We're no other evidence than the Book of
Daniel, that alone would show how deep
ly the noblest hopes OF the theocracy
were conferred in the success of the
movement. When the feeling of the ma

power to its ancient faith, we might ex-
pect that there would be a new creative
epoch in the national literature; or, II
the form Of Hebrew composition was al
ready fixed by sacred types, a prophet
or psalmist would express the thoughts
of the new age after the models of old
time. Yet In part at least the leaders of
the Maccabaean times felt that they were
separated by a real chasm from the
times Of the kingdom or of the exile. II
they looked for a prophet in the future.
they acknowledged that the spirit Of
prophecy was not among them. The vol
ume of the prophetic writings was COM
plete, and, as far as appears, no one ven
turned to initiate it's contents. But the
HagiOgrapha, though they were already
long fixed as a definite collection, were
not equally far removed from imitation.
The apocalyptic visions of Daniel served
as a pattern for the visions Incorporated
in the Book of Enoch; and 1t has been
commonly supposed that the Psalter con-
talns compositions OF the Maccabaean
date. This superstition, however, is quite
at variance with the best evidence which
can be obtained on the history Of the
Canon.

A writer speaks of the low nature of
many vocal solos rendered during bands
concerts and asks if we lack composers of
more inspiring songs.
1t is not so much the lack of composers
as it is of the people who appreciate higher
class songs. The modern public desires
melodies of thtS nature; in fact, the ma
jority would not understand any other. If
the songs that were popular two score
or more years ago were produced to-day
they would, no doubt, be ieered at and
ridiculed. Surely the admirers of most of
the modern songs could not comprebend
