Christmas Services at ST. Marks Church.

to the celebration of the Christmas Festival,
pains being taken to bring the musical por

munity, but not new in other places, on
similar occasions, and in praise meetings,
was the additional accompaniment given by
six orchestral pieces, under the efficient lead
ership of Mr.. Wales of the Soldiers Home
Band. The effect produced by these instru
ments was to enliven and enrich the musical
tone Of the organ and voices. without being
in the least obtrusive or noisy. 1t is not the
place to speak here in favor of orchestral ac-
compartments in church music but one can
not help thinking that our fathers who were
accustomed to use stringed instruments for
this purpose showed a sound Judgment and
good taste. and that even with the organ. no.

up for the loss occasioned by their removal
The effect of our stringcd instruments. of

part in the trumpet in scriptural instances, is
to produce in combination and with the human
