The Introduction Of musical instru-
nonts, and organization OF choirs, in
tho protestsut churches, in the large
towns and cities, within the past few
years, has notably destroyed the once
popular and very attractive system of
congregational singing. Have tile
churches been benefited by this
change, either in their growth OF in
the interest Of the members of the
congregations in their attendance
We think not.
We are decidedly in favor Of the
nee OF organs or other suitable instru-
ments Of music, and of choirs in the
churches, but we think they have
been changed from their original pur-
poss-Thieh was simply that Of lead
srs Of the music, aud that they have
psarped the entire conduct of this
part Of the service in most of the
churches, and that this change has not
only not been beneficial to the chur-
shes in any way; but has actually
worked an injury. Since the mem
bess-of the various congregations
have ceased to join ia the singing,
they have yielded almost the only par
sicipation-t they havssin the-ehuxch ser
vices. This is certainly so in All Of
the protestant churches which have
no rituals, (and We know Of but one
which has). This objection does not
apply so aptly to the Roman Catholic
church, because except in the music.
which in that church is usually con
Quoted by ehoirs, the congregation
participate with the priest in the ser
vices of the mass. Not so, however,
with majority Of the protestant chur-
ehes. The large majority of the con
gregatious there are mere listeners to
the music, to the prayeraand the ser
mon, and have no part IN the conduct
Of the services.
From secular point Of view we
think this matter is one of snch i'm
porsancs as to require change, and
that the choirs should be used mere
~ to lead the congregation IN the con-
duct of the musical services of the
church, which we presume viii not
be questioned was the original object
OF their organization.
