The annual thank offering meeting
Of the Woman's Missionary society of
the Presbyterian church yesterday
afternoon was an unusually success
full event. The ladies met at the home
of Mrs. Geo. Rusk on Front street and
the feature of the afternoon was a
paper on Indian Music by Mrs. Bunce,
Indian songs being illustrated by Mrs.
H. H. Wheelock in her capable man
ner. Mrs. Bunce's paper was an ex-
ceptionally fine one. She said: "Mu-
sic enveloped the Indians individual
and social life like an atmosphere.
There was no important personal ex-
p~erience where it did not bear a part,
nor any ceremonial where it was not
essential to express religious feeling.
This universal use of music was due
to the belief that it was a medium of
communication between man and the
Unseen. The invisible voice could
reach the invisible power. When he
went forth to hunt, he sang songs
that he might capture the game, and
so secure food and clothing for his
family. When he confronted danger
and death, he sang, that strength
might be given him to meet his fate
unfinchingly. When he wooed, when
he m%ourned, when he planted, in his
sports and games, in every religious
r1rArn1nsal gnpnr mas 4hn fyxy, r;o hJo
accompaniment. The women, too, had
their songs, one class of them, the
weton, was composed and sung ex-
clusively by women for the sole pur-
pose Of exerting their will power to
assist absent warriors in battle. High
err than all, the Indian people are
children of the same Father, ransom
ed by the same Savior, inheritors Of
the same destiny. They are bound to
us by the reciprocal wrongs Of CEN
turies-wrongs which because of our
greater light make the balances very
much heavier on our side. Instead,
then, of ~cultivating prejudice and in
tolerance, may we learn more sym
pathy and greater helpfulness.'' The
Indian songs, Omaha Love Song, The
Tribal Prayer, The Mothers Vow, The
Sacred Song of Peace, n the War
rior Song were Interpreted with all
their original beauty, a dificult thing
for Of all music that of the Indian is
the most wierd and peculiar, it is
taken directly from the voices Of the
prairie and the wilderness and was
difficult to secure in printed music.
Following the programme refresh
ments were served mi a social time
enjoyed.
