Unique and Interesting Publication.
(WinSton JOurnal,)

To deny that music is most ire
mendous and important factor in life
is to acknowledge ones self a fool
From the cradle to the grave mankind
travels to music-at first in the soft
grooming of a mothers lullaby, and
at last sinking to sleep with a hymn.
This, by way of Introduction to a
very interesting and novel publica ton
which we have received. 1t is the
work of the gifted Miss Adelaide
Fries, of Salem, whose incursions into
the literary field have been earnest and
valuable. The title of this publication
is Funeral Chorals of the Unitas
Fratrum, or Moravian Church." and
it contains % pages devoted to the
chorals which have been in use for
more than hundred and fifty years,
together with a sketch of the history
of the trombone custom and a clear
statement of its meaning.
Not only our community will find
both pleasure and profit in the au-
thor's work, for assuredly it will also
meet with favor from all those who
have had their interest awakened in
the beautiful customs of the Mora
vians. The little book may be had
at local book stores.
