WOMEN MAY SING GREGoRrAN CHANT

Baltimore April 25.-In connection with ~1rmors
that the meeting of the Catholic archbishops in
Washington two months ago Cardinal Gibbons had
been requested to inform the Pope that it would be
impracicable at the present time to enforce the
decree concerning the restoration of the Grerorian
chant as the only music to be employed in churches
of this country and the Punishment of women from
he chors, the cardinal says no definite request Of
the kind made.
An extract follows from resolutions adonted
at the Washington conference and bearing unop tho
subject of church music and women choirs woud
clearly explain, be said, the position in which the
prates we're placed in regard to the edict of Plus
\;
The letter of the Holy Father was carefully
considered attention called to the prudent toll

giving special approval and encouragement to the
Use Of the Gregorian chant wherever practicable.
is far from insisting upon it exclusively but deals
at length on the excellence of the sacred compost
non OF the school of Paestrna, and praises other
wise such works of modern music as have in like
manner aimed at expressing the divine worship in
q religious and worthy manner
1T was also noted that while encouraging the
formation Of male choirs he (the Pope does not
condemn congregational singing at divine service
in which the voices of women are included 1t was
urged that measures everywhere should be taken to
comply as far as possible with the commands of
the Holy Father"

THE EIGHTH COMMANDMENT.

Among the many ways in which infractions OF
this commandment committed, that of detrac-
ton is by no means the least. The sin is one of
wider extent than most persons realize-one too,
II Is feared which does not receive sufficient con-
sdcration. In fact, it has become such common
habit that with many it is not regarded offense
against Gods law at all.
This Is a serious mistake and those entertaining
such ideas should hastily abandon them. Detrac-
non, as we have said, is the speaking i'll of our
ncighbor, intending thereby to minimize his good
name injure his reputation. Nor is it necessary
that resort TO actual speech TO make us
able to the law. That is simply one way of offend
mig. 1t is not. however, the only way.
We may offend just as seriously by silence as
hy speech. For instance, by failing to defend our
nclghbor's good deeds when duty demands it; by de-
traction from or concealng such actions, and by
acknowledging the latter in manner which dis
plays our dislike or creates suspicion of their val
uc in the minds of others Thus do offend
against this commandment, and with equal serious
hess do when without necessity and just cause
we disclose to another the secret faults of our neigh
hor. Each is but another species Of offending, and
aII are equally forbidden.
One needs but little reflection on the many cases
which come under his observation to be convinced
hat detraction has become common sin--a fur
Their evidencealso that there is prevailing either
ignorance Of Gods law wilful violation of it
this particular. Likewise is 1t conclusive Of the
act when Catholics are the offenders, that they do
not make it a matter of conscience IN the comics
-lonal. For they to do so, among them, at
hast, we should expect a correction OF the sinful
custom. AT all events, it is an offense against the
'ghth commandment grown too common and one
which should be abated.-Church Progress.
