WORSHIP IN SONG.
Oscar A. Kirkham delivered an ad-
d,ass on music. The speaker said
Americans are progressing in the art
az music and this is one Of the best
things for developing the finer feelings
Of humanity. The young peoples as
so,iations should work TO this end. II
would be better for us TO spend some
OF the valuable time now devoted TO
finding fault with the young people in
giving them something better Per-
nanont choir organization is perhaps
not advisable, but singing clubs are
true exIonents Of modern democracy;
they bring the young people together,
and music becomes an inspiration.
There Is no better way of expressing
patriotism than in music. and no better
way Of expressing devotion or worship
than in song There is a great future
before the Mutual Improvement asso-
cations IN the field Of music. and they
should make the best OF their oppor-
tunities

THE DRAMAS PART.
The subject Of the drama in the as
toclations was treated by Mrs. Alice G.
Tuddenham. Suitable plays for presen-
tation by ward associations are of first
Importance The drama Is of great
benefit In the development of the youth,
and Il Is Of highest Importance that
proper plays be presented, for IN giving
the plays those taking part learn and
rehearse and live the parts. Sugges-
tons as to smoking drinking. and i'm
proper use Of the name Of Deity should
be avoided In any play produced. Plays
should be submitted TO the general
board before being presented. Do these
things under the direction OF the Spirit
Of the Lord and you will be successful.
