THE LUTHERAN PIONEER.

leader of this wonderful musical organization must
have taken great pains in drilling these boys, so that
each one knows exactly at what time he must sound
his note and for what length of time. 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!”
