Musical Festival. 
The St. Peter’s Episcopal church 
choir gave its annual festiva] Thurs- 
day evening, a week ago, the church 
being crowded to the doors with the 
members of the parish and the music 
lovers in this vicinity. For some time 
past the choir, under the direction of 
its efficient choirmaster and director 
Leo C. Demack, have been hard at 
work rehearsing for this event, the 
selections being among those used in 
the leading churches in the large 
cities. The entire program was 
rendered in a manner reflecting great 
credit on the choir. The harmony and 
blending of their voices was most 
beautiful. Each number was given 
with the dignity and reverence that 
should characterize church music. 
The choir was assisted by Master 
Leonard Scorgie, soprano soloist at 
the Advent church; Master Joseph 
Bruce Burke, soprano, and Master 
Frank Hancock of St. Paul’s choir, 
Boston. 
In the anthem, ‘“‘ Lovely Athens,” 
Master Leonard Scorgie sang the 
solo, ‘« Ye mountain, ye beautiful hills, 
bow ye down,” and at the offertory, 
‘*Come unto me,” by Striner. Master 
Scorgie has a voice of rare purity, his 
range and volume of tone is remark- 
able. Especially pleasing was_ his 
easy manner of singing and enuncia- 
tion. In the anthem, “I desire wis- 
dom,” Stainer, Masters  Scorgie, 
Burke and Hancock sang the difficult 
trio, ‘* When Jesus was born in Beth- 
lehem of Judea,” their young voices 
blending beautifully. In the anthem, 
“Lovely Athens,’ Master Frank 
Hancock rendered the alto solo in a 
finished manner, his rich and beautiful 
voice being heard to beautiful effect. 
The work of the chorus was steady 
and even, and at all times the attacks 
and expression marked were carefully 
observed. Leo C. Demack, the choir- 
master, presided at the organ and di- 
rected the entire program. Great 
credit is due him for this delightful 
festival, and we trust that he will long 
remain with us to repeat his success 
of this occasion. Rev. E. J. V. Hui- 
guinn, the rector, delivered.a short 
but powerful discourse on the necessi- 
ty of having church music at all times 
reverent and dignified.
