. The Gorman musical composer,
George Frederick Handel (1685-1759)
Is renowned chiefly for "The Messiah,"
the most popular of oratorios. While
in England ho wrote this oratorio, but
it was first given in Dublin in April,
1742 for the aid of charity. The words
were arranged by his friend Charles
Jennens.
At tho first London performance,
March 23, 1743, in Covent Garden,
hen tho "Halleluiah Chorus" was
reached, tho king and." whole audience
arose, and-thus established a custom
which continues to this day. T;ho
MesBlah" was performed thirty-four
times during the composer's life, but
noyer mpon a scale commensurate
with- its merits, until tho Handel com
memoration at Westminster Abbey in
1784, when tho largest choir and band
asseinbled, with Madame Mara at tho
head of the soloists. The orchestra
then numbered 242, the chorus 267.
The oratorio is divided into three
sports, , The first illustrates the longing
of the- world for the Messiah, prophe
sies His coming and announces His
birth; the secohdart is devoted to
the sufferings, death and. exaltation of
Christ and develops the spread and
"triumph of the Gospel; while the third
is occupied with the declaration of the
highest truths of doctrine faith in the
existence of God, flie surety of im
- mor.tallife, the resurrection- and the
.attainment of -aneternlty of happiness.

Chancollor E. B. Andrews spok
vory entertaining way at. Convocation
yostordny morning on TIiq Prosh
dent's Messago." Tho nTossago Is jiot
as good, tho Chhncollof Bald, as othofl
wo havo had. ItaBtyle is not equal
o Jofforson's, MadlBon'a nor to Ar
thur's message which Is considered
tho beBt. Yet tho Prosldont shows a
remarkable interest In our national
tooF
pi many topics and oaph -toplo was
given a little attention, our relations
wltli. other nations merely mentioned
as friondlyj until ovory country was
touched upoh,-evon "out to tliojlxed
stars."
Among tho many Interesting topics
President Roosevelt dlBcusses ishat
of race sulqldo. Upon this subject "the
President has changed his tone, and
vory fortunately, too, for ho now em
phasizes the Importance of quality of
the iwinilatlon rather than quantity.
He mentioned the difficulty in San
Francisco as tdVhelhor Japanese stu
dents should bo in Ihoamo schools
with white American chiTdron. -The
Chancellor himself Bympathlzeswltfi:
both slues ,
The ;nost important subjocUrnen
tioned was tho Monroe Doctrlno, i
the upholding of whlclrtho Prosldont
standsat the head becauselie appre-r
elates tho-moral obligation of it
thought was ,glven to it before; but
presidents simply recited it or assorted-that
it existed, now and then mak
ing an effort to maintain It by force.
Mr. Root, in. his speech, which is
part' of the President's message, says
that we havo territory enough and
sovereignty should bo only over our-
selves.
In nearly all the republics of Cen
tral and South America except Mexico
Argentine Republic and Chili,- much
progress has been made. Ho told of
the frequent revolutions in Nicaragua
and of the one constitution -which had
become dear to the hearts of the peo
ple, for it had lasted fully fifteen years.
The general, ' policy of President :
Roosevelt on tho ship subsidy was dis
cussed,. This question is more impor-
tant than the tariff, whloh cannot bo ,
revised for a number of. years. He
spoke briefly pf the President's at-, ,
titude on the collection of interna-"
tional debts b"y force. -

will compel all who desire to hear the
oratorio to be on Jhand at an early
hour.
