The American Guild of Organists
was organized and incorporated under
the laws Of New York State in 1895.
and since then twenty-one chapters
have been formed in various States.
The purposes of the guild are to raise
the standard OF organists. and to give
the members opportunities for meet
ing, discussing, and fraternizing. Any
church organist may be elected a men,
ber, but associates and fellows win
these degrees only after somewhat
strenuous examinations. The guild has
already had the happy effect of largely
obliterating that professional bug-a
boo, jealousy" and has provided
means for discussing many problems
that confront a church musician. As
will be seen. the local chapter embraces
within its membership many or our
most prominent organists, including
representatives from nearly all
churches, but it is a movement which
no ora sgnist can afford to ignore. The
local chapter is striving to reach all.
and hopes eventually that all organists
in the city will be enrolled as members.
A number of interesting events have
been planned for this season, such as
church services and organ recitals. and
one service at least with combined boy
choirs.
A most successful rehearsal was held
last Tuesday evening OF the evening
choir at the Church OF the Covenant
when twenty new members enrolled 1t
is Mr.. wrightson's desire to increase the
membership to 125 1t is not necessary
to be able to read music at sight. Any
one with a natural voice is welcomed

membership can be made at any of the
Tuesday rehearsals held in the Church
Of the Covenant Chapel, Eighteenth and
