"There's music in all things to men who have ears," and if the face and the vote of Joseph Parry were not there hla spirit touched a new, a deeper chord In one's beart than it had ever done before.

Mr. Davies, XJlamorgas. County Council), (secretary Penarth Free Church Council). The conductor of the processional singing was Mr. Tom Stephens (Rhond-da Glee Society), and the organist and choirmaster at the services was Mr.

Thus pouring out its sorrow and grief in song, the procession wended its way slowly and silently towards Christ church, the temple where Joseph Parry had prayed and sung and worshipped for many a long year. The service was simplicity Itself. Chopin's "Marcht Funebre" gave It a tone, and the noble. lesson from the fifteenth of First Corinthians, a still grander funeral and a prayer Instinct with devotion, affection, and hope by the minister the Rev.

And a tearful eye was turned toward Mrs.

Joseph Parry and her daughters, who sat dumb-stricken with grief in front of the loving remains of him who had sheltered them from "the stormy blast'! up to that moment. "ELVET'S" TRIBUTE. All eyes were then directed toward! the pulpit, whence were to proceed; words of comfort and consolation from God's minister the Rev. H. El vet Lewis, of London.

In the couse of his address, delivered in English, he extolled the quietness and simplicity of Dr. Parry' character. He was a true born son of Wales. Fortune compelled him at the -very beginning to work his way strenuously without any golden favours to help him. They might bury a painter, a preacher, or a poet, but never a musician.

The songs which Dr. Parry had created would net only live in the memory of the present generation but lead up, to higher and sweeter thoughts in the generations to folllw. How could they say that their brother was dead when, perhaps, for centuries to come tbe hills and valleys of the coun try would resound with his music? Men and women would gather together In the mountains and valleys of Gla morgan; they would gather together among the mountains of North Wales, and wherever they met there was one hymn, J'Aberswltb; which would be sung. They could not bury the musician. He would continue to live in the music he had created.muslc would gladden and cheer those whom he left be-hnd, and which would inspire thousands of the sons and daughters of Wales -in years -to come.

It was true, as Tennyson said, "that what is built in music seems to be built so airly that it is not built at all, and, therefore, will live for ever." Their stone pillars could crumble to dust, but true music remained an eternal maxim for the soul of man.
