to which I still adhere, no musician can truthfully say

is • c item to the parish. Time, he infers
was not ha I, I etill msiot on it was had, and what
sounds worse than an anthem, composed of such crate
time, being eung out of time? I did not state the
facts aa my opinion simply, but opts the authority of

parespe marked F.F. ghoul" be sung loudly, yet is it
not • fact that paesagee marke I P. and even P P.
(triaohistmo) should be sung softly ? The pianos were
not attended t end I believe it was from the fact that
some of the rhoir cannot sing softly even if they try.
In conclusion I thank "Minim" for hie gratuitous
advice,aud I think if any del ct exists in the choir, he
sad our esteemed organist stem doubt able to Care
