TO SING OR NOT TO SING.
Tho Question of Catholics Warb.
ling in Protestant Worship.
Archbishop Ryan Says That They Can Not
Is an Established Principle, and Not q
Decree of the Recent Plenary Council.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 10.-A Cincinnati
dispatch published here to-day announced
that Archbishop Elder had forbidden
Roman Catholic vocalists and musicians
to employ their talents in Protestant
churches, and intimated that the promul-
cation Of the order was the result of an ac-
tion taken by the recent Plenary Council
held in Baltimore. The attention of
Archbishop Ryan was called to the dis
patch, with the request that he would give
some information of the action of the
ouncil on the question. He replied that to
the best of his knowledge no discussion had
been had on the subject ut is long
established rule of the Church, he said,
that singers and musicians who are mem
bers shall not use their talents in other
churches, and ] take it that Archbishop
Elder has merely made this announcement
to call the attention Of those who may have
disregarded the requirements of heir Of
fense. The principle Is we'll established and
the Church deals with this offense as it does
with others OF course, il we have members
who desire to sing in other churches, they
are at perfect liberty to exercise their in
dividual rights, but the moment they
do SO they cease to belong to the
Roman Catholic Church, and can on.y re-
turn to 1t in the same manner as those who
for other offenses have been removed from
its protection" Concerning the decree re-
Gently issued by Archbishop Ryan, that
hereafter the Catholic ch rites would not
be allowed to accept money raised by balls,
the Archbishop said there was nothing to
add to what had already been published
''The Plenary Council decreed it, he said.
"and promulgated the order. Imust de-
cline to express any opinion of the action
of the Council"
