1.-THE music of the Hebrews is al.
ways grave. melodic, kind and sad.
The emotions 1t arouses are sucn
as speak of trials borne for ages, yet
possibly never to be overcome. Ger.
talnly never to be forgotten. No

music tells the history OF the Jews

music was born under the wings Of
civilization and the church. Since
that time the goddess 'Muslca' re.
peatedly has changed her dress and
character, from the spiritual to the
worldly. from pathos to Joy. from
folk song to war song and from
hymns to dance music, being gov
erned entirely by changes in the
social and political conditions. Thus
We see how the church music OF
