At the Sunday afternoon meeting of the Ross Men's Own Brotherhood , Mr. A. E. Mogg , the president , occupied the chair , and there was a good company of men present . The address on this occasion was given by Mr. A. E. Rudge , C.C. , of Baysham . cess ; Ross Musical Society Concert . The Ross Musical Society , of which Dr. Sinclair , of Hereford Cathedral , is the con- ductor , gave its annual concert in the Corn Exchange on Tuesday afternoon , and it at- tracted quite a large and very appreciative audience , although the company was not quite so large as at some of the previous con- certs . For this occasion , the society selected " Loreley , " an unfinished opera , composed by Mendelssohn , and three short ballads listener's point of view it was quite a pleas- ant and pleasing change from the ideas adopted in past years , and both Dr. Sinclair and the society are to be congratulated on the delightful performances they gave . Mr. Rudge based his remarks chiefly on Josh . 1 , verse 8 , especially the latter part , on how to be prosperous and have good suc - written by Coleridge Taylor , and from a Looking at the question from a national standpoint , he said they found that the British nation has prospered most when the word of God had been freely circulated and read . Especially had this been the case in three reigns of monarchs of this country : When King Alfred the Great was reigning . he helped to translate the Scriptures and circulate them in the land , and then the country was raised out of barbarism and ignorance to civilization ; when Queen Eliza- beth commenced her reign , one of her first acts was to encourage the circulation of the Scriptures which were " diligently read and publicly acknowledged , " and it was surely not mere chance that at that time England hecame a great world power . In her reign The concert opened with a beautiful and masterly rendering of the " Coronation March " ( Meverbeer ) , by the orchestra , un- der Dr. Sinclair , for which they were most heartily applauded . This was followed by the song , " Songs my mother taught me , " sweetly and very sympathetically sung by Madame Siviter , her effort being accorded an enthusiastic encore . Mr. Johan C. Hock , the solo violoncelloist , then treated those present with a truly magnificently played cello solo . Elégie " ( Faure ) , which won the most cordial plaudits of the audience . The Society , which comprised nearly fifty voices , contributed that attractive and fascinating choral ballad , " Beside the ungathered Rice istic compositions , in a praiseworthy manner . The duet ( for two pianofortes ) , " Andante and Variations in B Flat " ( Schumann ) , was skilfully handled by Mr. L. Llewellyn and Mr. F. J. Parsons , both of whom played in a clear and precise manner , with the result that they secured a well deserved encore , for which they gave " Fugue in G " Op . 9 ( Vögt ) . For her second appearance , Madame Siviter sang " Habanera " ( Carman ) , by Byet , she the great Armada was sent by Philip from Spain , with its 132 large ships . 20,000 soldiers , and 2.630 cannon . to bring the country hack to the fold of Roman Catholic ism and into bondage to the Pone : notwith - he lay , " one of Coleridge Taylor's character- standing the inferiority of the British Navv . numbering only 36 sailing vessels ( although other shins were lent by the merchants and nobles of the land ) , every schoolboy knew how the Armada was beaten , and it was a matter of history how the great storm that arose did more to complete the victory than all the gallant efforts of our own country When they read of the British Navy to - day costing £ 51.000.000 for one year , they might be led to think that because of Dread - heing equally as effective as in her first song . noughts and other means of defence their position must be secure , yet let them learn from history how vain is the arm of flesh if leaning on that alone . The same applied to the reign of Victoria the good , who , when asked by a foreign Prince the secret of Eng- land's greatness , replied by handing him a Bible . In no reigs were the Scriptures so freely circulated or so widely read , and in no reign has there been such unparalleded pros- perity or increase of power . On the con- men . trary . in those countries where the Bible was largely excluded . the reverse was the case for instance , in Spain about two - thirds of the population could neither read nor write , and the same was true of the priest- Fidden country of Portugal . But where the Bible was read , there was intelligence , pros- nerity , and power . Although the men of Ross had not the power to influence the nation vet , each had a nower in the circle in which he moved . so let them use their efforts , first to get an intelligent knowledge of the word of God for themselves , and then to induce others to do the same , and the prosperity and snecess mentioned in the por- tion read would be theirs . Mr. Rudge con- cluded with the remark that they should " Read the Bible to be wise , believe it to be safe , and practise it to be holy . " Part one concluded with a further orchestra selection . " Andante for a Sonata " ( Schu- mann ) , which was also well received . After a short interval , part two was pro- ceeded with , and this included items by the orchestra . a song by Madame Siviter , the choral Ballad by the Society , a ' cello solo by Mr. John C. Hock , for which he was encored , and played as a response a piece from Bach , unaccompanied and " Loreley , " the un- finished onera , by Mendelssohn . The soloist was Madame Siviter , who pos- sesses a charming voice , and though the Corn Exchange , speaking acoustically , is not one of the best halls to hear the beauty of THE ROSS GAZETTE = THURSDAY , APRIL 16 , 1914 , ENJOY THE FINE WEATHER . ht A nice Cycle Ride is lovely at this time of year .

At the meeting of the County Council on Saturday last , the following discussion en- sued on the questions of the resignations of the Ledbury teachers and the re - instatement of Miss Crabtree to , the Ross Girls ' School being raised . Dealing with Alderman Corner's questions as to the notices handed in at Ledbury by five class teachers , Colonel DECIE said the National Union of Teachers had done their hest , to persuade the assistant teachers at Ledbury to remain in their places . He had himself seen the correspondence , and , there- fore , knew that the N.U.T. had done their very hest in the matter . However , there anneared to be some friction between the assistant teachers and the new head teacher . and he thought the assistant teachers had become a little excited . They had given a month's notice to terminate their engage- ments , their reason being that they could not get on with the new head teacher . He was aware that their notices were drawn up in the form of the N.U.T. notices , but he could assure them that the N.U.T. desired them to remain . Mr. Beswick said the band that finished fifth was the Cinderford Town Prize Band ( ap- plause ) .
