The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1886-11-20

The National Convention OF United
Presbyterians, who are opposed to in
strumental music in the churches closed
its session in Pittsburg last week, after
adopting resolutions denouncing the
employment of such music in connec-
ton with the worship of God as without
authority under the dispersation of the
New Testament. 1t is rather late in
the day for the undertaking of such a
crusade as that of the convention just
closed. instrumental music has taken
firm hold on the religious services OF
nearly all churches and is now gener-
ally regarded as not only appropriate
in every way.but also as an incentive to
church going and to the zeal of church
members. 1t is true that it has devel-
oped some choirs that could well be
spared, but as whole, its influence is
beneficial.

has come to save sinners, and | am here
to announce the glad tidings." well
now, stranger, the irreverant wag re-
piled, IF that's SO, you've struck the
right place We used to hear something
like that around here. but the fact is,
lately the preachers don't talk nothing
but local option. I'm glad you've come. "
Cecil Democrat.
The above is an ungenerous and
mean fling at the respected ministers
of this town. The preachers of the
gospel now stationed at the several
churches in Elkton, are as earnest and
sincere Heralds of Christ as any COM
munty is blessed with. The most OF
them did advocate prohibition as a
great moral question. They would in
our opinion have been recreant to their
missions, had they not done so. But
they have no less for that reason
preached Christ crucifed to this PEG
pie. A fact, we are sorry to say, which
the editor of the Democrat cannot per
sonally testify to.
