I have found mine in music. In her poem “Remember”, Rowena Cheney, urging the reader to keep in mind that “nothing that truly lives can ever die”, tells us “Though his hand should rav­ age, one by one, All singing strings, all instru­ ments on earth That ever drew a song from music's breast, Music would not be dead”. And if you will join the Magic Circle with me, you too, perhaps, will find this imperishable beauty will provide you with sustenance for daily living.

Here on Sunday eve­ ning at the hour of twilight, the greatest orchestras are gathered, on records, from every quarter of the globe to perform for an unseen audience. The stranger to our midst, upon entrance, wonders at the quiet ring of empty chairs waiting on the centre of the floor beneath the soft glow of dimmed lights. But as he watches the members of the Magic Circle slip silently in, one by one, the quietude is suddenly filled with singing strings, and the hour of charm has begun. • It may be a song of love from “Blossom Time”, a gay piece of romance from one of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, o fthe sweep­ ing chords of a Beethovan sym­ phony. For each one of us that music brings vastly different as­ sociations, memories of childhood when life was untroubled and the complexities of modern living un­ dreamed of, scores and events filled with happiness or perhaps grief. On wings of song our present self goes out to greet our past, and finds hope for the future.

We are too liable to a line of thought that regards this interval Of our lives as only temporary, a thing suddenly begun and quickly passed.
