BRINGING MUSIC
TO THE MASSES
School and Municipal Coop
Grafton Aid Greatly in
Building Up Music

In a recent interview. Reginald
good any musician can accomplish
is to make music pleasurable and
helpful part of the lives of the mas
ses. For that reason he is inclined
to consider the popular song a def
mite and important feature in mus
ical development. perhaps the
popular song is not of high stand
ard but it plays large part in de-
veloping latent musical interest "
he says.
DeKoven's observation leads one
to ask what is being done today to
give the masses music. Many cities
are making muics l6vers in a demo-
cratic way through the public
schools. Instead of confining them
selves to the ordinary routine sing
ing in assembly they have separate
and massed school orchestras, Choir
al organizations, plans for accredit-
ing music studied outside, etc. In
other places the idea is being carried
out through municipal band con-
certs in the parks, civic financial aid
to bands, orchestras, choruses and
such institutions, and the encourage
ment of all musical programs in
churches. and concert halls by pub
lie spirited citizens.
The results aimed at are to pro-
duce the type of person who will
in later years say with a well-known
businessman: "Of the many things
have done. no other has given me
more pleasure that the fact that /
learned a little music in my youth
and kept it up as I advanced in
years. 1T has never brought me a
dollar, but there are plenty of ways
to make money. My bit. of music
has given me more than money; ii
has been the key that opened many
pleasant homes for me and won for
me the friendship of many good peo-
pie"

Will Show War Pictures
At Olivet Presbyterian

Tomorrow night at 7.3O the
Olivet Presbyterian Church will have
war pictures, showing the barbarism
of the Germans in their destructive
ness. These pictures, made by the
United, States Government, are the
property of the church.
Pictures of Albeit around the
Somme, Rheims and other noted
places will be shown. They give a
clear idea of Germans ways of wag-
ing war and the falsity of the Ger
man slogan "Gott NIT uns''-God is
with us.
This is the first time these pictures
have been shown in Harrisburg and
they come with an appropriate time

Sacred Music Excerpts
By PROF. ]. H. KURZENKNABE

After reading the proclamation OF
Governor Brumbaugh on Commu-
nifty Singing" so ably presented in
the recent music festival by John c.
Freund, of New York, Professor j.
II. Kurzenknabe, the veteran music
teacher and song writer felt 1t ap-
propriate to open newspaper pub
licity with his lecture on Sacred
Music" excerpts from which follow
Praise is an important factor in
Christian worship. For centuries the
best music and most eminent musi-
clans were of the church and their
consecrated endeavors and influence
added much to the success of the
early Christians. Appropriate music
in the church, participated in by the
entire congregation, prepares pastor
and people for the services and in
spires their devotions. When the
music of the church is intelligently
and devoutly conducted and prelude,
anthems, hymns, postludes and
Scripture readings all have the same
theme, then the service is a unit of
force, one great act of praise.
The character of the musical service
for the church seems to be little ap-
preciated; the most sacred and in
spring words are sung to popular
melodies, sentimental songs or ope-
ratio airs purely secular in their
association and character.
Really sacred music is inspiring
and elevating. Its exalted spiritual
character. its whole influence is re-
fining, enobling, worshipful.
God has given the voice of melody to
all things that he created and man,
bird. beast. ocean and grove give
back their native hymn of praise
10 There is no medicine Cor

song; no earthly physician for the
despondent like music.
Music dates back to the very
days of Adam and instrumental ac-
Compartment to song is as old as
the human race. the patriarchs using
both on festive occasions.
We read of the lyric poets singing
their poems instead of reading them;
orators sang their orations and con-
querors were hailed with music and
song, the greatest honors that could
be bestowed by the multitude.
David. the sweet singer of Israel,
wrote the Psalm to be chanted at
public worship and private devotion.
many of them addressed to the chief
musician, and even to-day they are
the theme of Praise throughout the
Church of God. Solomon
at the dedication of his great Temple
employed 100000 Levites with trum-
pets, harps and other instruments of
music to play and with heart and
voice and instrument in reverent SER
vice there was not a shouting crowd
with out n leader, but the praise of
their souls went up even to the
throne of God.
I'm all ages and by all nations
music has been conceded to be a
thing divine, belonging to worship
and as a national force

The Holland Children

Once upon time there lived in
Holland a large family of children.
Their names we're Fritz, Gretchen,
Hans, and Katrina. Hans and
Gretchen were twins. Katrina was
the eldest and Fritz was the young
est.
Their father was dead, and their
mother did washings to support the
family.
One day Fritz went on an errand
for his mother. He had to 60
through the woods. He got lost in
the woods and didn't come back for
two days.
Meanwhile Katrina and her
mother had been looking for him,
while Hans and Gretchen stayed
home and took care Of things. Kat
trina and her mother came home
very sad because they couldn't find
Fritz.
At the end of two days he came
home cold and hungry. His mother
fed him and gave him warm clothes
to put on. After that the whole
family lived happy ever after
