'rhere are two ways of regarding music" says a writer. 'sYou may re gard 1t as an entertainment, in which case you will applaud, or you may re gard it as a sacrament and be silent The latter was the way of Sir Thomas Browne Even that vulgar and tnv- ern musfck,' he wrote, 'which makes one man merry, another man mad, strikes in me a deep it of devotion and a profound contemplation of the First Composer. There is something in it of divinity more than the ear discovers. It is 6 hieroglyphical and shadowed lesson of the whole world and crea- lures of God; such melody to the ear, as the whole world we'll understood, !, would afford the understanding. In brief, it is a sensible fit of that har- mony. which Intellectually sounds in the ears of God.' Chicago News.
