Prof Peterson. who has just assumed
the Ormond Chair of Music at Melbourne
University. tells good story with ref
erence to his appointment. The retire
ment of Prof. Marshall Hall and the
election OF his successor caused much
controversy In Melbourne. and Prof
Peterson received many cablegrams from
Victoria, some warning him against taxi
ing up the appointment, and others urg
ing him 70 do so. He was very uncertain
OF the course he should adopt until he
received a message reading simply: III.
Kings, vi. i6" He looked up the text
In his Bible. and found that II read:
Fear not; for they that be with us are
more than they that be with them"
That decided him.-Scottish American.
