Felix Mendelssohn, to which was added his mother's name, Bartholdy, was born of Jewish parents at Ham burg, Germany, In 1809. and at an early age displayed musical talent which was fostered by his art-loving parents, gome of his most important works were written when ha was If years of age. . ' Mendelssohn was a great conductor as well as a music writer, but his Songs Without Words" and tha fa mous "Spring Song" made his name almost a household word. He founded the Conservatory at Lelpslc, and the people have since erected before this temple of music his likeness In bronse as a memorial. But in his Imperish able oratorios. Mendelssohn gave to the world his best inspirations. Num bers will be given from his oratorios 'St. Paul." "Elijah," "Athalia" and "Hymn of Praise." at this musical service. Through all . his works is felt the pulse of his deep religious convictions which never halt nor doubt. ' Mendelssohn died in 1147. In his 89th year. His death was looked up on as a national loss in England, as well as in his own country, where he had won an Important place. But his gentle spirit lives In the music be left behind.
