Chimes Really Old Hymn

Mrs. Elizabeth Bishop must have
approached thoughtfully the job of
choosing the music for the noon
concert today on the carlton of the
Church Of the Epiphany in the 1900
block Of G street NV.
Yesterday the chimes at the
church rang out with the music of
what some citizens protested was
Deutschland Uber Alles," the Ger

Mrs. Bishop said she was playing
an Episcopal hymn, Glorious Things
Of Thee Are Spoken, Zion, City of
Our God." The Library of Congress

pointing out that the score of the
Episcopalian hymn was the same as
that OF the German anthem.
The music was written by Franz
Joseph Haydn as part Of a suite and
later was adopted as the Austrian
national anthem. The Germans
used the music with their own
words.
