THE OROUCH TALKS OF . ,
MONEY, MUSIC AND CHOIRS.
We undertook to draw The Grouch
out on rural credits, money for the
farmers as promised by many politi
cians and one or two party platforms
which promises are not yet fulfilled.
We felt sure that he would say much
in regard to the farmers' need of
cash and laws providing a place
wTTere they could secure loans on
land, but not so. He smiled and
said:
“We need more music and less
talk of money. The country is full
of money now ready for the man
who can pay it back. I take no
stock in that political play that leads
a pleasure-loving spendthrift to be
lieve that the government or any
other organization will pile out mon
ey to men who have no money-sense.
Who would borrow the earth and set
tie the debt in bankruptcy. Hen with
money would gladly lend it to sane,
safe, sound, honest men, but they
shy at sharpers who think the world
owes them a living and pleasure too,
every day in the year, buch may
continue to whistle or sing.
“But Grouch, there would be lit
tle music in the song of a man in
debt when the sheriff lias seized his
property and no credit may be had.
The wife would offer a discordant
accompaniment on a mortgaged pia
no, if the mortgage must be fore
closed.”
“Let me tell you, Bob; mortgaged
pianos, organs, buggies, automobiles
and other pleasure-making outfits
have knocked the music out of many
songs and confidence out of friends.
Real music comes from the heart and
the best quality through the human
voice. Gold has no part when soul
communes with soul through song.
However humble the cottage or out
of fashion the costume if sheltered,
there is a sweet voice singing, “Jesu:
Lover of My Soul” from the heart,
there is real wealth. The lone voice
of the brother in the amen corner
singing “How Firm Foundation,
strikes responsive chords in human
hearts while choirs around pianos
bought ou the installment, subscrip
tion plan, appeal, to vanity and call
for pay.”
•'Well, Grouch, in this advanced
age of civilization and progress, in
struments arc l a part of the music at
church and elsewhere, whether the
piano is paid for or not. Our lead
ers and teachers are helpless in theii
work without them. All city church
es have organized choirs with va
rious Instruments and voices. Ser
vice's without the aid of a choir
would be unusual if not embarrass
ing. 1 know that formerly there
was much objection to violins, cor
nets, and even pianos in the church
choirs, but all that lias subsided.
The music is so much better than
under a leader with uncertain pitch.
‘‘Uncertain pitch, Bob, is no lass
embarrassing than uncertain Chris
tianity. 1 like such music at certain
places and on certain occasions, but
to save my life, I can’t keep back
that worldly part of me when fid
dle and a pretty girl with a fashion
able hat on begins performing in the
choir. Just association of ideas I
suppose. You may be cityfied so as
to think ( only of the worship, but
1 find myself wondering where that
fiddler was last night and night be
fore, and whether that cornet man
belongs to the church, and whether
that organist is the Sunday school
teacher who - “could not give up danc
ing long enough to teach. Like you
say, objections are subsiding just
as objections to church members
dancing appear to be subsiding, and
the old time religion is subsiding,
faith in man subsiding, but the chal
lenge to id- cerity, truth, honor and
Christianity is not subsiding. For
entertainment 1 like your choirs, but
for w'— ’ ip, the old way appeals to
all. Where the preacher says ‘Let
all the people sing:’ ’*
“AIL hail the power of Jesus’ name,
Let angels prostrate fall.
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all.”

COMPLIMENTS WINDER NEWS.
The Winder News got out a splen
did Educational Edition last week.—
Conyers Times.
Last week’s Educational issue of
The Winder News contained twenty
four pages; was a most interesting
paper.—Dahlonega Nugget.
Last week The Winder News is
sued a special Education Edition
which was a credit to itself, its pro
moters and printers and the county
of Barrow.—Walton Tribune.
That was a crhckerjack education
al issue gotten out by Bob Ross, ed
itor of the Winder News last week.
It was a credit to Winder, to Bar
row county, and to the News force
The Commerce News.
The Winder News was a hummer
last week, being an educational edi
tion of twenty-four pages. In it was
found the picture of the Statham
Public school building and its corps
of teachers, Prof. W. M. Rogers be
ing one of them and is well known
here.—Milton County News.
The Winder News is to be congrat-;
ulated on an educational edition is- 1
sued last week. The paper had pict
ures of every school and teacher in
the hustling county of Barrow. No
body knows the work required to
publish a paper of this kind except
those who have done it, and this pa
per must result in good for the ed
ucational interests of Winder and
Barrow county. —Lavonia Times.
EDUCATING YOUNG FOLKS.
What Barrow county is doing for
thp education of its young citizens
is interestingly told in the special
educational edition of The Winder
News, profusely illustrated, issued
March 23. Photogravures of the
county’s numerous and commodious
schoolhouses, their capable and effi
cient teachers and their well-filled
classes of bright-faced children give
evidence of a better appreciation of
the value of education than usually
is found in the rural counties of the
State. So far as school facilities go,
according to The News, there is no
I excuse for illiteracy —if, indeed, it
exists —in Barrow county. —Savannah
News.
