Should Have Grateful Ap
preciation and Support of
Every Man and Woman
, (By L. D. Case) '
Why did Darwin say that if he
could" live his life over again he
would listen to some good music at
least once every week?
Because, as he himself suggests,
to develop a love of music is to add
to cue's happiness. Good music
.lifts the'soul for the time being above
the daily routine and cares of life,
and sets it in heavenly places. Its
strains refresh the soul as a draught
from a cool spring refreshes the
thirsty body, ami keep ulive the
sense of beauty which God has im
planted in every human being. , I'u
der its magic influence thoughts and
emotions are stirred that give the
. responsive and understanding heart
a. foretaste of what must be the hap
piness of heaven. Hichter, speak
ing of music, says, "Away, away,
thefu speaki 't to me of things that
in all my ageless life I have not
found, ami shall not find." Away
with Ric liter ! Music, of the better
kind, carries the lover of it away
until the things he most deeply de
sires are his.
And how" restful is music! Who
does not understand why our soldier
boys, fresh from the strain of the
trenches, turned for solace to music?
On the eve of Austerlitz, Napoleon
pitched his tent among his grenadiers
and sang with them till late at
night. How well he knew his men!
How well he understood the balm
of music! Its peace - breathing
power quieted the hearts of his sol
diers till they slept the sleep of tired
( children, untroubled by dreams of
' the grim realities of their daily lives.
,As the cool hand to the fevered
'brow, so is music to the weary mind
and .body.
And how great is its power of
conjuring up memories! Thrice,
blessed is the man who has mines
of beautiful memories. He whose
' mind Is" stored- with -treasured vis--ions
of the past is richer than many I
who dwell in marble halls. This is '
the appeal and the power of uld
songs, this the explanation of their
immortality. Their notes bring rec
ollections of the dear, dead past.
Their magic power opens the treas
ure houses of tender and inspiring
memories. Such songs transport us
over the years, bridge the chasm be
tween the present and the past, and
we live again the beautiful life of
yesteryears, and are again com
panioned by loved ones who no
longer wa'.k with us except in our
dreams. ' j
The inspiring power of music lias
never yet been over-estimated.
"Serious nations," says Curlyle.
"have prized sun;; and music as the!
highest, au a vehicle for worship, for
prophecy, and whatever in them was
divine." This is music's crowning
glory. "Music," exclaimed Con
fucius, "?acred tongue of God, I heHr
and I come!" It speaks a universal
language, and, if good music, ap
peals to the divinest emotions com
mon to all humanity. It is one of
the mediums through which truth,
beauty and God are manifest to
men. Music, like all other forms of
art, that is separated from life, from '
truth, gncdness and beauty, blights
and blasts the souls of men. Such
music becomes "procuress for the
lords of hell." ;
There is a world-wide need of the
best music. Kvery community)
needs it. You reader, whosoever you
may be, ncWl it. Y'our neighbor
needs it. And the Elizabeth City
Choral Society, which is making It
possible for the citizens of this com-,
mjinity to hear good music, has
earned and should hare the grateful 1
appreciation and support of ciery
man. woman and child. !
"The Holy City" will berendered

school auditorium, accompanied by
