Ian Maclaren in Ladies' Home journal.
but there are other difficulties, and they
may 6e mentioned in q spirit of becoming
humility: For one thing, the organist is
an artist and every artist has nature
OF special refinement which cannot bear
the rough and tumble ordinary methods
OF life: With man of common clay you
deal in practical, straightforward and
even brutal fashion, arguing with him,
complaining to him, and putting him
right when he is wrong. But no man
must handle precious porcelain in such
fashion, or the artist will be instantly
wounded and will resign and carry his
pathetic story to every quarter, for, as
rule, the organist thinks that he is lifted
above criticism and public opinion. 1t is
impossible to teach him anything; it is
an. insult to suppose that anything could
be better than the music he provides"
