Weekly Sunday School Lesson

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for March p. Jesus Proclaims the Kingdom of <od. BY’ WM. E. GILROY’, D. D. Editor of The Conurcsationalist THE lessons for the first quarter of this year have dealt with the early ministry of Jesus. This ministry of Jesus centers in the proclamation of the Kingdom of God. But this expression, “the Kingdom of God,” is in danger of being misunderstood, or perverted from its true significance, through too much emphasis upon the ideas of “kings” and “kingdom” as these have been manifest and persistent in history. Kingdom of Love “King” and “kingdom,” in their role in human life, are associated with rule, and with the authority of man over man. But in the Kingdom of Heaven, the only authority is the law of love from within—a law of love finding its source and authority in the love of God and expressing itself in the response of man to truth and goodness, in all his relationships both toward God and to his fellowmen. The heart of it all is expressed in John 3:16. “For God so loved the I world that he gave his only be- ! gotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.” And in an epistle of John we have the philosophy and theology of it compressed into three words. "God is love.” If that is true, it changes the whole aspect of life and the world for man. Manifesting Grace It was to declare and manifest the truth of this that Jesus came. This lies at the depth and height of his ministry. The details of his ministry are but manifestations of this elmental grace of God. The healing of the sick, the giving of sight

In addition to the playing of a Beethoven and Brahms sonata for violin and piano, Mr. Gabrilowitsch and Thibaud will be heard in a group of solos for their respective instruments.

No student or teacher of violin or piano can afford to miss this concert, which *is under the direction of the Ona B Talbot Fine Arts Enterprises, who offer choice seats “for further musical appreciation” for sl.

April 23, at the Murat, under the direction of Elmer Andrew Steffen, will establish a newhigh standard in choral work. Three leading soloists of the Chicago Civic Opera Company will assist the choir. These artists will be Irene Pavloska. soprano; Forrest Lamont, tenor, and Virgiiio Lazzcri. basso. The program of solos, duets and trios of these artists, whose fame is known throughout the country, will lend to the concert all the essentials of real grand opera. The Mendelssohn Choir itself will sing excerpts from no less than eight different operas. Steffen will have over 150 singers for this concert. In the various choruses these singers will impersonate students, townspeople, spirits, witches, cossacks, soldiers, priests, angels, ambassadors, monks and Russian nobles known as boyards. In the difficult accompaniments of the orchestral score four pianists will assist, including Frank St. Ledger, who is now director of the National Opera at Washington; Bomar Cramer, Willard McGregor and Paul R. Matthews, who is the regular accompanist for the choir. The chief choral offering will be the Coronation scene from Moussorgsky's “Boris Goudonoff.” This eight-part mixed chorus will be made effective by an enlarged male section of nearly seventy-five voices in which the thundering, deep Russian basses sing out a joyous welcome to their new' czar. Another eight-part chorus will be the rendition of the choral prologue from Boito's “Mefistofele,” “Hear Thou My Prayer,” sung by the angels. “The Song of the Scythe from Mascogni's,” “Cavalleria Rusticana” and the “Bell Chorus” from Leoncavallo's Pagliacci will be sung to in - terpret the tuneful and melodious Italian opera of which the public never seenis to tire. Lovers of Wagnerian opera will hear a splendid excerpt from Wagner’s first opera, “Rienzi". “The Battle Hymn." calling the Romans to arise and expel tlie invading foe. This latter number will be sung by male voices. The women’s voices, nearly 100 in number, will be heard in Puccini's Flower chorus from "Madame Butterfly.” Some of the choruses will be sung in the native vernacular of tlie operas and others will be in English. a a a THE Metropolitan School ol Music will present a number of students in a recital Saturday afternoon in the Odeon at 3 o'clock.

to the blind, the restoring of life to the dead, are all symbolic of this loving kindness of God and his yearning to restore men and women from all in the world, and in their experience, that has been out of harmony with his gracious purpose. There are, of course, great questions that arise in connection with this Gospel of grace and \ts manifestation. Whrtice come sin? Whence disease, and sorrow, and death? Why, if God is love and God is all powerful, is human life subject to such trial and travail? To these questionings we have found an answer in the powers of man himself. He is .not driven into love and righteousness, but he has the power of choice. But beyond this we find a strange mystery in the universe, a mystery as yet unsolved, but a mystery, if we could sec it in its fullness. that we should find probably inevitably associated with the conditions of man’s rise to glory. The Balance If there were no oossibility of fall and failure, there would be no possibility of triumph. If there were no trial and sorrow, the probability is that there would be no meaning to joy and satisfaction. But into this universe with its sin and mystery, its sorrow and its distress, Jesus brings the beauty of a glorious Gospel, manifest in the richness and perfection of a good life. “He came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” That was the ministry of Jesus. It is in responding to that ministry, and bringing the motive power of it into our own lives in seeking to minister in His spirit and with Him, that we find the way to God and our place in His kingdom.

Paderewski

On Sunday afternoon, April 1, Ona B. Talbot will present Paderewski in concert at the Murat. bunco party and dance Thursday evening. The party will be held in the Odeon of the school. Carl Grouieff, violinist of the Metropolitan School of Music, will be the soloist Sunday morning tor the young men’s Bible class of the Third Christian Church. a a a OF Oscar Scagle, who will come April 2 for a master class in voice at the Indiana College of Music and Fine Arts, the New' York Sun says of a recital given in Guild Hall. March 11: Those who know Mr Seasle's uncommon art will be confident that he met all the requirements of his program, which was of excellent variety and an exacting kind. This baritone, heard all too seldom, has a sound vocal technic and a mastery of style. Ills remarkable ability to carrv head tones down to the foot of his scale enables him to make the most delicate gradations in dynamics and to achieve an unusual range ot color. His singing of Cut's "Enfant, si i’etais roi'" was one of the distinguished song recitals of u full season. Mr. Seagle will arrive on Monday. April 2. and give his lir§t lecture that evening, the subject of which will be, "Breathing and Breath Support." On April 4. “Tone Placement and Tone Coloring": April 6, “Technique, Asa Means of Expression”; April 9. “Singing a Divine Inspiration." and April 11, “The Use of Resonance.” tt a tt A RECITAL will be given at the Cadle Tabernacle tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock by the B. W. Hoover concert orchestra. Christine Wagoner D. Roush is director, Jean Duthic at the piano. Helen Harrison, harpist, and Margaret Rasbach. orchestra soloist, rendering the folowing progrtm: "Spring Sorts" Mendelssohn Selection. ' 1 Student Prince". .Romberg "Berceuse" < Jocelyn I Godard Solo "The Nichtins lie" . .Batten Overture, "The While Queen"...... Metro Orchestration Selected The last number 'to be played will be one of the most sacred and beautiful ever written. This number will be followed by prayer by D. H. Duncan, superintendent of the Tabernacle Sunday school, at which time Miss Helen Harrison, harpist, will play “It is V/ell With My Soul.” a it tt APRIL, with nil its traditional surprises, will give to Indianapolis its full measure in the remarkable concerts scheduled for this month under the direction of the Ona B. Talbot Fine Arts Enterprises. Beginning with the very first day, April l, the supreme musician, Ignace Jan Paderewski, will be hoard in recital. The follovig Sunday, Easter Sunday, April 8. the young genius of the violin. Jascha Heifetz, will be heard. Monday evening, April 16, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, with the Dayton Westminster Chcir, will give its contribution to spring in a great program of choral and orchestral works. April 29 the world's greatest songster. Amelia Galli-Curei. will present her deferred concert. With this concert the musical season under the direction of the Ona G. Talbot Fine Arts Enterprises will close. During the musical season ol 192425 Paderewski devoted his entire time and energy to repaying, within his means, the services differen, European countries had rendered his own Poland during the war. He gave two charity concerts in Switzerland as a token of gratitude for the hospitality the latter country had extended to his compatriots. In England. he gave five concerts for the benefit of the British legion, for which King George bestowed upon him the Grand Cross of the British Empire, and in Italy the proceeds of seven recitals w'ent to the fund for orphans of soldiers w'ho had fallen during the war. Within the last two years Paderewski has played in Paris six times for various worthy causes. While in America on his last tour Paderewski donated the box-office receipts of two concerts to the American Legion and his final appearance in New York was lor the benefit of the East Side Children’s School settlements. In this princely nianne*. Paderewski had tried to show his gratitude and appreciation to all the people who stood by his country in the hour of need and helped Poland regain her liberty, materially or morally. American “system” is producing efficient musicians rather than artistic ones, in the opinion of Jascha Heifetz, distinguished violinist who will be heard here on Sunday afternoon, April 8. under the local management of Ona B. Talbot. “Why strive to manufacture pianists when the player piano is in the field already?” Heifetz asks. “More music and less method is my advice. “What Americans like to refer to as this or that ‘method’ of violin or piano playing is most nonesense. There is no such thing as ‘method,’ so far as artists are concerned. For small children, perhaps, it is sometimes advisable to invent a system of teaching that will interest as well as instruct. But among recognized musicians and leading

teachers, the only ‘method’ is the ‘right way to play.’ Individual performers naturally have their individual styles of playing, but to speak of Hoimann's method or Paderewski's method or Auer's method is as stupid as to imagine that Rodin modeled by a certain method or that Michael Angelo learned to paint by a method. “All this talk about “music methods” is characteristically American. Americans are fond of system. Everything must be done according to specified models and plans. There can be but one result ot such a nation-wide practice and that is to turn out pupils practically the way factories turn out clocks or automobile tires. There is little thought given to personality or art. The main thought is to produce efficient players rather than musicians.” * ana THE Bel Canto opera class of the Irvington School of Music is preparing a costume performance to be given in April under the direction of Signorina Gertrude Conte. The Philathea class of the Irvington Methodist Church has voted to sponsor this production and have it presented at the beautiful auditorium of the Methodist church at the North Audubon Circle. Mrs. Allen Vesta! and Mrs. F. R Taylor are officers in charge for the Philathea class, and Mrs. Eva liogle is chairman of the publicity committee. This is the third year Miss Conte lias presented artistic performances:, which are colorful, lively and display fine vocal ability. At the last two performances plays written by Miss Conte wwere presented. This year a.scene arranged from her "Fantasia on Franz Von Vecsey” will be presented.- As her works have a good moral teaching they are especially in demand in church organizations such as the Philathea class. The performance is open to the public. The date will be announced later. Notice is given to the member of
