RUSSIANS MUSICIANS COMING

TO LEVIN

"Spiritual, magical and artistic •nipulses from Orpheus have been couiiiiunicated to the world tor ages.. He was venerated by the Greeks and ;e----garded as the ancestor of poetry, music, and art from the point of view of Divine Truth. prpheus was contemporary with Muses. India was then plunging into a period ot decadence and Assyria through Babylonian tyranny was trampling on Asia. Egypt somewhat resisted this blasting wave by reason of the retention of the purtv of motives of her priests and Pharoahs Israel was on the eve of the Monotheistic system of religion. Greece, which in the past had been peopled by white races. Celts and Scythians, was being invaded by Indians, Egyptians and Phoenicians. The mixing of races produced a fruitful and versatile people. The struggle of the sexes ins symbolised in the struggle between the worshippers of the sun and the moon, and it was only by the perfect fusion of the sexes, symbolised in the unity, of these two religions, brought about by Orpheus, that perfect equilibrimi and a high civilisation was attained. The sun represent the male- and the moon the female. The worshippers of the latter, devolved to bestial practices, to bloody -sacrifices, to carn.il freaks, to dances in which appeared the expressions of man's lowest iiatir.v Their services on the mountains resoi."ed themselves into Suturanlias suitably to his Satanic Majesty. Here tho divinity of Orpheus stepped in : he was the genius for whom the muses had been weeping. He was the son of .1 priestress of Appollo. he came to siiur and play to his people and with a reductive personality and a melodious voice captured their hearts.

"Orpheus still reigns over music and art and on every available opportunity pours his force into it. making it a powerful factor for the uplifting ol mankind. This should be remembered by all and advantage should dp taken of the presence of Leo, Jan and Mischel Cherniavsky to share in those powerful forces which is claimed is shed on us per medium of great artists.

These Russian artists will visit °- vin on Wednesday. Maroh 31. Thev carry theic own concert grand piano. There is every reason to predict a record house as great interest is being 'isplayed in the Cherniavsky's coming visit.
