FROMM RS.N4VAL Or TEI ORGAN AT BT. Jalfite's.
—There wan • viwtry °mind on T:inre lay to sok Gamest
of the parishioners to the re-arrangt meat of the pews,
neoewary In ri moving the organ and choir from
the wait to the east end of the churoh. The Bogor
(Rev. J. A. Lamas) prodded, and there wag • large
attotdanoa—Kr. Boys moved :

That this nsoeting oppress,. the proposal to remove the
omen aud choir from the tweet to the ea.t end uf $t- Jamee's
Church. in aceiniance with the plan prepare' by Ilr Pearce,
the expense to be defrayed by voluntary subscription&
Mr. G. Buft woo:Wed.—Mr. O. Curtis hed welted es•
pectin to hear Mr. Walker's report reed, showing how
much better the choir could dog at one tad of the
oborolt thus at the other, and how mask ths oheoge
would be for the spiritual benefit of the eoagreatioe—
(laughter). Ile thought cutting off • plea of the
gallery, removing the pulpit, ko., would opal the look
of the choreal. He proposed :

That this meeting is -poWeelem to hike any poll of the parieh
of the mural of the organ, the question haring
iL respect
ly settled at the last vestry meeting; sad confirms
the resolution of that, vestry.
Mr. O. B. Aldridge essonded the amendment, as the
proposed alteration would mutilate the ebarob. A few
weeks sine' be was In Pula, and notieed that in lb of
the finest churches In that city the organ Wei at the
wort end.— Mr. Joyce entered Into a camber of details
gooneoted with the fabric of the church to show that
the proposed removal of the organ. If curried out, would
sue the rustling to sack, and perhaps a thousand
pounds would be required to repair the damage. The
money ullected for improving the organ was now
proposed to be used for remodelling the church—Mr.
Bel ben observed It was said that the present position of
the organ was 'elutes.' to the beauty of the musks of the
church. That be said was all "fudge." He found that
the highest pipe in the instrument was five feet below
the selliag. Taus the ceiling was no obstraotion, and
they had • non-musical 'smashers takig objections to
the position of the organ on grounds that would not
hold water at all. What other motive was there?
Looking at the advanced ritualism provallieg In the
Month of Inglarid—(the remainder of the soutanes
was lost In tumult). They weld not shut their eyes to
the feet that the I.aitgsllo.l party were emotionally
beeomming weak through the assaults of the lUtitalistio
party—(baar, bur). Although they were safe now,
they could not tall for bow long; the rituallats had
bought two or three thrushes In Liverpool, and they
might make • " bid " for St. James's Church. If
suousful, they eould do as tSey liked, and bare very

13elbee.—Mr. Balboa replied that It affected every one
who loved his country; It was • movement fraught with
the gravest oonsequenees. Baotou said they
knew that thy tendency of the Church wes towards
✓heas°, and he should be vary sorry to see that
turned Into • high °harsh. A straw showed the *arrant
of a stream, and • elergyassia's *oat showed the ten.
decoy of his mind—(tnnoh langhtee). The first stop
towards ritualism was a high ebureh cost, aad be saw
the Chairman had adopted- one—(renewed laughter, lei
whir& the Chairman heartily joined) —Mr. Beyt said
the anneyonce canted by the Sunday School children
at the west end prevented anything in the imbue of
singing being performed in a proper manner—Mr. J.
B. Dured said that thirty or forty years ago there was
MON very beautiful singing at Si, James'. Chanel), and
everything than was in the game plus as now —(hear,
hear). —Mr. W. U. Morris said the annoyances othsod
by the clue proximity of the school ohildren wu a
question of discipline, and by judicious training they
might utilise the voices In the schools many of which
were very beautiful—Mr. T. J. Duncan, organ builder,
asked for his opinion, said it was • oomplete fallacy to
assert that there was not sufficient room over the
present organ—there warn room to put a little organ
above IS The instrument was erected by one of the

land, and it was put In by Mr. Nicholls, wasted by the
late Mr. Walker. The pedal pipes were the only rotten
part of the organ, and thus were the most expensive
part to be restored. Fl thought It they °out,' see the
church salt would be if the alteratioa were carried out,
they woald all own that the removal of the organ would
destroy the offset of the Ulterior of the building, for
they would have a large, incongruous mass on one side,
sad on the other side itil. The beauty of the oboe&
was its chaste and pure style, and they bad now • very
fin* organ, of great power and sweetness, and of pure
tone, the smallest stop being effective. It would
annoy every one in the vicinity if it was removed into
the body of the church, aspeeially when they had •
pedal organ, which would be twits as lou,i u the pedal
pipes mild speak, whereas, from its present purlieu,
the gonad was, as it were, isoneentrat4 and arrived at
the satin • pleasurable mealaer. The proposal involved
unneoeseary expense in every way, and would not be
effsotive.—The Chairman put the amendment of Mr.
Cute, whoa 53 voted in favour cut, and Li against.—
The ameedasat vas therefore carded, and there WM
