Father Dominie of Mount Angel was
the guest of honor at a luncheon given
yesterday at the Portland hotel by the
Musicians' club of this city. The af
fair was a compliment to the composer
Upon the playing of his overture "The
Call of the West," by the Portland
Symphony Orchestra for the first time
at tha orchestra's last concert of the
season Friday afternoon of last week.
C. E. S. Wood. Frank Branch Riley
and David H. Wilson were Introduced
by president W. Oifford Nash to speak
for the club, but when the guest of
honor was introduced he modestly
whispered to Toastmaster Nash to say
for him, that "The overture expressed
his scntrnients.'.' About 30 members of
the club were present.
In speaking of music, literature and
art. Col. Wood said that art and
beauty alone are eternal and survive.
The beauty that Is part of what we
call soul belongs to the Immortal part
of man, whether he be material or
spiritual.
"Who cares nowadays in digging up
the burled ruins of that which was
once the glory of Greece," he said,
"to bother about the ashes of the past;
we search, rather, for the beautiful in
poetry and art, and for tablets that
reveal truth. Your mission in life,
gentlemen, is the creation of the beau
tiful and you are taking part In a
permanent work of all time, I have
known Father Dominic so many years
that I could not say all that I should
like to say In his presence. I could
not utter one syllable of anything bad
against him. 8uch is his modesty that.
If I were to tell , him what I think of
him; be would rather that I struck him
a blow on the cheek."
Mr. Riley gave an interesting sketch
of the guest of honor, from the ,time
he, at the age of 12, took up the study
of music In his home in Switzerland,
encouraged by his father, an editor and
publisher. The Intention was, ha said,
that young WaedenschwiUer was to be
come a professional musician, but the
. parish, priest urged that he rather be
come a priest, and so he became a
priest musician.
Mr. Wilson gave a technical analysis
of the overture "The Call of the West."
