rector of the Committee for the Study
of Music In Institutions and crimi-
nologist and sociologist who mas
spent good portion Of his life In
experiments along this line, finds that
musical work with TIE insane and
mentally weak tends TO make the In
mates of such institutions forget their
idiosyncrasies for time at least.
Musical exercises stimulate their men,
tai activities, as well as their moral
reflection. It makes them happier.
Van de Wall tells Of amazing trans
formations in patients brought about
by music.
Music does for the abnormal mind
technically what II does for the nor
NAL" says van de WALL
"Tt dispels the gloom of morbid
isolation and resultant decisions and
Authorizations. 1t creates a direct,
Measurable, congenial and beautiful
environment in tones. 1t stimulates
some of the drowsy patients to vigor-
Gus action and many of the anti-social
individuals to constructive activities.
Even those unfortunates who are too
handicapped mentally and physically
TO fit into the normal scheme of So
cisty, under the influence OF music
quickly drop their pathological moods
and reflections, throw of their eccen-
tic behavior and sing, dance. act and
talk with full concentration of mind"

Dedicate New
Baptist Church
Continued from Page ~

Frank Souder and Mrs. Howard
Raglan, with the Junior and Sen
ior choirs, will provide vocal mu-
sic during the day. The new pipe
organ will be used
Rev. Thomas J. Cross, pastor of
the Chelsea Baptist church, and
Rev. Hinson V. Hewlett, of the
First Baptist church in the resort,
will attend the afternoon services.
The First Baptist church was
formed in 1892, when seven conf
dent members of that denomina
ton organized and held services
in Red Mems Hall. From that
little group has sprung the church
organization which has. been le-
sponsible for the building of the
beautiful new building which is
being used today.
The corner stone of the present
structure was laid in July of last
year. First services were held
last Sunday. The new building is
of Fox croft stone of gothic struc-
ture, and has separate rooms for
the carrying on of department
work.
Services in the new auditorium
were largely attended last Sunday.
All were charmed with the beau
ty of the new building, and de-
lighted with the tones of the new
Kimball organ and chimes. Rev.
Ball delivered two excellent ser
mons, THE Glory of the Temple"
and "The Greatest Word ever
spoken to Man" He declared
that these he wished would be the
keynote of all future sermons to
be preached in that church.
At the evening service he bap-
tized ten candidates into the mem
bership of the church. The sing
ing of the choirs, Junior and Sen
ior. the solos of Mrs. Howard
Raglan, Miss Frances Thomas and
Frank Souder, and the organ
playing by Miss Esther Todd were
all appreciated.

open and description more detailed.

for the half.forgotten reports of the
legal proceedings which restored John
Panton to A legacy and recognized
existence. THE Inverlochtie Tragedy

that evening, while the morning
newspapers might be expected to con-
tain columns of excitement. The mere
presence of the Scotland Yard men
in that remote place was highly sig
nificant. Ii added to the piQuancy of
strange story. in which a fugitive
criminal, pursued by an exceptionally
intelligent dog. was being sought for
among the hills. There was no rival
sensation in the field. Though the
statement would be scoffed at by
every true highlander. millions of peo-
pie were made aware that day that
such places as Mallais and Inver-
ioChtie existed.
