FEW CHANGES IN
CHURCH CH0|Rs'

The concensus of opinion expressed by
the clergymen, laymen and women mem
bers of the various churches throughout
the city today is that the standard or
church music in Newark has newer been
higher than 1t is at present. Several
minor changes went into effect with the
beginning of the new year in church
music circles yesterday, but alterations
have not made any material difference In
the PERSONALS OF the choirs.
Over 200, 900 c~hurchgoers must be catered
to, and the progressive trend OF cosmo-
politan competition has had its effect on
the choir loft. 1t can be truly said that
Newark is not only a city of Industry
but is also a city of Melody
