CHURCHES OBSERVE ARMISTICE SUNDAY Indianapolis Pastors Prepare Elaborate Programs and Interesting Sermon Topics for Tomorrow. SUNDAY will be observed all over the country as an occasion for emphasizing the moral and spiritual significance of the multi-lateral treaty for the renunciation of war. According to the estimate of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, which is promoting the dbservance of the day by the churches, tens of thousands of pulpits will find the center for the day’s worship in the Pact of Paris. Indianapolis churches will observe Sunday as desired by the council. In a special publication issued by the Federal Council's Commission on Internationa! Justice and Goodwill, practical suggestions for the
observance of the day are proposed., including the following: A four weeks’ study course in Bible classes, young people’s groups and mid-week church services x>n the proposal to renounce war. In the Sunday schools an emphasis on the cultivation of friendly attitudes toward and appreciation of the children of other lands and races. In the regular worship on Armistice day a brief memorial service for those who died in the World war, including the “Two Minutes’ Silence,” and a sermon on the possibilities of the Pact of Paris in ushering in new relationships among the nations. In pointing out the significance for the world peace of the Kellogg treaty the message of the Federal Council of Churches says: “In stressing support for the Pact of Paris, let Christian leaders make it clear that this treaty is not a panacea. It will avail little as a mere form of words. It will, however, mean anew era in human history if we, and all peoples take it seriously. With the prospect of war out of the picture, all the great world problems will stand on an entirely new footing—disarmament, security, inter-allied debts, treaty revisions, monopolistic control of raw matei’ials and of markets, “Stripped of all nonessentials and ambiguities, the issue comes to this: ‘Shall war be dethroned, condemned and renounced as a method for settling international disputes and for seeking • national objectives? Will the United States of America now solemnly pledge itself to these high ideals? And will the churches now give their wholehearted support to this challenging proposal’?”
BIG PROGRAM AT CHRISTIAN CHURCH Rally day and home-coming will be observed in the Fairfax nondenominational Christian church, corner Berwick and North streets, Sunday. The Sunday school service will feature a special program with each class contributing to its make up, and will be merged with the regular morning church service. The morning sermon, “The Essential Attitude of Christians Toward Unity,” will be delivered by the pastor, the Rev. F. W. Sumner, D.D., A.8., 8.5. L., P.S.D, In this address the Rev. Sumner will tell why the church of the future will recognize no denominations and why Fairfax went nondenominational about a year ago. A basket dinner at noon will bring together all the former members of the church, which was organized about fifteen years ago as the Union Sunday school. Meetings

dation of the overture by Mr. Krehbiel: One may forget both plays (Collin’s and Shakespeare's) while listening to Beethoven and go back to Plutarch and the Greek tragic poets for the elements of the music. They are the monumental ones illustrated in the "Prometheus” of Aeschylus and the "Oedipus” of Cophocles. Like Prometheus, Oedipus, Ajax and Pentheus, Corlolanus becomes Insolent In his pride and goes to destruction. He is noble, kind, good, courageous, but vainglorious In his pride of ancestry, position and achievement; and he falls. The elements in his character to which Beethoven has given marvelously eloquent proclamation are his pride, which leads him to refuse to truckle to the plebian tribunes; his rage which had stomach for destruction of Rome, and his tenderness which makes him yield to the tears of mother and wife and brings death to him. The moods are two; the first is published In the stupendous unisono C of the Introduction and the angry principal subject; the second. In the gentle and melodious second theme. The overture dies with mutterlngs in the depths; with pride unbroken. "Fantasia” for violin and orchestra. Op. 46 Max Bruch (Born at Cologne, Jan. 6, 1838; died at Berlin, Oct. 3, 1920.) This work Is familiarly known as the "Scottish Fantasia,” but its official title Is much more formidable and exact: the caption on the published score It. in translation. “Fantasis” (Introduction, adagio, cherzo, andante, finale) for the violin, with orchestra and harp, with the free use of Scottish folk-melodies. Bruch's favorite form of tonal stimulation appears to have been Scotch. He remembered “The Campbells Are Cornin’ ” (though he changed shme of its phrases) In his cantata, "Schon Elletf;’" he. wrote the male choruses, “Schottland's Tranen;” the song in Op. 38. No. 2; “The Bush a Boon Traqualr;” the piece for cello and piano, “Scottish,” Op. 70, No. 4, and the twelve Scotch folk songs. The “Fantasia” for violin. In the days when It was ne w( Bruch composed it In the winter of 1879-80;, seems to have aroused suspicion in certain British minds, and the alleged Scotch element was subjected to rigid analysis. The work was sometimes referred to as a Scottish concerto. which provoked the small-minded retort that it was not a concerto and not Scotch. But there is a catch in Bruch's title. It lies In that innocent phrase, "with the free use of Scottish folk melodies.” So. when belligerent hundred per cent Highlanders were assured of the presence of "Aul Rob Morris” In the first movement, "The Dusty Miller” In the second. “I'm a Doun for Lack o’ Johnnie” in the third, and "Scots Wha Hae” in the fourth, they remembered that Bruch was born in Cologne, and declared Indignantly that this was “Ersatz" Scotch and that their beloved tunes were “hardly recognizable." But the friends of Bruch pointed calmly to the phrase, “free use," and explained to the excited Highlanders that Bruch had

merely used the Scotch tunes as a starting point, and had altered them to suit his musical purposes; as, in “Schon Ellen,” he hadq taken liberties with the sacred “Campbells.” Bruch simply mixed his Scotch with the local Croton of Berlin; a fact which the ramping Highlanders would have realized if they had read more carefully the title of the work. They should not have hardened their hearts against. Bruch, any way; for was he not inspired to the composition of this music by reading the works of Sir Walter Scott? So. at least. It is said. Whether or not the “Fantasia” should hate been referred to as a concerto is a point which may be left, as Dr. Johnson preferred to leave the matter of personal Immortality, “In obscurity." Certainly Bruch in his title did not call it that. a a a READY FOR CONCERT CHOIR GETS
One of the major musical events of the fall season will take place Monday evening, Nov. 19, at the Murat when the Mendelsshon Choir, composed of 135 of the city’s leading singers, will give its annual Fall Concert under the direction of Elmer Andrew Steffen, with John Charles Thomas, America's noted baritone, as the guest artist of the concert. Under the baton of Steffen, the choir has acquired a high degree of vocal perfection which has deservedly placed it in the ranks of one of this country’s finest singing societies. The feature of the coming concert will be the observance of the centenary of the death of Franz Schubert who died Nov. 19, 1829. The choir will sing four of Schubert's choral compositions and Mr. Thomas will sing a group of Schubert songs. Several of the nine numbers to be presented by the choir will be sung without accompaniment. This is one of the most exacting task for any vocal organization and demands a perfect balance of voices, true pitch, clear articulation, correct phrasing and breathing and a well controlled command of dynamic expression. For a number of years many citizens of Indianapolis who are interested in the culture and musical progress of the city have enrolled themselves as associate members of the Mendelssohn Choir. a a a SCHOOL TO GIVE CONCERT A benefit concert for the Grace M. E. church will be given at the church on Tuesday night. Nov. 13. Students of the Indiana College of Music and Fine Arts and the Metropolitan School of Music will take part and are as follows: Thomas Broadstreet and Miss Mildred Schmedel, pupils of Glenn Friermood: Paul Munger, violin: Virginia Leyenberger. cello, and Erma Hawkins, piano, pupils of Adolph Schellschmidt; Wayne Berry, piano, pupil of Eleanora Beauchamp; Raymond Johnson, trumpet, pupil of Leslie Peck; Julia Louise Guess, harp, pupil of Ruth Renier Nessler, and William Cragen, reader, pupil of Frances Belk. Mrs. T. N. Wynne and Erma Hawkins will serve as accompanists.
