list Paul could have visited some OF
our city churches on Sunday, and noted
the efforts of the new choirs to show
that the changes which had been made
were iustiiaaie, We IAN imagine that in
his perplexity as to what the choir was
up to he would have quoted himself as
follows: Even things without life, Civ
ing a voice. whether pipe or harp, ifttey
eige o G distinction in the sounds, how
shall it be known wha. is piped or
harpad2' Possibly, in his imperfect
Knowledge o. tie ntoiern languages, he
might suppos that the choir WAS airing
lis skill IN al unknown tongue, as the
Corin,h.an church m=mbers did with a
good deal of satisfaction. Bat What
Paul said 20 them applies to
the modern choir, as
well. There are, it may Dc. SO many
kinds OF voices in the world, and no
kind is without Specification. Ifthen |
know not the meaning of the voice, |

the Corinth church aas as faulty as some
OF ours, Tor Paul limited that if lie we're
10 sing. he would sing with the spirit
and with the understanding also, and in
closing his criticism upon these barbarian
uttersnces in church, he remarked
that he had rather speak five
words that could be understood
than ten thousand words in an unknown
tongue. Possibiy all our city choIrs In
tended to sing English, on Sunday. but
if any body should talk The sort of En-.
gtlsh in company, which some of the
choIrs used. he would be set down Tor q
iialf-reforlned Chocktaw, or a washee-

citation of English is SAID to be difficult
fer foreigners 10 acquire, but SO far as We

, foreigners TO lily extent. 1t Is safe to
say thar some OF the sopranos could sing

something to that effect, and that, too,
