Then, too, it must have taken weeks to test out countless num- bers of shells to find just the tones needed. At first the patient missionary was satisfied to have his boys simply play the tune of the chorals and songs, but by this time his brown pupils have attained such a degree of efficiency that they play four-part music. Those who have heard this orchestra say that its music is much like that of a great pipe-organ. The governor of New Guinea has had his attention called to this remarkable musical organization and has ex- pressed the wish to hear it some day. Missionary Zahn’s orchestra leads the singing of his congregation of natives. Rev. R. Taeuber, chair- man of the Iowa Synod’s Board of Foreign Mis- sions, who had an opportunity to hear this unique orchestra about half a year ago, when he was visit- ing the field, says: “When I heard the notes of the glorious choral ‘Praise to the Lord, the Almighty,’ I could hardly hold back my tears. Here a new Israel is blowing conch-trumpets to the glory of its God, our God!” BOOK TABLE. Die Abendschule. Osternummer. Louis Lange Publish- ing Co., St. Louis, Mo. 40 pages. Price, 25 cts.
