What Is an anthem? Strictly speak
ing. II is q composition In prose or verse
sung antiphonally-that Is. by two
voices or choirs respectively The
word comes from the Greek, antiphona
(anti, over against. ard phone. voice..
The root of the Greek is SWaskrit. and
means simply to speak. The antiphon-
al form OF Jhe anthem Is both Greek
and Christian, and Is to be fon.d today
in the ritual of every church which
makes music part of Its worship. This
meaning OF the word. II is agreed by the
highest authorities. has disappeared.
Its second significance Is musical
composition or sacred motet usually set
to verses Of the psalms or other por-
tions of the scriptures and sung as an
integral part of puSlic worship In
neither the first nor the second sense

tional anthem. 1T has. however. now
been 50 generally adopted that 1t
would be pedantic not to use It,"
The validity Of national anthem
need not be sought behind the word.
1t makes little difference how novel
meanings come into universal speech.
Once they are universal the door Is
closed on mere verbal archaeology. A
national anthem is that combination of
melody and words which is identified
with a nation in an exclusive sense. In
this sense "The Star-Spangled Banner"
is the American national anthem. In
the same sense the 'fMarseiflaise" is Of
France, and God Save the Queen"
that of England. 1t is true that
America" the words of which were
written by am American, Samuel Fran
els Smith, is to the tune of God Save
tine Queen" That anthem Is not, how
ever, strictly speaking, national, be-
cause the government of the United
States has officially recognized 1.-THE
Star-Spangled Banner" and also Hail
Columbia" which was originally Gen
eral Was'hington's march, the music
being by a German named Phyla, or
Fayles, leader OF the orchestra for the
old John street theater in New York.
The melody was first played. so far as
Is known, on the occasion OF Washing
toms first visit to that playhouse.
DO Not Need a New One.
Theirs appears to be no good reason to
doubt that the germ of all national
songs is to be found far back among
folk melodies anterior to the time when
nationalities in the present sense ex-
listed. The air OF America" and of
God Save the King" or Queen, is not
English. Its first adaptation to words
Is obscure. The air itself was known
as folk song among various peoples.
1t is the Danish national air, 1t rs the
Prussian national air and it is the Ger

The minister OF congregation In an ag-
ricultural district was greatly annoyed
Sunday after Sunday by the unruly con-
duct Of the junior members OF his flock.
When any one of the younger representa-
tives Of the gentler sex got weary OF the
evening service she would invariably rise
and 70 out. A moment later her admirer
would seize his hat and sheep.shly follow
her. To such an extent would this course
OF action prevail that by the time the dis
course was finished only the old people
remained for the conclusion Of the SER
vice. Mr. Jones concealed his ohagrin for
several weeks. but at last he firmly re-
solved to act. A youth grew drowsy one
