MUSIC IN THE CHURCH i
‘A I'
' \ WILLIAM T. GHIMES
MEMBERSHIP OF THE CHOIR
Serious consideration should be given to Hie personnel of the
church ahfclr. Members of the choir should he assured that th -- y
are in a .place of great responsibility. It is jus! as necessary !•.*
the choir xr. mbc-rs to be consecrated :n life and character as the
minister, for the reason that the singer preaches the gospel thtough
songs, while tiie minister preaches the gospel through sermons
Unsaved persons should not be. regular members of the church
service choir, There are conditions where they may serve and
receive inspiration to join the churen, Sometime - ' --uch peison>
are called associate members. I believe tin members of the choir
:-houid belong to the church in which they serve. I don’t think
however that it is to our best interest especially in the light of
Christianity t-> make an iron ml nr unbreakable law prohibiting
a sincere Christian from serving as a singer where hi or she find
the kind of instruction conducive to his or her development; so:
in many cases a program of real musical, spiritual, and cdui at,onal
elevation is noHtfforded; and at t.-.e same time: there are those per
sons present who do thirst, for the righteousness of good \\ho>o
s me music. Thitjtf needs should be supplied somewhere by some
body. ,
Duty and responsibility demand the highest standards in to:
pec-annul rft tiie choir.
The following are suggested a? essential qualifications for regu
!;.v choir me-mbflffr, The choir member should be a conscciated
< hri.-:ian find a member of the church in which he sings it pos-;
r.ble. He should a deep sense of responsibility in car,yin, l
out the mission of the choir. A literary and rubural preparation
either from format school training or from general every day
hfe experiences and contact, personal obse - -vation and application
Tiip musical preparation should include a keen sense of pitch, a
well developed sense of rhythm, a musical v ice with blending quali
ty. the ability to read at sight music of medium difficulty, the ability
to interpret sacred music, a working know sedge of the chuic.i
hymnal, and an understanding of the- practical s’ :e of church
music.
If our choir members do not possess these qualifications :t is
the business of the church to make whatever preparation is neccs
y for their reasonable development, by securing or preparing
teachers or leaders who can properly leach and lead this very
importan t organ i/ation.
Punctuality at rehearsals and service is essential. There should
he a spirit of cooperation, with the director and fellow members
of the choir. At this point I wish to take th’s opportunity to expi
my most.sincere appreciation for the regard and great coopera
tion from the senior, junior and gospel choirs of St. James Baptist
Church, the pastor, the Rev. W. L. Mason, deacons, members and
f. .ends Choir members should maintain a reverent spirit, cheerful
disposition, be supporters of the causes of mission, be progressive
minch'd, r: vorful in attitude, careful in deportme..t. neat in ap
pearance and dignified in service mannerism.
THE RELIGIOUS LIFF.
Those in the chon should he among the most spiritual members
of the church. We rrgre 1 t - » say that in --me- cases it is just the
opp wile. Th-' fact, that they have a dofimto gospel message to bring
to the congregation through the medium A s song and instrument
carries vi ».1 the obligation of bemg what they profess. The choir
i:i every cl (tin h .-iivu.d boa >:u;G dynamo and it does not havt

upon v c j-to! cut the director can be o.ther an asset or a lia
bility.
THE SOCIAL LIFE
The : phase of choir life is usually either neglected or]
car:'do ns. There is a social side to even 7 person’s life, and the op
portunity must be given for its development.
A competent committee of choir members should plan whole
some entertaining social affairs for the choir
DEPORTMENT
Each member of the oh.dr -should realize how much depends<
upon ly.* influence, attitude, and conduct, either on or off the
choir platform. During the services members should refrain from
idle talking, or laughing and from any discussion of the dress
or looks of people in the congregation. Our presence in the choir
pit should suggest reverence to God and worship in sendee.
