DR.. Whitsitt said that classic music is
not emotional-that those in trouble turn
for religious consolation to the old-fash-
Toned songs and not to classic music.
This remark is only partially true. To
those who have been educated to appre-
ciate classic music it affords more con-
ISOLATION than the we'll known songs. In
fact, those classically educated find that
the old tunes crate harshly on their sem
sibilities. 1t is not correct to say that
classic music Is not rellglous, Tor some or
the grandest religious music is classic,
such as Handel's Messiah"

A Birmingham bride persuaded her
husband to go to church with her last
Sunday. although he had not been to
church in six months. The wind sudden
ly shifted to the north, the church was
icy as a vault, and the young husband
caught severe cold Perhaps the sud-
den change in his habit of staying at
home on Sunday aggravated the cold. He
declared to his wife that he was not GO
ing to church any more. But he re-
pented when he read glowing descrip-
ton of his bride, of whom he is very
proud, who had been seen at church by a
reporter.

Editor State Herald Why do you e1e-
vate the Cadmean Circle above all the
other ladies' clubs? / know of at least
two other clubs that deserve to rank in
point of intellectually and aristocracy
equal with, If not above the Cadmean.
You say the Cadmean is the only club
that admits men to it's meetings. agree
that this is a good feature of the Cad
mean--it shows a breadth of thought and
hi 10Th Of n ha
lated by the other clubs. I am heartily
in favor of the men being admitted to
the club of which I am member The
men give a spice and variety that moth
ing else will, and their presence will ele-
vate the discussions.
