ERVANT and master. am I, servant 'of those i QQQVQ4, '55 dead, -and master ot those living. lhrough i me spirits immortal speak the IDCSSPILTC that I makes the world weep, and laugh, and won- der and worship. T l tell the story ot love, the story ot hate, the story that saves and the story that clamns. I am the incense upon which prayers float to Heaven. I am the smoke which palls over the field of battle Where men lie dying with me 011 i their lips. I am close to the marriage altar, and when the graves open I stand nearby. I call the wanderer home, I rescue the soul from the depths, I open the lips of lovers, and through me I the dead whisper to the living. I One- I serve as I serve allg and the king I make my slave as ii easily as I subject his slave. I speak through the birds of the i air, the insects of the field, the crash of waters on rock-ribbed i shores, the sighing of wind in the trees, and I am even heard by the soul that knows me in the elatter of wheels on city I streets. I know no brother, yet all men are my brothers, I am the 5 father of the best that is in them, and they are fathers of E the best that is in meg 'Ii am of them, and they are of me. 2 For I am the instrument of God.

Ayrxr., I Y A 3 I I I . I MUSIC L Music drives away the dust. of everyday life. Music is life-it is the sweet I lullaby at the cradle and the l1ym11 of God's eternal peace at the grave, says I the poet. Ruskin includes music in the four necessities of life. Since the beginning f of time, the soul has found expression through the human voice. I At Dana College we have a department of music worthy of mention. Mrs. I Dale has been thorough in teaching technique and has shown the possibilities for 5 expression in the human voice, a most glorious gift of God. Mr. Swihart has been L unusually successful in producing results in his violin pupils. He has demonstrated I that there is no instrument, with the exception oi the human voice, that responds so readily to the soul of the musician, nor is there any more capable of expression. - Technique before Art is a. great lesson to be learned in the study of piano. I To be able to execute a composition the technique must be mastered, but to in- terpret it well, expression and feeling are required. This Prof. Nielsen is proving : through the admirable progress of his young' students. I Undoubtedly through the Girl's Glee Club, the A Capella Choir, and the i Orchestra has Prof. Nielsen shown his greatest ability as a musician. In training i the singers and giving to the liearers a message from the old masters, he has , rendered our people a most memorable service. I We have a most sacred treasure in our old Chorales, and we should love and 2 guard them accordingly. In learning to appreciate and to love these, we are aiding in uniting our young people in n. closer friendship, which will he a bond of D1'O- I tection to the future of our Church.
