Rfiflllllls instances related by his father, the late Captain Ronald CampbelLhe captivated his audi- ence with stirring tales o: tlicae early days when Bmnmerside was a busy shipping centre and when four-muted schooner-a and sailing

of craft of every kind were riding at

anchor in the harbour waiting their turn for a berth at the wharf. The shipyards rang with the noise of the hammer as the old wooden vessels were made ready for sea. Many famous ships were built at Bimi-mersidc. by such shlpbuilders at the Popes, Lefurgeys, Yeos, and

The main cargoes w be taken to the old land in those days were oats and potatoes. With the advent of railways and steainahipa, the shipbuilding indus- try began to disappear and wo- ducs was carried by railway, a faster method of transportation, Bllt there are still some old four- masters. a happy reminder of those busy times.

The Summerside harbour, al- though much quieter than formerly with negard to shipping. is still at-

a "tourist centre and such steamers as the S. S. Gaspeaia and other: of that class call regularfv during the months leaving visitors who enjoy the wann waters oi the bay for bathing.

Handicrafts For Montreal Exli i b i ti o n

Some very fine specimen of silk weavzhg are being forwarded from Prince County to the Handicraft lhthibition, which is taking plaoe during the week of May 14th at Montreal on the S. S. Ascania. one of the Cunard liners. The exhibi- tion is being held under the auspi- ces oi the Canadian Handicraft Guild.

The silk weaving which is a beau- tiful example of handic-‘rft is the work of Mrs. J. -N. A. Gallant of Abrams Village, near Egmont Bay, Prince County.

The work. which includes several runners and a cushion 120;, is very exquisite and a pcrfeet blending of colours and designs.

The worker has shown very good taste in her choice of design and arrangement oi colour.

lVirs. Gallant is very skilled in weaving of all kinds and some of her cloths woven from home grown flax are very lovely. I

The art of weaving which has been handed down from generation to generation in this Acadia set- tlement on Prince Edward Island. is still carried on and many beauti- ful pieces of wont find their way to Montreal and are highly com- mented upon by the judges. Every eflort is being made to preserve this branch of handicraft in the Ae- adla villages-S

stern religious atmosphere of the New England colonies did more for the beginnings of American music than did the gay "cavaliers. Out" of the serious Psalm singing of the Puritans grew the singing schools, the real foundation ‘of musical education in the colonies.

The ‘earliest important musical society developed from a singing class begun by William Billings in 1774: It was the Stoughion (Mass)

Musical Society and it still exists.’

The first permanent body oi orchestral players, the Philhar- monic Society, was formed in Bos- ton in 1798. and the celebrated Boston Symphony Orchestra was organized in 1881. It is but one of many great orchestras throughout the country. '

The Metropolitan Opera House in New York opened in 1883 and. for many years the greatest sing-

ers in Eurpoe were induced to per- , form. Today, however, a very large -

number of the artists are Ameri- can born.

At the present time practically every city of importance in the United States contains one or more conservatories of music.

In indicating the various agen- cies for the shaping of musical appreciation Mrs. Henderson made

special mention of the writers, whose contributions to musical

magazines and to the daily prcss have influenced the taste of the American public to a degree un- paralleled in any other country. ‘The public libraries too, have fine collections of musical literature as well as the printed works of the great masters.

Some oi i-hc notable American composers are:'-

William Billings, who composed mostly hymn tunes.

Oliver Holden, also a hymn writer and composer of “Coron- ation.”

Lowell Mason, who came from the South.

Stephen C. Foster who wrote the most famous examples of the folk songs of the plantation type.

(The United States lacks the wealth of material oi folk music that abounds in European coun- tries. There are but two American types, the music of the Indians and that of the Negroes).

John K. Palgne, earliest com- poser in large instrumental forms and leading organist during his lifetime.

Edward Alexander MacDowell. 1861-1908, who has been awarded the highest rank among American born composers.

Ethelbert Nevin, 1862-1001, wide- ly known for his songs which have a truly poetic character.

In opera the work of Paine, Chadwick, Damrosche, dc Koven and Victor Herbert has become famous as has the work of the cantata writers. Dudley Buck rnd d. C. D. Parker.

Of the present day writers, Pearl L. Curran is particularly brilliant, Ernest Charles is notable, and Raebach, Anne Stratton Miller. Winthrop Rogers, Huntington Ter- ry, Frederick Hart and many oth- ers are also very fine.

SPLENDED WORK

are admonished to give proof of our discipleship by the perform- ance of acts of pity and loveand sympathy towards our sick and suffering brethern. So that the in- sfitutlon of Hospital Sunday under the aegis of the church requires no apology. ‘ '

Heal the Sick_

Herc, in the words of our text, we ‘see that our Lord actually makes caring for the sick a duty of Christian discipleship‘. He had called His disciples to Him, and‘ had charged" them to go out into the world andto publish to all men the good news of the Gospel. And as His first word to them was “Preach the Gospel," so His next word is “Heal the Sick)! He is the Great Physician of the soul. but the many ills which these mortal bodies of ours are heirs to gives Himcoi-iccm also. And while He never puts the needs of the body before the needs of the soul, whiic. indeed, He makes it a very defin- ite part cf His teaching that the things of thc soul muff, always take precedence of _the things of the body, nevertheless a very con- siderable part of His gracious mis- sion to the world wa staken up in

alleviating the bodily ills which. every day of His life, presented themselves to Him for His help

and healing.

Ncw my object this morning is that our minds and hearts may be stirred to a greater interest in the work of our hospitals. As professed followers of Jesus Christ it should always be our care to seek out fitting ways of following our Mas- ter. And I will go so far as to say that I d0 not think there is any better line along which we may achieve this than by making a larger and more sympathetic place in our hearts for those who have been called to bear the cross of sickness and suffering, and for those institutions called hospitals that minister to thcm. Our hospi- tals can draw forth from us in a special way this Christian. senti- ment. .

The Church and the Hospital

Hospitals for the care of the sick, it should not be forgotten, are a direct outgrowth of the Christian religion. The church has a closc fellowship with the hospital. And there is one particular aspect of the hospital that brings it into the inner circle of true religion-the hospital endeavours to provide at the time of iii-health and pain the comfort and quiet of a home. to many whose homes cannot meet the‘ needs that are thrust upon them. The modem hospital has almost perfectly solved the prob- lem of supplying the blessings of domestic comfort, attention, peace and quietness to those who, under the calamity of sudden or serious sickness, mnnot get them in any other way. That is one of the things about our local hospital that strongly appeals to me, its character of homelikeneas. We value our ‘homes. But especially when sickness comes do we value them, the soothing effect of the familiar surroundings, and the presence of those we know around curbed. But . there are many homes, big and comfortable. that are unable to cope with the needs brought about "by, say, a serious accident, or the need for an oper- ation, or something of the _kind. And in such a case we have in our hospital so much‘ of a real aub- stitute for home, that home com- forts and borne peace are quite uninterrupted. It would be a fine thing if we thought. of the hospital more in this light. ‘lb regard it as a home for the sick who have no home. and for thole whose homes are ill-fitted for care and cure in time of need.

Our hospital claims not only our uiotights when some friend has been taken there, not only on Hos- pital Biinday, but it claims to be regardedasabrauchofallour homes. read! to take the place of home when home fails in the hour of necessity: it claims our constant thought; it claims our visits.

whether we have Mendrtbers or

that he and she

not; it claims our little gifts of fruit and flowers and books and magazines, and this, that, and the other thing that will help to make it bright and homelike for those who suffer there. You and I can- not heal the sick by any gift of apostolic power or by scientific skill-that is not the_ meaning of the text as it applies to you and me. But you and I can at least bear a. part in their healing by d0- ing what in us lies to make the hospital a branch of home. Thus we can find a field. a beautiful, helpful field, for our Christian discipleship when Jesus says to us "Heal the Sick." . Danger of Generalizing

Then another odd thought that may help to bring us into harmony wit-h the text, and with the hos- pital, is this. The hospital's work is to care for the individual. There is always the danger of our gener- alizing when we ought to particu- iarise. Generalizing, too often means carelessness and indiffer- ence when applied to the thought of duty. The world has grown so full of one kind of institution and organization and another, that we are apt to think more in terms of the mass than of the individual. And to my simple way of thinking. that is one of the things that arc getting the world into trouble in these difficult days. You remember how the love and interest of our Lord Jesus Christ always took the individual turn. It was not the multitude. but the single person that drew forth the best that tvas in Him. Some of the choicest bits of His heavenly teaching are the records of how He dealt with in- dividuals, some oi the most beau- tiful features of His divine char- acter are brought to light as He deals with one man or one woman at a time, face to face. And so, I say. too many people aregiven to look at the work done by our hos- pital in the bulk, instead of re- garding it as cure and comfort given to individual cases. And by so doing, our interest in the hos- pital is sure to suffer.
