' ENJOYED BY MANY
BY NCLEE MAY DUNAWAY
The setting provided by Em
manuel Episc¢opal church, awe-in
spiring and appealing for the dign
ity, solemnity, and beauty of its
Form in Worship—afforded Saint
' Luke’s choir a perfect background
‘for the rendition of “Bethlehem,” a
!sacred cantata for the Christmas
' season, written by the famous Eng
lish composer—J. H. Maunder.
. Thirty-five members of this choiy
of fifty voices, braved the threaten
ing elements, and made the trip
from Atlanta, to perfor mhtis work
for the large assembly of Athen
lians, who were present for the oc
casion, |
. The cantata was in three parts:
‘1 “The Shepherd’s Gifts,” II “The
Kings’ Gigts,” and 111 “Our Gifts."l
Preceding each part, a synopsig was
read by Rev. David Cady Wright,l
rector of Emmanuel church.
The .choruses which concluded
each part were sung most inspir
fngly. As a choral group this
choir is unexcelled for precision
of attackg and releases, diction, and
shading. Particularly stirring was
the final chorus: “Come to the
Manger, All That Are Weary,” with |
its triumphant “Allelujah” notes at‘
the end.
Minna Hecker, coloratura sopr
ano, proved the artistic command
of her superbly beautiful voice, as
she interpreted the roleg of these
characters: “A Little Shepherdt
Boy' and "Mary.,” C. B Drum-I
mond, and Luther Bridges, tenors,|
and Coleman Kimbro and Arthur'
Stokes, bassos took the parts of an
old shepherd, Melchoir, Belthasar,
and Gaspar, respectively. |
Miss Irene Leftwich, pianist, as-|
sisted Hugh Hodgson, who presid-‘
ed at the organ console, giving col- |
orful tone to the music with herl
beautiful piano accompaniment.
At the conclusion of each part ofl
the cantata, the lovely old English!
custo mos the congregation joining|
with the choir in singing a hymn!
was observed. I
Mr. Hodgson again proved his
versatility and skill as a musiciant
in the role of organist and choir
master. i

THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
Weekly Sunday School Lesson
NEW LIFE IN CHRIST
BY WM. E. GILROY, D.D.
Editor of Advance
The story of the coming of Nico
demus to Jesus by night is one
of the most dramatic in the New
Testament, and in the entire rec
ords of reliigous experience. It is
suggestive and significant as well,
for details and implications in the
story are simple.
Why did Nicodemus c¢ome by
night? Various explanations have
been offered, and perhaps the one
least worthy of acceptance is that
which reflects upen the courage
and sincerity of this “Ruler of the
Jews.” That Nicodemug came by
night because he was fn any sense
too cowardly or fearful to come
bpenly by day, does not seem in
any way justified by the facts. If
Nicodemus had been that kind of
man, manifestly he would not
have come at all.
It ig probable that he fade his
visit ‘at night because he came as
an inquirer and, perhaps, wanted
to talk with Jesus when He was
alone.
| Everything in the circumstances
iWOuld lead us to commend Nicode
:mus for hig coming rather than to
|criticize him for his coming by
{night.
His acknowledge of his favorable
impressions of Jesus are greatly to
his credit. He was open-minded.
He saw certain things that im
pressed him with the quality of
Jesus as a religious teacher. These
things he could understand only
on the assumption that God was
with him.
'I At the same time, he was allied
|in an official way with the religi
| ous life of his time. He wag a
!devout and sincere believer in the
'teaching of the Jewish scriptures.
He wished to know what relation
' ship the teaching of this new and
“remarkahle man, Jesus of Nazareth
had to the religion that he already
ifollowed. ! I
Jesus evidently understood both,
the attitude of Nicodemus and the
qguestionings that were in his mind,
for Hig first words were very
challenging. They served at once
to draw Nicodemus into a discus
'sion of the most vital things.
[““Verily, verily, I say unto thee,”
lsaid Jesus. “Except one be born
tanew, he cannot see the Kingdom
iof God.”
| Nicodemus was puzzled, mors
| puzzled than would have been ex
pected of one who had his years of
experience, and who had the same
packground of knowledge of the
Dld Testament that Jesus Him
relf possessed. Nicodemus wunder
stood the words literally, but Jesus
made it plain that He was speak
ing of spiritual things.
| Jesus made it equally manifest
ithat He could not explain these
things, that there are spiritual
ONE LOT B

$ 1 -99
realities that one can no more ex
plain than he can explain the wind,
But the wind is a very definite
reality. One feels its sweep and
powen, and like the coming of the
wind, is this expertence of the new
life,
Nicodemus still was not sats
fied, and he asked, “How can these
things be?”
Then ' Jesus Himself expressed
His amazement that one who haa
been so long a teacher of Israel
should not have better and more
infinite understanding. He pro
ceeded to interprete this spiritual
truth of God's love and its power
to bring to men the new birth,
Apparently what Nicodemus haa
failed to discover was the reality
of the grace of God. He did not
see how salvation is a great bes
towal of GodSs grace upon the
man whose heart is open to receive
it.
A good man may be very aus
tere and self-righteous, but he may
not have learned to say “God be
merciful to me, a sinner.” The
man who learns to say that ig no
less moral and righteous, but he
has found the way to new life, love
and power. \
