DIR. Holland. IN discussion Of church music

DIR. Holland, IN a discussion Of church music
In Scribner, writesas follows:
"For ourselves, we are very much afraid OF
the mevemnt toward congregational music.
The tendency TINS far has been 20 depreciate
not only the quality of music in the churches,
but the importance OF it, and to make public
worship very much less attractive to the great
world, which it is the church's duty and policy
to attract aud to influence. The churches are
full, rs rule, where the music Is excellent
This fact may not be very flattering TO preach
ers, but it in fact, and il 10 quite legitimate
question whether church has a right to sur
reuder any attraction that viii give il hold
upon the attention OF tho world especially n
thst attraction is an eevating one, and in the
direct line OF Christian influence. Congresa-
tional singing is well enough in its place and
proportions, but very little OF the inspiration
OF music comes through it, 1t is indeed, more
Of a torture than pleasure to many musical
and devout people. The ideal arrangement az
il seems to us, is frst-class quartette, made
up OF soloists, who take prominent part in
the public service, with single choral in each
service given to the congregation to sing In
this way the two offices OF music in public re-
ligious assemblies seem 10 be secured more
surely and satisfactorily than in any other.
