The Influence of Music

THE following incident has been sent us by a worker, who has been supplied with Scriptures for the soldiers and refugees: “I thank you for your letter and Gospels of St. John, which I have given in the Canadian Hospital at S―, and they were glad indeed to have them. One of the soldiers told me a most wonderful experience. They had all been under heavy fire, and after the battle they were relieved, and given five days to have a rest. In wandering about one of the villages they came to a church, and one of their number went to the organ and began playing the old familiar hymns. This attracted many, and the church was soon full of English and French soldiers. On looking round, the player noticed that nearly all were on their knees in tears. ‘No speaking to them could have done it,’ he said, ‘and I know it was of the Holy Spirit.’”
“God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform.”
