 wish to thank "Berion," and l doubi l not every lover of good music desires to dc | the same, for his able article in Wednesday morning's paper, written in defense of the l best class of sacred music. There are many | good men, who are gifted in other direc- | tions, who have little or DO Knowledge O | music and absolutely DO desire for it. Stil there are maqy of us to whom the oes | music is a delight and necessity, and t | is our good fortune to have on our side the testimony of the centuries. The best masters have done as much | towards Christianizing the world as any l other agency, after the Bible and the grea | preachers of the word. And the effect o
 their genius and their religious zeal will | continue for good as long as there are eari | and hearts and souls.
 l Miss Margaret Little Snyder, after l pleasant sojourn in Pennsylvania, has re. | turned home to the pleasure of her many l friends.
