The discussion going on in some
papers about church music
The matter is 01
more i t portance than many of
the leaders of our churches im-
! i .? i
Egme. as a matter 01 lcict nu
attention whatever is paid to this
part of the church service by the
very people whose judgment is
best. The deacons would be laugh
ed at if they undertook to regulate
the church music and even the
pastor is limited to the selection
of three hymns. All the rest is
controlled and directed by people
who sometimes feel no interest
in the -welfare of the church be
yond the reputation of the choir.
In many of the larger and more
prominent churches the singers
are hired to praise the Lord m
song and in arranging the bud
get for the year the music enters
in as a part of the general ex
pense the same as the salary of
the pastor or sexton. Choirs of
this kind, usually prefer to do
their own singing. Congrega
tional singing is not to their
taste. It jars on their nerves
It is not artistic or classic, and
cannot be. Therefore the larger
part of the service of scng is an
exclusive service in which the
neonle have no part. There is a
notion among some people tha
this class of music daws, and
that ;-t Rives tone and class to
the church. It may do the lat
ter, but as a drawing card its in
fluence is very limited indeed,
ihe average man cares not a
whit about it and the average
man is supposed to be the man
the church was established to
reach. Cultivated musicians are
no doubt attracted by the artistic
classic rendering of a musical
programme, and there are
always a few who want to be con
sidered persons cf musical taste,
but who in fact are painfully
bored, who attend these Sunday
concerts, but the plain, everyday
men and women, bearing life's
burden, and needing the strength
and comfort of a spiritual service,
go where they get these things.
The church where all the people
sing is the church where you
will find the folks that is, the real
folks. Of course the music
should be bright and soulful and
appropriate, but thepoint is that
everybody ought to feel ve'.come
to take part in the service of sontr.
and not confine it to a few who
imagine that they have wont er
ful voices and that the Lord 1 as
called them to sing for the wl ole
congregation at so much per sorg.
"This bottle of rye whiskey
was bought by a citizen of your
county from an employe of a club
of which he is not a member for
65 cents.
' This bottle of corn whiskey
was bought by a citizen of your
city from an employe of a club
of which he is not a member for
75 cents."
Mr. Davis stated that with one
exception all of these establish
ments were located on Trade,
College and Tryon streets, and
most of them near the square.
At this point Recorder D. B.
Smith, who took clown the speak
er's remarks, left the hall and,
making a complete directory of
all the drug stores and clubs on
the streets mentioned incorpora
ted these in three writs known
as the capias ad testificandum.
Sergeant J. M. Youngblood, Ser
geant Joe Orr and Policeman
Walter Orr then waited at the
front and side entrances of the
auditorium with these papers
until the service was concluded
and served them.
The courts in this State have
held that a blanket inquiry is of I
no force. This was the reason
for specifying all the establish
ments which seemed tobe brought
within the purvey of the general
indictment.
The papers served on Mr. Davis
required him to state whether or
not he had knowledge of the il
legal sale of intoxicating liquors
by the following corporations:
Manufacturers' Club, Colonial
Club, Woodall & Sheppard, Haw
ley's, Tryon Drug Company, J.

Coldest Jtnmry in 17 Years.
The weather records in the
Charlotte office of the weather
bureau show that the January
just passed was the coldest Jan
uary in 17 years and the second
coldest in 34 years. The average
temperature for the month was
less than 35 degrees and there
were 21 days when the tempera
ture was below freezing. This
with the snow and sleet made
January, 1912, quite a strenuous
month as to wreather.
