BBQ Music a Moral Help A word about the meaning of Music in a moral sense. lt is a human help with power to comfort, lt even hath charms to soothe the savage heart. lt is .t numan help to safeguard the soul. for it fills the fancy with fair bright forms: it attunes the ear to sounds that are sweet. and the heart to impulses that are innocent. lt is a human help to elevate character. for it lifts the listener to an ideal world. where he forgets all that is base or brutal in the serene atmosphere of refinsd art and pure delight. Music is more than a human help. lt is a divine call. liirst to holv psace Calling to mind the sacred words: Hwhensoever the evil spirit was upon Saul. David took his harp. and played with his hand, and Saul was refreslffd, and was better, for the evil spirit departed from him. Music is a call to Paradise lt is the only human art attributed to the Angels. We do not think of them as artists of dead form on colored canvas or sculptured stone. But we do think of them as artists in living expression. Therefore. when the splendor of the truth they utter flows in ecstatic strain and when the harmonious raptures of their soul-strings throb in the same seraphic love. we say that the angels sing. The different music groups. viz. the piano students, Choral Club and the Orchestra have entertained their parents and friends at the Academy during the year and at St, l.eo's School in the City. Now thrv are busy with final recitals for the close of school. Page Thirty-Three
