And picks up wbere it left off, presumably with An of this has happened in less than s "entury. When Colonel Drake sank the first well, a new and brilliant chapter in the history of the world was started. We are a long way from the end of it. EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Rer. Herbert Spaugh, D. D. The man is more important than the machine. We seem to forget that in a machine age, when emphasis is so much upon physical facilities and equipment. Concerning a famous early educator, it was said that "Mark Hopkins on one end of a log and a student on the other made a college." Now the emphasis is upon the building and equipment in which the teach ing is to be done. So it is with musical in struments. 1 have seen many a church buy an expensive organ, and then put a dis interested organist to playing it. The cry of many churches today is for larger and more completely equipped educational j buildings, which the? greatest need is for ' consecrated Sunday School teachers. The same thought is expressed in those lovely lines by an unknown poet, "The Old Vio lin." I give them at the request of a read- j er, who heard the poem dramatized some time ago on a radio program, but couldn't locate the poem: "The Old Violin" "Twas battered and scarred, and the auctioneer thought it scarcely worth his while To waste his time on the old violin, But he held it up with a smile, 'What am I bid, good folks,' he said 'Who'll start the bidding for me? A dollar, a dollar! Now two, only two; Two dollars, and who'll make it three? Three dollars once, three dollars twice; Going for three?' But No! From the room far back a gray-haired man Came forward and picked up the bow. Then wiping the dust from the old violin And tightening up the strings, He played a melody pure and sweet, As sweet as an angel sings. "The music ceased, and the auctioneer With a voice that was quiet and low Said, 'What am I bid for the old violin?' And he held it up with the bow. 'A thousand dollars, and who'll make it two? "Two thousand, and who'll make it three? Three thousand once, three thousand twice; And going and going and gone,' said he. The people cheered, but some of them said, 'We don't quite understand What changed it's worth?' Swift came the reply, 'The touch of a master's hand.' "And many a man with life out of tune, And battered and torn with sin, Is auction ed cheap to a thoughtless crowd Much like the old violin. A mess of pottage, a glass of wine, A game and he travels on. He's going once! and he's going twice! He's going and almost gone. But the Master comes and the foolish crowd Never can quite understand?The worth of a soul, and the change that's wrought By the TOUCH OF THE MASTER'S HAND." * The touch of the master musician, mas ter craftsman, master performer is far more important than the instrument on which he performs. Bach composed his great organ works on instruments which amateur organists today would say were impossible. So Almighty God as Master Craftsman, makes old and battered lives into new and beautiful ones, and as Mas ter Performer plays sweet music upon them.
