The word iIusic is derived fromi a Greek term. t vhich includes all the learing of the r duses. Of all the fine ar n. music is he most comprehensive. The majes- n y of the architect. the pictures of the s ttist. the rhythm of the poet and the r hemes of all these belong to the mu- h ician, whether lie sits at the instru- e nent or pours out his soul in vocal t, nelodies. The fable tells that Mer ury stretched strings of Cried skin L oross a shell. and, striking thenm with i, is fingers. invented the lyre. The low as a musical instrument was prob tbly first used by the warrior, who. y s he described his ::uccesses in i'at- C le. twanged the string c" his bQw. t was later discovered that the bow, hen drawn across certain hollow ob ects. produced pleasing sounds hence the lute and the violin. Music tas teei called the universal langu age' md truly it is a means of connuIm 'ation between all souls. wtatever -lime may have given them birt-. It s the most responsive of all the arts -the most human. It more nearly reaties and sees and fecis. It pos esses all the v:y inr- iles of th e oul. The inusic of the sirei would llure Ulysses to his death and tie t nootloous tones of the bell buoy di ect the imperi!vd mariner to safety. .umultuous music is the completest xpression of happy souls on festal ays- r1nd tender. sombre strains in erpret the language of sad hearts rhea nantion monrins for its martyred eroes.

There is .an inexpressible omething ill the heart of man which eks to define itself in speech. but, ailing in this, music flies to his re- r ef and in Imelcdy he pours out his un risoned soul. Music is the language .i f the over-soul: it is the soul pro anging. or projecting itself. The high- ) st music cannot bue expressed in ordsm. This is the explanation of the ngel's advent antheml and of all mu- I ic in worship. The deeper the sou! ife the more is ono conscious of feel as beyond the limitations of articu atte utterance.

Without that echo can's soul is a cavernot's abyss, tilled ith specters of despalir. Music is a gift of God. Like all the ciences, it is a radiation of divine ruth. Pythagoras taughlt a close af-e inity betweenl nusic and alstrounmy. i was right so far as he went, but nusic leads men up to the perpetual broe of glory, of which stars and ~ 'onstelationms are hut glittering sin illations.
