is nothing strange or puzzling about
that man. Either he is lying or else
he is . fool. And we can understand
the loyal and conscientious RepnbI-
can, who thinks, or thinks he thinks
that by electing q Democratic Presi-

SOME of the churches in eastern cities
have concluded that female voices are out
of place in their choirs, and that male
voices must make all the music. This is
all right for those whom it suits. 1t is
not many years ago that certain people of
the Methodist persuasion would not allow
instrumental accomplishments to voice
music; but now some churches of this
denomination not only tolerate vast organ
pipes, but avail themselves of full hedged
orchestns. Whether this kind of ser
vice is acceptable to the throne of grace,
it is not for us to determine, but we do
know that it pleases the people. The
better the music, whether from pulpit OF
choir, the greater the attendance of wor,
shippers is the prevailing rule.
