Kennebunk was fully justified in insist
ing on having a controlling voice in the
selection of the hymns to be sung in his

ridiculous incongruities might result if
the choir selected the hymns without any
supervision on the part of the minister
Nevertheless the singing has become so
prominent and taking part of the mod
ern church service that it is not strange
that some choirs have come to feel that
the sermon. is of little consequence in
comparison, and that if there ought to
be any adaptation of one to the other the
sermon should be made to fit the hymns
rather than the hymns the sermon.

against the company, and that is in re-
gard to it's ownership of stock in the
Pullman Iron and Steel Company, the
Judge holding that the company had no
right to invest in this stock under its
charter. The suit it will be remembered,
