PASTOR DECLARES. MUSIC IS MEANS OF SAVING SOULS People Lack Vision Who Object to Use of Music in Modern Church, “Next to preaching, music is a soul saver.” the Rev. Charles H. Gunsolus, declared Sunday night at the Brightwood Congregational Church while speaking on “Music and Religion”. "Often times,” he said, “when the preacher fails, it is music that sways the hearers and convicts them of sin. It would be better if the ministry would spend more time in the study of music and its psychological effects upon the human soul than to spend so much time reading theology, “Ministers should select their hymns with considerable care so that they may be in keeping with the sermon theme,” the Rev. Gunsolus said. In discussing objections of some people to music, the Rev. Gunsolus said, “There are many people who object to the U6e of music and musical instruments in the modern church. These people lack vision and are far away from the pathway of truth. All through the ages, music has *been used to express the highest aspirations of the soul.” Modem Musicis Creation of Cnristian Religion. i "Modem music is the creation of the 'Christian religion." he said. “Its first and fundamental relations are to divine worship. Our worship should maintain the right proportion between the spiritual, the practical and the aesthetic. “The most cursory glance at the Old Testament shows the devotion of the Hebrews to the art of music. We have quite sufficient evidence that music was loved by all classes of the people and was practiced in the home and in the fields. The favorite instruments had been invented long before the institution of the national religion and its ceremonies“lt is in the Book of Chronicles that we have the fullest account of the musical arrangements of the Temple service. “David organized a great choir of 4,000 vocalists and musicians who were recruited from the Levites. Asaph was the instrumental leader. Chenanian was the vocal leader. The choral music of David was the most magnificent which has ever been employed in the worship of God. ChristiaJi Song Is a Heavenly Message "Christian song has always some like a heavenly message and with heaven power to those who were familiar with it. Savages have been disarmed by it. tumults quelled, enemies conciliated and souls saved. ’•Confucius asked. "Desire ye to know whether a land is well governed and its people have good morals? Hear then its music.’ ” The pastor discussed the growth of j ■ hurch music and gave examples of j the growth of Christianity under King Constantine by the singing of songs in public worship.
•SHOWS’ HOLD CONGREGATION Stereoptioon Views Replace Sermons on Sunday Nights. Stereopticon views of the life of Paul are taking the place of the Sunday evening sermon at the Meridian Heights Presbyterian Church. According to the Rev. T. R. White, the plan is successful in combatting the hot weather tendency to stay away from chux ih. PASTOR SAYS SOUL NEEDS REST Rev. Clouse Declares Vacation Adds to Zest of Work. That every soul needs a vacation in order to carry on its work with a new zest, was pointed out by the Rev. W. W. Clouse, pastor of King Avenue M. E. Church, j n a sermon Sunday morning. “Take a vacation, and your soul's vacation, you will find, will not end, but will take on anew zest,” he said. "SPEAK GOOD," PASTOR SAYS .Allan B. Philputt Advises Against Thoughtless Chatter. In a sermon Sunday morning on “What We Say and How We Say It." directed against harmful gossip, scan-dal-bearing and thoughtless chatter, the Rev. Allan B. Philputt, pastor of the Central Christian Church, said: "Speak of the good traits and forget the bad noes When discussing each other." GOD IS CHIEF ENGINEER Almighty Stands at Helm of World, Pastor Says. The Rev. Frederick Webb, pastor of the College Avenue Baptist Church, spoke yesterday on “God as the Chief Engineer of the World.” “Without God, this world could not function and would enter into everlasting night,” he said.

for aid. said the Rev. O. W. Flfer of the Central Ave. M. E. Church in his Sunday morning sermon on “The Harvest is White.” America's tendency to withdraw into a shell as a chosen race was compared by the pastor to the consternation of Christ's j disciples when they learned that they j were to labor among the Samaritans, , despised enemies.

PHONOGRAPH AID MAN IS BUSY C, E, Mortimore Guarantees Ail of His Work, There is no need to have a scratching, harsh motor in your phonograph, for all that It needs is a little adjust ing in many cases. C. E. Mortimore. 821 Massachusetts Ave., is an expert phonograph repair man and he guarantees all of his work to be perfect or the customer need not pay for having the work done. In his shop he also takes phono graphs, records, string instruments, pianos; in fact, all kinds of musical instruments, and sells them or exchanges them. The record exchange is very popular, especially in this day of jazz tunes, when people soon tire of records and desire to exchange them for new ones; this Is done for a very nominal sum. Mortimore has had a wide experience In the repair of musical instruments, and his careful study of the subject, together with this long experience, enables him to have a large and constantly growing clientele; numerous music stores and shops employ him to take care of their repair work in different departments. He attributes his success in this line to the fact that he has specialized in this particular branch of repair. “Musical instruments,” said Mortimore, "are very delicate Instruments and require great care in their repair; their alignment is very sensitive and repair work of an inferior type really often does more harm than good to the instrument.”^

BUSINESS SLUMPS BUI NO MAJOR ' DEPRESSION SEEN Trend of Prices Is Manifested By Law of Supply and , Demand, j By DR. LEWIS HANEY, Director Bureau Business Reach, New York University. Written for United Financial. NEW YORK, July 9.—The collapse of speculative markets during the last month, as Illustrated by the course of security and wheat prices, has been so violent and uncertainty as to the business future has reached such a point that a little careful analysis may help. The doctors disagree. The Harvard service clings to an overripe optimism, while Babson tries a last minute leap to extreme pessimism. I will say at once that I think the stock market is partly right, as It usually is. The outlook Is not so good as it was. But just as an excessive boom was checked in the early year, so there Is reason to conclude that we will now have no excessive reaction. Stocks are near the bottom now. since most issues show attractive returns at present prices. Supply and Demand The good old law of supply and demand Is the fundamental thing. The trend of prices is the most important manifestation of this law, and Is of vital Interest to business men. The facts are that there is overproduction in a number of important industries, and heavy imports. I need only mention petroleum, tires, cotton seed oil, automobiles, wheat and copper. On the other hand, buyers have shown unwillingness to pay higher prices, and export demand Is weak. Agricultural purchasing power has Veen curtailed by lower prices op grains and hogs. In fact, prices are declining on the average. For three months wholesale prices have gone down and in June the decline was more pronounced in general than in any month since the deflation of 1920 21. Wages are ri3lng and are badly out of line with prices, thus reducing prices. Increasing labor difficulty Is likely, as employers come to seek wage reductions. Low farm prices always beget a crop of measures seeking to get “soft money” or easy credit for farmer* and to swat the railway. There Is now a serious threat of unwise legislation in these directions, which is partly j responsible for the hesitancy In bus! nc ss. To offset these adverse factors It j is urged that business is now fun damentally sound as to credit and inventories And undoubtedly things are much better than in 1920. Not j much inflation remains in agriculture I and none In mercantile lines. The railways are in a fairly stable and | profitable condition. Ample credit is I available In the Federal Reserve sys tern, and the interest rate on good commercial paper in New York is only 5 per cent, against 7 and 8 per cent in 1920.
Unfilled Demand* Also there are still some unfilled demands, notably in building and construction. "Purchasing power” (not demand) is high, with full employment of labor, high wages and relatively low cost of living. As to prices, some comfort Is gained ■from the consideration that they are much lower than in 1920, and probably cannot fall as far as In 1920-21. It may be added that with cost ot living so much lower than wages, the advance in wages can be easily .checked, and perhaps the necessary adjustments can be made without serious labor disturbance. Oviousy. however, the optimists are on the defensive. Most of their arguments now are negative and aim to show why conditions should not get much, if any. worse. The most that can be said is that the future Is not certain to be bad. My Judgment is that business will soon settle to a level which will be lower than that attained this spring, and continue on a fairly steady course while the readjustments still necessary are being made. European affairs and foreign trade are unsettled, and our oil, wheat, automobile and textile industries will have to be deflated. These readjustments, dating
Many Vacationists Plan American Trips
Vacation time has arrived; for many it means only a very short outing, while for others It means a lake cruise or an ocean voyage. ‘Since the war, however, there has been a decided impetus toward vacationing In our own country. Many people have found here scenery that rivaled what they had seen abroad. Richard A. Kurtz, manager of the foreign department of the Union Trust Company, takes care of all details incident to a journey for his clientele whether their' trip Is to take them to foreign lands or to domestic places. Letters of credit, foreign exchange tours, steamship tickets are arranged by him so that the responsibility is taken from the traveler enterely as far as seeing after details of his trip
from war conditions, will take a good many months. There Is still the possibility of an Inflationary period being begun, with advancing prices and false prosperity. However, the brakes are set against inflation, and unless bankers and politicians conspire to begin It, it need not come. Business has slumped and will slump further, hut no major depression Is in sight, and by the end of 1923, if (1) European conditions improve and (2) Congress passes no radical laws, the necessary readjustments should make sufficient progress to allow real improvement to begin. WATERQUPSI HEALTH AID
Burt Company Has Wide Sale of Unwaxed Container, Fewer and fewer employes are costing their firms less and less in time lost through illness; much of this has come about through the precautions employers have taken to safeguard the health of their employes. When a regular employe Is off work their is a serious loss; even the added expense of a substitute Is not the end, for the regular employe was trained In the routine of hls or her work and con sequently was able to do more and better work. Because of the staggering loss in errploye’s time from influenze, grippe, quinzy, pneumonia—or in many cases just common colds —all spread through the common drinking glass—employers have been led to Install paper cups. According to R. C. Hiller of the Hiller Office Supply Company, 26-28 S Pennsylvania St., the sanitary drinking cup put out by the F. N. Rurt Company has many exclusive advantages. These cups are made, packed and dispensed by automatic machinery under scrupulous sanitary conditions. The cups are pure white —they are made of unwaxed paper and are made conical. They fit Into the hand easily and are of ample ca parity for an ordinary drink. The fact that they are unwaxed permits the water to reach the person's Ups untainted by any taste, and because of their scientific construction they will hold- hot water as well as cold. These are finding a wide usage here in Indianapolis as well as many other cities in the United States where a container and cups are placed In of fires, halls, factories and public buildings.
REUPHOLSTERING HELPS HOMES More Attention Is Paid to Furnishing Details. More and more attention is given to the beauty of details in home furnishing. There must be harmony of design, material and color in the room. One thing that has aided development In harmonization is that furniture re pair shops have made a specialty of re-upholstering or making over furniture to harmonize with the room. J. W. Oarmer. 857 E. Pratt St., makes a specialty of this sort of work His years of experience have made him an authority. He uses only the best materials. Because of his expert knowledge and superior work manship the work that he turns out Is of a very high grade. "Satisfied customers have been m> biggest asset,” said Darmer. "We take great care with all the details connected with our work and build our work from the foundation up in a careful, precise way. We take great care with springs, securely knotting all springs in order that their life may be prolonged without becoming weak or wobbly: we use only the best grade of grass, moss or hair filling, so that the outer covering will not be cut or damaged with constant use from the friction with the filling. “Tapestry or material used for covering upholstered furniture must cut by a man who Is expert In this line of work In order to insure an accurately fitting piece of work. It takes a great deal of material for an overstuffed suite, much more than the average person realizes, and for this reason the cost of upholstered furniture is more: hut the satisfaction and comfort more than make up for the added cost.”
