Symphony Concerts Each
Week For Young Folks
Aid Musical Educatio
An announcement of too great sig
nificance to be passed over without
comment appears in the New York
papers to the effect that there is be
ing given a series of six Saturday
afternoon symphony concerts for
young people by the New York Sym
phony Orchestra under the conduct
orship of Walter Damrosch. Also
the same organization is giving a
series of four programs for children
on Saturday morning.
The New York parents and chil
dren are fortunate indeed that such
an arrangement is possible, tor these
programs will undoubtedly do
much to Influence the boys and girls
and young people to become lovers
of good music. The youthful mind
will be educated musically by hear
ing a good orchestra just as it is edu-
cated in geography by seeing maps.
The hearing of music should then
l>e supplemented by having the child
produce music for himself just as the
seeing of a map is made the most of
by actually drawing it.
At school we used to draw the map
of Europe putting in the countries,
ports, rivers, chief cities,'mountain
ranges, and all boundaries. The
doing of this after a close study of
the map was a splendid training. In
the same way a mother can take her
son or daughter to such a program
as is above referred to, point out
certain details about the rendering
of music as exemplified in the or
chestra's playing and then ask the
child to strive for similar results in
his practising.
Another great advantage to be de
rived from such series of recitals,
though perhaps more indirect, is sur
rounding the children with this niu-

THE BELLS OF' BELGI
A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
y By JOHN W. PHILLIPS
For over three hundred and fifty |
years the carillon —meaning a set of
bells—has sent down from lofty tow
er or belfrey to the peasant, the I
housewife, the shopkeeper, the fish-!
erman, the tourist, and the school
child, its friendly, cheerful message, 1
and at the same time pealing en
trancing music to the people oi' Bel
glum. The cavillon, made up with as'
many as bells, is capable
of producing wonderful and beau-!
tiful music. Tljere are many caril-,
lons in Belgium. Thoy are common i
to the low, llat countries, where high I
towers are hotter adapted to the
landscape than in hilly countries.'
Thus the bells, being at a great!
height carry their message to neigh- i
boring towns and villages, who share 1
the mysterious, wild and charming
music from afar. This brings about
a community good fellowship, this
greeting from an unknown neighbor
to another. It brings human unity
and sweetness, a source of common
enjoyment, a means of alarm or
warning if necessary, an expression
of gayety at festivals, holidays or
birthdays, or an expression of sym
pathy in time of grief and calamity;
thus enabling all for miles around
to share the burdens or joys through
the voice of the bells.
As the player on the bells is in
visible, there is an element, of mys
tery in the tones that float from the
tower. The air currents affect the
power of the tones, and also affect
the direction of the sound, so that
the listener is often puzzled in trying
to locate the exact source of this
strange but sweet music. This ele
ment of uncertainty and mystery is
one of the chief charms of the caril
lon. In certain weather, with strong
cross air currents,'there is a rugged
wildness and strangeness, a dynamic
force; at times a far-away sound,
that suggests much. We know now
where. Tennyson got his inspiration
for "Ring Out Wild Bells;" and where
Millet got his inspiration for "The
Angel us;" and where Blashtield con
ceived his picture of "The Bellring
ers," depicting bells in agitated mo
tion with angels swinging in wild
rhythm from the clappers. We can
well imagine then, how these bells
have iniluenced the thoughts, the
customs, the emotions and the lives
of the loyal and simple Belgian folk.
To them, these bells are the voices of
the sky—voices that laughed and
made merry with them; wept when
they wept and suffered when they
suffered.
Many of the Belgium people have |
been sorely stricken; many of the I
kindly bells lie twisted and dumb; '
but not before they had proclaimed
the beginning of the struggle that is
to "Ring in a thousand years of
peace;" for it was at Liege that Pa
gan and Christian met in deadly
combat. It was at Liege that the
beast was held at bay until a sym
pathizing mankind could take up the
challenge. At Liege the issues were
clearly defined. It was Liege that
thrilled the world when it proclaim
ed to the Pagan foe "Thou shalt not
covet;" Thou shalt not steal;"
"Thou shalt not bear false witness;"
"Thou shalt not kill." It was at Liege
that Christian martyrdom asserted
itself. The sacrifices begun at Liege,
have marked a bloody trail even to
Jerusalem, the Holy City. This is not
a war of autocracy against demo
cracy. It is a war between Christian
ity and Paganism.
The ruler of a people, who puts
himself above God—or even equal
with God —who scorns the teachings
of the Alan of Galilee', who ignores
file principles of civilization and jus
tice—is a Pagan, nothing else. He:
has not heard the message of peace
and good will sung by the bells. His
only use for bells is to pattern them
into weapons of destruction.
But this last remnant of Paganism
is to be wiped out. The Christian:
church should take tremendous cour- '
age. The whole civilized world is:
fighting her battle. The soldier is j
singing as he goes to battle. The Red I

Cross is toiling cheerfully and heroic
ally. The layman is giving time and
money lavishly. Santa Claus is n
more prodigal giver than ever. The
indolent have suddenly become
workers. The rich and mighty have
become humbe in spirit. Mankind is
giving to a righteous cause, its great
est gifts-—self-denial, sacrifice and
even lifo itself. The real Christian
Renaissance is at hand. How wonder
ful it is that America is to play so
important, a part in the struggle.
What an honor it is. What pride and
selt'respect and inspiration it should
brig to all of us, at this threshhold
of another Christmas. The Babe of
Bethlehem—who became the gentle
teacher; the patient loving Man of
Sorrows—is not to "bear the cross
alone." The crown of thorns will in

end of nineteen hundred years of
opposition and unbelief is 'in sight.
Christianity must win the war. The
angel's song of "Peace on Earth,
Good Will to Men," must be re-em
phasized and joyfully accepted on
earth. The bells of Christendom will
"ring in the Christ that is to be," for
