FEW NEW CHRISTMAS anthems
HEARD IN CHURCHES THIS YEAR
War Seriously Interferes With Publication Of Christmas
Music; One Anthem Written in War Prison, Appears;
Christians Expect the Capture Of Constantinople
Autos Cause Decrease of Churches.

Few YORK, Dec 2z.-Christmas
M carols and anthems heard by
L church worshipers this year
viii be old selections. The war hit
the labor market, and the labor mar
ket hit Christmas carol and anthem
printing. Publishers ordered their
Christmas music. as is their custom,
IN May and June last. but have re-
ceived from their printers hardly any
Of It. One Of the largest OF music
publishers, with % selections in
press, offers at this Christmas sea-
son one. and another. with Il ordered
has two IN shape 70 sell A third
publisher IS able TO offer none at all
As there are hardly more than half a
dozen publishers OF Christmas carols
and anthems in the country. there IS
next TO nothing offered that Is new.
and therefore Christmas wOrshipers
this year viii hear little indeed that
IS new.
The war is renorted by the publish
ers TO have affected Christmas music
IN another way. Hardly any English,
or French. and no German music
comes to America 81 this time. Very
little new church music Is written in
England and none at all IN France.
For two years American composers
have come forward and occupied the
field. This year the American pro-
duction has fallen off half. and that
half not printed. owing to scarcity OF
labor. The prediction Is made by
publishers at this time that unless the
war ends. American compositions viii
be fewer stiu a year hence, and that
such music as has failed to reach the
market this Christmas viii be about
the only new music to be obtained
next year.

office. and to be heard this season, is

him: male and female created he

And To every beast Of the earth. and

QUARREL AMONG BAPTIST

during the war. John D. Rockefeller.

is known he did not intend to- SPEAK
ing at the Baptist Social union OF
New York he called for a Baptist de-
nomination on new lines, in which
most things old should be forgotten
He declared primarily for service, but
added that IN rendering Il. forms Of
baptism are unimpOrtant- Immedi-
ately the Rev. G. W Mcpherson, a
well known Baptist evangelist. Rev.
Dr.. Frank ". GOodchild. OF Central
Baptist church, New York. and Rev
Dr.. Chas a. Eaton. a former Rookie
Teller pastor Of Cleveland, entered
into the controversy. Hard names
were called, Mr.. Rockefeller's gener-
al religious belief was attacked. and
one fellow Baptist expressed the
hope that Mr.. Rockefeller might quit
the Baptist fellowship.
Men in other bodies now say these
Baptist leaders performed the distinct
service Of making Christian differ
ences impossible till the war Is won.
The Sunday following the Social
unions meeting more than a dozen

preachers were heard to saw the bust
