care the Masses Generally Right"
was the question handled by George A.
Andrews. In answer to it he brought
out the following ideas: We the people
of the United States, are ruled las one
man, and the laws made are such as
will most benefit the country as a
whole. This in our countryahas been
proven wise system, as our nation
has grown from infancy to the highest
state of prosperity, by adhering to this
doctrine, and the wisdom of the found
ers of this nation is thus proven. We
are not troubled with instructions and
riots here as in the southern republics,
because here the laws are not made by
one person, and dictatorism is I'M
known. Our system would mean dis
aster to some countries, and it is doubt
full if many European nations could
prosper under our laws. Here, the
laws are just, and for this reason. The
people make them, and know that they
must be obeyed. Hence they are slow in
passing any measure unless they are
sure that it is just and fair for all. By
the results of past work, and the pros
perity of past generations, we have a
right to say that "the masses are gen.
orally right"
''The world is full of music, for song
is the language of nature, and sign of
happiness" So began the essay by
Miss Katie M. Carpenter on ''The Min
istry of Song.n When man was driven
from the garden of Eden, song came
with him, making it her vocation to
teach him the higher enjoyments of
life. Certain it is that music creates
much happiness. 1t gives courage to
the faint hearted, and drives away dull
care. Some music would be soon for
gotten was it not for the words which
accompany it. Especially is this true
of "Old Hundred and kindred hymns.
Can you think of any civilized place
where this hymn has not been heard?
Many soul has been saved by music.
He for whom music hath no charms,
who cannot sympathize with the gen.
tier feelings of the heart, must be dull
indeed. Song awakens within us MEM
or;ac tbot boxya baop forrottoo for
years, and will bring back familiar faces
of those who have long been sleeping.
You to whom the secrets of sweet
sounds are known have a mission. You
can sing to the weary, to the sick, to
them that cannot sing themselves.
You can gladden. the hearts of many.
So let your song be like the small ray of
sunshine, finding it's way through
closed doors and shutters to the invalid
within.
