CHURCH CHOiRS.
Who VIII Sing In the Different Churches
During the winte.--.~---.------.-

s- - .--es
The various churches have now been re-
opened, the pastors have mostly returned from
their summer vacations, and the regular services
have been resumed. As the music of a church is
a large factor in Its prosperity, going hand in
hand with the ministrations and elOquence OF the
pastor 1t is matter of interest to those who arc
not regularly attached to any special place of wor
ship to know where the best religious music can
be heard, and accordingly inquiry has been made
rs to the composition of the different church
choirs. As the engagements Of singers usually
commence with the resumption Of devotional eX-
ercises after the summer vacation, 1t is probable
thatth choirs will generally remain AS at presen,
constructed during the entire winter. SO far as
nscertained the principal church chorus ore as
