SentIme ntal Feature.
But of more sentimental value than
all, and perhaps matter touching
more deeply the actual worship in the
church, especially in the German
churches, was the motion of Rev.
Frederick Brezinski looking to the
restoration Of the good old German
music, as sung In the Fatherland, and
the consequent relegation of the many
modern and inferior airs that have
been adopted.
Rev Mr.. Brezinski, and other German
delegates spoke on a subject SO dear
to their hearts-the sweet and musi-
cal hymns of the Fatherland, made
even more fond to them now by their
distance from the childhood homes, in
Germany.
DR. Enders in speaking on the sub.
ject said that the music now sung
to some OF the old German hymns
sounded as bad as would the Doxology
II 1t were sung to the tune of Yankee
Doodle"
And when many American delegates
rose, and sanctioned the motion OF the
Rev. Mr. Brezinski, while paying tri
butte to the beauty of the German mu
sic. 1t called forth words Of gratitude
from the Germans. Perhaps no keen
or appreciation Of what the restoration
OF the German music means was
shown than by Carl F. Slough, Of the
Iowa Synod. an experienced director
OF music. who spoke OF the effect
which such step would have toward
unification in the Lutheran church.

ski In FULL was: Resolved. That tht
