Thank T iuusiu miis uv jhuc m wcanui: auu cuoiaiwiuc wjo ,iuitiwvu tu Lodges.; - Many -persons church as much to listen ai at the soft and mellifluous strains oi music as to hear able and eloquent sermons. Music exerts . & similar influence over the members - of the Lodges. It is an agent we cannot welt dis pense withj rievertheletss very little attention is . given to it at least this is the case in many of .the Lodges. If music has charms to soothe the savaore breast, it must surely possess cnarms to awract ana delight fair women and brave men. But we do not sufficiently appre- cate its power. , Every Lodge should have a good organ, and, a fall, active" working choir. There is scarcely, a Lodge too poor to pur chase an organ, and there, is no Ledge so small but that it contains material in it to constitute a choir. Every Lodge has a Sankey in it, who should superintend the music. We have one in ours. Debates assist materially towards l,Jn!nUn tW. mnmUniu.
