Washington has had other weeks -

accomplished more good than any OF
them A wonderful feature OF IL was
that whoever attended the Emusic

only. They heard the kind we should
hear every day; that which inspires
us to better things. that which gives
us the spark of imagination. We who
have known trouble know that II
helps US to bear our troubles and
failures. Our hearing or sight may
fail us, but magnation-never. To
IL, music is tho straightest and-most

will put many wanderers on that
