And then came the words from the
singer. 81 have seen the wooden

John Mccormack sang this song

years ago. Men and women realized
a great sermon Of peace In the song
John Mccormack suddenly became
more than the greatest tenor, he be-
came a leader Of peace and thanks
giving.
-aemed to me, following the DEM
onstraiion which followed this num-
Der, that Mccormack had reached the
peak Of his concert. But something
else happened.
Mother Song Nearly Brought
the Audience to Its Feet
At the end OF the first group Of
songs in the second part Of HIS pro-
pram, Mccormack turned his back
on the audience and faced the hun
6reds Of people seated on the stage.
Edwin Schneider, pianist, struck the
notes which announced that Mother
Machree" was to be the encore.
AS the marvellous voice CT the singer
continued with this mother song the
audience became as If only one per-
son was present instead of thousands.
Mother love held the center OF the
stage. One aged couple sitting near
me lovingly clasped their hands to-
gether. Many of the women seated
on the stage could not keep back the
tears.
The song was over. Mccormack
stood near the Steinway piano. He
bowed his head The hands Of
Schneider left the instrument. A
hush was over the audience.
Then some one clapped their hands.
Panic Of applause followed. People
even cheered, and that very seldom
happens in an Indianapolis theater.
The great moment had arrived.
Never haze I heard such a demon
stTation which the thousands accord
ed Mccormack after this number. He
bowed time and time again Then
h gave another encore.

takes practically no more labor to

The soil must be prepared just the
