We have read Dr. Gtrar,'cau's book on In.
strumcntui Music in Public Worship. The
Doctors nanHcr and style is most attractive.
in this feature there Is nothing that even an
opponent could challenge. The writer Of this
book displays a powerful intellect. We do
not believe his argument can bg OvcrlhrOwr-
1t is overwhelming. This Is the verdict OF
those here who have read the book. Dear
reader il yen doubt ii all you have to do is To
read the book. You are then welcome to Your
