A Shanghai paper publishes a synop-

THE TABERNACLE CHOIR,

Thursday evening is the regular time
for practice By the Tabernacle choir
Every member thereof should endeayoi
N attend. Unless this rule is followed,
q, ls impossible 70 maintain the musi-
cal status and high reputation Of the
choir. OF which every Salt Lakcr Is de-
servedly proud Il Is due to the con

regard should be had to his wishes on
this important point, His heart is in the
work Of musical progress, and his am
bltlon is to lead the choir under his
charge 10 the highest attsinable stand
ard. This cannot be achieved except
by regular practice and union and sim
certify OF effort.
The choir has many things TO con-
tend with. Its members are engaged Ia
other occupations They are not hired
or salarled musicians Their services
are rendered for the love Of the art
their devotion TO the Church, and their
regard for the public The majority of
them are employed In labors that take
up most OF their time. Some OF them
belong TO ward choirs and have TO at
tend their home practice meetings
Many Of the male singers are ward
teachers. and connected with quorums
or auxiliary associations. Duties con-
nected with their callings In the Priest
hood must be attended 70. These leave
them but little leisure time In the
evenings.
The question arises which shall take
precedence, choir practices or quorum
and ward obligations? OF course duties
In the Priesthood must have the FIRST
claim upon the Elders They cannot be
rightly set aside. But we believe that
