Caps and belles [serial] . some chaos in the formof Christ the Son of God, music began its real life as an art. Though it had existed in the hearts ofmen from the beginning, as a sweet inner voice, it asserted itself as something apart soon after thebirth of Christ. Its early life was nurtured close beside the altar of the great God until it became a 54 power. All along its wonderful history we find men chosen of God to perpetuate His work, such asMonteverde, who originated the modern system of harmony; Bach, who has brought counterpointand part writing to perfection and whose wonderful fugues could never be surpassed; and that greatone who is all in all to the musical mind—Beethoven. Many, many others have labored in the causeof music to bring it to perfection and when all this has been done we content ourselves with a crustof knowledge while a feast awaits us, a feast of knowledge which when partaken of would open oureyes to the realization and appreciation of the best offered to us by the hand of the 55 TOY SYMPHONY. A Restful Calm. Pisces. CHARLES R. FISHER.
