HOUSE BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
There are hermit souls that live with
drawn.
In the place of their self content;
There are souls, like stars, that dwell
apart
In a fellowless firmament;
There are pioneer souls that blaze
their paths
Where the highways never ran—
But let me live by the side of the
road
And be a friend to man.
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road,
Where the race of men go by—
The men who are good and men who
are bad,
As good and as bad as I,
I would not sit in the scorner’s seat,
or the cynic’s ban—
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road,
And be a friend to man.
I see from my house by the side of the
road,
By the ride of the highway of life,
The men who press with the ardor of
hope,
The men who are faint with the
strife;
But I turn not away from their smiles
or their tears—
Both parts of an infinite plan—
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road,
And be a friend to man.
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road,
Where the race of men go by—
They are good, they are bad, they
are weak, they are strong;
Wise foolish—so am I.
Then why should I sit in the scorner’s
seat
Or hurl the cynic’s ban?
Let me live in the house by the side of

I ' TERT VINING AT I' RA( TIG A S
01 THE MUSIC STUDY CLUB
Enjoying life calmly and luxurious
ly, hearing only the faint echo of the
devastation that blights the old world,
the, new world forgets, or has become
ii. away callous to the terrible nec
essities that confronts war-ridden Eu
rope. The war is eighteen months
old, and the horrors piled up for ev
ery month of it is so overwhelming
that even the most kindly disposed,
the most generous and unselfish, are
confused and benumbed by its bur
dens; but we, the people of Ameri
cus, have benefited to a degree, we
feel at present a large degree, by the
war in a musical way. We were
aid.? to hear two of the old word's
very great composers, and can not
say enough of their ability as judged
by the recital on Wednesday night.
Emma Van De Zande is a native of
Belgium. She is a pupil of Henri Se
gvin, professor of Royal Conservatory
cf Music, at Liege, Belgium .
The singer has been recognized in
Belgium and France as an artist of
th,9 first rank, and has had many im
portant engagements with the Society
of Grande Harmonle of Brussels and
other orchestral bodies.
When the war was declared and
Belgium invaded, all engagements of
the artist in the continent were can
certize. Many important engagements
have been secured for her with the
large music societies of Mobile, New
Crleans and other Southern cities.
The press everywhere has given her
enthusiastic praise.
Halfdan Jebe is not only a virtuoso
of great ability, but also quite a noted
composer. He is very prolific, an i
more than twenty of his small compo
sotions and several pretentious ones,
among them two violin sonotas, have
been published abroad.
Herr Jebe is a Norwegian by birth,
but received his tuition at Berlin and
eLipsig, in the former place under
I Joachim, and finally went to Paris to
complete his studies with Massenet.
The combination of these two ar
tists was unusually attractive and in
several of the program numbers they
appeared together.
The Musical club was organized late
in December, with just a few members
lard now the number has ir creased tn
s;xty-five. The object of the organi
zation is to study the history of mu
sic, the lives of the composers anJ
to further the love of music in the
community and instill in the hearts
i.f the people the love of music.
The leaders in this movement are
hoping that this will be a cornerstone
[of a great .woman's club in the course
; of a few months.
I
! On February 16, the Music Study
club will present Sir Edward Baxter-
Perry, the great blind pianist. The
artist needs no introduction to the
people of Americus. He performed
here on two previous occasions. Those
who have not had the pleasure seize
tb.is opportunity to hear him. He is a
v onderful artist.
