Tax Commissioner Sackett leports that the now fvBldin of valuation Is working very satisfactory. The deputies who nro listing property seem to take more Interest In their work than the old assessors and all seem to realize that the kucccss of the now system de pends largely on themselves. Mr Sackott says that there Is very little variation Iu the comparative valuations as returned by the different deputies and that when these are adjusted the completed list will bo the most equitable that haa jut been made up. Quo featureof the new assessment Is the fact that Borne of the property that has always been held as exempt from taxation Is now being put on the list. A notable cato Is that , of law libraries which arc being rei turned by the deputies HKo all other prop erty There have been a number of very vigorous protests from lawyers who contend that their libraries are exempt , but when requested to produce the statute by which they are exempted they fall back on the proposition that they have never been taxed xnd know of no reason why they should bu now , The question of taxing property of army officers U a question that li not entirely set tled. It has been customary to exempt thd personal property held by army officers sta tioned here. On one occasion City Attorney Council made a written recommendation to that effect. The tax commissioner has so far been unable to discover any legal war rant for such proceJuro. He will probably ask the attorney general of the United States for enlightenment on the subject before proceeding to add the property In volved to the taxable list. TO A rilII3M > .

The subject of church music Is of un usual Interest just now , because churches are resuming their services and choirs are map ping out tholr winter's work. While the ser mon or service Is the chief feature of any form of Christian worship , yet the music Is its proper setting and deserves to bo worthy of the important place accorded to It. Church muslo would quickly attain a high degree of excellence If organists and singers would make the Idea their own that every element of a church service is an act of worship. It 1s Impossible to fully realize the csaentlal meaning of an act of worship without being filled with awe. The auclent Jews believed themselves actually In the presence of Jehovih and felt the mvsterlous influence of the Holy of Holies to bo a reality. Kcllgloug worship waj no holiday rocreatlon with them , no place to show off either good voices or good clothes. To stand before the "Hullder and Maker" of the universe and claim for an Instant His attention U a piece of unparal leled affrontery unless It Is accompanied with the utmost humility and earnestness In adoration. The idea seems to bo coming into fashion that the church service Is a sort of amuse ment or entertainment , a sort of pious play In a sacred theater. This Is In defiance of all reason and destioys all of that "fitness of things , " without which there can bo no art. Beauty lies In proportion and perfection of relationship. There can be no sacred art without religion and church music that Is not religious Is not artistic. It Is strange that singers do not observe that their sing ing Is much more effective In a church when It avails Itself of the spirit of the place and occasion. liven though a person may not be leliglous , he cannot help feeling the power of religion when It is muslcallj expressed The skilful singer will add to his power as a singer the power of the religious sentiment Involved in his song and with the two workIng - Ing together he will score a real musical and artistic triumph ; and his triumph will bo the powerful expression of the religious Idea , and Its appeal to the religious element iu human nature. The effect of the musical pat t of a servlco depends as much on the words sung a of the music Itself. The aver age hymn book contains hymns of all degrees of merit and the minister often overlooks everything but thu fact that the erie he se lects fits the subject of his sermon. Often ho leaves the selection to the choir leader and ha takes the ono that can bo easiest sung. AH this carelessness militates against the real effect of the music. Imagine the effect of theao Hues If you can : Thero'H a Rose that Is blooming- for you , friend. There's n Hose that Is blooming for me ; Its perfume la pervading the world , friend , Its perfume Is for you and for me. The words of a comic opera are usually better , There used to be a saying In Franco to the effect that words too worthless to read were to bo set to music , but these can hardy bo raid to have been so sot. There Is a. kind of tune put down for them , but it may bo justly Judged by the fact that the word "perfumo" Is accented on the second syllable. The first verse of ono hymn Is : I saw one hanging' ' on a tree , In agony and blood , Who fixed his languid eyes on me , As near the cross 1 htood. It would be hard to prove that the picture drawn would produce any religious feeling In eithw choir or congregation. Contrast with It the following : "Mlno eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. " Or with this. "Glorious things of tlico are spoken , Zlon , city of our God. " Hero Is another that is a burlesque on any rational conception of the future state : Henutlful lioav'n where nil Is light , Iteautlful nng-eU clothed In white , lleuutlful strains that never tire , Dcautlful harps through all the choir. The last line reminds ono of a remark Wagner Is said to have made to Saint Peter , after having heard the heavenly orchestra of harps , which was to the effect that "ono could have no real music without trumpets and trombonci , " There are plenty of fine , soul-stirring hymnfi and It Is unnecessary to select these worthless ones. The music of a church service ought to bo bo expressive as to render the approach tea a worshipful spirit easy and natural. Re ligion and music both appeal to the emo tions and are an expression of them. There Is no real scarcity of good music cither ; only apparent and so because talentless com posers will persist In making 'books and In putting Into them their own "tunes " It Is cheaper to write than to buy and so they vvrlto and the cause of good music , and al.so ) of religion "suffers. Kvcry minister should bo so educated In nuulc that ho could discriminate between the good and the bad and exorcise a bene ficial Inlluenco over the work of choir and organist. Once In a while ono comes acroi.i a minister who thinly he Is a composer ; then may heaven help his poor choir and con gregatlon and give him a harp to proludlzo on as soon aa possible. Out of the millions of men who have lived slues time began , only a very few have been able to compose- music. The expression of a great emotion by means of a mclod ) seems to be almost a dlvlno gift and Is most sparingly granted Makers of books are rarely thus endowed and when one finds a church or Sunday school music- book filled up with the com positions of the author , that U a good book not to buy. " Church music roust go hand In , hand with the cause of religion in order to realize Ha trim mission and attain the greatnc-is possi ble to It In religion It U the soul which sings music U its language , love Its mes sage. A great deal of nonsense Is harbored by the popular mind regarding quarrels among musicians There seems to bu a wonderful amount of pleasure to some people In be Hiving that certain other people are ID trouble with each other.
