There is no modern cantata of
moderate difficulty more generally
known through frequent repetitions
nnd more generally n favorite than
Alfred R. Gaul's "The Holy City.'
Its rendition on Wednesday evening
at tho First M. E. church will af
ford an evening of pleasure, especi
ally to those who desire to see
church music in Medford advanced
to the same standard of progressive
ness observable in other lines. The
Methodist choral socioty deserves
(treat credit for undertaking a work
of this character, thereby stamping
its disapproval npon music not in
keeping with a dignified nnd uplift
ing service. Tho triiHhy ditties nnd
jingles that have crept into Sunday
school hymnals should bo relegated
to a period where pof-sibly thoy did
somem evangelical good among ig
norant peoples, but which should not
be tolerated ns consistent in giving
praise to the One who is tho creator
of music in its highest forms.
A general ndmission of 35 cents
will be charged to defray expenses
and provide n music fund for suc
cessfully carrying on the work of
tho choir. A delightful evening is
in store for nil who ottoad and
thereby show their interest in nnd
approval of tho work this organiza
tion is doing.
