regiment left home, they having been
mustered into the service of the United
States on the 10th day of June, 1916, soon
after which time they took up the line Of

rgThe Boston Courier, noticing collec-
ton of old Church Music that has just been
published. says:
eft does our heart good to see this collec-
ton of the good old tunes that were in use
forty years ago, before the taste and science
(Heayen help the mark y of fashionable mod
ern authors-plagiarist and thieyes-had in.
undated the musical world with their milk
and water trash. We do really wish that
some one of the numerous congregations in
this city or the vicinity might have vitality
enough to ABORT this book and give once more
to the public services of the church little of
that devotional feeling that was formerly in
spired by the compositions of Billings, Read,
Swan, Edison, Holden and others.
"The dull, insipid, cold, heartless stuffs,
that is now heard in our congregations is
enough to create disgust for the musical part
of the public worship, and does disgust and
drive away from the Westinghouse many that
would otherwise be found in their pews.-
Nine tenths of the fashionable church music
is libel on devotion, and ought to be hooted
from society,"
Who will not say amen to the abovee IL
cannot be denied that the church music, as a
general thing, that is now in use, is what the
Courier says it is, dull, insipid, cold and heart
less. 1t is mere jumbling together of notes
no soul, no feeling. 1t falls powerless on
the ear, touches no chord, awakens no emo
tons in the breast. 1t seems as if for years
back the composers of music have been run
ming a race TO see which could do the most to
drive the spirit of music from the world and
reach the depth of insipidity first, and having
apparently-and we think in reality-reached
that depth, we may hope they will now be
forced to take the back track. The appear
ance of works containing the simple and
heart touching music of the olden time,
.eCompared with which, Italian trs are tame"
is a good omen, and will be hailed with plea
sure by all lovers of simple and natural mu-
c;o
