| \ 4s ow A WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1925 PARISH HONORS DIOCESE HEAD Christ Church Tenders Re- ception to Bishop Ander- ~ son Next Tuesday Night HIS SILVER JUBILEE Church Leaders and Prelate to Speak The members and friends of Christ church are looking forward to a historic event in their parish life when they will gather at a reception on Tuesday eve- ning, February 10, at the Parish House to meet Bishop and Mrs. Charles Palm- erston Anderson. The occasion is to celebrate the completion of Bishop Anderson's quarter of a century as Bishop of the Diocese of Chicago. "He is a man that any church and community would delight to honor," stat- ed a member of the parish to a Win- - NETKA TALK representative this week. "He is an outstanding figure in the city of Chicago and in the Christian church. Contact with such a leader through spiritual ministration and personal serv- ice has been the inestimable privilege of Christ church for 25 years, during which time it has grown from an organized mission with 90 communicants, with a total budget for parochial and general church funds of $1,249.90 to, a parish of 577 communicants and 1,246 baptized members, spending over $19,000 for parochial expenses and approximately ~ $166,000 for the general church (accord- ing to report at the Diocesan Convention 1924)." Record of Achievement "One of the especial benefits and re- sponsibilities of the Episcopal church is the very particular opportunity for serv- ice open to all the parish through dio- cesan organization," continued the TALK informant. "T'o no parish perhaps is this as vital as to that in the well-to-do sub- urb, which is to a considerable degree sheltered from the ugliness and misery that is such a large, and it almost seems inevitable, part of modern civilization. The diocese of Chicago, thanks to Bishop Anderson's energy and vision, has a long and ever-growing list of in- stitutions ministering indefatigably to the needs of that great city wherever the need is most dire. The church cares for the homeless aged, for the orphan and fatherless; it has free schools and homes, day nurseries, a social settlement, regu- lar visitors at the jails, house of correc- tion, and a refuge always hospitably open to the 'down and outs'. For holding our church fast in the faith and practice of Christian service, perhaps more than for any other one reason, the congregation of Christ church honors its beloved leader. Bishop to Speak "Every member and friend of the par- ish is invited and urged to come to the reception at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening. 'There will be short addresses by Mr. William B. McIlvaine and Mr. Godfrey H. Atkin on the bishop's 25 years of 'service, after which Bishop Anderson has promised to speak. Ten Skokie Pupils Start Work at New Trier High . Ten eighth graders 'at the Skokie school have taken advantage of the be- ginning of a new class this month at 'New Trier high school. Those who passed on into the high school were Dorothy Dahl, Robert Fisher, Ruth Flinn, Madeline Kahn, John Milton, Al- an Ingram, Theodore Schultz, Edward Selhberg, Arthur Swanson, and Mildred ' Soukup. Isabel Milton, who graduated in June, and who has spent the last six months in a post graduate course at Skokie, also completes her work at this time. Isabel has been president of the student body and her departure will miean that Ruth Shepherd, vice president during the fall of the year, will become president from now until June. - The departure of John Milton also leaves a vacancy in the corps of cheer leaders; which will probably be filled by an election during the coming week. As it is customary to award diplomas only once a year in the Winnetka schools, the February graduates will return to participate in the graduation ritual in June. Mrs. Matt Gille of Union Mills, Ind. arrived this week to spend a few days with Mr. and Mrs. George F.

FIFTH CONCERT GALA OCCASION Terms It Best of Present Series Critic By MUSIC CRITIC It was a gala occasion. No concert given by the Symphony Players of Chi- cago in New Trier assembly hall ever combined such a galaxy of star features as the fifth one in the 1924-25 series, presented on Wednesday evening, Febru- ary 4. Every seat was occupied, not a single vacancy at 8:15. The soloist of the evening, Rudolph Reuter, elicited enthusiastic applause by his masterly piano playing. The program contained portions of two of the world's greatest compositions. Brahm's Second Sym- phony and Wagner's Prelude to the Mastersingers of Nurnberg. The first number was the prelude to the opera, "The Improvisator," by Eugene D'Albert. It was played brilliantly by the orchestra, the gay and spirited pre- lude forming a delightful opening to the evening's performance. Following this came two movements from Brahms' Second Symphony, an Adagio and an Allegretto. Great music it was, rich in melody and harmony, expressing many moods, cheerfulness, gayety, humor, vi- vacity. Mr. Dasch and his men presented it with full appreciation of its surpassing values. Next appeared the assisting artist of the evening, the well-known pianist. Rudolph Reuter. He played Schumann's only concerto for piano and orchestra. His technique was crisp and clear. His interpretive power was discriminating and convincing. Being vigorously encored he gave the audience a nocturne by Chopin. Few artists are such complete masters of the resources of the piano as Mr. Reuter. After the intermission came a charac- teristically Swedish composition, Hugo Alfven's "Midsummer Wake." The au- dience took this in with evident pleas- ure. George Schumann's "Dance of Nymphs and Satyrs" was also enjoy- able. The closing number was Wagner's Prelude to the '"Mastersingers;" it showed clearly Wagner's "wealth of imagination and marvelous contrapunt- al facility." gram was the playing of Mendelssohn's E, Minor Concerto for violin and orches- tra. The violinist, George Swigart, well known in Wilmette and New Trier high school, acquitted himself with great credit, playing fluently and with appro- priate feeling. He has a most promis- The main feature of the afternoon pro- | ing future. NOW THAT MONEY GOES SO MUCH FASTER ITS COMMONSENSE TO TRY TO MAKE IT GO FARTHER!
