St. MARY'S CHURCH.

RECITAL BY THE CHOIR. The not nnnntnral apprehensions that the success of the recital by St. Mary's choir on Monday evening would be marred by the inclement weather were agreeably disappointed, for despite the cold and boisterous eveninar, the church was fairly well filled, and everything pasied ofE most successfully. The recital was opened •with the chorus, " Gloria " (Mozart), whioh was given with much effect, rs indeed might have been expected, as at n previous recital this item was among the best then rendered. Miss Carrington'e solo, "Minster Window," »vas given in Buch a way as to fully maintain the general opinion of this favorite vocalist's musical gifte. The chorus, "Quoniam," (Mozart) succeeded, and was followed by the solo, " It ia Enough " (Mendelssohn), into which Mr. Webster certainly enfused much pathos. The aria, "I Know that My Redeemer Liveth " (Handel), was highly appreciative, and was given by Mrs. Drew with unusual feeling and expression. The expression o£ the chorus, "Alpha and Omega" (Stainer), was •jso a marked feature, and the time was very perfect, Mrs. Hall's rich and full-toned contralto voice was heard to great advantage in the aria, "O Rest ia the Lord" (Mendelssohn), which was undoubtedly one of the gems of the evening. Tho next item was the chorus, "In the ßeginniug " (Allen). The solo, "Creator, when I see Thy might" was alfio a pleasing contribution, and was rendered by Mr. Tribe with much precision and taste. Misb Solo's vocalisation would perhaps be most correctly pronounced ns effective in the beautiful number, "He Leadeth me through Many Waters" (Gill.) Mrs. Drew was agnin heard to great ad vantage and evinced much t&ste in the eolo part of the chorus, "Seek ye the Lord. ' Another pleasing contribution was Mr. Crawford's aolo, "The Dream" (Hadyn). Mr. Crawford has a very smooth and musical bass voice, and to say that the item was sung with pathos but partly indicates its effect. The recital was brought to a close by the chorus, " I will ■ing of Thy Power" (Sullivan), in which Mr. Tribe took the solo, his tenor voice being very pleasing. Mr. Drew presided at the organ. The offertory amounted to £3 6a. At the conclusion of the recital an illuminated address, of which particulars are given elsewhere, was presented to Mr. and Mrs. Drtw by the choir, and the proceedings were brought to a close by a benediction from the Yen. Archdeacon Govett.

His Honor Mr. District Judge Rawson left by Monday afternoon's train on circuij duty, and is not expected to return until Friday.

Joseph Rous, a bumble parish priest, whbsebook entitled "Pensees" has created quite a furore in Paris (see the July number of Blaclcwood), says: — "Ancient art clothed the human body with chastity and majesty ; modern art unclothes even the nude. It is an unchaste, sometimes an impudent art. Athens poured a soul over the body, Paris spreads a body (Ronx might have said a foul body) over the ioul. The Greek statue blushed, the French statue calls forth blushes."
