A SARCASM UpoN CHURCH CHorRs.
Members of chnrch ohoira will probably
feel>a disrelish dor the following para
graphs. which appear in the March num-
ber of the chronological Journal:
Remember TINT all must be done for.
the glory Of the choir. It is absurd to
work in with the prayers and sermon for
harmonious religious effect. If the
minister does not work in the prayers
and singing, 30 much the worse for the
minister. ' M
During prayers. be whispering and
notice you for H icy y viii iIS 81 snis Sard w at
prayer. If any Of the congregation do
not particularly desire to be praying, it
will help to entertain them. Keep
things, brisk, and draw much attention
to their choir. The church was built,
and the congregation gathered for the
choir: Mind that, it is fundamental
principle.
AS soon as the sermon begins 60 out of
church. IT it. is pleasant weather you
can have smoke, and ge. back in time
for the next musical performance. You
do not como to church to worship; you
are paid 30 much for singing or playing;
not for hearing sermone; or, if yon are
gfatuitous, yon have laid the congrega-
ton already under enough obligstionsby
your professional services.
Never let it be settled among the sing
ers who is chief. Let each take himself
and herself the most important. L. it
not enough to keep harmony in the
singing? Why ehould the singers ba
harmonious? It is not regular and fash
lonable to have peace in choir. The
singers owe it to themselves to have
strife about something or nothing. Let
everything be done through strife and
vain glory. Tt will give the pastor some
concern and develop skill in managing.
Or course they never do this in Heaven:
