Musical Instrument's Part
in Religious Services

JULY 31, 1926
Among those who were lured to church again,
solely through the appeal of a Hohner mouth
organ, was a man who had not been inside a
religious edifice in twenty years. He confessed
that his sole purpose of again being united
with religion was the love of music and a de-
sire to learn to play the harmonica in the band.
Two girls who had strayed from the fold of
religious life were attracted to the Messiah
Church by the desire to learn to play the har-
monica and to join the orchestra, instructed by
the pastor. Reverend Harman is advocating
the use of musical instruments and the love of
music as a factor for promoting the religious
welfare of his congregation, one of the largest
of the denomination in the city. He believes
that co-operation of the dealers with the
churches will aid in stimulating the business and
in bringing about a good work in spiritual
progress of humanity.
