Powell's first New York recital this
season, given November u in Aeolian
hall. He went on further by saying
that the audience at the recital, if
called upon, would have given the
same verdict.
'There was the same rapt atten-
tion," he went on, "that prevailed at
the Paderewski recitals, the same out
bursts Of enthusiasm, the same keen
enjoyment of every number, the same
rush of deyotees to the stage when
the program was over and more and
more was still wanted. It was g tri-
umph that has come to few pianists in
recent years"
So runs the record of Mr.. Finck's
opinion to the extent Of more than
half column in which he gives many
specific reasons for this ultimatum.
Powell, when asked what he
thought Of ali this said, with his
characteristic modesty:
Il should say it would take the
shoulders of three pianists to carry
worthily so superb a mantle ,"

THE MANTLE OF PADEREWSKI

Just as Caruso was for more than
two decades the dominating figure on
the operate stage, so was Paderew-
ski the dominating figure on the con-
cert stage.
Caruso is dead and no one has been
named as his worthy successor. Pad
erewski, though still living, is likely
never to play again in puthc. But,
unlike Caruso, his successor has been
named
According to Henry 7. Finck, for
some 40 years music critic of the New
York Evening Post, Paderewski's
mantle will fall on an American hail
ing from Virginia, John Powell by
name.
Mr. Finck made this assertion after

anxious for college education. Mem
5ers of the Spartanburg association
in whose bounds he then lived, learn
ing of his desire offered him assist
ance to attend Furman university if
he would enter as a ministerial stu
dent. He told the brethren that he
could not accept their help on that
condition because he did not feel call
ed to preach, but that he would accept
and greatly appreciate q loan which
he would pay back in full as soon as
he could finish his education and earn
the necessary money. They declined
his request with the statement that
they had no funds except for minis
terial studnets, and could not even
make loan.
Later he removed to Anderson
county within the bounds of the Salu-
da association. The brethren of that
body soon became interested in the
earnest young man who had come
among them and made the same offer
that the S2artanburg brethren had
made and on precisely the same con-
ditions. The young man declined
again on the same grounds as before,
requesting only a loan to aid him.
Again his request was refused, be-
cause 70 funds had been provided to
help young laymen even to the extent
Of lending them money to be returned
in due time. As consequence Mr..
Gossett went without college educa-
tsion and he stated that it was one
of the greatest regrets of his life that
he was denied this ambition and de-
sire of his young manhood.
BY dint Of high character and hard
work Mr.. Gossett has made good. He
is now one of the leading mill eNecu-
tives Of the South. Moreover, he is

A STORY WITH A MORAL
Was Told at Meeting of Furman
Alumni

At the meeting of the Furman al

for the purpose Of organizing Fur
man club in that county, Mr.. Jas. P.
Gossett of WILLIAMSON told the story
of his efforts to- secure an education
which has profound significance for
the future educational policy of our
denomination. It is related here with
the hope that it may help US to es-
tablish better policy in dealing with
needy young men in the future.

prosperous planter, but all was lost
