San Francisco has a real Chinese
choir 1t is a church choir, complete
In ali its parts, and composed of young
Chinese vocalists. who are accompa-
MED on the organ by Chinese organ
list. 1t sings to a purely Chinese con-
gregation composed of men, women and
children.
1t was in 1886 that a Chinese branch
of the Presbyterian Church was form
ed in San Francisco. 1t was found eX-
tremely hard to bring the men and
women together for worship. There
was a religious and social chasm that
the men shrunk from crossing. But
concessions were made and the women
were allowed 10 worship behind screens
and curtains. Prejudices were lost as
time wore on, and in 1870 curtains and
screens begun to be lowered and finally
TO disappear But the men kept to one
side of the church and the women to
the other. But the choir marks one
of the most positive advances, for in it
young men and young women stand
side by side and their voices blend
sweetly, rhythmically and devotionalIy
in hymns of praise.
