of expression for all human emotions, more especially those abstract emo tions which are fountain heads of desire, purpose and action. It is therefore capable of exercising both moral and immoral functions. Out of this region of emotion spring all the moral and immoral impulses which motive conduct, whether it be good or bad. Nothing like wholesome music creates ennobling emotions. The glorious truths of Holy Writ when set to appropriate music become douhly persuasive and impressive.
 All art worthy the name must aim to do more than to please. People are better or worse for the things in which they take pleasure. The beautiful, the true, and the good. are but different names for that moral wholesomeness which safe guards every institution of society. To spread abroad in the community a desire for good music is to raise the moral level of it's people. To employ this art to exploit the sensual capacities of the crowd is to blas- pheme holy thing.
 The first fruits of democracy in the province of the arts have been unpalatabls to true refinement. Music has suffered the invasion of the strl- dent and raucous jazz But in every other art, there has been a coFre- spending change. Painting. We san use the term "jazz" to describe the more modern types of pictures, as well as to describe the striking char acters on the platform and even in the pulpit. To merely denounce these things is utterly futile. The standards of former time which made art un- attainable save to the privileged few. are gone not to return, and we need not regret. We shall soon learn tha t the masses are capable of good wholesome music, and that to be popular, music need hot be cratic. Jazz is serving as procuress to those 'so-called' recreations which are run for revenue only But the signs are not wanting that a healthier taste is beginning to assert itself. Music Week in America, is both a sign and a pledge that the debauching of our population through this channel IS drawing to close.

POWER OF MUSIC

Dr. Henry Says Churches Should Aid All Musical
 Organizations

pr. ". G. Henry, pastor of High lands Methodist church, preached Sunday morning on: Music and Morals" using as a text But thou art Holy. O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel" (Psalm xxii:s).
 "Birmingham's first effort to ss- tablish Music Week ought to meet with hearty support from all the re- ligious organizations of the city, as we'll as those who are more specif- larger place in the life of their com munity" he said. Both musical and religious organizations are too prone to lese sight of the reciprocal rela- tions between music and morality
 Dr. Henry said that Hebrew his tory furnishes us with concrete ex- ample of the vital relation which music sustains to moral conduct, and al the same time an illustration of the no less impressive fact that music never comes to her highest achieve ments save in an atmoshphere of fervent moral aspiration. It was not an accident that Jerusalem was for centuries the unparalleled center of musical ands moral progress. The musician found in the religious emo tions of the people his master motifs. while the religious leader found in the music a powerful agent for elevating the moral aspirations and conduct of the people. If we could place ourselves in one of the great assemblies in Jerusalem when so,oo0 trained musicians were rende-- ing those psalms which after thou sands of years are still sung in every nation, we could doubtless feel, too, that God inhabits the praises of Israel.
