LUTHER AND MUSIC.

Luther had often stood with others
of his youthful companions in tho
streets OF Mannsfeid and Madgeburg
in the bitter iros, and cold. singing
for the meager fare OF a piece of bread
and q cup OF warm drink. A story Is
told that Luther was one day singing
in the streets of Eisenach "Panem
propter Deum" in tones so appealing
that Frau Gotta frantically rushed
from her house. and. returning with

filled board. But the Currende was Of
more Importance to Luther as q train
ing school than as 4 means of bring
ing daily bread. All the boys were
carefully instructed IN homOphony and
polyphOny. This early tuition was
afterwards of inestimable comfort to
the young man. and more especially
during the years he entered into the
cloister. The young Augustine monk
often chased his melancholy away
when in the monastery at Erfurt by
playing on the lutte. 1t is related that
one day. after a self-inficted chastise-
ment, he was found in fainting con-
dition in his cell. and that his clois-
tered brethren recalled him to con-
seriousness by soft music, well knowing
that music was the balsam for all
wounds of the troubled mind of their
dear Martinus." As an instrumental
ist Luther excelled in the playing Of
the lutte and flute. and as a singer was
gifted with a clear and powerful voice.
which he retained almost to the end of
his life.-Cassell's History of Music"
