the same way be heard in any religious

Notlceabl9 among the people assem-
oleU TOT religious worship last week
was their remarkable familiarity with
| the words Of their songs. Children. men
and women and the old people had
the words on their lips and sang with
an abandon of feeling that dependence
upon hymn book would not afford.

Ihis brings TO mind the differentiated
criticism on the American public that
We 90 not know the words Of our ma

the same duty, and only a scattered few

anything, It should be universally
adopted, and on every occasion when
our national hymn is played or sung
