MUSIC IN CHURCH.
The Question Causes a Hot Debate in the
United Presbyterian Assembly.

PITTsBU RG, May 30-The United Presby-
terrain Assembly met this morning, and after
the usual opening exercises the discussion
on the question of instrumental music was
resumed, Dr. w. D. Wallace, Elder Henry
Harrison, of New York, and Rev. Cyrus
Cummings delivering speeches.
DIR. Wallace said; 1--WE want liberty in the
church. Is instrumental music of the nature
of a circumstance or a substance? Why not
introduce water instead of wine at the com
munion because wine is an intoxicating
liquor? We should soon call halt in that.
AS to music, we see person sitting at little
box producing sweet melodies that help the
singing. The speaker argued chat the church
had divine warrant for the use instruments,
and quoted Martin Luther and the Lord Jesus
Christ in support of his position. These au-
liberties either violated law or recognized
music as an incident of worship. The speaker
ended by saying that he was not sure an in
strument was any help in the service, and for
his own part, would follow the traditions of
the fathers, and praise God with his voice;
but at the same time he wanted the Assembly
to give them liberty on vexed question, or,
IN other words, he wanted a common ground
upon which to stand.
Rev. W. NJ HOWE thought many would
not be satisfied with the majority report.
lie would not say that he would leave the
United Presbyterian Church. but did not
want to be put under such restraint. The
speaker then offered as an amendment to the
overture the following resolution:
'That the sessions be Instructed that it ia their
duty to send to the presbytery delegate to vote
upon the question, in accordance with the wish
es OF the majority Of sessions; that, pending q
decision, fOrDearance be exercised toward con-
Rregatons already using instruments, and that
While the overture is pending said congregations
be earnestly entreated, for the coed OF the
church cause, to take steps toward the intro
duclon of Instrumental music into the worship
of God"
DR.. Carson said he was willing to wait one
year longer, and proposed that the question
be postponed one year, and meantime the
church be asked to decide whether the posi-
ton Of the majority is correct.
DIR. Carsons motion was declared out of
order, ana the question recurring upon the
amendmentof Rev. Mr.. Howie, the yeas and
nays were ordered. This was considered to
be the test of the sentiment of the Assembly,
and resulted yeas 20, nays l49.
The amendment to substitute the minority
report for that OF the majority was lost with

Captain McNeir, Of the Jeanette board of

Noros received permission to accom- pany the

his most earnest protest. They were deter

TribulatiOn In the PostofIico Department.
Special to PittSburg Dispatch.
good deal of uneasiness is felt by some
higher-grade clerks in the Postoffice Depart
ment because of the conviction that sweep
ing changes are on the taps. Postmaster
general Gresham, upon entrace upon the
duties of his office found the whole organi.
cation of the department practically in the
hands of men who had long passed the me-
ridian of life and were untitled by reason
of old age for the proper performance of the
important duties imposed on them. Several
of these men have grown up with the de-
partment. More than one is over seventy
years of age. They have been faithful clerks,
but have survived their usefulness. They
are mostly occupying responsible positions
There are others who have reached RESPONSE
BILE positions by favoritism, and these are
also now in danger of the headsman. 1t is
the desire of General Gresham to put his de-
partment on footing of efficiehcy equal, at
least, if not superior, to that occupied by the
Department of the Interior, which is accred-
tied the best To accomplish this he finds
it necessary to degrade the old men and
misplaced fayorites or to discharge them al
together. The changes will take place before
the LIST of July. There is, therefore, great
trlbulation among the ancient ones. Their
places do not come Under the operation of
| the civil-service reform rule.
