THE MODERN ANTHEM.

Its Peculiarities Hum0rousIy Discussed
Like a Spring Bonnet 1t is FearfutIy
and Wonderfully Made.
The following article is from the
pen of Rev. Elliott w. Brown pastor
of the Second Presbyterian church
of Dubuque Iowa, and was written
for The Phi Gamma a paper printed
in the interest of his church.
1.-The modern anthem is like the
modern spring bonnet-fearfully
and wonderfully made. Its pursuit
defying mazes are altogether unique
while its erratic meanderings are
beyond dispute, confusing in the ex-
treme. 1t is an innovation that
should die by request.
A certain pastor, after being tort
ured by one of these musical (?) pro-
digies, prayed: 80 Lord, bless the
choir. Thou knowest what they
have been singing, for we do not. -
Whether vocal pyrotchnics, as ex-
hibited in this class of compositions
are designed to entertain, profit. or
affront popular taste, is not entirely
clear but it is probable that some
-rockety genius, in a fit of &C
centric self confidence, shot off the
first modern anthem, and-grew
hopelessly insane at the attempt.
Others, less to be pitied and more to
be execrated, have lived (more's the
PITY to compose these admired
words, y ana they are now sung on
many occasions. They are too
modern to be called "relics of bar
barism - they are simply evidences
of inbred depravity.
1t is almost impossible to enter
many churches without hearing one
of these carieatures of ancient psal-
mody, and this is about the style of
its rendition:
The one -thousand-dollar soprano
paris Conservatoire) MARBLES out a
statement that she will wash. The
alto astonishes the congregation
by volunteering a like statement.
The tenor Qate of the ''Boston
Ideals, and so announced in the
papers) loftily expresses his firm
determination likewise to perform
an ablution. The Swedish basso
growls out defantly his intention to
wash also.
All this requires much heaving,
swelling of veins, contortions Of
visage. and vain repetition, to make
clear to the congregation that a
general wash is about to come off.
But this does not by any means
satisfy the quartette, who seem to
have suddenly developed an intense
longing after cleanliness. They
take a deep breath and a fresh start

after which, with, many O. suspen-
sion, quaver, slur, rest, and variation
they repeat the words, II will wash

the scarcely breathing congregation.
A heavy, long-drawn sigh testifies
! to their momentary ease.
But the next phrase, sung in a
soul-harrowing POGO agitato. 81

the perspiring listeners into a fresh
sea of distressing doubt. The min
ister's wife on the front seat-that
little lady in the pearl silk robe,
not the stout lady in black satin
uneasily shifts her position; the
theological neophyte, fresh from the
seminary, unconsciously bushes,
the bald-headed deacon frowns
ominously it is a matter of univer-
sal and painful doubt as to what
element the singers will use to wash
their hands. Oh such terrible sus-
pense
With sensibilities wrought up to a
tremendous pitch, the people now
listen to vocal race, each incoher-
ent artist vying with the others to
be the first to announce the element
to be used in their ablutions.
The soprano starts off at a gentle
canter, but she impresses the con-
gregation as possessing considerable
reserve speed. The alto and tenor
follow, neck and neck, good seconds
while the bass comes numbering on
behind, already breathing heavily.
They soon begin in earnest, and in
a short time are going at a lively
pace. 1t needs an expert to pre-
dict who first will emerge from the
intricacies of the snarl ''I will
wash my hands wash my wash will
hands in my wash will / hands /
will wash wash wash wash my
hands hands hands my wash will l
wash, my hands will hands l will
wash wash wash my.wash in wash"
oh, it is maddening But won
derful to relate, they finally COM
promise, and all come in together,
expressing peaoeable, respectable
and entirely harmless resolve to
wash their hands ''in innocency.
