ton Ceremonies September 3,
Thereby Ending Controversy.

The Pope Avenue Mission on Penrose

At the July meeting OF the Presbytery of
St. Louis a committee was appointed to pro-
coed with the organization II 1t was found
, advisable.
| Considerable opposition was encountered
! from the pastor of the Lee Avenue Presby-
terrain Church, the Reverend Henry Gardner.
and several members of his church's ses-

would invade their territory and handicap
| the efforts of each organization.
A meeting of the committee. with the pas
tor and the session followed a meeting with
the members of the mission. AT the August
| meeting of the Presbytery the report was
q perfunctory one. merely saying that prog
ress had been made. Al that time 1t was
! understood that nothing definite would be
done until after the fall meeting of the
Presbytery in Kirkwood, the middle of next
month.
Immediate action has been decided upon,
however, and the decision of the committee
it is thought, will end the rather spirited dis
cussion which has taken place.
The Pope Avenue Mission will be organ
lied into a church with forty members. The
mission was organized three years ago, and
from the first has had remarkable success.
Its superintendent has been w. H. Her

compositions have enjoyed little popu-
lar favor in America, though their
excellence has been acknowledged and
parsifal will be an experiment here.
rhe belief is held by Wagner's admir-
ers that his music will obtain n fair
hearing henceforth from American
critics and that tho outcome will be
its moro cordial reception Wagner
triumph came in 1876. He had all
along been aiming at reform In music.
He believed tho whole school of con-
ception and expression to be wrong. In
the Niebelungen Ring his theories first
found expression. and tho opera was
given by Bayreuth for the first time In
1876. He declared that tho Erellch and
Italian schools OF opera were wrong.
He cOntendcd that the thcme should
be poetic In the deepest. pnrest sense;
fitting music, and that the whole
should be associated with the sympa-
thies and convictions of humanity.
Hence he took his themes from no
nance, legend and popular myths.
Wagner was coplouS writer. He
collected works along various lines,
and they abound in vigorous, insen-
ous, original ideas. He wrote many
overtures. songs, marches. poems, etc.
But 1t was years before his style met
with acceptance outside Of Germany.
In America he was ridiculed by many,
but eventually he had admirers num-
erous and influential. He wrote the
grand march for the American centen-
NAL In 1915. His pieces will never
become populrI except In fragments,
because Of the skill required In their
execution on the piano.

There are two ways Of looking at ad-
vertlsing, both Of them right. Adver-
Using should be done during the dull
time for the purpose Of stirring up
trade at that time and also for the
sake Of tho benefit which will come
from being continually before tho pub
lie eye.
A man should just as quickly think
Of stopping his advertisements In the
summer or in the dull time after the
holidays az he should think Of closing
up his store several months In tho year
and keeping it open only when trade
would keep him busy.
1t does not take people very long to
forget things. and II store were
closed up four months or the advertls-
Ing stopped four months a great many
people would have forgotten that the
view of advertising il that It ought to
DO pushed during the busy timo, when
the people are ready to buy.
Advertising cannot be expected to
sell goods when people don't want
thom, and it will BIZ naturally most
effective when 1t gives publicity to
some desirable article at just the right
time. TO be sure, advertising will sell
anything at any time II tho price be
made low enough and tho advertise
ment sufficiently attractive. Some limos
OF goods can be forced, and some can
not, but even those which cannot be
forced should not be allowed to drop
ont Of sight
Keep up your advertising during the
summer, and you will not only profit
by it In the fall. but your summer
sales will also show a fine increase
