He said In part:
 Never Heard Sweeter Music.
 'T never heard sweeter or softer music from a male choir. I have heard other music in this country which has given me great delight and it has brought me to the conclusion that music is born in the human heart without regard to race | or color. You should cultivate music not only as boon to yourselves, but for the benefit of others"
