could not help but feel the mighty
power of music. Music has the pow
er of lifting us out Of ourselves and
of making us forget Cur immediate

al spell of the music, one could see
vividly the events in Christ's life
which led up to his conviction and
resurrection. We saw Jesus rejected

ated men and hurled through the
"MercifUl Gates of Death" Then
comes the stupendous fact of His
