SCIENTIFIC SINGING IN CHURCH -
The Vernon Co. Csasor and its cor
respondent are discussing Congrega'
ti0nal or asaembIage singing. The
editor opposes scientific aud machine
worship, whether musical or sermon
reading. He says that "scientific
n usicsns generally subordinate the
idea OF worship by song, to that OF
scientific singing" They prefer a
mechanical choir to earnest singers
Of praises from unframed lips" Re-
suit is, 1--WE seldom hear the familiar
