The Solace
of Sacred Music
In these J.iys ot a world at war, the breaking of
family ties, thoae instincts strongest of all that govern
the human race, he who can neglect the solace of
sacred music is unheeding and soulless indeed. The
mighty oratorios with their inspiring solos, and their
booming choruses; the magnificent anthems, "The
Palms," "The Holy City" and a host of others;
the quartet renditions of the familiar old hymns,
"Jesus Lover of My Soul," "Throw Out the Lite
Line" or "Nearer My God to Thee," who is there
who can feci himself so self-sufficient as to be in-
Jependent of their comfort and their inspiration.
The great, the wonderful realm
of religious music will open wide
its y;atcs through the magic of
me NEW EDISON
"Ihe I'hoHogruph with a Saul"
I: will Ro*Crcatc tor you in a moment
the c.ilnmtss, the quiet, the very spirit of
th.it most inspired of phrases " Peace on
earth, j;onJ will toward men"—the soul-
s.uiMyi .g p.\ue that alone comes to thi*
senses through religious music. The great
musician* of .ill time offer you the comfort thi-y have poured
from their souls into tlvir ina.-urpkves. You must heed them.
Come, and .< r will Re-Create fir you at vour ret/net t, any c/
the r•'"!I matter ' wi>i* you Unite to hear.

i n hind and sea.. The furnace of mil*
tnal hatred was at. white heat. Major

before, had put to torch our nation-

for the destruction of the Canadian
parliament buildings in Toronto b)

Henry and failed, after a bombard-

of September 13 until dawn of tho day

directed against New Orleans. An-
drew Jackson and his cotton hale

treaty of peace had been signed two
weeks earlier, on the day before

the British < 1 en oral I'likenhnm. who

"Swat the Kaiser! Just stop, think how LITTLE you have
done as compared to the sacrifice made by our boys over
there." They have left all—made sacrifices too great to
mention here. They left their wives, children, mother, fath-

have liberty and secure to the world the blessings of
democracy.
