work--a voice which Is sweet ana pure.
There Is still considerable controversy
among Choirmasters as TO whether "a
choir OF mixed voices-men and women

men. There are some cholrmasters who
say that for church music no singing
can ever supply the place Of the chorls-

tain quality OF tone different from the
adult voices OF either sex one argu-
ment Is that girl choirs lack the
breadth Of tone of boys voices Against
this must be placed the testimony Of
cholrmasters who have established
mixed choirs in the chancel, notwith-
standing the fact that mixed choir Is
