the pillars of the church, irrespective
of their musical education. They are
supposed to represent the wishes Of the
congregation as to this most important
asset to religious fervor and set about
choosing the musicians deemed best
prepared to give them what they want.
Many times these musicians are
chosen for reasons far removed from
the character Of their musical educa-
tion and understanding, and in the
flnal analysis 1t will be found that 1t
Is some exterior pleasing quality or
their ability to impress from some
snowy angle which has earned them
their engagement.
Were pastor, Music Committee and
congregation to unite in setting a
standard Of both the kind Of music
to be performed and Of the perform
ance, the larger part Of the difficulty
would be overcome. Most musicians
are capable of supplying the best
church music were they not re-
stricted by the constant demands of
prominent church officials that they
select this or that hymn or anthem
OF little musical value, for the simple
reason that they like the melody. and
acquire certain sense OF righteous
ness when listening to it. All choir
directors have sometime experienced
feeling of Illustration when required
to give the congregation the type Of
music it wants to hear.
Only by having the planning Of the
| church music in the hands of those
who know something of the back
ground Of religious music, and having
a congregation willing to accept a
standard, can church music come into
its rightful own. Made. indeed, a part
of the service, it would represent for
those attending a distinct division be-
tween the worldly and the divine, and
impress upon them still more that the
way to salvation lies on higher plane
than what the world can provide.

Mr.. Segovia. long time resident Of
Switzerland is a great lover of noun
