MT. EdWdrd POWeU Lee

lORMINGHAM with it's constantly in ID creasing appreciation of beauti-ui music, concerts, opera, amateur and professional, continues to draw with in it's musical circles talent from the four concerns of these great UnisE1 States the latest addition being Mr. Ed ward Powell Lee. who arrived here re- gently direct from successful and varied activities in the east.
 Although southern by. birth, born and bI ed in our esteemed sister state Of Georgia, Mr. Lee has spent a large part of his musical life in the east, where he has been connected with some of the most important branches of evange- listic, church and oratorio work.
 At Mercer university, MT. Lee began his studies after finishing his prepara tory work in Locust Grove Preparatory school at Atlanta.
 He specialized in Musical Pedagogy and enlistment work and his voice work has been perfected with the famous teacher, Madame Schoen Rena of New Fork.
 In speaking of his utilization with the Southsde Baptist Church as assistant to the pastor. pr. J. E. Dillard and Direc- tor of Music, Dr. Dllard said few days ago:
 "We consider that we are very for tunate indeed in securing the services of such an able and up-to-date young man as Mir Lee. He has filled inn portant positions in the great Baptist churches Of Atlanta, Louisville, New York and other large cities, and the in- rovation of such an office in the South side Baptist Church promises to be of great worth and benefit to the con- gregation."
 After I met MT Lee, I felt sure that Dr. billiard had made mistake in the estimate of the young mans ability.
 short talk with him revealed to me sunny. bright, optimistic temperament. a devoted love of music and loyal utilization to the church of his choice.
 Young in years, but old in musical ex- perience, MT. Lees told me of some of his activities which are worth while recording.
 Ut was during my connection with Dr. John Roach Straton of Calvary Bap- list Church of New York in an evange- listic campaign that the important side of evangelistic singing emphasized it. self so indeliby upon my mind
 'I should say it began with my ac- tivites at Camp Pike during the War, he continued, "as camp musical direc- tor From the camp l was invited to mental solo.

where I acted as union secretary" Mir. Lee said and then started the eyange- lstic campaign with Dr. Straton, com ing directly to Birmingham from there.
 "Of course all this followed my ac- tiyities in my college life, Mir. Lee con- tinued. flor at Louisville when I at tended the seminary l was constantly in charge of different choirs assisting the pastors in their daily duties and doing practically every thing but preach.
 T feel that music is as essential to the spiritual success of church as the sermon" said MT. Lee. There are many times when music can touch the hearts of a congregation where the spoken word fails.
 "The stately majestic anthems have ar appealing place in the church serv- ice" said MT Lee. "and for the young people, nothing reaches their hearts like the gospel hymns and place is reserved for this special brand of music, wg1le the old fashioned hymns also make their appeal to the older members of the con gregation hence I advocate all forms of music, ancient and modern in the church service"
 "It is my purpose to organize one of the largest and best chorus chofrs which has ever been heard in this city. We have had at the Southside Baptist Church a double quartet choir but this will be augmented. We had slnBHls army so we must have a singing church and I am organizing every branch The mems choral and the womens choral has already been organized and takes. an active part in our church services. Mrs. C. I. Sharpe is president of this organization and now that we have 1t in active order we are organizing the young people-the boys and girls of tne church. and after every branch IS or ganized you can readily see that we will have a singing congregation.
 "The song leaders of the army have teen corralled into church song leader ship and realizing IS they do the ip' portance of song they have made ex- cellent directors knowing exactly how to manage large choruses."
 Asked as to his favorite composers Of church music Mir. Lee said
 "Of course Dudley Buck occupies place entirely and absolutely his own, while Herbert Johnson's compositions and Homer Bartletts are equally secure. The old classical composers, Handel, Beethoven, Bach and Mendelssohn-the great oratorio composers-ail are worthy of the exalted position they have made for themselves and the beautiful mes sage that they deliver to the hearts and minds of men.
