Object of the Convention to
Arouse Interest in Music.
ESSAY BY MISS JARRETT.
Exerclsrs Consisted of Singing and a Fine
Kssay by Miss Mazie Jarrett Which
Speaks Eloquently of the Wonderful
Powers of .Music—Local Items.
(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
MEzf.ll, May 18—The singing con
vention convened at New Pleasant
on Saturday and Sunday the 4th and
5th of May. This convention is call
ed the Interdenominational Singing
Convention. The object is to arouso
an interest in music. There was a
large attendance on Sunday. Prof.
W. fi. Blanton was tho organist. We
hud some lino singing on Sunday and
a fine essay by Miss Muzie Jarrett.
There is a good Sunday School at
New Pleasant, the old and the young
turning out.
State Line church has an organ ;
the money was gotten up by tbo
young ladies of the church and Sun
day School. The spirit of music is
rising higher and higher every
year in this country.
The officers of the convention are:
D. 8. Scruggs, President; M. B.
Scruggs, Vice-President; B. Ra},
Secretary and Treasurer.
The next convention will meet with
Mount Olive church on Saturday be
fore the first Sunday in October,
1901.
I hope other communities will see
the interest in music and do some
thing fjr the advancement of it.
The people have been replanting
their corn which was washed out bj
the heavy rains. The fruit crop is
good in this section. The cotton
seed that was planted just after the
rains is up in a fine stand. Wheat
looks promising now and if nothing
happens it will be good.
G. W. Eaker has a new improved
Gieser thresher. Eaker is one of the
best threshermen known in the upper
section of the county.
Are we going to let the Battle
Ground Memorial Association go
down? Let us rally to the front.
The Sunday School at State Line
has new singing books, The Gospel
Voices, No. 1 and No. 2. Music is con
ducted by Prof. B. Ray, who under
stands his business and calling.
Rev. C. F. Felmet filled his regular
appointment at New Pleasant. We
have a fine Sunday school there, also.
M. 15. s.
MUh Jarrett’u Eusay.
The true child of God ever keeps
before hie mind three great points—
truth, duty and interest. These three
points are so olosely connected that
he cannot see any one of them with
out at the same time seeing the
other two.
To be impressed witl^truth, to bo
animated to duty, to be awakened to
interest, is the great sum of epiritufd
blessings attainable in public wor
ship. it is to this end we engage in
the three leading exercises of the
house of God, viz: Preaching, prayer
and singing. The minister of the
gospel may preach in such away that
“Truths divine come mended from
his tongue;" he may pray with the
fervor of an Apollos; but if the songs
of Zion are left of! we feel that ah in
dispensable part of the service has
been omitted. Can this feeling be

In sacred music
thought and feeling
Music is the language of the
tions, as wordS are of thought.
"Teaching and admonishing one
another in psalms and hymns, and
spiritual songs, singing and making
melody in yonr hearts to the Lord."
Sing praise unto God:
“81 iqf till you feel your heart
AscendliiK with tuo t.OPKue;
Sing till tbc love of uln depart
And grace Inspire your song.”
When do we gaze most rapturously
through epeping vistas into heaven?
When do our spirit^ most ardently
long to rise and dwell on e^h no
more? When do the soqgs of the re
deemed most joyfully thrill our
hearts? Every true Christian expe
rience answers as if with ona voice;
When we are imitating tboee blissful
■trains of adoration, love and praise
to God.
The utility of saevad jnusic in
awakening and strengthening our de
votional affections, cannot bo reveal
ed until the final day, when Jesus
shall sit upon His throne to judge
tho world.
The first duet I know anything of
was given by Paul and Silas when
they sang praises to God and the
prisoners heard them.
When we visit distant branche* of
the church and look In vain for one
familiar face, how comfortable we are
made and what a home feeling vo en-
joy and what a deep sympathy springs
up in our hearts for tinse around us
when we join with them in singing
some good old tune which we learned
in our heart’s first love. 4.n^ we go
away saying: Oh, how my soul was
lifted up in the presence of God
while they Tfpre singing that first
hymn 1 I never had epeb rapturous
views of Jesus Christ as my savloa oo
when they were singing that last
doxologyj »
What is the abief value ot music?
Can you conceive what a graveyard
of a place this world would be with*
out music? What darkness and
gloom; it would be sad Indeed! But
music in ail its grades, tones and
blanches of power, lights up tftp
world with joy, Chi, ‘
street and school, and parents at
home are made to feel its inspiring
touch. The church is helped on in
its work of blessing and saving by
music. It could not do without it.
The sick room is often changed by it
from a place of pain to one of joy,
and from sorrow to peace Old »i;e
is often soothed and inspired with
hope by this powerful influence. By
it Sunday School work is pushed on
and made a lasting benefit to the
world. And very natL.e, with man,
rocks and rills, rivers and ocean, trees
and mountains are made to resound
with high notes of praise. Indeed it
would be hard to tell in which way,
place or state music hud no value.
But none can appreciate the glory of
song save those who sing with the
spirit, k whoso souls are tuned to
praise.
Paul says, “Sing with the spirit
and the understanding also."
Those who can sing must throw
their souls into the exercise, and
those whu cannot sing must learn
how, and it shall be heart to heart,
voice to voice, hymn to hymn, an
them to anthem, and music shall
swell jubilant with thanksgiving and
tremulous with pardon.
When the poet wrote, “Praise God
from whom all blessings How," he
was surely in the spirit.and resigned
to tho will of God and felt the neces
sity of praising Him.
No young lady can bo proficient as
she ought to be for blessing the world
until she has knowledge of music.
This should be an important factor
in her education. Some argue that
they have no talent or taste for it,
while still others think they cannot
bear tho expense, and a greater num
ber fail to become proficient from the
lack of perseverance. None of.
these are good reasons. Talent and
taste can be created to a great extent
by application, and Ihe facilities of a
musical education are now such as to
be within the reach ofjjeven the
poorest.
Tho home, the church, and the so
ciety of every community demand
the development of young ladies in
music. And such is its power and
importance that God in His holy
word has made praise more prominent
than any other act of worship.
I urge that you always have sing
ing at family worship; it always
seems incomplete to me without this.
It should be as much a part of wor
ship in the home as in the church.
The children should ba taught to
sing at the home altar as much as in
the Sunday School, and where there
are no children, what could be more
sweet for husband and wife and
friends than song and prayer together?
It would lift them to the very throne
of God and of heaven in the purest
love.
Sacred songs should be employed
in the home, to a large extent at
least, enough to make such good
and divine impressions us ought to
b) made. It is true that the nature
and surroundings of many homes
seem to demand artistic music, and
this or none at all. But to attempt
to fully satisfy a home with this
would be like trying to make a
heaven without a Divinity. There
is a something in tho moral nature
of every heart that demands and
gently responds to tho hallowec
calls of holy song. This is truf
whether confessed by the recipiei
or not. And there is no place
this like home. I say then
music to the heart as well as toi
car. And while I would,
instrumental (and artistic) mi
the home, I would hav(
balance of holy song; am
there will go out astreaf

God will be our occupation in heaven
through eternity; wo won’t need any
throne of grace there, hut all will be
praise, singing and shouting hallelujah
to God for redemtion and deliverance.
W« will always praise God tUt we
have been redeemed from sin and
njade heirs to God and joint heiia
best efforts to make our calling
sure—laying asl lo all doubt and
putting on instead the garments of
praise.
I have thought that the reason
why wo don’t grow in the divine life,
is because we don’t praise God for
the graces already obtained. Many
forget that “every good and perfect
gift is from above.” Multitudes
never render thanks unto God for all
his kindness into them.' Let us all
try to be better Christians and live
nearer to God. I am fully persuaded
that we can receive a blessing from
him every time we go to him, if we
will throw self away and come to
him in the spirit.
Thanksgiving should 4)6 as much
a p-.it of our prayers as petition.
God always blesses us in our duty
whether in pra er or praise, in speak
ing or in singing.
Thanks be unto his holy name for
his love and mercy. Show forth his
salvation from day to day. Declare
his glory among the heathens, his
wonders among all people. And
blessed be his glorious name for
ever; and let tho whole earth be
filled with his glory; Amen

Why l* Senator McLaurln Condemned?
(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
It has been the belief for a long
time that South Carolina is the fore
most State of the South, but owing
to sectional feelings, connecter?"
party prejudices, there baS, iiLdl
recently, been no proof of this fact,
politically. Tho people ^)f South
Carolina, being a submiltok o and
peace loving people, and unwilling to
do anything against the will of the
more prominent in politics for fear of
being in the wrong, have, from the
first foundation, been led and pulled
around by. party leaders, and calam
ity howlers, until they have attained,
as a large part of their natural life,
tho idea that no opinion but the
former one could be tolerated for one
moment. Our most prominent poli
ticians for years back have, you
might safely say, had the country
their own way, and most of them
since the War of the Rebellion have
maintained their prominence, simply
by repeating the same old story of
the sorrow, the blood, and the de
struction of the South at the hands
of our Northern brethren. It is un
necessary to state that such speeches
from such demagogues received over
whelming ovations from the old Con
federate veterans, who, fresh from
the battlefields, with the heat still
crowning the brow that shows evi
dence of hardships and miseries, and
who remember with bitter feelings
the struggle with their former foes,
but who now admit their erre

Then, is it not the same way with
a man who is to help make the laws
of our lard? Is he not supposed to
be a man capable of thinking and
knowing for himself, and to act ac
cordingly? The people, true enough,
elect such men to make laws for their
betterment, but they expect a man
sent there for that purpose to know
better what they need than they
(as a whole) can see themselves.
He is in a position to hear intelligent
people, representing the people from
all over the Union, discuss the ad
vantages and dis-advantages of our
country; the good and the evil; cer

this to be true.
