THE HERALD AND NEWS.

we must say that in comparatively
recent years great changes have
been made in the poetical construc-
ton of the ancient songs of Zion.
At one time not so very long ago it
was possible for almost any one
who could sing to raise tune, the
Psalms having been almost wholly
confined in their metrical version
: to common metre songs, but now
the poetry has been so changed that
there are all sorts OF metre in the
book until it requires a degree of
spiritual insight to determine from
the music that the Psalms as they
are sung today are not the works OF
human composition so readily do
they conform to requirements OF
modern musical composition.
Last week the Associate Re-
formed Presbvterians at Abbevllle
held a congregational meeting Sab
bath evening, at which the subject
Of buying a piano or organ was tul-
" discussed. We are Informed by
the Press and Banner that Mr.. .
Havne McDill explained to the
congregation that a good subscrlp-
ton had been raised. and that the
opportunity of buying a nice piano
i at a reasonable price was presented );
therefore, he would move to ascer-
! tain the sentiment Of the congre-
! cation by a rising vote as to Wheth-
er or not we ought to buy a piano.
The motion was carried by rising
vote and without a single dissenting
voice, although one of the more
cautious members of the congrega-
ton refrained from voting. His
scruples, if he has any, are supposed
to have been removed after the for
NAL vote of the congregation and it
is said that all who were present
were in favor of buying the piano.
| There seemed to be doubt IN the
mad of some of the congregation
! as to whether or not the Due West
people would approve the action Of
the Psaln-singers at Abbevllle, but
! however that may be, the Abbevllle
! Seceders were unanimous in their
approval Of the piano purchase and
the instrument has now been estab-
: lished in the church. One member
! of the Abbeville congregation, we
are told, said that, while he would
agree to the piano, he would draw
the line at fiddle or a cornet. But
WHY should he do anything Of the
sort? There is authority, we be-
lieve, for the use of an instrument
of ten strings, and for the harp, and
the timbrel and high-sounding GYM
| balls. and sackbut, and psaltery,
whatever that was, but there is no
authority, we believe, for the use OF
piano. We doubt, however, that
. the use Of an instrument with few
strings, more or less, would great
| " affect the acceptability of this
part of The service. Scn1e of the
more o'd-fasl1ioned aGhcrents OF
the Seceder church might object to
the piano innovation at .Abbevllle,
but the trend Of the times appears
to be towards the adoption of many
modern methods in the service OF
the church. If the Improvement"
are to continue, it vii: become more
and nore difficult for the unframed
soul to determine the exact differ
ence between a church with a piano
and a church with an organ"
