the church choir'SMISSIOn and relationships
Tar mission of the choir is ps definite, mativcly apeaking os j
tha’-i the pastor. Each member of it is in an official position in.
the' church either by employment or permission, in <‘"ner case.;
th-i-c is an endorsement with the worship rrvicc. The mission m
the chosr in evangelical churches i s twofold, its primary .mission ,
j-. to sing the gospel of Christ in a defunt. va> lor tne fcpec;i-
Purnose that Christians may be strengthensi tor tneir basics in h *.,
edified and inspired to do more for Christ than those who, m :
past, have accepted the Savior but have drifted away nom llmt;
and I-lis church, may be led to realize* their back sl-dden da.:, j
return, and pledge anew their allegiance to Hun and Hts <• \
and that those who arc lost and in sin may accept Const and ■■■ |
, ;iV pd. The choir, therefore, is not onranc.cd for the purpose ol j
enslaving fine dressc.n beautiful face:-, mowing r-ff the dignity
o' the caps and gov. nr or even displaying the melodic, harmonic,
rhvjt tunic, or am a the: niiui.-al power- of individuals without a j
deep sense of c . rsc : v.u ■. -i ; i the srrv. o
The secondary mission ol the choir to km! in the congioga* ;
tioiial singing.
CHOIR RELATIONSHIPS
1 There are certaijj person:- A u : .ni.rations with which the ,
choir has vital relationships I; the .. •..'-•.Dance of these relation- j
ships can be realized, the .Mlitud • . all persons concerned will
be (sympathetic and their won; u gi ;)n:r will be pleasant and mu- j
tually heipful.
I. ifhe Relationship cf the Choir to the Pa-dor
i Every choir is under obligation t the pastor and the parlor'
likewise is under obligation to the choir. If the pastor and ehoi" j
fail to cooperate, it Is because they imv- fa >d to r.-r.lizy their mu- |
tual relationships and obligations. The member; of the choir should J
re member that the pastor is the leader of tin. v.-m !•- church pro- j
pi nr.-It is the duty of choir member.; to : upper! and -rd the par.- j
y • m carrvmg' on the service of the church C..on - m.orv.’oerß shouiti
pray for the pastor, and he should be invited to m rehearsals j
and socials
li. The Relationship of the Pastor to lh<» Choir
The success of the choir depend in » largo measure upon j
the attitude of the pastor toward it Without, ins sympathy and i
eoepf),oration to the fullest exent. the choir is greatly Handicapped j
T'r.e paste,- should remember that he is pastor of tie choir in the !
sane: sense that he is pastor of the other deoar,ment-. of the church !
]i.'e, and -hould .assume the responsibilities according!;--. H should ;
attend choir rehearsals occasionally to show his interest in and j
noprf'ciati n for the efforts of the choir. lie shoould t-ike an interest'
in tin-spiritual life of choir members He should avoid making cri-I
tic:;-ms of his choir to others, privately or publicly. Appreciation j
for the chirr should be expressed privately and puublicly. The !
pastor should lend all the aid possible in the matte* of finance to j
cari-v nn the choii work lie should pray regularly for it. He should
r. -di/o that it is possible for las director and other members to
know the chatactei and type of music needed better than he does. I
111. The Relationship of the Choir to the Church
The relationship of the choir to the church carries mutual •
- - 'igai: .ns and unless they are icalized and fuifi.led a lack of j
” is * resu >s ; ;;•> vim-:. s!v-..- remember that it is only !
n p» rftot the church life. Each member shoiad be interested in, and |
take a part in other phases of the church life.

Percolator Stores Fat
Look In the back of your
kitchen closets and storerooms j
for battered or otherwise unus
able percolators. According to
home economics experts of the
New York World-Telegram, they
make vor<<L*rful storage imple
ments for used fats. The World
Telegram says:
"A coffee percolator is an ex- !
cellent container for storing used
fat. Hot fat ran he poured from
skillet or pan directly into a per- '
olator, through the wire basket.
It is strained and stored all in
one operation.”
" This is a simple method for
storing fat for reuse in cooking
When there is no longer cooking
good in fat, then Is the time to
pour it into your fa? salvage can
and sell it to your meat jlealer.
Another trouble with our com:
try is that ton many people- who
