MUSIC by the Lord and , jnd for the giving of praise and glory to His Creator. Theoretically speaking, music is the art cf employi they will assume the pleasing charoct Hon of music requires not only physical activity and application, but also mental op. to the impetus ond challenge of inspiration. It is rightly said that mu: iage of the soul. Before music can accomplish its highest and most noble purpose, there should be within the heart cf the producer or musician the desire and ability to gloi th his music. King David in the Bible to as the Psalmist, 01 .. - acred song ministry of music both instrumental and vocal, was motivated by the love of God in his heart In relation to religious activity, music provides a means of expression whereby God praised and the hearers edified. In Colo in believers are instructed to teach and admonish one another in psalms, and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in their hearts to the Lord. Furthermore, the use of instrumental music in religious worship is scripturally substan- tiated. The 150th Psalm exhorts to praise God with the sound of the trumpet, the psaltery, harp, timbrel, stringed instruments and organ. The theme of the psalm culminates in the words of the last verse: Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. As a part of the Bible School curriculum, music is indispensable. The type of music studied is, of course, sacred. This injects into the student body an inspiration given by no other subject. The music department has for its objective the discovery of new talent and the de- veloping of individual capabilities. The student who aspires to music and uses his musical talent for the glory of God, has an added potentiality or power, the result of which will be unlimited in his future ministry. All things are song; it seems somehow The very central essence of us — song! t As if all the rest were but wrappings and hulls; See deep enough and you see musically The very heart of nature — being everywhere In music, if you can only reach it. — Thcmas Carlyle DUANE GRAF, First Year Class n w. 6ect . v
