The Methodist churches OF this place
are at present agitating the choir ques-
tion and undoubtedly there will soon
be good choirs organized for each Of
these places of worship. Now the es-
sential attributes OF "A choir are admit
/ ted hy all. vet there seems TO be a pre-
Yalent idea in this place which we think
erroneous. tis that where there is a
choir, this body shoHld do all the sing
] ing and the rest of the congregation
hold silence. In all large places even
where singers are paid for their services.
the choir leads the singing while all the
congregation that wish to join in, sing
ing from the same books which are fur
nished for each pew. OF course the
oratorio or voluntary which is generally
something more difficult than ordinary
music, is sung by the choir alone.
There are many who love to sing and
enjoy this part of the service very much
and to deprive them of this pleasure
simply because they don't belong to the
choir is wrong. We would suggest
that the church societies unite and give
some kind of an entertainment or
series of entertainments, divide the
proceeds, and with them furnish the
books required.
The average country editor usually
has enough trials, troubles, and tribula-
tions connected with the every day
work of his chosen calling. But with
us things have been running so smooth
! ly of late, that we felt that life was
|
living, and if we didn't have something
narrowing happen to us soon, we were
in danger of losing. in measure, that
Job-like patience and perfect humility.
for which we have been noted in the
past. So last Friday morning when the
opportunity presented itself, for us to
/ get Ourself broken mp. smashed, bang
ed and wrecked generally, and ut the
same time furnish an original item of
| joyful interest to the readers of our
! valuable paper. we were unable TO resist
the temptation, and consequently then
and there offered ourself as q sacrifice.
! The DIR. has taken an inventory of our
injuries which consist OF cracked leg,
wrenched back, crick in the neck, and
snndry other items too numerous to
mention. Since the above occurrence
we have been occupying a bed by our
self and have an excellent chance to
ruminate; and after giving the subject
careful, prayerful consideration we
have come to the conclusion and wish
to announce, that in the future we
shall endeavor to be satisfied with Or
binary every day life just as it comes,
