chorus

A most enjoyable programme of music was presented last evening at Heart: Hall by the Charlotte- town Male Chorus and guest arr- Lats.

The choir of twenty-six voices was under the direction )I stanley Lancaster, and accompanied by Louise Cox. Appearing as guest art- ists were Barbara Rupert and tvancy McNevin. and Gwynneth Patterson. accompanied by Miss Lillian McKenzie.

Since its last public perform. slice. the chorus has apparently been very busy. which would no doubt account for the much more finished performance which they gave last night. Quite noticeable at times in their first appearance be- fore the public was the lack of

” unity in entrances, but last night

this fault was entirely missing. For the most. part. the chorus sings beautifully. especially in the sonar passages when the voices blend extremely well.

It is in the more fortissimo sec. tions that the tenors lose some of their quality, but this is more than balanced by the beautiful rolling "W95 01 ille bass section of the chorus.

'Presbyterian

Congress Meets

MONTREAL. June 6 - (GP) - The life. faith and worship of Church members may day of the week and in every area od life must be in active evidence if the Christian cause is to be a force in this world. the Presbyterian Con- gress was told today by Rev. James S. Clarke. secretary of the Board of Sabbath Schools and Young People's Societies.

The failure of Church members to take seriously the task of train- ing and teaching the young was blamed by Mr. Clarke as the rea- son for the weakness of the Church today.

"There is more peril to the Church because of our inner weak- ness than there ever was from the enemies without the Church." Mr. Clarke asserted. "But if we go on teaching with urgency and devo- tion, wc will share in the promise given to Peter that the gates of hell cannot prevail against the Church."

He stressed the part that parents play in creating a Christian home, and the necessity of establishing the faith in the atmosphere of the family.
