ST. JOSEPH’S GLEE CLUB, DUNEDIN

In the presence of a large audience, the members of St. Joseph’s Glee Club gave their initial concert in St. Joseph’s Hall on Tuesday evening, February 25. This young musical organisation, composed of members of St. Joseph’s Men’s Club and lady friends, well deserved the success that attended their individual and collective efforts. Hearty congratulations are, too, due to Mr. T. J. Anthony (hon. conductor), who has so generously exercised his time and talent in the interests of the club, and the high standard of efficiency attained by the members must have been very gratifying to him. The arrangements for the club’s first concert were completed several months ago, but owing to the precautions deemed necessary to combat the influenza epidemic, had to be postponed to the date above-mentioned. An excellent programme was presented, and the entertainment was most enjoyable throughout. The part songs consisted of “Autumn” (Booth), the bracketed number “The Rosary” (Nevin) and “April” (Salaman), and “Good Night” (Steele), each being effectively rendered, the voices being nicely balanced. Songs were given by Misses Rene Bradshaw, Evelyn Tail, Kitty Leonard, Gwen Wilson, Jenny McDermott, and Kathleen Burk ; Messrs. D. Fogarty, M. Goughian. W. Kennedy, and R. A. Power. Several of these soloists made their first appearance on the concert platform, and acquitted themselves very creditably, while each received the compliment of a recall. Mr. R. A. Power contributed several violin solos. admirably. A vocal duet was given by Messrs. D. Fogarty and Power, and a vocal trio by Messrs. D. and F. Fogarty and V. Sheehy. Miss Laura Hawke. A.T.C.L., played the whole of the accompaniments in her usual admirable style, and Mr. T. J. Anthony was musical director. Mr. M. Goughian carried out the duties of secretary most efficiently. The concert was closed with the singing of “God Save Ireland” and the National Anthem.

Men are deceitful, but God is good. He is the Truth Itself: live for Him and with Him! — M. of the Sacred Heart. “Seek above all things the kingdom of God and His justice.” The spirit of the world seeks to encroach on all sides, hence devolves on us an obligation much greater and stronger to attach ourselves to the spirit of God, to the supernatural spirit of faith, a true religious spirit. —Mother M. of the Sacred Heart.
