The Stars and Stripes streamed above the camp; bands played; choirs sang; there were speeches, and picnics, and prayers. Experiences were compared as to the journeyings on the plains; stories were told of the shifts to which the people had been put by the vicissitudes of famine; but these dread experiences seemed to them now like a dream of the night; on this day all were happy.
It was the son who sang the "Death of Nelson" under such contrarious circumstances. He was by trade a shearer of ship plates; but he could touch the organ, and led two choirs, and played the flute and piccolo in a professional string band. His repertory of songs was, besides, inexhaustible, and ranged impartially from the very best to the very worst within his reach.
The Decorated piers are altogether of stone, and not ringed at all. The arrangement of the shafts is not quite so bold and various as in some other Early English work the choirs of Ely and Worcester, for example. The capitals are finely carved, though small. Those in the north transept are rather richer than those in the south.
But this picture is hallowed by strains which are poured forth from angelic choirs, as they tune their harps anew "over one sinner that repenteth." The likeness of Cowper's mother led him to mourn for past delights, but this picture led the son to look in humble joy to that blessed hope and glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ. Original.
"Lord, have mercy on her," cried Paul, the eldest boy. "Christ, have mercy on her," answered the younger children. "Holy Mary." R. "Pray for her." "All ye holy angels and archangels." R. "Pray for her." "All ye choirs of the just." R. "Pray for her." "All ye saints of God." R. "Make intercession for her." "From thy anger, from an unhappy death, from the pains of hell." R. "Deliver her, O Lord."
The building is a confused labyrinth of chapels, choirs, shrines, staircases, and vaults without any definite plan or any architectural beauty, though very rich in parts and full of picturesque effects.
Now a golden ray of hope Illumes my soul a sweet presentment Pervades my heart and heaven itself inclines, With choirs of joyous angels, to the earth, And full of soft emotion, the thrice blest Looks down upon this great, this glorious scene! Pardon, my father! KING. Rise, and leave me. CARLOS. Father! This trifling grows too bold. CARLOS. A son's devotion Too bold! Alas!
He is the founder and conductor of the Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia, an unusually effective organization; one of the founders of the local Manuscript Club; the conductor of a choral society of two hundred voices, at Harrisburg, and the director of two church choirs. G.W. Chadwick.
On feast- days, and during daily worship, the chant of priestly choirs might be heard, or the murmur of prayer; and the eye might watch the stolists who crowned the statues with flowers and ribbons, as required by the ritual, or the processions of priests in their various rank.
