We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
A very common mistake of the majority of people is that they see no difference between an Edison I honograph, and a Columbia Graphophone, and you cannot make them understand the difference. Sometime ago I read an article in a daily paper, probably inserted by some representative of the Columbia Company, claiming the Graphophone as the only machine worth having, and that all others were simply ideas taken from their model, and though they were called Phonographs, were really Graphophones. I, my- self, think there is room for an argument on that point. I know it would take more than their testimony to con- vince me that such was the case, but as competition is the life of trade, I suppose we must not judge them too hastily. Did it ever occur to you that you could use your Phono- graph as a means of divine worship, in your own house, in bad weather, if you live at a distance from your church ? If not, I will tell you how I manage to hold service. First, I play Vesper Service, by Edison Quartette, (being very careful not to give the announcement on any of the records)—then, The Lord’s Prayer, by W. F. Hoolcy, at the end of which I read the notice of meetings to be held during the week, text of both morning and evening dis- course, and the words, “ The usual offering will now be taken.** This I follow with the duet, “The Lord Is My Shepherd,** by Miss Spencer and Harry MacDonough, then a violin solo, “ Come All Ye Faithful,” 7732. I follow this with one of Moody’s sermons, ending with, “O Shining Light,” by Edison Concert Band. Try this combination and you will be more than pleased with it. <r ar *r
