Concerning HYMNS and Tunes.

Many thurchgoers and .churchgo-
ers will hear with approval that the
proposition to revise the Episcopal
hymnal was voted down at the con

of its inclusions, particularly those re-
tanned from the prayerbook through fa-
miliaritv and association are dear to
the children Of the church who have
their special fayerites among them. In
most instances the melody is so happily

thing on the order Of that sentimental
slush, Brighten THE Corner Where You
Are?" Certain II is that the new hymn
olhgy fails to breathe the religious
feeling which characterizes the old.
Our ideas Of a goodly, thorough re-
formation seem to be founded on
change. Whether il is an improvement
matters less apparently than the fact
that it is something different, more
nearly in accordance with the times,
which appear always to demand the
