There are passages of longing and hope followed by charming dance music, which suddenly ends in pathos as the wanderer is reminded of his homelessness. 1 he music at the approaching of his death grows quiet and peaceful, ending in a triumphant peal. The composer conducted and the chorus sang with fine spirit. The solo parts ao*y rendered by Louise C. Barrows, soprano; Mrs. William C. Burke, contralto; Roy F.
