"The Spice of Lf e"
NO one can live out a well rounded healthful normal
life without variety. "The spice of life" is necessary
for without it existence is flat stale" and profitless indeed.
Music possesses infinite variety. It plays upon the emc
tions; it changes with the quickness of thought itself
sorrow. to joy tears to laughter; it fans into flame in an
- .instant the fires of partiotism; it brings the solace. of
" religion the exaltation of Divine Communion.
And so music apd music alone may . truly be said to be .
"the spice. 6f life."
