THE MINISTRY OF

Contributed by Manly II. Ramos,

song, and of earthly discord into
heavenly harmony. And it is in that
exalted rank we place tho organ in
public worship It is not the servant
of an idle hour It is not the costly
minister of merely aesthetic enter
tainment. II is not a mere side-shoW
occupying an unconsecrated corner
outside the holy place. The organ is
one nf the gifts of grace, appointed TO
minister to them who arc heirs OF
salvation. and to WOO them into the
restful inspiration OF the secret place
of God. For all music vocal and in
strumental, is one Of Gods most ex
quisite and most delicate gifts TO the
children Of men.
Music is more rervasive than
poetry, it is more ethereal more in
Isinuating, and II can sound its way
into hidden chambers of the life
where the profoundest poetry could
never reach. There are moods of the
soul when poetry Is irrelevant and
almost irritating. and In these moods
