First performed at the Birming- ham (England) Festival, August 26, 1846, "Elijah" has taken a place in the literature of the oratorio next to the greatest works of Handel and Bach. Several years were devoted to the composition of this work which, expressing the growing feeling for dramatism, was written by a man who neither cared nor sought success in the opera. The performance will be open to the public free of charge, and a small silver offering will be taken. 50 Students Enter Speech Contest Today (Continued from Page 1) and superior ability in expressing their ideas will be selected to repre- sent this district at the regional meet.
