Show MUSIC AND BUSINESS the general impression Is 13 that is an accomplishment w vich ilch only ministers to tile pleasure of people hat flat there is no practical significance whatever attaching to it the experience of it the past week in salt lake city will have ft a tendency to make many people change their minds from ancient times music has always been a great teallie in fix the armies ot of tile the world wo ald it lias has supplied the time tor for tho the marching step it lies has supplied the enthusiasm in part which has carried men up tip to danger and death in battle the thought ot of having tho the music 0 oc f the organ and choir in the tabernacle was one ch jelly of hospitality that the guests here aiom abroad might be entertained but we believe that no silver speeches ever had the effect that t hose delivered in the tabernacle had and the effect was not due to the speeches 5 pec clies thenis themselves elves but to tho the effect which the music had upon the speakers and upon the audience and the file thought which follows a contemplation of oc tho the subject Is that after all music Is a divine something which lias has a direct influence on the souls and the minds of 0 men avid and that it ought to be studied as a a practical science to bo be mcd for the furtherance of oc causes which in themselves are altogether practical anything that can influence the human heart soften it and exalt it must be ot of good and that music in the tabernacle had the direct effect of softening ening the henits beai Is of the men who spoke and the beat is of the mentho men who listened in that great structure on art wednesday and thursday nights the speeches were ere better because of 0 the music and I 1 because of 0 the music the effect of the upon the minds of 0 tile the listen ets cis was and exalted one of the speakers at the banquet thought an entertainment ought to bo be gotten up and the tabernacle its orlan organ and choir le be enlisted in tho the cause ot of silver wo ivo are free ace to say gay that it if there could bo be a tabernacle like this one here on all organ like the one in the tabernacle and a choir like the choir that sings in tho the tabernacle in each great city or 0 the united states and in such a place with such accompaniments thero there could every night bo be delivered two or three or four ringing silver speeches with music between the speeches those cities would le be comer ted before the sumant was out there would be a grand rush to attend ot at ferst through curiosity then would come conviction and in a few weeks silver would be all the rage rag emetic among the people it I 1 Is an all experiment which shrewd men ought to consider consid tr it Is an experiment which politicians who have charge ot of the k great reat political parties ought to con B ider elder for instance wo we to do not believe that there is 19 a city in tho the union that could d not be converted to one or the other oilier of 0 tile hie great political parties jf if either one were to build a great structure supply it with an organ orean and choir and with some harps and trumpets and a d have it understood that every night there would bo be tile tho regular music muto to in that structure and that the intervals between tins tile music there would bo be two or three terse lofty thoughtful and epee speeches ches delivered in favor at 0 the party parly that li a oil an experiment worth trying lien would wo uld not thin think when they went to hear the conceit ot of anything but the conceit but unconsciously the music would rould have the effect upon tham I 1 to make their hearts re responsive Apon sivo to ap and conversion would follow we wa believe that one of 0 the chief secrets of mr moods moodys success as an evangelist was through the singing of mr air sankey we believe the same principle be used in polities politics as well cs as religion because mens hearts harts h arts are so 0 o responsive to I 1 such influences that th thy thoy y cannot resist them it was not without thought that the men who controlled the catholic church during the filth sixth and up to the twelfth century of 0 the existence of that church built great cathedrals made them Jin impressive in fix every nay that coull could be done by architecture anil and decoration because the very picture presented on oil entering one of 0 these magnificent nt cathedrals of 0 the world has a direct tendency to soften the hearts of men that has an effect upon the eye such as stately solemn music has upon the car and we believe it could be used in politics as well its as religion as well to advance a political aa a religious creed and we believe tho the effect or of tills this last meeting here in salt alt lako lake upon the members mc abers ot of the conference will bo be such that nihon six months hence they ar are where the best place to hold a c convention lotven Is they will answer if the tabernacle in silt salt lipka lake city with its organ gan and choir can bo be secured there Is no other place on earth to compare with it |
