Some OF these days when music grows to appreciation

by money making communities, we shall doubtless nave
concert hall good In its way as church. There IS no
reason why 1t should not In time las tho Old World
well knows borrow the ehaste beauty OF art which now

ers are in danger of being distracted BY tho comfort
of proper architecture any more than BY
hearing q hymn well sung. Concert halls
ought to DO something moro than their name
IMPLIES lust as churches should DO than meeting
houses; and shall greet the day when an adventure
Gus sentiment taking shape in tho mlnd OF number OF

is generally the one grand object seehleai'y oos y,

in some of our ban-bu churches seems preposeIouS'
