have to face troubles with many of
their laymen. The people, especially
in city churches, are being educated
to good music. There is plenty to be
had in theatres, recitals, and concerts.
After becoming trained to apprecia-
tion Of good music many find it hard
to appreciate why worship is accom-
plished any more surely by the use
of poor music, ragtime, than by that
which satisfies artistic ideals.
One church in a neighboring city
has solved the problem by employing
well paid singers, for solo work, and
allowing the congregation to do the
singing tie rest Of the time. There ia
a growing feeling that the best is
music is not too good for the churches,
and those congregations which de-
cline to provide it soon show the eff
fects.-Anderson Mail.

MUSIC IN THE CHURCHES.

The church choir, as source of
trouble, breaks into ecclesiastical
meetings, provides material for the
humorists, and figures in much fiction.
The question of operate music, versus
what are termed the "good old
hymns" has again intruded itself upon
gathering of clergymen in Philadel-
phia.
To the musicians some of the
"good old hymns" are veritable red
flags. Within the past few years many
denominations have been revising
their hymnals. Clergymen have char
aeterized the verse used with them as
doggerel, and musicians have as low
an opinion of much of the music.
Churches which decline to sae the
best in music, whether it bears the
stamp Of orthodox approval or not,

The leaves of the oak and the willow

Be scattered around and together be

Shall molder to dust and together

The infant mother attended and

The mother that infants affection

Are mingled together in sunshine anC

Still follow each other like surge upor

Intended to go to work in the after

ance there:
Mrs. Frank Mills and Mrs. w. T.
Wilkinson were hostesses Thursday
afternoon at the Country club house
to one hundred and fifty friends. The
entertainment was a song-recital CIV
en- by Mrs. Collingwood Tucker Of
Keokuk, a southern woman of viva
cious personality, who gave program
of Afro-American folk songs and PLAN
tation melodies.
In her preliminary remarks Mrs.
Tucker touched upon the growing in
terest in folk song, explaining 1t by
the scientific study which has re-
placed mere curiosity in its qaint-
ness. Her own experiences in acquir-
ing these melodies firsthand threw
considerable light on the matter.
Secular tunes and texts, she found,
were much more difficult to find be-
cause the big event of 'gittin' r'ligion"
prompted the convert to substitute
the "spirituals" for his singing of un-
regenerate days. She sang four secu-
lar melodies, however--"Kee-mo, XII
no." "Mr. Frog and Miss Mousie,"
"Mudder, is Massa Gwine ter Sell
Us?' a mournful ditty of slavery
days, and queer "Steel Drivin' Song"
with grunted caesure for the blow
of the sledge.
These numbers and the five spirit
uals" were sung without accompani-
ment. "Set accompaniment for the
piano. Mrs. Tucker said, destroys
the naive simplicity Of the tune"
The first Of the "spirituals,' What
Dat Back-Bite Gwine ter Do?' was OF
the type Of "coon-shout" built around
a new word for each four line stanza.
"Back-bit in the good old English
sense. served for one, liar for an
other, Chicken thief for the third
and "heretic" c'rici-a-tick') for the
fourth.
The plantation melodies were famil-
lar ones but are seldom interpreted
in such a charming and sympathetic
manner as displayed by Mrs. Tucker.
