V THE ROCK ISLAND ARGUS. MOND AY, JUXE 13, 1910. 6 JUBILEE CONCERT ARTISTIC TREAT Three Thousand Persons Crowd Big Auditorium to Hear Program. MESSIAH CLOSING NUMBER Soloists In Splendid Voice AYenner berg and Handel Choruses and Chapel Choir Participate. Did you hear the jubilee concert at augustana Saturday evening? If you didn't, you missed the grand est musical treat ever given in this part of the country. Not only was it a success from an artistic and musical point of view, but also in the remark able attendance. When the doors of the big auditorium were thrown open, the crush w-as so great that all sem blance of order was lost. The reserved seat section was filled within a few minutes and then the remainder of the auditorium began to fill. Every ticket was finally sold and then the ticket sellers began to sell them over again. When the concert began every avail able seat in the great building was occupied and standing room was at a premium. It wa3 estimated that there were more than 3,000 persons in the hall, the receipts being approximately $1,250. And an enthusiastic audience it was, too. It was Impatient for the program to begin, and when the college orches tra finally broke out with Nicolai's "Festival Overture," the whole gath ering burst into applause. 'Wranerbers Makra Hit. The Handel oratorio chorus, more than 150 strong, formed a pretty pic ture as it sat on the long stage, with the college orchestra of 20 pieces im mediately in front. It is undoubtedly the largest chorus that has ever sung i.i the three cities. Bach's "God'-3 Time is Best." was the first number rendered by the chorus, but it was not until the "Messiah" was given that the full strength of the chorus was re alized. The jubilee Wennerberg chorus, consisting of present and old mem bers, was the first to score heavily. The audience commenced to applaud as soon as the chorus began to ascend the platform, and when it rang out with "The Star Spangled Banner" the entire audience was brought to its feet. Then Wennerberg's celebrated "Hear Us. Svea." was given, followed by "Bjorneborgarnas Marsch." At the conclusion of the number the applause was deafening, and in spite of the fact r And P. and G.

The jubilee chapel choir also made a decided hit with its group of three songs. Peterson-Berger's "Stemnlng," Lassen's "Thou Alone," . and Soder mau's "Wedding March." Judging from the precision with which the choir responded to every movement of Mrs. Lund's baton, one would be led to believe that the members had un dergone a careful training of months instead of being a mere reunion of for mer members of the organization. There is something classical about the manner in which the chapel choir sings that appeals to the most artis tic sensibilities of the listener. It had been the intention of the ora torio chorus to render the jubilee can tata written for the occasion by E. W. Olson of Chicago and set to music by Professor Lagerstrom of Minneapo.is. The music was not received in time, however, and made the rendition im- j possible. Instead, the author, Mr. Ol- j son, read the. cantata. It is an excep tionally fine piece of literary work and evoked much favorable comment. It is divided into fonr parts: The immi gration, the pioneers, the first temple, and the synod. MraMnh la Snng. The program closed with the sing ing of the "Messiah.'.' Too much praise cannot be given for the splendid work done by the chorus nor for the excel lent cooperation of the college orches tra. The latter worked with the cho rus as smoothly and efficiently as could a professional orchestra,, have done. The chorus was well, balanced in all its parts and was under the complete control of Mrs. Lund. The chorus was also ably supported by Miss Katherine Gest and Mrs. Winifred Sargent, or ganists, and Miss Effie Johnson, pi anist. Mrs. Lucille Tewksbury of Chicago, soprano, won even a stronger place than ever before in the hearts of all who heard her sing. The clear, ring ing evenness of her tones and the warmth of feeling that she exhibited in the , passages, "Come unto Him" and "I know that my Redeemer liveth," completely capitvated the audience. Her interpretation was superb, reveal ing a deep artistic temperament. Mrs. Henry Matthey of Davenport, alto, also deserves much praise for her work. Her rendition of "He Shall j Lead His Flock" was especially im-1 pressive, her rich, mellow voice being ! peculiarly adapted to the passage. The work of Albert Borroff of Chi cago, basso, was good, but his voice was not equal to the size of the hall.

NORELIUS Hcminds Candidates of Necessary Sacrifices of Professional Calling. Twenty-four new ministers were added to the Augustana synod yester day afternoon. The ordination service was one of the most solemn and im pressive scenes ever enacted here and was witnessed by more than 3.000 peo ple. The auditorium was filled to over flowing and hundreds were unable to secure admittance. The class which was ordained included 11 members of the seminary who graduated this year. The ordination-address was by Dr. B. Norelius, president of the synod. He reminded the candidates that they were entering upon a calling with small remuneration, that they would have 'to sacrifice worldly riches and ambitions, but that it was the highest and most exalted calling that a man can pursue. Dr. Xorelius' address was touching in its simplicity and wealth of fatherly advice contained in it. "If you have been prompted to take this step because of love love to God and love to your fellowmen then will your sacrifice not have been in vain; but if you have not heard the voice of love, then you are entering upon a dangerous step." KnKlInb Aditrena by Jacobson. The English address was by Dr. F. Jacobson of Brooklyn, X. Y., president of the New York conference. He said in part: "This occasion is one which calls upon us with the voice of solemnity to reflect that we are the servants of Him who taught with dignity, power and majestic unutterable. If the words of the scriptures are to be spoken with dignity and authority, they must be uttered with lips that would seem to be touched and per vaded by the fire of the altar. "Nothing can strike the tongue with so dead a palsy as the very thought of unworthiness in them to whom the power of authority is given. The majesty of truth herself has not al ways more power than the righteous ness and sanctity of them who are called to be ministers of the truth. When Drniona Laosh. "Oh, if demons laugh, if angels tremble, it is at the sight of a man who by profession is pressing on oth ers the importance of their salvation, while he is neglecting his own. It is a terrible thing to fall into eternal damnation from under the pulpiot, but, oh. it is a dreadful thing, beyond de scription, to fall thither out of it! "The heart tr?mbles at the thought that it is possible for the preacher, like the unbelieving spy. to coast the heavenly Canaan, to commend it to others, and yet never possess it him self! That while he preaches to oth ers. he may himself be cast aw ay. "Behold, he set out on the Christian ministry like some warship, with wav ing pennants, and with majestic sway; but the storms did beat, the waves arose, and faith and prudence were driven from the helm; and battered, tossed and rifted, she foundered amid rocks and shoals. DnoKT of Knonlrdnf. "By the power of eloquence and logic he was able to arrest attention, gain the hearts, and mould the senti ments of his audience, but it was his calamity that he too well knew and felt his ability. My brethren, the great er your intellectual powers are, the greater your need of grace to guide them. Let it be your fervent prayer that the talents and abilities you have received from your Creator may be incased in the grace of God and daily sanctified by the Holy Spirit. "If some of you possess but moder ate talents, envy not the lofty minds of ;he eloquent and able. The higher you rise, the greater is your liability to fall. The only all-important and de sirable gift is the grace of God. " It gives dignity to your high office in a manner that cannot come through the channel of great intellectual endow ment, however desirable and valuable this may be in the service of humility. His great excellence Is seen as he is viewed distinct from talents and re quirements." Impressive Ceremony Enartrd. Following a song by the Moline First Lutheran church choir, the ordination ceremony commenced. Rev. .1. G. Dahl berg. secretary of the synod, read the names of each of the candidates and the places to which they have been called. The candidates look their places arovnd the altar and were sur rounded by 48 ministers and Bishop von Scheele and President Xorelius. Commencing with Dr. Norelius, each minister read a bible verse bearing on the duties of a ministe. Bishop von Scheele read the commission which Christ gave his apostles when he sent them out into the world. The candidates then read the apos tolic confession in unison and replied to the questions of Dr. Norelius, who then declared them to be ministers of the Evangelical Lutheran church. Then occurred the most Impressive part of the ceremony the laying on of hands. While the candidates knelt at the altar, they were surrounded by the ministers who laid their hands on their heads and sang Psalm No. 132, : "O. Thou Holy Spirit, Come to Us." The Lord's prayer was then repeated and the candidates were handed their ministerial letters. Kaunea of IV ew Minister. - Those who were ordained follow:. C. O.lGulleen, C. E.

Monster Communion Service. The celebratipn of the Lord's sup per yesterday morning was one of the most impressive ceremonies dur ing the jubilee.

BISHOP AT -THE AIRD0ME "Our Chester," Davenport Matinee Idol, Here for a Week. Chester Bishop, who gained the ap pellation of "the pink tea comedian" while at the head of the Princess Stock company, Davenport, during the past season, is spending the summer on the Clover Leaf airdome circuit. He is due to begia a week's engage ment this evening at the Rock Island airdome on Eighteenth street. Mana ger R. H. Taylor of the airdome, in an nouncing the coming of Bishop and the Princess Stock company, says: 'Our Chester,' as Mr. Bishop has been affectionately termed by his ad mirers In Davenport, where he played throughout the past season, aside from being one of the handsomest young men engaged in theatrical work, is an excellent actor. I don't blame the women for admiring him. Believe if I was a 16-year-old I'd lose my head over him myself. They say in Daven port that his picture adorns hundreds of the private homes. Perhaps you recall that at the close of the regular season at the Princess theatre there this spring, Chester held a reception on the stage of the theatre, and there wa3 a bigger rush than at a silk bar gain sale. He's surely the bonbon buddie in the .burg across the way. With it all, he is a charming young man, and thoroughly engrossed in his professional work. He heads a strong company that will be presented here." AT THEY. M. C. A. The B. G. M, held its regular weekly meeting yesterday afternoon in the Y. M. C. A. chapel with a large attendance.
