Walter Wellman's condemnation of
DR.. Cook would look better if Wellman
himself had ever gone farther north
than the summer resorts of the Norwe-
gian fisherman. And at that. his taking
sides in favor Of Peary at this time
makes it pretty clear that DR., Cook
will be rejected by the judgment of the
world. Wellman is a very shrewd fell

which way the jury was going to de-
eide.

WHAT? CHEAPER sHoEs9

We note in the advertisements the
declaration of shoe merchants that they
are cutting the prices of shoes; that
shoes can now be bought at lower
price than ever before known in Utah;
that the dealers are actually reducing
the price below that of last year.
This should be good news to every
one, since everyone wears shoes. 1t
should even be good news to those crit
icaI persons who solemnly declared the
price of shoes would be higher because
of the latest Republican tariff law.
Be fair. ASK your dealer. You will
find the prices are not increased.

The Power Of Song.
BY LEONARD DAUGHERTY.

''It was the spirit of Christianity
which animated anew the soul of
music"
1t is easy to trace through the
history of civilization the wonder
full force of popular melodies rep
resenting thoughts and emotions
that have prevailed from time to
time and helped to shape the
course of,events. There seems to be
something in the human heart that
demands musical outlet for GER
tain forms of patriotic and relig
ious feeling. There is no higher
human power than music. 1t will
move mems souls when the great
est orators fail A few years ago
some one watched the most noted
inhdel in the world, Colonel Rob
ert q. Ingersol, as he listened to
that great master, Remenyi, draw
ing his wondrous bow upon violin,
Those marvellous strains soon
touched the overlooking heart OF
the famous agnostlc, and as the
tears fell from eyes that had SO
often flashed with scorn, everyone
present felt as never before the
striking wonder Of the pathos,
beauty aud power of music. There
is something like divine infu-
ence in mussc, and that explains
,hy birds Of prey do not sing, and
fidelity has no song.
By the power and influence of
these songs, men and women have
made possible the greatest evange-
listic movements of the centuries.
One writer has said song writer's
are political, social and religious
reformers. They have stirred the
heart of mankind deeply by the
sweeping, conquering impressions
Of their song These great pro-
ducts of the heart are SO universal
in their use, aud have such mys-
terious power, that some one has
said that not until we know why

regular order. Where the form of
the service permits the director
should adapt his selections to the
theme of the sermon, When SER
mon, hymns and solos and con-
gregational songs all tend to the
enforcement Of a special thought,
the effect upon the congregation
is powerful. It is always impo5si-
BILE to find selectsons appropriate
to sermon topic. The director
should always give a tone to the
service. One of solemn worship,
Of praise or of thanksgiving, as
may seem best under the circum-
stances. Too many services have
little point to them as the ordinary
miscellaneous concert programme.
They cause the intelligent and
sensitive to wonder what is going
to happen next 1t is unwise to
give heavy choruses with few vol
ces on a part. 1t is firing to the
singers and unfair to the compo-
ser, and disappointing to the au-
dience. The choir should be made
to understand that its reason for
existence is its Sunday service.
The director and minister should
do all in their power to magnify
the work of the chorus. No mat
ter how eminent the soloiSt en-
gagged for special work, the chorus
is the backbone of the entire pro-
gram, Everything possible should
be done 10 cause the members of
the chorus to feel that the work is
theirs. The advertising should not
minimise the excellent work Of the
chorus. Too often, after q splen-
did song service of twenty to thir-
ty inmates, we hear the pastor or
evangelist say: eve will not be-
gin the service by reading the
twenty-third Psalm"
Mr.. Sankey said once that preach
ers did not make as much of the
singing as they should. So often
the prayers sne offered for all parts
of the work and worship except
the choir and their songs. This is
discouraging to singers. Do not
keep your audience waiting; begin

benefactor Of humanity.
Frances Willard has told US that
no names are deathless save those

weds perfect music to nobleat words

Why not use it to a better pur-
pose in our churches and homes?
In organizing a church choir,
account should be taken of it's pur-
pose and design, the size of build
ing, etc. 1t should be conducted
by a large choir of Christian work
ers, who should encourage the con,
gregation to join heartily in sing
ing the songs of Zion, instead of
monopolizing the service them
selves. I would have the chorus
and the organ in front OF the au-
dlence, and near the minister, and
would insist on department by
the singers in keeping with the
service. The conduct of the choir
will have very much to do with
the success of the preaching.

the interest of state organization of

Mr.. Scott addressed the Hoosier re-
union of Jewell county at Burr Oak,
at which time proposition to hold a
Grand Homec oming reunion for all ex-
Hoosiers of the world. at Indianapolis
in 1910, if possible was introduced.
Resolutions endorsing the proposed re-
unoin were adopted, and an executive
committee appointed to cooperate
with similar committees of this and
other states. Mr.. Scott is here in be-
half of this committee to prepare way
for the state organization.
local organization of ex-Hoosiers
was organized in Topeka December 3,
1880, with liza members, of which H.
Clark is president, and E. A. Austin
secretary. Circulars explaining the
homecoming reunion and making a
call for a convention to be held at
Topeka for the organization of state
association will soon be issued.
1t is requested that all names and
addresses of ex-Hoosiers throughout
the state be sent to E. A. Austin, To-
peka, at once. 1t is hoped to secure
at least a trainload for the Indian
apolis reunion, and to make Kansas
the banner state.
Governor Stubs and many of our
state and county officers and other
prominent gentlemen are ex-Hoosiers
and promise their support to the move
ment, as also does the governor and
other prominent men of Indiana.
