Says Music in Church- Has
Important Place.
Music as the handmaiden of religion,
'was the theme of a sermon delivered
by Rev. Canon Plumptre in St. Jarfies
Cathedral, Toronto, at a service held
in commemoration of St. Cecilia% Day.
The Church, he declared, was built on
music. It was a power which might
lItt man to the throne of God.. It had
been: said that if we could not answer
atheism with argument we could
smother it with a. song. Special music
was arranged' for the service, the
choir, under the direction of Dr. Al-
bert Ham, singing Milton's ode to
voice and verse, "Blest Pair of Sirens,
pet to music in 1887 by Sir I•Iubert

turn gleam and twinkle en each separ-

sun does not penetrate there are
slops of frozen snow on lawn and
path. The leavese of evergreens are.
outlined with delicate fringes of frost,
and every treestem shines in glittering
ice, which falls with a little tinkle as
the sun rises higher. The somber
beauty -of fir trees is intensified by the
snow, but the sprinkling is so light
that the grave of beeches is free from
it, and already begins to show la its
depths that purple tinge that turns
later to a deep pinkish blush, when the

er is .beautiful, too, with its
morning mists and red sunsets, the
sharp detail of its leafless boughs, the
Ioneliues of a frozen landscape. There
!is an. exuberant joy in the air, a joy
'that belongs peculiarly to winter•, and
that would seem to spring from the
!vigorous and courageous heart of na
turee, making great peeparatious in
all its wide domains. And so great.
are the pleasures of anticipation that
one would not hasten, by one hour,
that brays and patient building up, and
unfolding of bud and blossom for the
spring.
In honor and in loving memory of
the late Queen Mother, a service was
held .in St. James' concurrently with
the royal funeral. In making this an-
nouncement Caon Plumptre said "The
Empire is in morning for one greatly
honored and beloved, who has passed
from us,tbe Queen,Mother. This service
will be held in an effort to express
the deepness and reality of our loyalty
and affection for her who has -so sud-
denly been. taken from our midst."
Taking his text -from the Psalms of
David: "I will open my dark sayings
upon the harp," Canon Plumptre des-
cribed music as a medium whereby we
might tell those things of the heart
which otherwise would be untenable.
It was at once the most human and the
most divine of all the arts. It express-
ed these subtle intonations of the
human triad which were beyond the
realms of speech: Music was more
Dials a mere expression, it was a^ re-
velation. Not only were the deepest
aspirations of the soul regarding God
and universe expressed in music, but
through It the Divine—spoke to the
human.
Referring briefly to the old legend
of the martyr, St. Cecilia, who,it was
'raid, hod called the angels down from
Heaven, Canon Plumptre pointed to
the effect of music on Biblical history.
"The Ohurch," he declared, "is built
on music. We are a singing people
and our way is the way of song. In
keeping this day we consecrate" our-
selves to all that is best in music. We
look forward to the day when earth's
feeble melodies may be Joined to the
glorious • chorus of the choirs in Heav-
en above."

There are many millions of acres
of these fertile lands lying idle in set-
tled districts and within 10 and 15
milesof existing railways!' The total
acreage of privately owned, unoccu-
pied lands is estimated at 14,00,000
acres. The Natural Resources Inte:'i-
gence Service of the Dept. of the In-
terior, Otta ,a, issues lists' of suc1r
lands, giving brief particu:are, such
as location, prices, terms and owners?
names and addresses. These Iia are

designated school lands: The area of
school lands surveyed in Saskatchewan
to ,Tan. 1; 1923, was 3,942,000 acres, of
which area 1,500,000' acres have been
sold at the average price of $17.50 per
acre, , This leaves about 2,440,000
acres of surveyed school lands unsold.
In addition to the homesteads and
vacant lands, further oppoftunitie's are
afforded the homeseeker in many im-
proved farms which can be purchased
at a price that in the opinion of many
land authorities is better buying than
is that of vacant land. During the
period of high grain price; there was
a tendency on the part of many farm-
ers to go extensivey into cereal' crops.
Within the . past few years, However,
there :has been ' a decided change, in .
this respect. The farmer isnow seek-
ing to'diversify his production, going
more into live stock rind dairying, '
with a , consequent reduction of his
land acreage. As a rest't, much im-
proved land may be purchased in well
settled districts, and close to markets,
at very reasonable prices.
