VALUE OF MUSIC
DR. LYON SAYS FAREWELL
"Before leaving Wellington, I want to say how much I have enjoyed the competitions," said Dr. J. Lyon, ;of London, vocal and instrumental adjudicator, today, "My aim all along has been to try and help, by kindly advice, competitors who are striving to make the art of music a living joy. Not only to themselves but to all who come in contact with them. Many of them already have an understanding of the language of music—which is the most elevating, consoling, -end comforting of all the arts. 'Music doth withdraw our minds from earthly cogitations; lifteth up our spirits unto the heavens— making them light and celestial.'
"Let me go away," said Dr. Lyon, "feeling that I have hurt none, thas many have profited, and that I leave behind me some trace of having worked amo"ng you."
