voice. but who succeeds only In screech-
ing at best and in making numerous false
notes at worst Is marplot in tho congre-
ration and should be chained down. Tho
young man who affects bass voice and
who imagines that singing bass is simply
ptch,ng his voice an octave lower than
mat OF the keynote. is also a most dIs-
.ressful member Of the congregation.
II ooes not take much salt TO spoil the
puduing, and the best OF congregational
singing may be thrown out OF harmony
by a few discordant voices OF this charac-
ter.
We have a word OF censure for the wo-
man who turns her head and sings TO the
congregation behind her while looking at
the late corners or new bonnets in the
rear. She is very dstracting.
Then 100 we have 4 word OF reproof for
members OF the chorus who slur their
words. ''Pra sim all preachers here be-
low" is a way that many people enun-
ciate the second line OF the grand doxolo-
gy. They have no right to take such IL
berries with tho inspired song.
There is a little revival hymn, which IS
quite a favorite, whose chorus IS why
not, why not, why not come TO Him
now" Some people sing It whine not"
and others WINE not" either OF which
is a good sentiment, but a travesty on the
hymn as writ
And thus is congregational singing
marred. Let us reform It altogether.
The Atlanta Chamber OF Commerce
proposes to give during the week great
business mems banquet. 10 which will be
invited not only members OF that organi-
cation, but two hundred and fifty promi-
nent citizens on the outside representing
the professions and all branches OF bust
ness.
The object of this banquet is TO extend
the interest in the work and purposes Of
the Chamber OF Commerce and 10 concen-
trate tho energies OF the people in behalf
of Atlanta
such occasions are most useful and
praise worthy. The business men or every
community ought to be brought together
as often as possible in a social way and
talk over those things which intimately
concern the welfare OF the community.
The business men of every city should
know each other well and should con
stantly exchange views. and when they
touch elbows around the festal board they
necessarily feel that community OF inter-
est which does not come otherwise.
We believe that it is a good plan TO
have such banquets not only for the resi-
dents Of the city. but also to invite repre-
sentative men from all parts OF the State
TO a banquet every now and then, that
the city folks and their friends from the
country may know each other better and
swap ideas.
At the North business is one thing and
the social relations quite another It is
not so in the South and we hope II never
will be so. Southern people are sociable
and hospitable and they have always been
able to mix up social and business rela-
lions without detriment TO either.
