III -zFz.5 HE story OF lTeland's music
EitSNk9lA Is, indeed, the story OF Ire.
$A4s land. So important q part
ESHI&S has. the harp played in
h!&AZlB Erin's annals. SO closely
g interviewer is music with
her affairs, educational, political, so.
cial, and religious, that to omit men
tion Of her minstrels and minstFelsy
while writing of Erin would be prac.
tically to rob Ireland of her history.
From the beginning, centuries be.
fore Christ, music held a high place
in Irish life. The Milesians brought
the harp with them. The bards en-
joyed official rank. Rich lands were
set aside for their maintenance and
Laws and chronicles were written in
poetry and were recited at the great
festivals held at Tara. The ancient
name of Tara itself, Temur, was de.
rived from tie signifying melody,
and 'mur." wall. Temur, the wall
OF music" was so called from its
celebrity for melody above the other
palaces of Ireland.
The Milesians came directly from
Spain, but they had been wanderers
for centuries, and their civilizations
most resembled that of Egypt Hecca.
taeus, the Egyptian historian, writ.
ing Of Ireland about the year b. c.
500, says: "They say that Latona
was born here, and, therefore. that
they worshiped Apollo above all
other gods. That there is a
city likewise consecrated to this god,
whose citizens are most of them harp
ers. who, playing upon the harp.
chant sacred hymns to Apollo in the
temple" "a Is Aar a.
Proof of the affinity between Egypt
and Ireland is preserved in sculp-
tured harp at Ullard, County Kill

Music flourished in Ireland until
the Danes commenced to make de.
scents upon her coasts. These began
at the close of the eighth century
and continued for about 200 years.
The quality of Irish music, which up
to this time was religious in its pur.
posea. now changed somewhat. From
this period came some of the best bat
tie songs. They stream and crash
upon the ear like the warriors of a

5000 ATTENDING
 B. '. ?. |. MEET
Cleveland (Ohio) Union First to Fulfill 100 Stand
 ard of Excellence.

Kansas City, July 3.-Three thou sand Baptist young men and women were called to order at the twenty first convention of the Baptist Young Peoples Union of America, meeting ple's Union (South).
 After an address of welcome and a response, M. w. Hamilton, D. D., pres ident of the B. Y. P. U. tSouthD, de- livered an address in which he urged the churches to take more aggres- sive part in the social lives of the young people.
 We are beginning to realize" he said, that each church owes it to the young people to minister to their so- cial life and direct it into higher channels. 1t is a poor parent who will not set head and heart and purse to training and educating his chil- dren. The church is not less to be blamed if it fails to care for the young people in it's family and fails to train them for service.
 Because it has been found imprac- ticable to get young business and professional men to attend young peoples executive committee meet ings, the board of manager of the B. Y. P. U., in the report submitted to- day, recommended an advisory coun- cil of younger workers to be associat- ed with the board
 In the report special honor was given the Wilson Avenue B. Y. P. U., Cleveland, O., for being the first in the international field to fulfill the 100 per cent standard of excellence, as set forth in the last convention.
 Hope that the B. Y. P. U. of the North, South and Canada might be combined, was expressed by the Rev. Geo. P. Berhs of Baltimore, in re- spending to the address of welcome. His statement was cheered
