portance of lofty ideals. This epistle was
written from Ephesus, \. D. 81. About
five years previous to the writing of this
epistle Paul had founded the Corinthian
Church. Our studies have shown us that
Corinth was a city of shameless corrup-
ton Centuries of degraded thought and
practice lead to degraded ideals. From
these ii is difficult to escape. PauFs doc
trine OF freedom from the Mosaic ritual
was tortured by them into freedom from
all moral restraint. They joined freely
in heather sacrificial feasts. They de-
graded the holy communion into festive
banquet. Their disputes were settled be-
fore heather tribunals. and even heather
morality was scandalZed by their in
cestuous intercourse. Such was their
condition and yet Paul held up before
them the lofty ideal of this chapter.
Found in book of inspired ideals. and of
unearthly conceptions, this chapter stands
with scarcely a rival. Prof j. Stuart
Blake in his work on moral culture ad-
yises all persons to make themselves very
familiar with certain portions of the
Bible. He places first in the list of i'm

A POPULAR PREACHER

By nature most persons shrink a lit
tie from the preacher who amplifies
his paragraphs of spiritual facts One
wishes to go home with something so
terse, so emphatic and so eminently
simple in ones mind that 1t will keep
its place there through the week. This
is not altogether a modern tendency.
Many years ago a countryman, wan
dering hopelessly through the streets
of Boston on a Sunday morning, was
accosted by a native, who asked him
what he wanted.
II want" said he, "to find the man
who breaches short sermons"
The native had no hesitation in point
ing out the street which led to the
church of which DR.. Charles Lowell
was the minister. but anxious to dis
cover what peculiar hold this minister
had taken of this mans fancy, he sug-
gested that the sermons at the West
church were very short indeed, and
that perhaps the great city might offer,
to one who seldom entered it, others
more likely to please.

A GOOD FOUNDATION
The Secret of Success

have been very much interested in
reading of the great skill necessary for
laying the foundations of the immense
steel structures which are built at the
present day, weighing as they do thou
sands of tons; how they build three or
four stories below ground and con-
struct below them great piles of mason
ry upon which all may rest securely, so
that the building will not settle un-
evenly, but will remain strong and safe
for centuries to come. For many weeks
the passer by from the distance sees
little or no progress. So it is with
voice building-the foundation must be
laid carefully, slowly, with due atten-
ton to the breadth, strength and SAFETY
of the future voice.
Much time may be spent in doing
things which to the casual observer
seem superfiuous, as in the removal OF
Instructions. Friends say, II cannot
see that he is learning anything" They
are watching half-mile away while
the foundation is being laid. The pupil
is probably being taught to breathe cor
rectly, to control muscles of the mouth,
lips and tongue which have always
been a law unto themselves, and 1t
truly often seems to him to be much
ado about nothing" He needs no help
to become discouraged.
But it is not long before the evidences
begin to show to him what is being
done, for he is on the spot and can see
for himself when the first stone is laid.
Then as the foundation grows his as
surance grows with 1t. 1t no longer
tires him to sing as 1t did before he
studied. And as the practice period
gradually lengthens and the founda-
III r1 hn his ola
tion grows.
Ny pupil, Frederick Gunster, after
his last recital here, in which he sang
for an hour and a half, said to me:
Il am not at all tired; l could do 1t
right over again"
When a pupil begins his vocal study
with teacher who permits or requires
long periods of practice at the begin
ming, something is wrong. 1t is like
laying the foundation upon the sur
face of the ground-it is like sprinting
at the beginning or the long race.
Things may appear to go very well
for while, but the mushroom growth
that apparently shows results the
quickest sooner or later topples over
to its own destruction. The many sweet
voices ruined, with their accompani-
ment of blasted hopes and lifelong
griefs, are sad Illustrations of the at
tempt to rear a building of massive
proportions without a strong and suffi-
cient foundation.
There may also be disasters in the
upper building, as when those masses
of concrete which are not given time to
harden fall of their own weight Sing
ing is an art requiring the strength and
endurance of a trained gymnast. Ru-
bini, the great tenor, broke his collar
bone In taking high note. That other
sweet singer, who died of consumption,
induced by her too strenuous and ex-
haustive work in singing the Wagner
ian roles, is profound illustration of
the fact that the physical contour and
bedrock firmness of the foundation
must be in exact proportion to the
massive strength of the superstructure
to be reared upon it, or disastrous re-
suits are sure to follow. 1t takes TIME,
but 1t Is time we'll spent.
