Churches During the winter.
The various churches have now been re-
opened, the pastors have mostly returned
from their summer vacations, and the regu-
lar services have been resumed AS the
music of n church Is a largo factor in its
prosperity, going hand-in-hand with the
ministrations and eloquencc of the pastor, it
is matter of interest to those who are not
regularly attached to any special place of
worship to know where the best religious
music can be heard, and accordingly inquiry
has been made as to the composition of the
different church choirs. AS the engage
ments Of singers usually commence with the
resumption of devotional exercises after the
summer vacation, it is probable that the
choirs will generally remain as at present
constructed during the entire winter. So
far as ascertaincd the principal church choirs
are as follows.
