How to Listen to Music.

People often get intensely excited
in listening to music-letting their
emotions run rampant and suffering
in consequence a painful reaction of
fatigue. If they would learn to yield
so that the music could pass over
their nerves as it passes over the
Strings of a musical instrument, and
then, with the new life and vigor
derived from the enjoyment, would
turn to some useful work, they would
find a great expansion in the enjoy
meat of the music as we'll as a new
pleasure in their work. If we enjoy
good music and gloat over our per-
sonal pleasure in it, so to speak, it
takes the life out of us. If we let
the music carry us along instead
of trying; in our excitement, to carry
the music, it brings new life to US.
