YOUNG MEN AND THE MINISTRY.
Thero lias recently boon a flood of articles In tho religious press nf
ike country rogunlog tho dearth of candidates for protestant pulpits.
Although J; a fow churches aro nblo to present somo contrary statls
Jcs, yet the only concluulon that can logically bo reachod from n study

T&ocomo oxpoundora of tho gospel In tho prosent day and gonoratlon as
tXfetjy "woro only n few decades ngo.
In their aiscuBsloiiB of tho oubjoct, tho various writers In tho religious

TTTTAT THE SHORTAGE IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOUNG MEN

I ADVICE TO VOGAL PUPILS"!
1 1 . i i
THE RESOLUTION
So you havo decided to study singing, havo you? Well, that 1b
good. But will you kindly listen to a llttlo advlco from ono who has
had much exporlenco? You will not And It nn easy task to learn to
sing well. You must practice long and faithfully meet many dis
couragements and do an endless amount of drudgery before you can lay
claim to oven singing passably well.
START RIGHT
Many make tho mlBtako of thinking that any cheap teacher will do
to begin with. Novor a greater mistake! The foundation is the prin
cipal thing. It is a lamentable mlstako to Bpend money and waste valu
able tlmo nnd thon later on find out that all you havo learned was worse
than nothing; that you had formed habits that must be unlearned be
foro any real musical progress can bo made.
sihm uuaniUG
Tho first difficulty In sclectlnR ft' Reed teacher, which' is no easy
task, for no profession is bo full of "sham and humbug" aB Vocal
Training. As a rule, a fow teachers aro thoroughly prepared and in
placo of correct Instruction use all kinds of llttlo "lclnkB" that aro of no
posslblo valuo and often very detrimental. A volco when onco spoiled
can never be restored, hence tho great Importance of selecting a good
teacher.
GOOD EDUCATION
A few vital points may bo noted. In the first place, tho good teach
er will havo a broad, liberal education. His mind muBt be broader than
just rauBlc. Ho muBt possess a well developed, well balanced brnln
power, which comes only from a broad education. Ho must bo a man
among mon, nnd not one-sided, "cranky," "finicky." Tho reason that
so many musicians aro bo touchy and Jealousy, Is because thoy aro vory
narrow becauso of tho lack of a good general education.
VOCAL TRAINING
Tho good vocal teacher should hnvo studied Volco Culture,
Sight Singing, Solo and onscmblo work, Including Opera nnd
Oratorio, not less than FIVE years, TWO yoarB of which should havo
been with Bomo groat master In Europe Ho should bo thorough in
Harmony, Musical History, Musical Biography, Musical Science, Musi
cal Pedagogy, Laws of Sound nnd Physiology and Ilygone of tho Voice.
A tenchor thus prepared will have something reliable to teach and not
tho "Imagination ol n fertile brain."
POPULAR SINGER
Tho good tcnciior should hnvo a good volco nnd bo n popular
singer. Ho can teach nil tho bettor If ho con whoiv how, ns well as tell
how to nlng. Ho should bo bo popular that churches, socials, lodged,
concerts, oporns, nnd orntorlos, all Bcok to employ him. Ho should bo
henrd frequently In public, oven in a full Song Concert programme,
nlono. Do not lonrn to shoot mark from a blind man, or to talk from
n dumb mnn, or phyHlcal training from a paralytic, or singing from a
tenchor who Is not a good popular singer, ono who meets tho approval
of tho public.
NATURAL TEACHER
Some ono hn'n Bald: "Tho good tenchor is born, not made," which
Is cBpcclnlly truo of vocal teachers. Ono mny know over bo much nnd
ho nblo to sing magnificently and yet not bo a good tenchor. Thoro must
he tho ability of detecting tho needs of a pupil nnd thon tho ability of
correcting tho faults by giving tho required Instruction. IIo must also
bo nblo to Insplro onorgy nnd confldonco In tho pupil bo as to draw out
his vory best effort.
STRONG PERSONA LIT Y
Nothing that Is weak or offomlnntc can Insplro or direct tho work
of tho pupil. Tho good tenchor fchould bo strong and vigorous, with
a personality that Htnnds bohlnd tho pupil giving him power to do his
best. Tho course of s.udy will bo positive and conclso n proportion
to tho porBonal strength' of tho toncher. A weakling for a teacher pro
diicos vnsclllutlng phplls nud In such ensos vory llttlo good Ib ever ac
complished. FORCEFUL ORGANIZER
Tho good toucher should bo nblo to orgnnlzo his pupils nnd tho
musical public Into Quartettes, Singing Soclotiett, Oporns, nnd Ora
torios, giving many Recitals nnd Concocts, thus giving tho pupils nn op
portunity to put Into actual praotlco tho principle studlad In private
lossous. Most vocal toaohors give the prlvato loasonB only nnd sond out
thnlr pupil, nbiolutoly holploss, whon it comas to taking up tho actual
work of a musician. Vocal toaohors should provide this ossontlnl drill
for tholr pupils.
A REAL SPECIALIST
Do not study with a vocnl toachor who tonchoB Volco, Piano, Or
gan, Violin, Cornet, otc. otc, or with n mnn who Is In Bomo other busi
ness and gives a fow volco lessons on tho sldo, or with n woman who
sponds much of hor tlmo with household or socloty dutloH, or with n
young lady who Ib passing tho tlm'o nlcoly until ulo gots married, or
with an old mnld who Is "cranky" nnd "finicky," but study with n real
hpt'clallsi who mnkos vocal trnlnlng his only buslnoss nnd llfo work.
MODERN WONDKK
Soniotltnos somo girl with u good natural volco, will go "East"
nnd study a your or two nnd como back to hor homo town nnd try to
nuiko tho peoplo bollevo thnt alio has dovolopod Into n "Modern Won
th'r." Whon she sings alio will rnlBO up on hor toos, heavo tho chest,
shrug tho shoulders, gazo vacantly nt somo Imaginary spot and roll
up hor oyos, so angollc (?) until somo pooplo suppose that this Is truo
nrt. Happily, aftor n while, alto loses those "fads" and gets back to
singing natural again,
DEFINITE COURSE
Mnny fachors hnvo n fow Incoherent oxorclses over which thoy
hnvo tholr pupils practlco nnd In books thoy skip around singing only
horo and thoro nn exorcise, Suph practice is aimless practice and can do
but llttlo good, A deflnlto courso should bo followed by all, hut Its ap
plication to Individual pupils Is vastly dlfforont.' Some aro lacking In
ono thing, Home In unothor, yot tho samo gonornl knowledge must bo
mastorod by all who expoct to bo thorough muslclnus.
PUPILS PROGRESS
It Is snld: "Uy tholr faults yophnll know thorn." Some pupils suc
cood In splto of tholr toachors nnd not becauso of thorn. A "star"
pupils, always glvon extra help nnd brought to tho front, Is no Index
of a tenuhors' ability. WATCH ALL THE PUPILS! If noarly nil nro
Improving if from those who know nothing of music, good, rollnhlo
nmntour slngors tire dovelo'pcd, the tenchor may be trusted as a safe
tenchor.
MUSIC COLLEGE
It Is host to study In a College of Music, Incorporntod under tho
laws of tho state, for Bitch n Collogo will omploy, as a rule, toachors
who aro much bettor than local teaohors specialists in on oh depart
ment Concort soloists of rocognlted ability Mastorj that only a large
school with flnnnolnl backing could nfford to omploy. Thon thero will
ho a doflnlto courso of study, regular examinations, Recitals, 'Concerts,
Classes, Lectures nnd Dlplomns and Dogreos on tho completion of a
proscribed courso of study. There are hundrods of so-callod llttlo musi
cal consdrvatorlos that hnvo no chartor from tho state and no legal
right to confer diplomas. A diploma from such a school la not worth
tho paper on which It Is printed. Tho standing of tho school alono
glvos worth to your diploma.
tittle tattle
No profession Is subject to moro unjust gossip than tho music
teachor. Somo times n pupil becomes dlssatlsflod, and thon he heralds
broadcast ovory soomlngly fault of tho teachor, magnified a hundred
fold. Dut worst of all is tho "Saintly Hypocrlto," who absolutely lies
to defamo tho character of somo ono who does not conform to his nar
row, bigoted standard. You find a few of such scandal mongers in
most churches, In tho Y. M. 0, A., and in unlversltlos. The fact that
they attack a teacher is proof that be Is dolus something.

Tho Limit of Llfo.
Tho most eminent medical scien

sion that tho generally accepted limi
tation of human llfo is many years
below tho attainment possible with
tho advanced knowledge of which
tho race is now possessed. The cri
tical period, that determines Us dura
tion, seems to be between 50 and 60;
the proper care of tho body during
this decado cannot be too strongly
urged; carelessness then being fatal
to logevlty. Nature's best helper aft
