Mozart composed his own requiem, and
said To his daughter Emily, PLAY that" and
while Emily was playing the requiem, Moz-
arts soul went up on the wave OF his own
music into glory. Emily looked around and

This new song of heaven was not composed
because heaven has nothing else to do, but
Christ in memory OF cross and crown, of
mangcr and throne Of earth and heaven,
and wrought upon by the rapturcs of the
great eternity, poured this from His heart,
