"--_The Writer (Boston)._
The Music Life and How to Succeed in it.
"These ideas are worthy of attention from students and workers in all
branches of art, science, and literature, who mean to be serious and
earnest."--_Boston Transcript._
"Exceedingly valuable because of its broad impartiality in its
exposition of truth, its depth of understanding, and, above all, for
its earnest desire, manifest in every word, to lead music students to
a love for music itself.... It abounds in high artistic thought and
insight."--_The Boston Times._
CHAPTER I.
WHAT THE FACE TELLS.
"And the light _dwelleth_ with him."--_Daniel II: 22._
Once a master said to a child:
"If thou wilt study diligently, learn, and do good unto others, thy
face shall be filled with light."
So the child studied busily, learned, and sought how she could do good
unto others. And every little while she ran to the glass to see if the
light was coming. But at each time she was disappointed. No light was
there. Try as faithfully as she would, and look as often as she would,
it was always the same.
I do not know if she doubted the master or not; but it is certain she
did not know what to make of it. She grieved, and day after day her
disappointment grew. At length she could bear it no longer, so she
went to the master and said:
"Dear master, I have been so diligent! I have tried to learn and to do
good unto others.
