We see in last weeks Reporter that
our North Ward correspondent takes
exception to our note of the week be-
fore in regard to the use of the organ
in church music. Now, we did not intend
to stir up any hornets nest in regard to
the matter, for in our twenty years ex-
perience as local correspondent we
have always tried to evade newspaper
controversies of all kinds, and especial
ly religious, for we are not and never
will be bible student. Besides, we do
not think such controversies are profit
dplo oionoi " UHe redoluS puUllc Of inc
editor, but we will in this case ask one
question, and we ask it in all candor
and sincerity. That is, if you cut out the
teachings of the old testament where
do you get your authority for even
singing in church? Does it tell any
where that Christ or his disciples sang
or taught singing by note? If so, where
is it?
