God requires not talents. but sub
mission. It matters little to him wheth-
er a life be common or great, as the
world views It. He only asks that the
life be yielded to him. He is perfectly
able to fill it with all power, and to
use it to accomplish mighty works in
his name. There is no life too hum
BILE to be greatly used of God. He
wants not worth, but willingness.

STATE EVENTS.

One of the most exquisitely APP
pointed Inequalities of the mid win
ter social season at Grand Forks was
the reception and tea given by Mrs.
Charles j. Murphy and J. B. Wine
man at Mrs. Murphy's home in that
CITY, The hours were from to 6
o'clock and one OF the largest COM
panies ever received at one social
function called during the afternoon
and midst surroundings Of fresh fra
grant blossoms and green happily
chatted with one another as they par
took of the delectable tea service. All
the rooms of the pretty home were
done in pink and white and tulips in
those delicate shades filed crystal
touch of unusual grace and charm. The
dining room was lovely in its floral
establishment and the service table
was beautiful. The bowls of pink and
white blossoms were most effectively
arranged and the glitter of the cut
glass dishes which held the bonbens,
minis and delicious cakes were further
frightened by the flicker of burning
tapers. The assisting ladies presided
in the dining room and were Mrs. w.

up with Cupid's messages, heart throbs
and love verses that it takes good
deal of digging back into the annals
of the past to ascertain why he was
chosen to be the patron saint Of the
capricious god of love.
History tells us that Valentine lived
in the third century, was a bishop of
Rome was prosecuted for his faith,
and died martyr. English literature
Of the Elizabethan period contains a
number of verses written for yalen-
tines day showing how In that time
Feb. Ia was regarded as special sea-
son of lovemaking even among the
birds, as the following lines of Dray-
ton show:
Muse, bid the morn awake,
Sad winter now declines,
Each bird does choose a mate,
The days Saint Valentines.
For that good bishops sake
Get up, and let us see
What beauty it shall be
That fortune us assigns"
In this world, now so lacking in SEN
tinent, is is well that the spirit of
Valentines day with it's renewal of
love vows among those already mar
ried, it's pledges of undying affection
between betrothed lovers, and the ex-
change of love tokens among near and
dear friends is being revived. The
children of this age and generation
need all the poetry and sentiment that
can be put into their lives and I am
sure that st. Valentine, bishop and
martyr must feel a keen sense of
gratitude to have been chosen to pre-
side over and guide the footsteps of
his special messenger, Cupid, as he
flitas hither and yon bearing the heal
ing balm Of love for all who are pierced
with the sharp darts from his culver.

fellows in literary and musical con-
tests. 1t would indeed be difficult
to estimate the great value of this
national institution in maintaining
a high musical standard and in vital
izing the language and literature of
Wales.
Many, if not most of the men who
SO delightfully."- entertained us on the
evening of Nov. 2Sth have been prize
winners in these tournaments; and
much of their SUPER GRITTY as singers
is the product of the competitive drill
through which each contestant must
have passed
1t may not be generally known
by the readers of the Herald that
the voices we heard Tuesday night
exception taken no lessons in vocal
music, other than the long lesson
learned through competition. The
Welsh boys and girls begin to sing as
soon as they learn the first words of
their simple folk songs. All about
them are the rich tones Of the harp
and of their elders; music sweet in
melody and rich in harmony is heard
about the fireside, by the shore, in
the field, and underground. And
from these various sources have gath
cred such men as now make up
the Mountain Ash Choir, an organ
iZation numbering over eighty voices.
Our college organist, Doctor Evans,
prior to his coming to the United
States, was director of large church
choir in Merthyr Tydoil, not many
miles distant from Mountain Ash.
More than once his choir was in com
petition with the men of Mountain
Ash and not always to the advantage
of the latter,
The Choir left Pullman for a three
nights performance in Seattle. From
Seattle they go to Vancouver, b. G.
then back to Seattle and on the foi
lowing night they will be heard in
Tacoma.

Those whose privilege and pleasure
t was TO hear the brilliant musical
performance of last Tuesday evening
will have for many a day lingering
sense of having heard something eff
fectiye and musically beautiful. 1t is
matter of common concession by all
those best fitted to judge that the
singing of the Mountain Ash Choir
of sixteen native Welshmen was the
best of its kind that has been heard
by a Pullman audience.
Although Pullman is but mere
spot on the map in comparison with
those cities usually favored by the
best type of musical performances
We are in this respect in a class with
Spokane, Seattle, TocOma and other
towns of like size; for, during the
last ten years Pullman audiences have
heard much of the worlds best mu-
sic from the voices and instruments
of many of the worlds best perform
ers. And the Mountain Ash Choir
was no exception to the rule, unless
it be conceded that the refined de-
light of their singing won the ap-
probation of greater than usual
number of listeners.
Music is part of the very warp
and wool of a Welshmans makeup.
Since the time of Grugydd alb Cynan.
away back in the twelfth century. the
people of Wales have been singing,
not as a means to an end, but be-
cause music is part of the natural
everyday life. So important is it
regarded that for generations the
peasantry of Wales has maintained
that national tournament. the Eistid-
dood, the first one of which was held
at Cardigan in 1916. At the time
of the Eistiddood great concourse
OF people from all the valleys and
mountain glens of Wales meet to
witness the most important event
of the principality. For it is then
when men meet to vie with their
