THE SILENT ORGAN.
Much controversy lias taken place regarding the silent Town Hall organ, but it «=till remains silent. Just wliat is the difficulty? Is the organ so large that the only organists that can play it must demand large salaries? A pipe organ is not new to myself, and if the City Council cannot obtain an organist, then I offer right now to give free of charge for one month one recital per week, the conditions being that they be broadcast for the benefit of those unable to attend and that the collections be handed to some deserving charity. The attendance for the opening recital will be a record one and will continue thereafter. Ido not state this because I overrate niv ability, but because I know the class of music I would render. In conclusion, may I state the "well-known phrase: " 'Tis far nobler to have less ability and the desire to serve than to have greater ability and allow it to remain dormant." LEX MONK.
