the power of music. The psychology
of music is far-reaching. As an arous
er of interest and enthusiasm It has,
perhaps, no equal.
Get a crowd doing one thing in
unison and that crowd will do the
next thing In unison. Get a crowd
singing enthusiastically nnd It will be
enthusiastic about other things.

ing features of Its program to make
people good by giving them whole
somo outlet for their pent-up vigor.
Tho Salvation army for years has
used music psychology to save sin
ners. Churches use music psychol
ogy to work upon tho minds of church
attendants to crystallize the thought
of goodness In tho lives of the con
gregation. Writers and artists use music in
many instances to impel them to
their best work. Music has peculiar
power emotionally to arouse those
who hear it. It plays upon ,the sensi
tive human being, awakening the
finer instincts. Why? Ah, that is hard
to say. But the power Is there. It
works.
The psychology of music at all
events is being used to further man's
groping after the finer interests of;
life.
