cures have undoubtedly been effected

The Crusaders marched out with

race life by putting 1t into song.
Music still moves men. 1t still brings
out in them their best. And such
men as John Mccormack are instru-
ments to this end because they inter-
pref music in terms of the living
world, just as the simple things of all
time have done, and will do.
Mccormack is greater than ever, be-
cause he has grown in experience of
men and life. He is essentially a
