THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
Music in Augusta Churches Today,
Its Place and Value
(By O, P. Gilbert.)
“Music, the fiercest grief can charm.
And fate’s severest rage disarm.
Music can soften pain to case,
And imke despair and madness please;
Our Joys he low it can improve,
And antedate the bliss above.”
Music 1» one of the primitive sciences.
Its development begun with Jubal tho
sou o* Lamech. From its origin it
Rot ll ii* to have been appreciated by all
races and classes of men. In more
inodeVr. times music has taken largo
place in many of our Institutions of
lean mg. In recent yeirs It has be
come a part of the course prescribed for
our public schools. In our churches to
day we shall have an opportunity to wit
ness the progress of the science of music
since the day that Jubal played upon
th* haTj> and the organ in the primitive
home of Lamech.
Lasting impression.
Tho music in our churches today will
make a lasting impression on many
minds. Or. Sunday preceding Christmas,
hs a rule, the churches have larger
crowns than usual A crrcat many of
the worshipers today will be hard heart
ed business men, or women devoted to
the lighter side of life, or people hard
ened by toil and environment. Those
who sing in our choirs will have a most
sp ondld opportunity to reach many of
the ui'churched.
Music seems to have a very subtle in
fluence over the mind. It is said that
when Sultan Amurath had taken Bag
dad by seige, he ordered thirty thou
sand of the inhabitants to be put to
death. Among the number of the vic
tims was a musician who begged the
officer in charge of the Sudan's orders
to span* him a moment till he might
speak with .Amurath. When the officer
consented the musician went before the
eon*iutVoi with a psaltery and his melo
dious voice. He sung the capture of
Bagdad and the triumph of Amurath.
Under the pathetic tones and exulting
sounds of the psaltery Joined to tho
plantiver.ess and boldness of his voice,
be c,iptund the prince and wrung his
soul io tears and the liberty of those who
had m t already fallen a prey to his
cruelty.
The Power of Music.
One of the best examp es of the power
of music o\vr a distempered mind is that
of the boy David with is harp in the
tents of King Saul. Poor Saul, if he
<»,u :d have lived under the spell of Da
vid's music, he might not have ended it
all .i suicide on Mt. Gilboa. Sir Henry
Halford tells of a gentleman of York
shire. whe lost his property and became
gradually insane. The gentleman in
question was motionless and did not
walk or speak fur nearly four months.
Tha firs f signs of approaching sanity
was when he hoard music played in the
street. The second time he heard it he
whs aroused from his stupor. Observing
the good effects of music upon the man
his superintendent gave Miim a violin.
This I e took and amused himself with
it. After four months the patient was
dismissed cured.
Luther Tanked music ns “one of the
f.uroMt and most glorious gifts of God,
i) which Satan is a bitter enemy; for
it removes from the heart the weight

USUAL MEETING. ASBURY
BARACA CLASS THIS A. M.
The regular Sunday session of the
Asbury Baraca Class will be held in
tlie elass room at 1016 D'Antlgnac
Street this morning at 3:48 o'clock.
The topic for today is, "The Ascen
sion." nnd will no doubt prove very
Interesting to all.
The Holden Text: “He Was Taken
Up; and a Cloud Carried Him Out of
Their Sight."-Acts 1:19.
Asubry hopes to have one hundred
this morning and all young men are
invited to attend.
of sorrow and the fascination of evil
thoughts. Music is a kind and gentle
sort of discipline; It refines the passions
and impioves the understanding.’’ It
would be a good thing if those who take
part in thrj music today would think fov
a moment of Him whose temper was
never aroused to speak evil or hurt his
fellows. It was with singing that the
heavenly choir announced His birth, and
a mui.tude no man can number sing
ing like the mighty ocean, shall an
nounce His triumph.
To Martial Strain*.
On the blood-soaked battle fields of
Europe today are soldiers going io battle
and to death under the strains of some
martial hymn. Many, who are at grip
wlili the King of the battlefield, will
find it easier to go down into the vahey
of the shadow of death urged on by the
hymns of the church and national airs.
The story is told of a wounded soldier on
the field of Shiloh who was slowly dying,
lie WjS too far removed from his com
rtd*fl IO talk with them. He was lone
ly and as he lay there under the stars
hlij thoughts went back to his home—
his lot ed ones and his friends, never to
be seen again. But as earth receded the
“house not made with hands” appeared
and he began to sing:
“When I can read my title clear
T) mansions In the skies,
I'll bid farewell to every fear
And wipe my weeping eyes.”
The song was taken up by hundreds of
voice* and the dark battlefield became
the very gate-way to heaven.
Man Not Alone.
StTungc to say man is not alone in
bis love of music. It is said that the
stag is enticed by singing in the Tyrol
and some parts of Germany. I once
had i friend who owned a dog upon
which music had a peculiar effect. When
the piano was played he would beg for
th-3 parlor, fall to the ground and roll
over. He seemed to be perfectly over
come with pleasure. Reptiles and in
sects are. said to be fond of music.
The difficulty with most churches is
to get singers. The churches are full
of people who have good voices, but the
average choir is subject to so many de
grees of opinion, and is so often filled
by pet pie out of sympathy with the real
work of the Master that the end of
music is hot attained. Some say it
wou d be much better if all the churches
would use onW those who profess the
Christian religion, but many argue that
the choir is a splendid place to catch tho
unregenerate. So our choirs are often
made up In part by those whose hearts
are far from Him which Is a travesty
on our Christian churches.
Augusta Congratulated.
Augusta is to be congratulated upon
such an effort made by most all church
choirs of the city to prepare a special
program for today's services. The carols
which are to be sung by all of the Sun
day schools on their way to the Plaza
Christmas Day will add much to the
celebration of a real sane Christmas. In
another part of the Herald today is a
number of special programs. Attend
one or more of the churches today and
you wi 1 not regTet it.

She Is Feverishly Mad Also.
Chicago, 111..
Dec. 13. Pastor
Russell delivered
an address today
at the Chicago
City Temple, tak
ing the text, “The
Inhabitants of the
earth have been
made drunk with
the wine of her
fornication.”
Revelation 17:2.

[PASTOR RUSSELL)
verted to his ad
dress of last Sunday, in which he had
pointed out some of the fulse doctrines
which led to the exaltation of the
Scarlet Woman, the unfaithful Spouse
of Christ She had not followed her
Redeemer In self-sacrifice and humili
ty. She had especially separated her
self from the people under the clergy
title, had fought down the true follow
ers of Jesus, causing them to suffer for
righteousness’ sake, even as the Jews
had crucified Jesus, and (is the Apos
tles had suffered for loyalty to Truth.
Intoxicated by successes, she went to
great lengths of boasting, establishing
herself as Queen of Heaven, ruling
over the kings of earth; but neverthe
less having fellowship with then and
drawing support from them. Both
kings and people were made drunk
with the thought that they could have
so close dealings with the Divine
Kingdom and still live after the flesh
Degradation ensued, while kings and
people went Into n sleep from which
they are not yet fully aroused.
The Sixteenth Century brought a
partial awakening, but the Adversary
was at hand to re-entangle those men
tally confused by the adulterated wine
—the mixture of Heavenly Truth with
earthly selfishness and deviltry. To
have allowed the full light of Truth to
shine in upon the world at that time
would have meant the permission of
the great Time of Trouble nearly three
centuries too soon: for the Lord's King
dom would not be ready for establish
ment until the full end of the 0,000
years of the reign of Sin and Death.
Therefore God permitted the Protes
tnnt Churches to he born, and to devel
op under the influence of their Moth
er’s intoxicating Cup. So we are not
surprised at the prophetic declaration
that the Daughters had the Mother’s
disposition and became Harlots like
her—affiliating with the kingdoms of
this world, modifying doctrines so ns
to meet their approval, etc. Each
Daughter has done her share to perpet
uate the intoxication of the world.
"Babylon Is Fallen, Is Fallen.”
The name Babylon contains a Uoubl
thought—first, the Gate of God; sec
ond, confusion. Thus It imports that
the Church, Gateway to God and right
eousness, became confused, impure,
adulterous. As God had prophecied
this Babylon system. He evidently pur
posed to permit it to have the con
trol it has had. Throughout the past
some of His saintly ones have been in
Babylon. Otherwise He would not
say, "Come out of her, My people.”
His voice calling His people out of
Babylon at tho time she Is rejected sot
destruction Is the voice of the Truth
As knowledge respecting the Divine
character and plan, ns revealed In the
Bible, comes to God’s consecrated peo
pie, the voice of tho Truth, appealing
to the honesty of tho Individual, call
him to come out at any cost and stand
separate from nil earthly Institutions
The Divine Message declares that tb;
literal fall of these great systems Is at
hand, and that everybody in them will
suffer—ln proportion to enlightenment
Tho Morning Hour, the Drunken Awake
According to Bible chronology, the
six thousand years of the-reign of Sin
and Death hare ended. We are in the
dawning of the New Dispensation, and
the New Order Is being gradually in
troduced. Properly, the uwakening cam,
first to God's consecrnted. who long
have prayed, “The Kingdom come!”
Meantime the Millennial blessings be
ginning to come to the world have
made the drunken sleepers restless
As they awaken, they are seized with
feverish acquisitiveness as Individuals
and as nations. As the Individuals
have racked their brains respecting
money-getting, so the nations bnv*
been plotting and scheming for exten
sion of territory, trade, etc. Rdttcn
tlon has awakejied the whole world
While the awakened ones reject the
major part of the creeds of the past,
they carefully cling to any rights or
privileges which those false doctrines
gave them. Thus the Divine right of
kings and nobles, princes and govern
ments. and rites and coreiuonle*. civil
and ecclesiastical, are clutched In the
Interest of the rulers. This Is the sc
cret of the willingness of earthly kings
financial prince* and subservient re
Itglonlsts to engage In the present lior
rible war. The argument with all I*
that the end Justifies the means The
Lord no longer restrains these: for His
time hntt come that Iniquity should
have an end; Hint the Harlot Systems
should make manifest that none of
them Is the Bride of Christ: and that
the kings of the earth might humble
ench other and thus make ready for
the tryp Kingdom of God.
