It gives a soul to the Universe, wings to the wind, flight to the imagination, a chorm to sadness, gayety and life to everything. * It is the essence of order and leads to all that is good, just and beautiful; of which it is the invisible, but, nevertheless, dazxling. passionate and eternal form. Ever since the 'evening and the morning stars sang together," music has had its place in the plan of crea- tion. If we try to define it, we lose ourselves in the answers that rush to the mind. If we confine ourselves to the mere technical definitions, we lose all the beauty and grandeur. The singing of the birds,the sighing of the trees, the ripple of the streams, the murmur of the wind through the cavernous rocks--it is the voice of is the voice of God. . Every country has its distinctive music indicating the character of the people. The composers of Norway, Sweden, Russia, and Poland, have given us. music that is strange and wierd, expressing their oppressions and their endless struggle for liberty. classic and scholarly, breathes of his | Mysterious and strange is the music of the Eastern countries, while our own Indian music, incomprehensible to us, is typical of their daily life. It1s a question in the minds of some whether there is really bad mu- sic. - Low, unchaste words wedded to good music often designate the whole as bad. The same power 1s at work in the mind of the composer of the grandest symphony as in the mind of the author of the simplest waltz | Music is not good when, the rules of: harmony have been violated. Music is powerful, universal, divine. A dashing, brilliant waltz of Strauss has done more to lift some soul from " the Slough of Despond " than many sermons. The soldier is inspired by the majestic roll of the battle hymn. The humblest toiler is lifted and cheered by its influence. It strength- ens, stays, upholds the soul in sorrow. It inspires to high and noble living, it sweetens the cup of bitterness, lightens the burdens of life, endears friendship, calls back the erring to the path of right, and often restores the sick to béalth and (strength. These 'lines from Kingsley describe it perfectly:-- #% There Is something very wonder: ful in music. - Nords are wonderful; music is more wonderful. © It speaks not to our thoughts as words do : it speaks 'straight to "our hearts and spirits; to the very core and root of our souls. = Mnsic soothes us, stirs us, melts us to tears; we know anguage in. itself | as divine and just as blessed. is the speech of angels." . - DIED At Bla ; on Thy iota, Sidney James. % 'Natdre: we can go farther and' say it} love for the Fatherland, while the ap bright, sparkling music of France and He is the cleverist entertainer sax Italy reveals their free and joyous life.
