origin ana the ultimate dlVmlty OF
his end.
The Lord has given no indications
of how He expects us to make use
of this gift. 1t is simply there, in
finite in its powers. Time and again
He has permitted revelation Of its
depth when He has bestowed finer
hearing of its melody on some chosen
mortal. Time and again He has DEM
onstrated its resourcefulnes when
human heart has found solace or Joy
through its means. Beyond that, it is
left to our intelligence to give it or
not, a place in our life's planning.
The beautiful message which the
Eastertide brings that life never
ceases but continues on to perfect
development applies also to music.
There is no visualizing the end Of
music not reaching its ultimate limit.
One fact is supremely present as evil
dence of its supernatural relationship,
that there Is no contentment without
perfection. The desire for complete
attainment has harrassed the souls
of the greatest musical writer's, caus-
ing them to give their lifeblood to
the accomplishment of such an aim.
The rescuing of the sinner. we are
told, brings heavenly rejoicing, yet Is
it not possible that pleasure is also
known when a great composer has sue
ceeded in building a ladder of tonal
harmony by which may descend bit
of His kingdom to the heart of man?
Yet none of the adornments with
which Christ has provided the world
or the life of man is meant to lie
fallow. Nor are they to be used only
at stated periods when the soul is
overflowing. In gratitude and recog-
milton, it is our duty to employ music
in our daily routine All music belongs
to every moment of the day. From the
inarticulate murmurs of a babe in
arms to the hymns of our final earthly
ceremony must the thread of music
run through the crowded years. In
happiness and sorrow. in leisure and
in busy moments there is place for
music if we but knew its use. Music
wakes the soul and lifts it high and
wings it with sublime desires and fits
it to bespeak the Deity"

finale Of His life.
OF all the wonderful endowments
with which He has blessed this race
Of mortals, none seems so much in
harmony with both the essence Of
earthly and divine greatness as music.
No matter how slight the musical
knowledge may be, the desire for song
Is universal on this day Of light. Words
are inadequate to express the sense Of
happiness, which, understood or not,
nevertheless prevails in every heart.
The bonds of doubt and the bonds of
Winter are both loosened, the spiri-
tual and the material are freed from
all dross, to be replaced by hope.

juvenation. In moment of such
greatness, when the two forces Of

only means of flttingly giving voice

Only through music can the spirit of

5 STATE FIGHTS
u. 5. POWER
International News Service


The Supreme Court today pre-
pared to hear an attack on ex-
tension of Federal power by the
progressive State of Wisconsin.
The issue is whether or not pro-
visions Of the Federal housing act
permitting State building and
loan associations to convert them
selves into Federal institutions
without State consent, is consti'
tutional.
Representatives of the Wiscon.
sin banking department chat
lenged the authority of the Fed
eral Government to override its
longtime plan for regulation of
the activities of State building
and loan associations.
The case arose when three
building and loan associations
decided to drop their Wisconsin
charters and become Federal saw
1ngS and loan associations.
The States banking department
declared that no change in their
operations could be made without
Its consent.
Entering the case as a friend
of the court, Solicitor General
Stanley Reed asserted that the
Federal Government can override
State law in permitting the con-
version.
Power was claimed because the
Federal savings and loan aSsocia-
tions are a part of the fiscal
system of the nation and under
the general welfare clause Of the
constitution.
