PSALM SINGING PREsBYTERIANs.
Pastor OF Congregation of "Seceders''
to Preach In lexington Church.
Washington Post

Rev. Oliver Johnston, OF South Carolina
who is visiting In the city, will preach tomor.
row morning at the lexington Presbyterian
Church, corner Of North Capitol and Q streets.
The difference may seem shadowy, bat some
of the branches Of the Presbyterian Church
are separated only by their hymnody. The
psalm singing branches OF the denomination,
TO which class the Rev. Mr.. johnson belongs,
still hold to an inspired psalmody for use In
divine worship; that is, their church hymnal
is confined to q collection, in metrical yer.
sion, Of the inspired hymns OF the ancient
Hebrews as found in the songa Of the Bible.
Most OF the hymn books compiled for use In
Presbyterian churches contain many OF the
Bible hymns In the form used by the psalm
singers, and q few years ago when the Pres.
byterians (South) proposed q union with the
"Seceders," as their psalm.singing brethren
are called In that section. they suggested that
bodily in all Presbyterian hymn books, so
that each congregation could have what 1t
preferred In the way OF songs for the sanctu-
ary. The larger branches OF the Presbyterian
Church admits hymns OF modern compost
tion to their song books and use them la pub.
lie worship equally with the songs which In
Holy Writ have come down through the
ages.
The pastor OF the lexington Church, the
Rev. DR.. William T. Thompson, was pastor
for twenty years OF churches In South Caro-
lima. and today he will often In announcing
hymn TO be sung recall that II Ia psalm In
the version sung by the "Seceders." to whom
he II always ready 70 pay tribute as people
of high ideals, who walk In the old ways and
will not be turned aside. The church In
South Carolina Of which the Rev. MIR. John
son is pastor is the largest psalm-singing con

Doctors Slang.

Why will not gentlemen of the medical
profession acquire some common sense about
such simple matter as making themselves
intelligible to the general public? Here we
had yesterday In the report of the autopsy OF
the Popes body a lot OF such words as ''corti-
CAL" "atteromatous eXcrescen ce,' "per lear
num-" and the like. This IL very cheap
kind of exhibition Of scientific knowiedge, If
1t IL Intended that way. We suppose the
rawest young cub Ofa medical student who
can get access TO a medical dictionary makes
his first business to load himself up with a
lot OF this stuff to fire off for the bewider-
ment of the young ladies' to whose associa.
tion he asplres, and tho small boys from
whose panionshp he WAS recently
emancipated. But 1t does not seem unworthy
of the dignity Of grown men 10 write and
talk in language which. to ordinary, intelli-
gent people, is mere giboerlsh. When doc
tors are talking 10 DOCTORS II is entirely prop

terms, lust as II would be proper for electri.
clans or blacksmiths 10 do the same kind OF
thing 10 the same kind OF thing In the same
circumstances. But when doctors are writ
ing or talking through the newspapers or
otherwise for The general public, for heaven 8
sake let them have sense enough TO use Ian

stand, and TO prove that they are trying TO
give Information rather than 10 advertise
their own familiarity with what may be
called professional straightforward News
