one can vouch for after having
heard Cy hollering around the
house asking his wife where in tar
nashion he put his hoe when he
come in from work the previous
evg.
But when it comes to singing Cy
don't even whisper. And last
Sat'd'y, said the Rev. Moore, he
heard Eph Higgins, our accomno-
dating P. NJ, boiler out of the P.
0. to Deacon Butterworth and tell
him what was writ on a post card
that Deacon Andrews had Just
reed, but when Eph comes to
church the next day he wagged his
| lips all through Hymn No. 6S, but
never made sound.
Mrs. Snod Petersby, said Rev.
Moore, is not a member of our con-
gregashion of who we should be
proud. Mrs. Snod has a chronic
habit of being unable to keep up
with nusick, and is always three
notes behind everybody in the
hymns, but she sings out loud and
clear, so that nobody can doubt
but what she is singing. Miss Mol
| lie Underwood, also, who plays the
melodeum for the choir, sings as
she plays. She knows she can't
sing, but she goes ahed just the
same. Miss Phronicia Watkins al
so has a turrible peclculiar voice,
and frel1wently wanders from one
Hymn to another while singing, but
she never stops.
| But all the men. said Rev. Moore,
just open their mouths and wag
their lips and never maik sound.
CONSEQUENTLY the singing is tur-
rible bad.
| Now, said Rev. Moore, if all
these men sing right out, no matter
how poor they are at singing, all
the bad singing will kind of blend
together and will sound nearly
good. What does it matter, asked
Rev. Moore, if the first attempt at
singing does make these men per
Ispire on the forrad and the neck
The blame fools think everyone is
watching them. This amt so. In
church singing, everyone is toe
much bothered with how he is get
ting on hisself to care a boot about
how others is singing.
: Let their be end to this silent
singing, said Rev. Moore, and let
everyone join in. We heartily sec
ond this moshion. At present the
singing is something offal. Let
everyone open their mouths and
t boiler right out. People that can't
pay Rev. Moore's back salary or
to be willing to sing for him.

we was just racking our brains
for htten subjeckt for this wk's
editorial, when the Rev. SamI
Moore, our beloved pastor, come in
to our sanckturn and urged us to
write a editorial on the subjeckt
of the singing in the Bingville
church.
This seemed to us nothing more
or less than a gift of Providence,
being as how editorial is one of
the most trying things to bring
forth, and productive of more
mental anguish on the part of the
writer than any known form of lit
Iteratchure. Sometimes when we
are to think of a editorial we will

sessions onto the floor, so deep dc

would extend to him the assistants

had we done so than the Rev
Moore seated hisself in chair ant
