: Rev. Charles S. Pierce, pastor of the
, University Baptist Church, yesterday
; preached a forceful sermon on “The
Sanctity of Music.” He took for his
text, Job 38:7, “When the morning
stars sang together, and all the eons
। of God shouted for joy." The ser.
i mon follows:
"Music stands pre-eminent in the
hierarchy of arts, both in its creative-
ness and its sanctity it is the only
Purely original and creative art. All
other arts are copies, or imitations, of
nature and living symmetries, to a
great extent but music is a pure cre-
ation. There is no musie in nature to
be copied. What we call the music of
nature is simply a succession of un-
related sounds. Musie is the develop-
ment of great sentiment and the elab-
oration of great ideas in sound. It
is a native product of the human soul,
part of its original dower from
Heaven.
It is the only art that has an In-
herent and incorruptible sanctity. The
musician can not convey a base senti-
ment in music. The poet, the painter
the sculptor can do this, but the mu-
sician can not. It is true music hax
been carried into places of vice and
degradation, but its pure strains float
through the mephistic atmosphere,
losing none of their purity, and gath-
ering none of Its foulness.
“Music comes directly from Heaven
to inspire end exact the soul by quick*
ening within it heavenly emotions and
sentiments, and it moves through his-
tory. accomplishing its divine mission,
uncontaminated by the sins and stains
and passions of earth. The first music
of which we have ay account was
heard in Heaven when the 'morning
stars sang together and all the sons
of God shouted for joy.’ The picture
that arises before the mind as we read
those words in the book of Job, is a
sublime one. The earth, from a name-
ess and unfinished chaos, had taken
form and garniture. Its firm foun-
dations had been laid. Its crystal
walls had been reared. Its towering
dome had been arched and inlaid with
suns. Its laws had been adjusted by
the Almighty powers which had creat-
ed it. It is hurled forward upon
ceaseless track and begins its splendid
history.
"Then, from the congregated sons
of God, the living stars of the morn-
ins, who had been watching the Cre-
ator at His work, there burst forth a
spontaneous shout of admiration and
delight, followed by songs of praise
and adoration to the Infinite Being
who had created it in unspeakable
love, finished, and hurled it forward
to reveal throughout its cycles. in the
hollow of Ilin band.’ So the very first
worship of which we have any record
in the history of creation arose on
billows of music and music has been
the very soul and ecstacy of worship
in all the ages that have succeeded.
"In our religious education we
could spare all the other arts far

swinring his club.
“Where’s the nearest place to get
gasoline?" demanded Mr. Reed.
"Sullivan’s—six blocks up. i That’s
about the only place open now."
There was nothing to do but for
the chauffeur to go after it, and in
gloomy silence they settled back to
wait.
They would have had plenty of
gasoline, thought Helen wretchedly
if only they had not gone out of the
way. And vet Warren did not seem
to realize that it was all his fault.
Would they ever get home? Sne
was so tired and sleepy she could
have cried.
"Time for him to be getting back."
said Warren finally, lighting anoth-
er cigar. "Shouldn’t take him more
than 20 minutes.”
Mr. Reed glanced at his watch
but made no comment. Helen felt
that he was silent only because h-
was thoroughly angry and out of
patience. Mr. Reed had gotten out
of the car and was walking up and
down.
and then a light glimmered through
the trees from some distant farm
bouse, but there were no bouses
along the road itself. They finally
came to another crossroad.
"Here you are,” announced War-
ren. "He said first turn to the
right."
"But this isn’t the main road,"
protested Mr. Reed. I think you’re
wrong —we ought to vo back.”
But Warren stubbornly cohtended
that this was right. Helen peered
anxiously ahead. She knew it was
late. It had been almost 10 when
they left the road house where they
had dined. Oh, why had Warren in-
sisted that they try a different road
coming back? Mr. Reed had not
wanted to come this way, an1 n‘ w
already they had been wandering
around for over an hour, trying to 1
find the road. •
"What’s that ahead of us, 1

they finally* caught sight of a faint 1
jogging light. 1

"American women are the most

"My experience has been that girls of

the women of any other nation. They
have grace, carriage, wonderful poise,
assimilate quickly, and seldom need
to be told anything twice."
Rev. Dr. W. R. Minter of the First
Southern Presbyterian Church deliv-
ered a secial message to the young
people of the city. He used the text
Judges 14:1. “And Samson went down
to Timroth."
It was a special message to young
men and women and bad as its theme
'The Recreation or Vacation Hours as
a Crucial Temptation and ' Test of
Life.”
'Must people,” said Dr. Minter,
“sleep one-third, work one-third and
recreate one-third of their lives. To
young men and women especially the
chief temptation and test come to
them during .he time of relaxation
and amusement. in this connection
the old-time story of Samson furnishes
a very- practical lesson and warning.
"Samson lived in his youth in Zorah
amid the best influences and among
the best of companions. Timroth was
a border town among the Philistines,
quite attractive, perhaps, but whose
people were heathen and influences
were evil only Here the day’s work
being done, as on vacation, Samson
went, choosing above all the people
of Zorah, in fact, of all Israel, Tim-
moth, with its dangers hidden be-
neath its charms and its evils under
its pleasures. His occasional going
down there soon became a habit. The
habit soon resulted in a hasty, ill-
advised and unfortunate marriage,
which, instead of the beginning of his
highest happiness, was the beginning
of hts undoing He became confirmed
in this habit of crossing the line Into
the country of the Philistines, and be-
yond Timroth he goes next to Gaza,
which marked his complete moral
downfall. From being a slave of lust
he soon reaches the next station and
becomes the blind prisoner, grinding
corn behind prison bars and led about
by a boy. Yes, he got back to his
old home at last—at least his corpse
did, and was buried in the family
graveyard.
“How true to life is this old story.
How forceful and needed are its les-
sons to the youth of today. Here in
Austin are to be found both Zorah
and Timroth, which being interpreted

and those if not positively evil are
doubtful (you know Timroth was near
the border): influences good and in-
fluences bad The young man and (
woman have free choice here They ,
can not choose by whose side they ,
may have to work, but can choose
with whom they will play And how '
they here choose is the subtlest test
and the surest revealing of their char-
acter. of their true inner self, and.
indeed, of destiny in the end. The
very nearness of Timroth, the unap-
parent harm of going there, the little- .
ness out of the way, if any at all,
coupled with,the fact that at this hour '
of r» laxation the mind and heart are '
unoccupted. off guard often, makes '
this, to the youth especially, a severe 1
temptation because it seems so slight.
Once more the chauffeur cranked
up the machine, and once more they
started off. But to Helen’s horror
the car soon stopped again.
"What’s the matter now?" asked
Mr. Reed, and Helen could feel the
controlled wrath in his voice.
"Don’t know, sir,” answered
George, as he took out his tools.
Then both Warren and Mr. Rend
got out and began looking the ma-
chine over. Helen was buddled up
in the wide back seat alone, almost
too wretched to care what happened.
"See here. Curtis," said Mr. Reed
suddenly. "You’d better take Mrs

sermon was forceful in its argument,
profound in logic and eloquent in
speech and brought many souls to
Christ.
Saturday evening the rostrum «was
filled with visitors and friends and
National representatives to hear our
white friends. The first speaker was
Dr. T. R. Sampson, who was intro-
duced to the audience. Following this
the moderator introduced W. F.
Doughty, State Superintendent of Pub-
lic Instruction. Among the many
things he said was the following:
"Education if it is the right kind
will do good for anybody. It will help
the white man and it will help the
black man. In trying to administer
the education of this State I am try-
ing to educate all the children, white
and black. If I did not believe that
education was a good thing I would
not be working in it. Education will
give a man vocation and character.
If vocation is a bad thing for a per-
son to have, then we ought to stop
educating. We should be careful in
the selection of men and women to
teach in our schools. I want to say.
in conclusion, that you will never
amount to anything unless you stand
individually for that which is right.
I hope that you will get along well
with your work. I wish for you the
very best that is to come."
Fred W. Davis, Commissioner of
Agriculture, was also introduced and
said in part: "I did not know that
you were going to find out that I was
here. I did not expect to have any-
thing to say. Ever since I was a child
I have been going to colored folk’s
meetings. I wish I could speak like
you folk, but you are just natural
’glibbers.' Now’ I notice the talk has
been along the line of education. Edu-
cation in its practical sense means an
intelligent co-operation with your en-
vironments. You have always been
workers and the prdper thing to do is
to bring brawn and brain together.
I am speaking of the general masses
of your people. To teach a child to
go to school without working is a
crime. Now I am glad you have an
exhibit hall and I want to see it. Mr.
Doughty and I think we about run
the State when it comes to education
and agriculture and we are going to
put the two together. Individually,
you can not get public recognition—
you have to get it collectively. Su-
perintendent Doughty’s department al-
ways says we must educate and I say
we must co-operate."

At noon Dr. L. G. Jordan abiressed
the masses, choosing as his t t, "Ap-
plied Christianity." The sermon,
which was both logical and uplifting,
was full of wholesome thoughts. All
of the choirs of the St. John Asso-
ciation assembled on the rostrum,
1 making fully 1000 voices. The St.
| John quartet rendered some excellent
jubilee selections. At 3 p. m. the
president of the General Baptist Con-
vention. Dr. L. L. Campbell, and mod-
erator of the St. John Association,
was introduced to a large audience,
.with cheers, clapping of hands and
waving of handkerchiefs. Fully 20,-
000 members and visitors to the en-
campment heard his address as he
spoke on all phases of denominational
pride and race progress.
Last night the largest audience that
has ever assembled at any one time
heard Dr. W. H. Moses, president of
Guadalupe College, Seguin, as he spoke
on “The Young Man's Vision.” There
was hardly a dry eye in the audience
when the speaker took his seat. His I

Mr. Reed muttered something un-
der his breath, and Warren asked
sharply:
“But we can get to New York this
way, can't we?”
“No. sir. You’re going straight
away from New York.”
Helen felt her cheeks grow hot.
So Warren had been wrong. They
had come all this distance out of the
wav because he had been tos obsti-
nate to admit he was mistaken. Now,
as they turned back, he was sullen-
ly silent.
"Go back slowly along here.
George." warned Mr. Reed, as the
machine bumped along the uneven
road. "Pretty hard road on the
car.” ,
This added to Helen’s discomfort.
She shrank from the thought that
they had been the cause of needless
wear and tear on Mr. Reed s car.
She was always sensitive about the
use of other people's property. The
whole situation was becoming to her
keenly humiliating.
At last they came out on the right
road, and by this time it was after
midnight and they were still a long
way from home.

is to go to court and take your medi-

“And will they fine you much?”
she asked anxiously.
Mr. Reed shrugged his shoulders
"Ten or twenty dollars.”
Ten or twenty dollars! And this
extra expense, too. had been their
fault. If they had not lost so much
time going out of the wy they
would not have been running so
fast. For a moment she wished War-
ren would offer to pay the fine—it
would lessen her sense of obligation
But then she realized how strange
that would look. They were Mr
