SCHUBERT PRCCRAM Al MIISIC ClllB

Mrs. Allan B. Cosh Gives Interesting Paper On Life Of Composer.

I

I'M Schubert prcg. , the sublefit of the Women's Music Club meeting of February 20th, was thamushly enloyed this year. u ai- ways. “Schubert" has come to be an annual event on the club's pm. srammes and is indeed i; very p165;- ing one. .

Mrs. Cosh, in her very fine paper on the life of Franz Schubert, said that in writing about his life there are two outstanding points that strike one very forcibly-never has a musician lived such a colorless- life, void of stirring events; on the other hand, never has a genius poured forth such an outburst of song and harmony.

Music and music alone was to him all in all—~his only mode of ex- pression. To the superficial lover of music the name of Schubert sug- gests four or five things-“The Un- finished Symphony," "rhe Erl King," “The Wanderer," "Hark, Hark the Ian-k." and “Who ‘Is Syl- vie." but these are only an iniim itesimal part of his enorlnoug achievement of symphony, sonata, mass. opera, quartet, octet and song.

Franz Peter Schubert was born in Vienna. in i797, lived his life and died there in i828. His early pre- dilection for music was given every encouragement and _at the age of eleven he came under she influence of Salieri the most eminent of It- alian musicians in Vienna. Schubert derived great benefit from Salieri ln the study of counterpoint and fugue.

At the age of seventeen Schubert became a school teacher and it is surprising to learn that these three years of teaching were among his most prolific in composition and during them he wrote some oi the works'which have made his name immortal. The statistics for these three years carry a romance of their own In 1814 he wrote ten compo- sltions and twenty songs.

In 1815 he wrote thirty-eight compositions and one hundred and twenty-six songs.

In 1816 he wrote thirty-four com- positions and ninety-five songs. There were eight songs with data of composition the one day, and seven dated three days later. Schubert had a. long list oi de- voiod friends, amongst them. Spaun. lvliayerhoier, Vogl and Franz von Schober who persuaded Schubert to give up the, uncongenial task oi teaching and live with him so Schube“. could devote himself whol- ly to his art His brother Ferdinand was also deeply stashed to hlm and it was in his arms that Franz Schu- bert died at the age of thirty-om years. One biographer has said "There has never been one like him and never will be again." Franz Schubert did not sufler much from opposition, prejudice or envy but from simple lack of rec- ognition during his short life. He occupied his time in pouring out compositions of all kinds which publishers looked upon with Indif- ference, grudgingly accepting a few towards the close of his life. Yet hi; mighty genius rose triumphant over the numbing atmosphere of medidcrlw and the name of Schu- bert suggests at once everything that is poetical and romantic in mulic. "In the whole range of composers it may be truly said that no one was so loved as he. 110 011B has the happy power of attracting the admiration and affection of his

Roosevelt - Signs Soil Conservation Subsidy B i I l

(A. P.

In a statement, the President said the law represented an attempt to develop e. "long time program for American agriculture." He added, however, that he did not regard the measure as a “pan- acea or as a final plan.” “Ratherfl Mr. Roosevelt said, "I consider it a new basis to build and improve upon, as eiqlcrience dis- closes its points of weakness and oi strength. “Aiming at Justice for agriculture and self interest for the nation, the plan seeks to salvage and conserve the greatest values in human life and resources with which this na- tion is endowed" The President this week will ask Congress for $500,000,000 in taxes to finance the new farm relief pro- gram.

::No More Teapots From Scottish Pottorlw-A very old and charming industry ls threatened with extinc- tion in Scotland. This is the

of earthenware teapots, and its last stronghold is in the old East loch- ian village of Prestoapans, where one pottery only remains out of four which used to supply the East Coast and export large quantities to South America. The clay used in the pot- ‘teries was imported from Devon and mixed with a proportion oi ‘local clay, and beautiful shades oi blue and green were reproduced, besides the brown glue which is commonly associated with earthen- ware teapots. The failure of this local industry is a loss to tea-drink- ing as well as to the village, for tea- taeters agree that earthenware is the best container for the delicate

A lars¢ congregation was in at- tendance at the morning service, ten o'clock yesterday The Roy. 11'. E. Bishop, speaking from Se, M“- thew 22:35-38 took as his theme "The Great Requirement." Love is the great commandment, the heart of the law, the heart of the gospel. In the absence of love, what remains of either?

Christianity asks that we should love-love in reality, sincerity and truth. One objects with the qua- tlon "who can compel love?" He who utters the command supplies the power for its performance, the Bivi-vlt and the example. As we eon- iemplate the love of God for us we are warmed and inspired to put love in action coward the need of our fellows. The Sunshine oi God's love has a. creative and fructiiying Dower, love is fostered by the gra- cious example oi the Master and by sympathetic contemplation oi the needs of mankind. look upon the love of God! Look upon human needs! Use what we find of sym- pathy and compassion and love in our hearts. and in use it shall grow. A world in which there is so much beauty is meant for the triumph of love.

The morning anthem was “O love that wilt not let me go" with Miss Pearl Burns taking the contralto S0 0.

The subject of Mr. Bishop's even- ing sermon was “The words of Jesus." Matthews’ "Fairest Lord Jesus" was sung at the evening ser- vice, and immediately following. the Communion of the Lord's Supper was observed.

ST. PETBRfS CATHEDRAL

The Rev. Canon ‘Banks officiat- ed at all three of the services in St. Peter's Cathedral yesterday. At the 1i o'clock sung Eucharist a. ‘Lenten pastoral from the Bishop of the Diocese was read. At Evensong the first of a course of sermons for the Sunday evening of Lent was preached, which dealt with Bap- tism. All three services were well attended.

mmrry UNITED orroncn

Owing to We Kinffs broadcast message at 12.00 noon, the mom- ing service started at 10.00 a. m with a good congregation and a full choir. It was Communion Sun- day and Rev. Mr. Miller's sermon was from Hebrews 8. 7 and 8, "To- day ii you will near his voice, harden not your heart". The symp- tom of the malady is loss o! sen- sitiveneas. The causes leading to it are heedlessness. How frequently our lives are tied up to false ex- cuses and reasons . We have heard and we hardened our hearts. Other causes are self deception, procras- tination, the deceitfulness oi sin and then familiarity-the uncon- scious influence of neglected appeal and continuous contact. We are in danger oi becoming so familiar to the blessings of the Gospel and tho appeals of God that we remain un- affected. Mr. Miller's closing mes- sage was “Today we hear again the voice of God. Again we are touched with the passion of our Lord. Again Christ comes to us in breaking of bread and the fmll; 0f the wine. Again we are brought to Calvary to behold once more the deoeitfulness of sin and the triumph of love. Let us pray that our hearts be not hardened. May God create within us clean hearts and renew e. right spirit within us. "Today if ye will hear his voice harden not your hearts."

The special efforts put forth for the increase of religious edumtlon through the Sunday School ha; re- sulted in a satisfactory increase in attendance over a year ago. Yes- terday the attendance was 303. Owing to a remodelling of the heating apparatus Hearts Hall will not be available for meetings for the next two weeks. therefore the mid-week service will be held in the Social Hall.

At the evening service luv. Mk. Barbour had charge of the open- ing ceremonies. The choir-sang the anthem, "O Saviour of the world" and Rev. Mr. Miller preached an impressive sermon on the text Mark 4th chapter, forty-first verse. "What manner of man is this" and pfm- 2.000 years the challenge comes m us today. 1r is rm amt
