Or. Braman and the FiddIers.

The Rev. Milton p Braman, ID. D.,
for thirty-fve years pastor Of the
First Church of Danvers, Mass, retir.
ing in 1861, was widely known as a
preacher and theologian. He was,
however, conservative to the point of
bigotry, and eccentric w.thal. One Of
his eccentricities was his determined
opposition TO instrumental music in
church, which he seemed to regard as
little short Of sacrilege. Therefore, ii
may readily be understood that when
the parish introduced first and
second violin and bass as accompani.
ment to the singing of the choir, the
doctors ire was aroused and he took
no pains to conceal it.
On the Sunday after the introduc-
ton of the carnal instruments, when
the preacher rose to announce the
first hymn, he did 1t in this wise
1.-The choir will now please to fiddle
and sing to the glory of God the 100tb

The fire last Monday thoroughly demonstrated the fact that our greatest need along the line of fire fighting is frst-class hook and ladder outfit. There is no question in our minds that if the fire laddies had had ladders with which they could have reached the roof of the Methodist church from the north side they could have saved that building intact without the loss of a shingle. We have the best fire company on earth, considering their opportunities and appliances, and they have several times saved the town from great loss; but there is a limit to the pow CTS of all men and things, unless supplemented by scientific auxiiliaries, and this IS what should be done in this city. The City Council could make no safer or more popular appropria ton than to provide frst-class hook and ladder outfit to the brave and tireless fire fighters.
