Donnell of New York has written let
ter TO all the priests I'm the Roman
Catholic diocese of Brooklyn. instruct
ing them to carry out the directions OF
Pope Plus X in the matter of church
music has been received with some
dismay here.
such a rule in Wilmington, as IN
Brooklyn. would mean that the women
singers in the church choirs VIII have
to seek engagements elsewhere. 1t viii
mean. too, that figured music will have
to be abandoned. and that nothing but
Gregorian music win be used in the
services.
The choirs of the Catholic churches of
Wilmington are noted for their excel
lence and 20 abolish the women singers
would be regretted not only by members
of the Catholic church. but by Protest
ants as well, who attend the services to
