no fixed formula is 10 govern singing.
IL Is not the ordinary conception that
music is for the purpose OF breaking the

no passage in the scripture which con-

effective and irresistible.

discoursing wonderful music, and has 1
made a decided hit The art gallery is a |
revelation. The mineral. horticultural |
