WOMEN MOTTO PEAK IN THE
CHURCHES.

The following specimen Of pious old-fogyism is
from tho New York Churchman. The Cincinnati
Gazette facctiously puts the paragraph ftst under
its head Of "Ael,gtous Summary"
"The mere musician may not be able to "agree
to the exclusion of female voices from tho ch )ir'-
though this is not exactly putting the question
lairly, since it is not the r%oiceS, but the tc0HeR, that
are out OF place in such situations; while We all
know that the best trebles, and the most legitimate
for sacred purposes, are those Of boys. But the
principle is, nevertheless, in a religious and church
point Of view, incontroyertible that however con-
venient or easily instructed, young women arc not
the materials Of a Church Choir )" for to all in
tents and purposes, "the rrecept which forbids
women to speak in Church, forbids them, by inn
%plication, to take any prominent or leading par. in
the public service of God. Instructed they may
and ought to be, that in their places in Church
they may tremendously join the choir but they
may not be leaders" This, we say, is not to be
ovcrruled upon any plea of gratifying the taste, or
tickling the ear, or of giving effect, or upon any
mere oxpcdiency whatever. IL is forbidden for
,comen to speak IN the Church-except, of course,
as individual worshippcrs, joining in the prayers
and praises of the Sanctuary. For choristers are
those taking prominent part in the services of the
Church; and women might almost as properly
step forth to say the prayers, read the lessons, or
even preach, as perform such an Office. This may
seem a startling principle to lay down but it will
be found a sound one, Notwithstanding.
