We have lately been reminded of an
experience years ago in the West. In
he section in which We We're doing
there was a large element of
xell-to-do farmers, whose religious sen
iments were strongly opposed TO mu-
,ical instruments, il the home and
,hurch, although there was progressive
element among them that regarded the
ceiling as superstitious and were putting
I aside We had occasion at one time
o visit a settlement largely OF Pennsyl
rana Germans, to see what could be
lone there IN the sale of organs. 1t was
,yident that if the ministers tthere were
wo OF them farmers who preached
without salary favored it, sales of in
could be made there We
irst called on one, who was not opposed
o the use of musical instruments,
hough he said his parish could hardly
oIerate it in him that he gave a certain
toung man, who had an ACCORDION, 4
iome III bis family over Sundays. But ,
ie advised us to see his co-laborer in
he pulpit, and we went to his homo. !
fe was tending his sweet potato patch
i the time We asked him his opinion
i organs. Presently he drew himself
rom the ground to the height Of his hoe
iandle and answered; Well, sir, / can
ell You. do not think an organ is
"a apostolic institution" And we made
hasty exit from that neighborhood
