Preface All men are vitally and equally concerned in the true answer to the inevitable question as to the Cause of causes. The human mind cannot rest in mere phenomena, or in secondary agencies. The heart of man refuses to satisfy its undying hunger for a personal God and for personal immortality with anything short of reality. If in any art, science, philosophy, or supposed revelation there is valid help to be had toward meeting the imperative demand of human nature for absolute truth and imperishable love, it will find ardent welcome from every sane and candid person who thinks below the surface of life. The beautiful art and exact science of music promise such aid for the illumination and guidance heavenward of the soul of man, forever restless till it finds rest in God. This art has long claimed to be a fitting medium of communication between Deity and Humanity.
