IMMENSE POWER OF MUSIC
There is Almost No Limit to its In.
fluence on the Human
Soul.

Music! The dictionary defines it
as THE science of harmonious sounds ;
melody or harmony" The tide Of bat
tie has been turned by the Science
of harmonious sounds" and to hear
some old familiar melody has often
resulted in soothing the troubled
heart.
Music can call the patriot to the
defense of his country; can enthuse
anew the worshiper at the shrine;
can call the lover to his beloved
can fan into flame the dying embers
OF the fire in the enthusiasts breast.
There Is no limit to the power Of
music over the human soul
The world needs muSic-music of
the soul music of the heart; music
of the voice; music of the spirit.
There are people who can't sing, yet
they can be moved to tears or laughter
by the words of some simple melody.
Some people sing their way through
life, and such people have a wonder
full influence on the lives of others.
Music can have an almost magical
effect in producing the desired re-
suits. In fact, the Imagination fails
to picture world without music.
