There nppears a. ino't splundld artlole
Id tho New Muslo Ilmiw for December,
entitled "Muslo nn un Aid to Religion,1'
by Peicr Christian I.utkln. It says Hi
part.
"Tho primary quality of music Is an
intensifying of tho emotions. Through
-.tho appeal of melody, harmony and
' rhythm our feelings can be greatly af
fected and through their combined In
fluence our moods may be Immensely -Increased
In Intensity. It Is this direct ap
peal to the emotions that given to muslo
tho Important place it occupies hk nn nld
to religion, for religion Is also largely
concerned with the emotions. S,
H is, perhujis, hot too mueirMn say
fthat the depth of our religious Ufa Is apt
to be lu direct ratio to our sensibility to
.emotion and any agency which tends to
Increaso this susceptibility should be care
"fully cultivated. Vt rocogniro In paint
Vine, statuary, architecture nnd decorating
the appeal to tho emotions through the
eye, but this appeal to tho averago human
Wing is by no means ns powerful as tlio
appeal of muslo through the ear,
'It Is not through any moral quality
"Itself that mutdo Intensifies the religious
.life, although that Is the popular Idea.
VThere Is good musio and bad muslo from
3the nrtlstlo point of view. Thoro Is gay
muslc and serious music; there Is frivolous
txnuslo and earnest music, and there la
"iensubus muslo and spiritual muslo, but
;whethor the hearing of abstract music
jian cither incite, to vice or virtue Is a
Vinoot question, which tho psychologists
mtv disposed to answer In tho negative
V "Tho moment muslo Is definitely con
nected with ideas It may acquire moral
Significance. The reason that the
new qualities that are th" essential
tilbute of jill grent composers
"The value and efficacy of music as an'
aid to i elision is largely ilcpcndrnt upon
tho following threo factors.
J. The nature or finality of the
music ns such.
"2. The manner of performance.
"S. The emotional response on tho part j
of the worshiper, I
"Should not tho music conform to the i
same high standards sot by, tho Kpjscopal i
liturgy in the purity of diction? 'Fortu
nately, there Is a. considerable supply of
church tnuslo that Is comparatively sim
ple and still not lacking in dignity ami
worth. It Is much hotter to havo slmnlo
muslo well performed than to havo dif
flcult muslo struggled through with or
Ineffectively given. I
"Mko tho religious Instinct, artistic '
appreciation Is fundamentally a natural
gift, nnd many a man of humble birth nml
restricted advantages has strong within
him tho germ of thn lovo of tho beauti
ful, which responds most readily the mo
ment It Is offered opportunity for devel
opment. ! firmly heiievo that In
tho course of a revival of tho Moody and
Hankcy typo, a really great artist could
make more effect with Mendolsshon's
"For tho Lrd Is Mindful of His Own"
than could possibly bn inado by tho re
vival songs manufactured for the oc
carton, provided that It be sung nt least
threo times during tho meeting. It might
fall the first time, but If repeated at tho
paychologlcal moments. J am convinced
tnat it would profoundly movo tho most
miscellaneous one could gather together.
Tho musical appreciation ot peouto m
general Is not always crude because It
is not in evidence upon Uio single hearing
of an art work. Of course, revivalists tiliu
to maKo immediate anneal and trust tn
tho catchy Jlnglound cheap nentlmont of
their pongs to accomplish this result.
They succeed temporarily, but It Is an
open question whether the superficial and
phormereol chnracter of tho means em.
ployed does not promoto religious foellne
of a similar sort, and whether n atrommr
ana tnor wholesome diet would not pro-
auce a moro substantial religious nrod.

World Famous 'Cellist.
Thus far Mr. r.utkln's remarks would
apply In most particulars to music lu gen-
erai. x tnink often that while muslclann
uro discussing tho demoralizing effect of
certain hinds.of muslo. it-Is the connoc
sV,Z Z ,7 P . BIH1 wc,ftr.fn with words, that really ha. tho strong
UnUKiO os distinct entitles js practically uTinfluencc. M.r. I.utkln then takes up
matter of text association. If wo examine
Jhto tho facts moro closely wo will dis
cover that it Is not ji question of sacred
ai" secular, but of sorlousness and light
beartodntss, qualities which muslo pos
posses variously In n marked degree. For
example, so-called hncrcd muslo could bo
irt to secular words ot a serious nature
;and lose nothing, cither In effectiveness
St; appropriateness. And the contrary
Jirocess Is equally true, provided that it
has the qualities of sincerity and serlous-
music moro definitely in connection with
tne churchtself, pointing out how many
other hand tho work of a 'composer must
go through before It can be presented.
Tho difficulties in this aril touched upon,
the musical ability of the choirmaster,
Ms ability to express himself, the experi
ence nnd interest of tho choir, colds, un
expected absences. Indisposition, ote.., all
that nro llablo to mar the Performance.
Ho closes by stating that tho churoh
really needs more musicians who aro
churohmon and points out that tho troublo'
In tho most of tho rcllgous muslo written
today is that the starting point Is not a
deslro to tnoko tho teachings of religion
moro potent through the aid of muplc, but
to cotnposo an art product.
Soverat of tho Now York critics ax
press themselves as a llttlo disappointed
In tho much heralded Mr. Hutfo, tho
great burltuno of tho Chicago Opera com
pany. Although all conccda that ho Is it
great artist, some, doploro his 'lack of
shading, some tho coldness of his low
toncM, some his acting, and somo tho
metalllo quality of his voice. They spenk
of him us extraordinary and sensational.
and although tliu uudlonco gave him nn
ovation u fuw ot thoso that ought to
know aro loth to coucedo him first place.
Miss Alice Nielsen, who appears tn con
cert nt the First Methodist church on tho
evening of Thursday, December 12, Is
nn American by birth. Sho first saw
tho light of day at Nashvlllo and much
of her early singing was douo tn church
choir In Kansas - City.
Mr. Cecil Derryman, who elves a piano
recital at the First Baptist church Thurs
day nlgh't.v askisted by Mr. Frank Mach
and Madnme Uorglum, has Included sev
'eral'iioycltlcs (to Omaha people, at least).
A sonata In ,TJf flat major by Schytto
opens the program. A group Including
compositions by MacDowell, Debussy and
Schlozcr prefcedes Mr. IJcrryman's own
composition, sonnto In D minor for violin
and piano, Mr. Mach will play an a and
b number lu the latter pari of the pro
gram. Besides other selections from
Itavel Ilubenstcln and an etude caprice
by Mr. Berrjnian. the iHnnlt will con
clude with nn rl-ntAl fantasia entitled
Islamey", by llalaklrew.
Miss I.ueila Allen 8.ve a pupils' recital
Saturday afternoon In violin and plans
nnothcr one for the parly jxirt of
Junuary.
Here Is what the London Dally Chron
icle has to pay after hearing an "Amer
ican octette" nt ono ot tho music halls,
"ltagtlmc is the musical Ideal of the
American nation. It- Is hustle set to
muilc. energy chained to rhythm. This
ragllmi) Is a storm, a cyclone, a rating
tide, and also it Is a shrouding mist, blot
ting out perspective."
It Is said that lu london street boys
and noblo danes tnltoh with the j'-rklness
of tho "Hitcliy Koo," prance with tho
stimulant of "Waiting for the Itobnrt
K I.ce,'' and wrltho with thn squirmy
suggestions of "Mellow Melody."
"V t
Isn't a "rag" a good nama for a nlru
of muelr that really Is one in compar
Isou with the finely woven harmonic
fabrics that exist?
It was a great surprise to lrm th
other day that nn entire orchestra In
Chicago had struck becauso one of the
Violinists was ploying on a Cremmia (h.t
did not havo a union label In It. Had
it been tho cymbal players nnd thn
drummers alone, wo would not have
wemdercd. One would cxnt'ct nil thn fid.
dlcrs to display fidelity to their fellow
Violinist, but If they did, they were just
stringing him. As for tho rest nf thn
orchestra, a lot of them have motives
that are always bass, and horn nlaver.
and flutists always do a lot of blowing
about things anyway.

"1913 HUDSON COUPE"
Luxury, Beauty, Comfort and Quality without Extravagance. Finest
Limousine and Coupe Bodies on Chassis Designed by 48 Master Builders.
A Four the "37, " and the "54" a Six.
If you seek beauty, comfort, quality, rich
ness and appointment, and do not especially
care for exclustvcness which is obtained only
by paying a high price, these cars will appeal
to you.
The bodies were designed by men who have
done similar work for builders of the most
expensive cars. No expense has been spared in
material or workmanship. By larger produc
tion than is possible with cars of much higher
price, we are able to include all in appointment,
in finish, completeness and other essentials
that is to 6e had in any closed body automobile.
Designed by 48 Leading Engineers
HUDSONcars are designed and built by
48 expert engineers, at the head of which body
is Howard E. Coffin, America's leading auto
mobile designer.
These men were gathered from 97 leading
factories of Europe and America and have
had a hand in building more than 200,000
motor cars.
They have contributed.all their experience
and skill to the production of the HUDSON
"37" and the "54" HUDSON. These cars
are the best they know.
Just as. much skill and experience is incor
porated into the building of tie bodies.
The imagination of the most fastidious
buyer can suggest nothing in appointment,
tone, character or completeness that these
cars do not possess. Every thought has been
anticipated. In choosing a HUDSON the
only detail that you do not get which Is found
in some other cars, is that uncertain quality
which cost alone suggests but does not assure.
