THE
CARPENTER ORGANS.
On page (192) will be found a rich and beautiful illustration of one of the world-famous Carpenter Organs. The secret of success in my business lies in personal supervision of the details of that business. The superlative excellence of the Carpenter Action is due to the vigilant personal oversight of the inventor. The sweetness and evenness of tone, combined with the durable and massive elegance of external finish in these organs, recommend then to all lovers of music. At the Worcester works (the largest Action Manufactory in the world) more than 100 different styles are made, ranging in price from $20 to $2,000. The moral and religious influence of a sweet-toned organ in a family is incalculable. The subdued harmonies and mellow persuasiveness of organ-music tranquilize and elevate the whole nature.
When through storied windows bright
Falls the dim religious light,
Enhuing all the air with Iris sweet,
Then with mellow thunder deep
Let the ocean-throated organ speak;
Let its rolling billows sweep
Through our souls with might, with might!
’Tis not the voice of puny man
That issues from these Pipes of Pan,
Nor yet some yearning spirit of the air—
Rather we seem to hear from out the skies,
Now low, now loud, through opened gates of Paradise,
The deep-toned viol, and the golden trumpet’s blare,
And far hosannas from the innumerable caravan!
