CHAPTER XXXII
National Celebrations in the Churches

ON NOVEMBER Is, the kings name-day, a high
- mass, followed by the TIE Deum, sung in sew
eral churches, among others at st. Gudule and at
st. Jacques-sur- -Coudenberg. On the pretext that
some members of the congregation had on coming
out of the church, sung the "Brabanconne," and
raised shouts of "Long live the King" Belgium
forever" "Lberty forever! the town of Brussels was
punished by General Hurt, Governor of Brussels and
Brabant. According to an order dated November 90
all public establishments were to be closed at 8 o. M
and the inhabitants were forbidden to frequent the
streets between $3.50 p. M and m. The penalty was
not abrogated till December 10.
On the occasion of these Incidents Baron Won Bliss
ing addressed to the Cardinal the following letter:

society permits, it might be a good idea
TO have the award of q medal carry
with it an appearance in one of the
public orchestral concerts of the Phil
harmonic. 1t is doubtless too late for
such an arrangement to be made for the
present season, but it would be
fine incentive for the competition next
wear if the present one be sufficiently
successful to warrant repetition.
There could be no more successful way
of locating solo talent in the city than
this.
A CERTAIN Doctor Twitmeyer has
4 aroused the ire of the Philadelphia
musicians who take pride in their call
ing by a remark which he made after
youthful violinist had played for a
small group of musicians and psycholo-
gists in this city about week ago.
'The child is not only developed musi-
cally in a most unusual degree" the
learned doctor is quoted as having said,
''but his general intelligence is also
far above par. Why, most of the mature
musicians with whom l have come in
contact not only lacked great intelli-
sence, but did not even have common
sense"
1t would be interesting to know with
Just what class of musicians Doctor
Twitmeyer has come into contact, in
order to make this specific and sweep
ing mental diagnosis for the craft
Clearly the Doctors musical acquaint
ance must have been limited to musi
clans of the third or fourth grade, be-
cause to be able to play the better kind

me ask you again to be wary of arbitrary interpre-
tations of words uttered by preachers. Thus the
alleged words attributed to Capuchin Father quoted
in your letter, ENGLAND has guaranteed Begium's

Interpretation and is not that one which ought
to adopt? l have not as yet been able to get in
formation as to the sermon you complain about but
l understand very well that might say-precisely
to avoid what on another occasion you called proph
ecy-we have a sure guarantee given us by the
treaty of London that European peace will not be
concluded SO long Belgium has not recovered her
independence.

sages of my pastoral which have particularly Of

in my opinion. suppressed them willingly because
you were kind enough to declare that you put no
obligation upon me. / wished to prove to you there
by not only that anxious to spare those trouble
who devote themselves to my service, but also that
l know when my conscience allows me how to sacri-
flee my own personal views in order to avoid dis

great point of telling you that my free concession
was not to be interpreted the acknowledgment of a
right of the occupying power to watch or censor
