The aviation school in question has

out with steady regularity because
of the speed with which the students
reach the level OF competent airmen.
But this depends, of course. upon the

Sunday School Rally
Postponed Because of
Union Patriotic Rally

AT a meeting of the Methodist
ministers and Sunday school boards
Of this city in the interest of the
Sunday school drive now on in their
schools for greater efficiency, the
Monday night union patriotic rally
was discussed. The following reso-
lutions were adopted at the Preach
ers' preliminary conference and they
were accepted at the mass meeting
that followed.
Resolved, That we postpone our
usual Monday night Sunday school
mass meeting which was to be helc
on April 22 for conference. inspira-
tion and study of modern methods in
Sunday school work on account of
the patriotic rally to be held in
Chestnut Street Hall on said night;
Resolved, That we urge all our
adult and teen-age Sunday school
people to attend this meeting and
suggest that where satisfactory ar
rangements can be made the organ
lied mems Bible classes attend in a
body;
Resolved, That we take this action
particularly because this is the first
attempt on the part of the National
Interdenominational Committee on
the Church and the Moral Aims of
the War to hold a union meeting of
all the denominations in this city
for patriotic and moral purposes as
related to the world war"

MUSIC IS GOOD
FOR THE BLUES
Possesses Unlimited Power to
Encourage and Inspire
Confidence

In thinking of the helpfulness of
music there is frequent neglect in
bot dwelling upon the power of music
TO counteract what is commonly
called "the blues" 1t is doubtful If
any other phase of music has been
a greater boon to humanity, than its
ability to drive away "the blues"
The power to counteract also be-
comes the power to prevent. II any
|member of the family gets down in
the mouth over his or her work, or
the cares of life, or the peculiar sit
|iations that confront one periodical
|ly tending to depression, then the
is music-and lots of it.
IL one desires to guard against
such feelings the sure way is to en-
courage the opposite feelings-joy-
business, and good will. Then too
the prescription is more music.

With Choir and Organist

A Sixth street music dealer spoke
of the popularity of the song, Keep
the Home Fires Burning" the other
day. He said when the composition
first appeared as Victrola record.
woman who brought ii returned it
! after keeping it over night II don't
think l like it very well.'' she said.
In few days the sales increased
wonderfully and in a few more days
the woman returned, asking for it.
The dealer did not have the record,
| and the woman is waiting at this late
day for the music she spurned when
1t first appeared.
Patriotic selections appear with
cheering frequency on choir pro-
grams these stirring times. Perhaps
no more dignifled composition than
Dekoven's God of Our Fathers
better known as "Recessional." is
| employed in the showing of national
| fervor. Grace Methodist choir will
sing this composition as its anthem
number at tomorrow evenings
service. At Messiah Lutheran Church
Abner w. Hartman, leader in things
musical but of his choir more par
! ticularly, will sing THE American
Flag" arranged by Stearns, as a bass
| solo. Another patriotic number
Gracious Lord, Save the Republic"
with soprano solo by Mrs. Lee Izer
will be sung by the choir.
The beauty of the musical writing
of Obey Speaks is known all over the
country. He has written an unus-
ually effective setting of the Psalm
| lists plant, How Long Wilt Thou
I t1ynronf In ois xxyI,i Oh, 1.,;II h..
contralto solo by Miss Cassel at
Reformed Salem Church at the
Sunday morning service.
A new organist has been playing
on the four-manual Moller organ at
| the Regent Theater for sev-
! eral weeks. taking the place
! of Miss Marion Merchant, who is
away on vacation. The new play
er is John Crist, of Camden. n. J.,
and his work has attracted the fa-
vorable attention of Regent theatre
! patrons. Mr.. Crist played for six
years at a Camden motion picture
house and he brings to the Regent
valuable experience. He plays with
! frmness and vigor. his improvisa-
tions being especially satisfying.
The popularity of community sing
ing is bound to grow as the days go
J by. The war spirit has brought to
the front hundreds of melodies that
are being played and sung in hun
dreds of Harrisburg homes and when
the opportunity offers there scarce
ly can be a doubt but that the COM
munity singers will embrace the op-
! portunity to sing them, especially if
led by band or orchestra, which is a
part of the plan of those who labor
in the interest of the ovation.
| The presence at the mems mass
meeting at the Y. M. c. A. of the
vested choir of st. Stephens Church
will give many the opportunity of
hearing this splendid body of Choir
alists who render churchly service at
the North Front street church each
Sunday.

MUSIC MORE THAN
ENTERTAINMENT
An Art Equal to Painting and
Sculpture For Those
Who Know

Much depends upon the way one
looks upon music. The average per-
son regards it as mere entertain
ment. The child is sent to a music
teacher because it is distinction to
be able to perform with some facil-
because people are readily enter
tanned by the performance. The OBJ
Ject OF many young woman who is
learning to sing is to procure favor
able notice. She wants to hear peo-
pie say, How clever she is" when
the real object of singing is to COM
pei people to say, How beautiful
the music is Advertisements urg-
ing people to learn to play rag
time in ten lessons" are based upon
the entertainment ideal. If music is
to be merely pastime. then rag
time is as good as anything, pro-
Vided the average brain-content of
the company is such as to enjoy it.
Music is an art as great as paint
ing and architecture and poetry.
Art is the orderly expression of the
beauty of life. 1t is the practice
of wondering. The Monks, wonder
ing at earth and heaven, built Lady
Chapel in Litchfield Cathedral. Rem
brandt. wondering at the qualities
of light and shade, expressed them
on canvas. Beethoven, wondering at
human joy, produced the Ninth
Symphony
Danier Gregory Mason in one of
his charming books tells of the pow
erty of Mozart because he refused to
write in a more easy, popular style.
On one occasion he had no coal, and
he and his wife were found waltz
ing in their apartment to keep
warm. Mr.. Mason continues: Now
if Mozart could willingly face star
walton rather than lower his ideal
of what good music should be, and
If not only he, but Bach and Bee
thoven and Schumann and Schubert
and scores of others could even
| glory in being poor and unknown
and dverworked for the sake OF
! making music, ought not you and ]
to be glad to take some trouble in
order to appreciate it? Music as.
suredly is entertainment, but it Is
something infinitely more. The
Book of Ecclesiastes is entertaihine
poetry, but it is also the expression
! OF a genius who had thought. Ions
and deeply about the wonder OF life
| Good music is far more than a mere
harmonious noise.
