ECCLESIASTICAL MUSIC.

intended for divine service, ever re
main an obedient child and comply
with her rubrical laws and regulations
These laws and regulations on eccles
iastical chant are not of yesterday
they are rather the embodiment of the
wisdom and experience of ages; moi
are they arbitrary and capricious, but
rather considerate and most reason.
able application of sound principles OF
aesthetics to Church Music. AS the
Ten Commandments explain the nat.
ural law of God, so do the laws of the
Church pertaining to music, express
the correct, taste regarding music to
be used in the House Of God.
Church Music Must Be Grave and
Solemn. ss
Every normal Catholic musical con
science will and must with the Church
repudiate and declare unfit for the
sanctuary all music that is demonstra-
tive, sensational, frivolous and vehe.
ment. Church music must be charac-
terized by gravity and solemnity pc
culiarly it's own; it must be seIf-pos-
sessed, composed, temperate. There is
no service or devotion at which we
are not reminded of our own insult
ficiency, sinfulness and misery. Even
on Christmas morning the Kyrie Ele-
ison and the Confiteor are not omitted.
Amid the Alleuias of Easter time Mt.
Calvary with it's solemn sadness is the
center and background. For this very
reason all music that comes of levity
and is productive Of levity, merrymak-
ing and vivacity must be barred from
the sanctuary. The music resounding
in Gods temple, must at once distin-
guish itself from the strains which are
heard by the amateur in the parlor or
by the professional in the concert hall.
The music intended for divine service
must not remind us, neither by mel
ody or harmony, nor by style and char
acter of grand opera, much less of the
theater, least of all of the dancing hall.
A march movement or lively polka or
frivolous waltz can never be suitable to
introduce, accompany or bring to a
close the sacred mysteries of the altar.
Or again, a sane musical taste must
exclude from the liturgy and divine
service, music that is sentimental
emotional, effeminate, which caters to
feeling and to the senses,-no matter
how refined it may be. Music which
appeals to feeling merely and tends to
arouse morbid sentiment is not fit for
the church. Ecclesiastical music must
like classical art, appeal rather to the
will of man and not address itself to
feeling principally, thus paralyzing the
will. 1t must be neither too soft, nor
too severe, neither passionate nor wear
isome and tedious; it must be devout
ly solemn, and solemnly devout, re
served, modest, and chaste, even like
its patron st. Cecilia, virgin and mar
tyr.

who represents that she is a for,

Such a one can be prosecuted for

A good story told of Chief JUS
tice fancy beautifully illustrates
the democratic spirit of the Cath
Ollie Church. It is said that he
once stopped at a small church to
go to confession. He found a num-
Der of persons white and colored
waiting in line, and only one
priest to hear them. Some one
recognized the head of the SUI
preme Court of the United States,
and offered to step aside and give
him place. "No, no, my good
man." said the Chief Justice.
Keep your place. We are all
equal here. y

st. Paul Of the Cross used to
say: eff / were to meet a priest
and an angel of God together, !
should first salute the priest and
then the ANGEL
Many Catholics never think Of
saluting the priest when they
meet him in public unless they
know him personally, and too
often the salutation then takes the
form of a curt nod. The recogni-
ton which Catholics accord the
priest when they meet him is a
tribute, not to him personally, but
to his exalted office as the ambas-
sador of Christ.

DR.. Kelley's tribute to the late
Archbishop Quigley of Chicago,
first Chancellor of the Catholic
Church Extension Society, Of
which DR.. Kelley is president, has
been issued in pamphlet form. 1t
is a worthy tribute to a great pre-
late by one who knew him and
understood the motives that actu-
ated his conduct. It lacks even a
suggestion of the fulsome praise
and labored attempts at idealiza-
ton which too often mar the
eulogistic obituary.

The American Israelite, in a
late issue proposes a short but
weighty hypothetical question in
the following paragraph:
Suppose and this is the sea-
son of the year for such relaxa-
ton suppose the Roman Cath
Ollie organization in the United
States should determine to close
all the parochial schools for. say,
year, and decide to send all the
children to the public schools
That such is their right cannot
be questioned and that such a
move may be made in a great
emergency is at least possible,

1t is announced that Mr.. Rookie
Teller has given million dollars
to found a Protestant University
at Toxic, Japan. This is already
the seat of a Catholic University,
established few years ago by the
Jesuits and rapidly coming to the
front as splendid institution for
Catholic higher education. Is it
possible that Mr.. Rockefeller s
donation is given for the purpose
of counteracting the influence of
this Catholic University? 1t takes
more than money to make a uni
versity.

THE PERILS OF POPERY.

AT the Methodist Conference
held at Spokane, Wash, couple
of weeks ago, the following me-
mortal on "The Perils of Popery
was adopted without discussion
Whereas, Theupolitieal-ecclesi-
astical organization known as the
Roman Catholic Church has be-
come, by its great numbers, its
false dogmas,, it's peculiar, prac-
tees, it's political activity, it's hos
tility to our public schools and it's
arrogant and bigoted assumptions
of supremacy, a menace to the
well being of our public; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That we urge our
people to more fully inform them
selves concerning the history,
character, claims and purposes of
this age-long enemy of civil and
religious liberty; that we request
the editors of our official press to
open their columns freely for such
news items, correspondence and
discussion as will tend to awaken
our people to the magnitude of
this peril, and that we request our
bishops to place in the course of
study for our ministry such books
as will fortifv and prepare them
for successful resistance Of the
further aggression of papacy''
This is good Methodist doctrine
if we are to judge from what usu-
ally takes place at these confer
ences. The delegates lose no time
in discussing their own business,
if they have any, but jump into
the arena as champions of Ameri-
can freedom against the alleged
design of the Papacy to dominate
the political life of this country.
This memorial is, no doubt, in
tended as a preparation for the
Quadrennial Methodist Conference
which meets in Saratoga next
May. The delegates to that con-
ference will do favor to the
Methodist Church if they muzzle
the loquacious Bishop Burt, who
knows SO much about things that
are not so, and thus prevent a
repetition Of the disastrous conse-
quences that befell the last confer
ence held in Minneapolis. Its
aftermath was a sufficient com
mentary on the character of its
deliberations.
While the entire Methodist body
in this country must not be con-
demned for the attacks made on
the Catholic Church by some OF
the delegates to these conferences,
it will have to bear the odium OF
this anti-Catholic campaign until
it succeeds in Kidding itself OF
these blatant opponents OF an I'm
American bigotry, who conjure up
visions of "The Perils of Popery'
in order to keep themselves in the
limelight and delude their follow
ers into the belief that they are
the champions Of political freedom
when, as a matter Of fact, they are
the fossilized representatives of a
know -nothingism unworthy of a
place in museum Of antiquities.

Edifying the Faithful.

IL the Kyrie does not awaken in US
a sense of our sinfulness and unworthi-
ness, it has not edited u.s. If the Glor-
la does not make the hearers join with
the singers both on earth and in heav-
en- in praising, pleasing, and clarifying
God, it is not edifying. If the thrice
repeated Sanctus and the Benedictus
do not compel us to fall down upon
our knees in humble alteration, they
have not edited us. If the Agnus Del
does not make us humbly strike our
breasts and dispose us for Holy Com
muniOn, real or spiritual, we are not
edited, no matter what we may feel.
Not vague or underlined feelings is
church music to awaken in us, but SEN
timents of devotion suggested by the
mind and sustained by the will.
From this viewpoint the fa1Iacious
argument so often advanced, that the
people do not like strict church music,
is promptly refuted. Who are the peo-
pie? The good, pious folk, who come
to church to pray, to worship, to be edi-
fed? Or, certain people who, much
like many Catholics, come to Mass
or to evening service, because it is
fashionable or in order to enjoy mus
zeal treat, (but only with their bodily
ear, for spiritually they are often deaf,
that come to church because some
Prima Donna, or some would-be- Caruso
is going to exhibit the volume of his
or her voice and the elasticity of the
vocal chords. Such motives are not

Catholic and you may not edify such
people until Doom's Day All the rest
will soon observe the gravity, solemni-
ty and piety which breathes from the
composition as we'll as from the man
ner in which it is delivered, and will be
edited.
Let us open anew the crusade against
degenerated church music. 1t may
take generations before our American
Catholics will be led by these princi-
pies. But since they are fncontestably
true, they will slowly but surely gain
the day.

Popular Music.

But will not the character of music,
that is used for divine service, depend
principally upon the people in attend
ance? Why not give them what will
please and edify them! Let, us take
this most favorite of all objections to
strict enforcement of the laws of the
Church. 1t must be admitted that all
exterior worship which is an express
sion of our interior devotion, though
primarily for Almighty God, is also in
tended to edify. But what is edifica-
ton? To edify means to build up, to
raise, to elevate. What? The mind
and soul of man. Elevate it from the
transitory things of time to it's eternal
destinies. Publication is that state of
our soul and will which makes us
pious, reverent, heavenly God
fearing and God-loving; which prompts
us to acts of alteration, invocation and
supplication. If church music is to
cdify, it must produce such sentiments.
Now it is plain that two factors concur
in the process of edification: person
or thing producing that influence and
q person or persons yielding to that in
fiuence. If no edification is brought
about by the singing in our churches,
it must be reduced to one of two caus-
es, (there is no other alternatiye) !:
either the singing and the singers are
not edifying or the hearers are incap-
able of edification. If the singing is
not good, if the style and character of
the music rendered in the church is not
ecclesiastical, ill-befitting the place and
the time and the occasion; or If good
church-like music is poorly rendered,
if there is no proper delivery of author
lied and worthy compositions, the fault
lies with the choirmaster, and the Choir
listers. But we must remember that in
spite of appropriate singing, the hear
ers may not be edited because they are
not edifiable. Publication is with them
identical with the satisfaction and
pleasure, which they derive from lis
tening to music. What pleases us poor
moTtals, so inclined to sensual things,
may be of very dubious nature, not
edifying at ALL What is not pleasing
to the senses may be very edifying.
