Take My Son A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art.

When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.

About a month later, just before Christmas, there was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands.

He said, 'Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art.' The young man held out this package. 'I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.'

The father opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. 'Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift.'

The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.

The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings and many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.

On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel. 'We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?'

There was silence.

Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, 'We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one.'

But the auctioneer persisted. 'Will somebody bid for this painting? Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?'

Another voice angrily said, 'We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Goghs, the Rembrandts. Get on with the real bids!'

But still the auctioneer continued. 'The son! The son! Who'll take the son?'

Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. 'I'll give $10 for the painting. 'Being a poor man, it was all he could afford.

'We have $10, who will bid $20?' 'Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters.' '$10 is the bid, won't someone bid $20?'

The crowd was becoming angry. They didn't want the picture of the son.

They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.

The auctioneer pounded the gavel. 'Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!'

A man sitting on the second row shouted, 'Now let's get on with the collection!'

The auctioneer laid down his gavel. 'I'm sorry, the auction is over.'

'What about the paintings?'

'I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings.

The man who took the son gets everything!'

God gave His son 2,000 years ago to die on the cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is: 'The son, the son, who'll take the son?'

Because, you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything.

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL

HAVE ETERNAL LIFE...THAT'S A FATHER’S LOVE

Blessings to you all,

Greetings from your Finance Committee Chair!

By Brett Landis, Finance Committee Chair

It is June and once again the seasons are changing. Many families have schedules that are

changing and new routines to find for the summer months. I’ll be up front and ask that you

also make sure Aldersgate remains a part of your summer routine as well. Our finances below illustrate positive financial trends,

and I believe these are directly related to the all of the wonderful programs and services that our church is able to provide. Thank

you for your role in their success. Let’s keep it going through the summer months!

Our financial overview below shows that we remain in a better position this Spring than we were the last Spring of 2014. This is a

12 month view, year over year, and it reveals that we have reduced expenses and increased our income from the prior 12 month

period. This is a positive trend and we want this to continue through the next 4 month period as well, carrying us through the

summer. Also on a positive trend, our contributions this year are just slightly ahead of last year. It may be less than 1% ahead, but

it is a great reflection of the energy we all see in the halls of our church!

In May, it was great to see the tulips “bloom” in the hallway near the sanctuary. These special tulips were decorated with the

blessings that were noted on the leaves from our “Fund the Blessing” campaign last fall. I hope everyone took a few minutes to

read some of the blessings that were shared, and also feel the positive impact these programs and activities have on so many

people, not just in our congregation, but also in the community. What a blessing, thank you!

Aldersgate is a significant place where disciples are made.

It finally feels like summer is here! That was a rough winter for this “southern transplant”.

On May 31, we welcome our new confirmands for the year, and this event is easily my favorite one on the church calendar. I love how our students are welcomed into membership in the church by the entire church body. It’s awesome to see a student decided to embrace the covenant that their family and the church made at the time of their baptism and I feel deeply blessed to be a small part of their journey.

As summer approaches it also means we send students out of the student ministry and into their lives beyond high school, which is always bittersweet. It’s great to see students embrace their calling in life, but sometimes that pulls them away from the Wilmington area. It has been an honor working with the seniors this year, and I look forward to watching as you all do great things in the future.

During the summer in student ministry, we don’t get to see students quite as much as we do during the school year. I would love to help parents and families continue along their spiritual journey this summer even if I do not see them as much and to accomplish this, I have created a Pinterest board for students and families. On it you will find everything from theology articles to family activities. I hope the board will serve as a tool to help shape your families’ faith journey. You can find the board on Pinterest by searching AldersgateDE Student Ministry. Enjoy your summer and we’ll see you around church!

Can Music Be Used as Medicine? Submitted by Jeff Manns, Director of Music Ministry

Biometric trackers are helping scientists tap into the body's response to songs and sound.

“Because you listened to Drake, how about Future next?” Pandora, Spotify, and other music-streaming services try to predict what users might like to listen to, based on their tastes and what’s popular with people near them. People make playlists for certain moods and activities—going to the gym, going to bed. But imagine if those apps could predict exactly which song would be best to help you focus, or to slow your heart rate after a run. (“You seem stressed. How about Sigur Ros?”) And if technology could predict how music affects the body, could it suggest music to treat symptoms of a disease?

That idea is the basis of The Sync Project, a new company based in Boston. Its mission is, as CEO and co-founder Alexis Kopikis puts it, “To figure out if music can truly be used as medicine.” Music’s effect on the mind and body has long been acknowledged anecdotally—who hasn’t tried to use music to influence their mood? Kopikis says it’s only now, though, that the technologies in both the music and health industries are advanced enough to provide the opportunity for this research.

“We have this super interesting moment where, [in] the last 10 years, major companies have put millions of songs in [everyone’s] pockets,” he says. “Then we have a bunch of technology companies trying to develop every possible sensor that you can put on your body to measure physiology. So we thought it was probably the first and most opportune moment to say, ‘Let's take everything we know and understand about music, take everything we're learning and understanding and [that] now can be tracked in real-time in human physiology, and figure out what's going on.’” The Sync Project currently takes the form of an online and mobile platform that pairs users’ music-streaming services with their wearable body monitors—Fitbits and the like—to track how music might be interacting with their body. The collected data is then shared with scientists who may be able to use it for their own research. Imagine if those apps could predict exactly which song would be best to help you focus, or to slow your heart rate after a run. The real-world information coming through the platform is crucial for researchers who want to analyze and understand the effects of music in realistic contexts, says Ketki Karanam, the co-founder and head of science innovation at The Sync Project. “There's some really good research out there indicating that music has the potential to bring about significant benefits in many health conditions, but not all the studies were well-designed,” she says. “The evaluations of what music does in the body were based on subjective responses and lacked the objective real-time measurements of physiology. That was really the motivation for us to launch The Sync Project and build a platform that would enable all researchers and clinicians to run more studies, better studies, and objectively track what the music was doing under different conditions in different contexts and on biological systems, and hopefully pinpoint the properties of music that were effective for different conditions.” The Sync Project, which was officially launched at the 2015 South by Southwest conference, is still in its infancy. Currently, the platform is only being tested within a small group of scientists and researchers—the company won’t say how many right now—with plans to roll out to larger groups, and eventually the public, later. The idea, though, is that a user’s biometric device, like a FitBit, would track things like steps taken, heart rate, and sleep patterns. Then the user would connect to The Sync Project app on her phone, which would bring in her music via Spotify, iTunes, or another music service. As the user goes about her day, the app would track which songs she listened to, and the biometric data from the device at the time music was being played—was she running to Rihanna? Resting to John Legend? In turn, that data would be used to inform the user—plus scientists and researchers—what music might have helped her fall asleep faster, or focus on a task better. (Of course, this is dependent on what kind of biometric data available wearable devices are able to track. At present, the test users are tracking variables like blood pressure, steps taken, EEG, galvanic skin response, sleep pattern, and concentration—whichever is available on each user’s device.) In the future, The Sync Project imagines it would focus on certain metrics, such as tracking sleep patterns, that could make for large and comprehensive case studies for researchers who are studying related conditions. “In the last 10 years, there's been enormous advancement in the technologies of analyzing music, for the purpose of making you listen to more music while you're on Spotify or any one of these platforms,” Kopikis explains. “We're taking that depth of knowledge and marrying it with deep analysis of what is going on in your physiology, for the purpose of improving people's lives.”

Current research into how music affects the body and brain shows that there is at least some degree of influence, physically and psychologically.

(Can Music...Continued on page 8)

Share the Journey 8 June 2015

For instance, research published in 2005 by Theresa Lesiuk at the University of Windsor, Canada, concluded that music helped to improve the quality and timeliness of office work, as well as overall positive attitudes while people were working on those tasks. A review in 2012 by Costas Karageorghis found there was “evidence to suggest that carefully selected music can promote ergogenic and psychological benefits during high-intensity exercise.” Meanwhile, Stefan Koelsch in Berlin has found “music can evoke activity changes in the core brain regions that underlie emotion,” and physically, “happy” music triggers zygomatic muscle activity—that is, smiling—and “sad” music “leads to the activation of the corrugator muscle”—the frowning muscle in the brow.

How Brains See Music as Language

However, the long-term effects still need to be parsed more thoroughly, plus it’s still unclear if and how, exactly, music might be used as treatment.

“Just because music—or anything else—acts upon a part of the brain, does not mean that mental health can be influenced,” Robert Zatorre, a neurologist at McGill University and a scientific advisor for The Sync Project, wrote in an email. “We need far more sophisticated understandings of what is going on in a given disease before we can really answer” the question of if music can definitively affect mental or physical health. “That said, there are a few promising avenues that people are trying with particular disorders, and hopefully that work will accelerate in future.”

One such condition is Parkinson’s disease. Jessica Grahn is a neuroscientist at Western University in Ontario who’s been studying the relationship between music and movement, and she points to research that has shown that even when people don’t seem to be physically responding to music—by tapping their foot or dancing—fMRI scans reveal that their brain’s motor systems are responding internally. “When we look at what happens when someone appears to be very passively listening to music, and they're not doing anything to it, we see quite a lot of the brain responding,” she says.

People in these studies, done by Grahn and others, seem to be responding to a song’s rhythm. The rhythm, Grahn says, really drives responses in the brain’s movement areas, and these responses tend to be stronger with music that has a clear beat that people can follow. Now, the next step for researchers is to find out if rhythm can be used to activate motor brain areas in people who have problems there.

Parkinson’s patients, for example, often experience “breaks” or “freezing,” and have trouble initiating movement. “It's not entirely clear why freezing happens,” Grahn says. But “one thing that people have observed is that if you play music that has a steady beat, or sometimes even just a metronome with a steady beat, these patients seem to have improvements in their walking.” Grahn has also observed music seeming effective in elongating and improving the gait of Parkinson's patients, which is often jerky and unsteady.

Still, there are a lot of variables that haven't been studied yet, from figuring out the strength and duration of these apparent effects to whether an individual’s musical abilities have an impact. A major boon, Grahn says, would be obtaining data—much, much more of it, and from patients in real-world situations.

"If you play music that has a steady beat, or even just a metronome, patients with Parkinson's seem to have improvements in their walking."

“Patients really vary; some have a very fast progression in the disease, some have a slow progression,” she says. “It's impossible to test enough patients to really capture every kind of patient with every kind of musical ability in the lab.”

She sees The Sync Project (which consulted with her about her research in the past) as an intriguing opportunity. “You can imagine it the same way that your phone knows where you are, they have these accelerometers in it. When you're walking, it jars the phone,” she explains. “A phone can also deliver music. So it'd be very easy to have an app for Parkinson's patients that record their walking and records what music they were listening to at the time, and then sends that data back to a researcher.”

Kopikis agrees that the lab structure in research can limit what kind of data scientists can gather. “Some of the leading scientists in the field have been working for 30 years with dementia and Alzheimer's patients, whose studies are based on observation,” he says. “In many of these populations, you cannot tell exactly what is going on by just observing. Where scientists get very excited is

(Can Music...Continued from page 7)

(Can Music...Continued on page 9)

Share the Journey 9 June 2015

the ability to combine what they're observing with a whole plethora of biometrics that can lead them to much more accurate un-derstanding of what actually is going on.”

Recently, Zatorre has been gauging interest in the program from research groups around the world, and says he has already found many of them to be enthusiastic.

“I think that it could create a good dialogue between scientists and industry. That could be very valuable for both sides, of course. Furthermore, it could help to jump-start direct applications of our research,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, Zatorre does warn that trying to use music as treatment can be risky—especially for a serious condition like Parkinson's.

“It's very complicated to do research with clinical populations because you're dealing with people who have some disorder; you have to be quite careful,” Zatorre says. “You can't tell them all, ‘We're going to try a treatment on you and have you forego the standard treatments that you would know are probably useful.’”

Still, if a patient finds that a certain song can improve her mood and outlook, why not try to reap the benefits and learn more about what’s going on?

“I think there's a lot of hype about what music can do,” Grahn says. “I don't think it's a sort of cure-all or replacement for a lot of things, but I certainly think it has potential. And the great thing about it is there is generally no bad side effects, it gives patients a sense of control over their treatment, and that's really important.”
