A Song With A
Wonderful Grip

Editor Daily Record-During the
last few years we have heard much
about the value of "a scrap OF paper"
Some 40 years ago had the pleasure
Of attending musical given by Phil
lips. a famous tenor of that time. at
Englassion hall. Holden, NO., and Of
hearing him sing. The memory Of it
is not yet effaced. Phillips had
charmed amny thousands OF men and
women by his wonderful singing in
the cities Of the United States end
Europe. When the concert was
about half over he stepped to TIE
front of the stage. holding e beautiful
mahogany case with a glass fr ont, N
his right hand He held it IN where
al lcould see, and re1 aTked: 81
ho'd in my hand. inclosed in this
case, a scrap OF p-par torn from the
margin Of a newspaper and handed 20
me one night while ! was giving a
concert at Ford's theater in Washing
ton. D. c.. for which have more than
once been offered $1,000. Let me
read II to you" II read like this:
please have Mr.. Phillips repeat the
song. Eternity but do not announce
that requested it, A. Lincoln"
A few weeks later John Wilkes
Booth sprang from the stage in Ford's
theater to the box in which the above
message was written. and assassinat-
ed our beloved president, whose death
all the world mourned.
! had never heard that song until
listened to Phillips sing 1t at Englas-
sion hall in Holden. never wit
messed such quietness in a theater in
my life as prevailed during his rendi-
tion Of that magnificent hymn. One
could almost hear a pin drop. SO great
was the attention and silence Of the
audience. XXX
Not until a week ago last Sunday
night have heard that song in more
than generation. when Mr.. Wick
land, with his well-trained voice, and
to the accompaniment OF sweet music,
sang II at the evangelistic service at
the Tabernacle. The same hush and
deathlike silence obtained as when
listened to IT more than generation
ago In Missouri. The 1000 or more
people in the Tabernacle assemblage.
with tense interest in the words and
spirit of the song. listened 10 Mr..
Wickland's wonderful singing with
reverent attention. and were made
better by it. AS he repeated in his
masterful manner the words. "Etern-
ity, where shall ] spend eternity2"
there was quietness in the buiidine
that could almost be felt, so absorbed
was the audience in the solo.
II seems to me that hundreds of
men and women since the episode in
Ford's theater. over a half. century
ago. haye had the same quetsion pre-
sented 20 them. and. like the mar
tyred president" wished for "a scrap
OF paper" upon which TO write a re-
quest TO have the song repeated. but
like him. would say: do not an
nounce that ! requested g."
