Lots of people think jazz is easy. It's

masters thought We had trick nstru-
ments They'd ask to examine our in
struments and then cry in surprise:

the others. You see we get those
special effects with roll of the tongue

There are no times in life when
blessings descend SO richly upon
the soul as in the quiet, meditatlVe
hours of determination, when,
alone with God, the soul learns more
of duty, and finds ways tc fulfil II
of privileges, and enters upon
their enjoyment.
You will realize the awful char
acter of sin, and will shun 1t as you
would a drink of deadly poison.
You will have learned how ito
keep the body under" how to break
every habit that has gained control
over you; and will rejoice over the
Conquest of self"
You will have gained deeper in
sight into truth, and better know
ledge of God and your relations to
Him.
Your character will be purified !;
your spiritual power will be in
creased; your Christian life will be
filled with richer experiences OF
prayer and devotion.
Looking upon the Cross, you will
realize that you have been bought
with a price," and that your tai
ents of mind and body belong to
Christ-your time, influence. money
life-all are Christ's; and you will
more fully consecrate them to His
service.
Your heart will be touched with
sympathy for your Redeemer; and
you will love Him with an intensel
love, and give Him the allegiance o.
your life.
You will love the Church better
than ever before
Her sweet communions, solemn
vows,
Her hymns of prayer and praise.
Are not these results worthy O.
