OUR SONGS
There is a certain school
which does not permit the
playing of jazz on Sunday,
and the idea is a good one,
indicative of a reverence for
the obesrvHwe of the Sabbath,
an insitution that is sadly neg-
lected in our land. But. a

Dear Leo;

Not only is the music pure-
ly jazz, but the words of many
of the modern church songs no
longer carry the depth of
meaning, the beauty and clas-
sic strength that characterize
such splendid old hymns as,
“Lead Kindly Light,” “There
is a Fountain Filled with
Blood,” “Faith of our Fath-
ers,” "A Mighty Fortress Is

To Move Home.
E, R. Glazener and family
of Wortham were visiting here
Sunday. Mr. Glazener says
hp expects to move back home
about the first of the year,
and will put in a filling sta-
ti >n and probably other
things on his lot near the

Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Richard-
son and Mrs. Will Goad, liv-
ing on the Goode ranch in An-
derson County were here
Wednesday, and visited Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Richardson at
Blount.
Messrs. A. A. Allison, A. N.
Justice and Roy Christian, del-
egates from Corsicana to the
Highway meeting in Hunts-
ville, Friday, dropped in to
see us while on their way
down. They were enthusias-
tic over the possibilities of
great development Highway

About December 1st we wil

bridles, trace chains, single-

Name of the Lord,” and the
reverent loveliness of “Abide
With Me, Fast Falls the Even-
tide.”
Uur fathers wrought these
songs out of the experiences of
their own hearts and lives. To
worship God in their day
meant real bravery of body
and heart, and it only follows
that greater paeans of praise
would come from the pens of
those who knew the insecurity
of life, and that before an-
other sun had run its course
they might pay for their loy-
alty to their God, at the block
or the stake.
There is much in our mod-
ern church music that is
good, and much that’s funda-
mentally wrong. We find of-
ten the dignified and beauti-
ful, befitting the worship we
offer and let us seek to keep
it so. The pianist with the
jazz impulse should at least
bar it from the church songs,
lest too late we find we have
corrupted beyond repair our
most effective and most beau-
tiful way of offering tribute
to our God.—S. K.
■dties of life. They combined i
music and poetry, and built
great open air theatres, where
thousands of people met and
listened to these musical
dramas. It was before musi-
cal notation, so it was handed
down from one generation to
another in this way.
