HYMNS ARE TRASH
"Ragtime" and "curIy Tall
Lifts for Sacred Music Are
Deprecated at Convention.
Especial to the Newark star.I

ASBURY PARK, N. J.. Aug. L.
Many of the most distinguished or
ganists of this country, at the sixth
annual convention of the National AS
ISOLATION of Organists, at Ocean
Grove, have Endorsed the following:
There are 'curly-tail' hymns, rag
time hymns and German band bass
taymns that should not be allowed
mundane existence.
There are commonplace trash
hymns, for example, the old favorites
that everyone who has ever been to
Sunday school knows, such as Throw
c:.t the Life Line, Sailor Keep
Bright and L Want to Be an Angel
These, too, should be consigned to
everlasting oblivion.
Certain of the 'ungrammatical po-
etic effusions' of hymn tunists,' no.
tably old Isaac Watts, who has more
hymns in hymnals than any other
person, except Charles Wesley, should
be rewritten or meet a similar fate.
'Amens' should not be sung to lit
tie waltzes 'hallelujahs' and 'Jlgs.
Nor should operate airs be settings
for hymns. Neither should MY Re-
deemer' be sung to 'Juanita, Let Me
Linger By Thy Side
ALSO. clergymen should attend
strictly to the theological side of their
business and not inflict musical eXpe-
riments upon puzzled and long-sufter-
Ing CONGREGATIONS that know one tune
for Nearer. My God, to Thee and do
not care about putting the words. at
the minister's discretion, to some other
air
DIR. Percy ]. Starnes, F. l. G. c. M,
London, organist of the Auditorium,
Atlanta, Ca, and possibly the most
celebrated organist attending the con-
vention. was the man who attacked
the curly tail" "ragtime' and Ger
man band bass hymn varieties.
Ragtime hymns, he said, were sur
vivals of camp-meeting days when
the music was not of such Importance
as the getting of lifting, swinging
measure that would attract the mu-
sically uneducated and not make any
demands upon their lack of know

by Charles Wesley, which goes;
Come, let us use the grace divine,
And ALL with one accord,
In perpetual covenant,

time hvmn. He whistled it to demon
err" music by Friedrich Schneider.
words again by Charles Wesley, which
reads
Let earth and heaven agree,
Angels and men be Joined,
To celebrate with me
The Saviour of mankind"
Curly tall hymns, DR.. Starnes ex-
planned, were those that were heavily
slurred, so heavily that they were i'm
possible, with mo matter how much
vocal gymnastics, " for congregational
singing "Shirland,'' by Samuel Stan
ley, words once more by Charles Wes-
ley, was such a one. 1t goes:
