The church music as rendered tC
day doesn't seem to have that pow
er to awaken spiritual enthusiasm
that the old time choirs did. The ad
dition of an orchestra composed Q
trumpets, trombones, saxaphones
violins and other musical instru
ments accompanied by the piano, t
the choirs of today don't seem t
have that solemn convincing ton
which sacred music should have.
The writer must confess it il
pleasant to hear an orchestra play
and they have their place in thu
world but when it comes to the mu
sic for the church, lets cast aside
everything of a musical nature will
the exception of the organ with its
deep swelling notes which seem tC
awaken and appeals to the hearts
and souls of both women and men
and couses them to see in a more
clearer way their condition from a
spiritual point of view.
The choirs of today don't seem to
have the knack in singing the old
time melodies with as much fervor
as the old time singers did-"Jesus
Lover of My Soul, Let Me to Thy
Bosom Fly" when sung by conse-
Grated hearts awaken within the
bosom of the hearer that inclination
which comes to them, which desire
an insight into the better things
which are promised to all who seek
and ask.
Yes! We owe a great deal to the
singing masters of old, who labored
hard and we'll to make the old time
choirs as efficient as they were.

Why Not A Hatchery, Mr.. WallinS !
We notice that Charles Wallins is
building some poultry houses and
we understand he will go into the
raising of broilers on a large scale
in the near future.
We wish this gentleman could see
his way clear to start a hatchery. 1t
would pay!
