PROF. ]. ". MERRlLL'S
INTRODUCTORY CONCERT
4 DECIDED SUCCESS

Music is prophecy OF what life
IS to be; the rainbow OF promise
translated out of seeing into hear
ing.
The people Of Grand Rapids are
certainly lovers Of good music The
local band never announces a concert
but what the capacity Of the Opera
House is tested to its utmost. This
was true on Tuesday evening. May
End, when the Introductory concert
under the new director was given.
Judges of good music consider this
one Of the best ever given by this
organization.
The cornet solo by Prof Merrill
showed rare skill in his rendition of
a solo on that instrument and brought
forth a storm Of applause.
The duet by Messrs. Robt. Morse
and Carl Bandelin on the clarionets
captiyated the audience as they al
ways do on every appearance. The
audience is never satisfied with one
number of this excellent music and
always insist upon a response. They
were recalled a second time.
One of the most delightful fea-
lures CT the evenings program was
the violin solo given by Prof. Merrill
and accompanied on the piano by
Mrs. l. P Witter That the audi
ence appreciated this number was
evidenced by the hearty applause and
persistent encores to which the pro-
fessor responded and was again re
called, and responded The local band
and everyone Of its members are higl
ly appreciated in the community and
they will always be assured a cordial
reception on their public appearance
at the concerts soon to begin for the
summer.
Music moves us, and we know
not why; We feel the tears but con-
not trace their source. Is it the
| language Of some other state born
of it's memory? For what can wake
the souls strong instinct of anot'er
world ike music?''

Who Wrote the PSalmse

For years opinions were divided as
to the authorship and history of this
Book of Psalms. The early commenta-
tors maintained that David wrote all
the Psalms, being called the Book of
David. In later years some held that
only those Psalms superscribed Mezmor
'leF David were his own production
Others claimed that none of the Psalms
reached the Davidic period
The views of the early commenta-
tors is absurd. 1t is impossible to
imagine that David was the author
of by the Rivers of Babylonia" or
20 God, the heather are come into
thine inheritance" With no certainty
can we assign to David all the Psalms
superscribed Mezmor 'le' David, while
it is commonly translated Psalm of
David, the Hebrew le' is never used
to indicate the maker or author of
anything. Besides, no one man could
have written all these Psalms; they.
bear differences of thought and ex-
preston which is 'beyondsthe range
The Jewish herald. (Houston, Tex.) 1908-1914, 1911-11-24
Fourth Year

The Book of Psalms was originally
a HymnBook of the Jewish people.
Its Hebrew name is Thelim-"Praises"
or Songs of Praise" The word
Psalm in the English comes from the
Greek word Songs Set to
Music"-whch name was given to it
by those who spoke Greek. 1t is a
collection of religious and devotional
poetry made up of songs of praise and
prayers. The Psalter contains $50
Psalms and while we speak of it as
one Book, it is really made up of
distinct and separate Books, each en-
bracing the work of many different
authors and periods.
The first book ends with the Forty
First Psalm; the second book with the
Seventy the third with the
Eighty Ninth; the fourth with the one
Hundred and Sixth; and the fifth with
the One Hundred and Fiftieth.
Who it was that brought these col
lections together, we do not know The
work evidently was done after the
Babylonish Captivity. All the evidence
points to the fact that by far the great
er portion of the Psalter was written
in the 300 years between the Reforms
of Ezrah and Nehemiah and the Mac
cabean revolt. Very likely this com
pilation was made with the hope of
using it in the second Temple. Those
who have compiled it have gathered
the best from the sacred treasurers Of
Hebrew poetry of all the Centuries
past.

ing. For time no man could be adj
mitted to the highest order of clergy
unless he knew the Psalms by heart.
1t has a place in the public worship
of every historic church. The new
testament is full of quotations from
the Psalms. No other book ever has
been to men of different races and of
different ideas what the Book of Psalms
has been. Those bent on religious emo
tons found in it a chosen treasure
of meditation and comfort for each
individual soul. Many a warrior was
stimulated to courage and victory by
recting certain favorite Psalms, and
many a great man on the verge of
sfailurs-Fenewed his courage witK yers-.
es from the same inspiring source.
The PSdlter and the JeCiSh Race.
The Psalter means more to our race
than to any other. 1t reduplicates
ancient Jewish thought Jewish spirit
and Jewish devotion-the National sac
red Poetical Hymn Book. With its Mu-
sic the ploughman titled the soil in an
cient Palestine. With its music sacri-
fees were offered in the Temple. With
its words the nation found expression
to praise God in time of prosperity and
prayers in days of darkness and gloom.
But its greatest blessing to the race
manifested itself mainly in exile days.
In exile, our race has been subject
ed to the most pressing conditions that
have ever befallen any people in the
history of the world. From the cradle
to the grave, the life of the Jew was
full of trouble and worry, his nerves
strained to the utmost, his mental fac
ulties on the verge of break down
The offspring aside from inheriting
weak, unstable nurone, were faced with
the same adverse conditions that had
drained the vitality of the parents
From the Torquemados of Spain to
the Antisemites of Western Europe to
the Black Hundred of present Russia
the Jcw has never foundn peace. For
ages he has lived in constant deadly
fear Fear, worry and anxiety have
dreadful, destructive properties upon
the nervous system. An animal such
as the rabbit, after 1t has been sub
jected to fear of dog for hours, then
killed and its brain examined, shows
destructive chemical changes of its
nerve cells. Wonder then, that our

mental diseases and disease of ner-
vous origin?
Viewing this subject from a Medical
standpoint, we would expect such
ace to have consumed all its mentality
long ago, but to our great surprise,
aside from a few exceptions, we find
the Jewish mind healthy, fresh and
vigorous In every land Jews have
added much to the progress of civili-
zahon and have contributed greatly to

without giving it chance to relax
is sure to follow The Jew in the
struggle for his existence and at times
for his very life, for six days long,
taxed his nervous system almost to its
capacity. But with the coming of the
Sabbath, his soul, mind and spirit
found rest On this day he distracted
his mind from all worldly affairs and
let ii rest on spiritual subjects alone.
For not only the body, but the mind
also has to rest on the Sabbath. One
must be cheerful on the Sabbath. He
must not weep or lament for the dead.
The Jewish mind was thus resuscitat-
ed, as it were and prepared for an
other ordeal of six days more. Heine
in his poetical fancy in one of his
famous poems, pictures the Jew evolv-
ing from dog into prince, with the
coming of the Sabbath. In week days,
the Psalter served to relieve the over
burdened souls, In all calamities
whether affecting the race, a commun-
ity family or single person, the
first thing thought of was to pray in
the words of the Psalms, If you were
to pass a Jewish home and hear the
chanting of the Psalms in melodious
oriental whine, you would know that
a bitter heart is pouring out his soul
before the Lord in prayers of his af.

found peace after such a prayer. He

The Poetry of the Psalms.

Poetry is the echo of a yearning
soul. 1t is not an art. The earliest,
untutored spontaneous raptures are
the best, the sweetest. There was
bard in Judah, centuries before Homer,
whose songs, ever since have been
singing by the millions. They touch
all phases of life and vibrate blended
notes of JOY and grief, faith and doubt,
hope and fear, praise and penitence,
They tread all paths of human eXper-
fences from boyhood to old age. Harp
in hand, the shepherd boy was sing
ing immortal songs that re-echo from
millions of lips through all the ages.

ing due reverence for the whole

of a single mind. To maintain that
none of the Psalms reach the Davidic
period, makes it hard to think that
this book would become so firmly con-
nected with David. We would rather
think that King David is the author
of certain Psalms and the rest were
made up at different periods by diff
ferent authors, making it the National
Hymn Book. David in his age was
famous as a singer and musician. His
character became idealiZed in later ages
and he became regarded as the found
er of National song; just as Moses be-
came regarded as founder of all Ma
tional Laws; hence the Book of Psalms
was called the SOCK of Dss ieasisp -ssssa-ze
The character of the Psalms.
In the words of one who treats this
subject, 1T is a unique Book of sacred
poetry which has nothing like it nor
second to it. 1t expresses the ideas
and feelings of a religion of which
the Central and absorbing object of
faith is one who is believed to be the
absolute, universal, living God, the one
God of the world and all things. 1t
not only expresses this religion, but
as a matter of fact it has been one
of the most certain means of main
tanning unbroken the tradition or full
lest conviction of it,"
