Choir of Bethany Church,
DIXIE DEFENDS THE BETHANY CHOIR.
I have been waitn to seea reply to
'Observer" for some time, - And pej-
hsps 'Dixie Is not as close an observ
erilittlc communications as He i5 of
Music. 'But I will-say 'as one wio
loves music, and all-good things that
have a tendency to promote peace on
earth' and good will towards mankind
and to , build up yChiist's KingdoVn

l sY I am;responsible: only for what 1
say, admitting there has been much
said r about Bethany choir and
p"ir nntnnH th.t P.rr
to'wn-" correspondent, has not said
nuchof it. : And when we do - right
others will find it out; for we do not
light a candle and sit it under a bush
el Tt I have tne right concepfian ot
Mr. Observer's letter he did not fin
ish with-the right kind of spirit. And
tl here state my reason for, saving so:
A good spirit never leads any one
to do wrong, - Observer said: "As a
matter fact Bethany i choir sings al
most an octave higher, so it is impos
sible for both to ; sing together to any
advntage'
1 This sfatement is not tiue and un
grounded and it u any one j doubts
what I say let him come and hear us.
And Observer continued: VFor
that reason ;Beth an y , rejects X he use
of an organ. t z - s '
. Agajn, this statement is untrue,
I Would like 10 MrObserver's motive
in makirig;,such statements, as they
1 are huitful and discieditable. I am
one" who loves . voca1;"'iiiusic; and I
love the truth as well.v And hereafter
if any one. has any thing toxsay abaut
me sav it. But let it be the" truth.
Let our. motto be: Speak the tauth,
or speak nothinf : ' f
