HIS I Hymnal originwted in his attempts, gwhen preccntor of a village choir, » 'to provide better settings to the T, hymns than those in use. His views Eon congregational singing were set ifo-rth in an article for the Journal of Theological Students, published in 1899. It was entitled “A Practi- cal Discourse on Some Principles of Hymnâ€"singing,” and was afterâ€" A New Photograph of the Poet- wards issued as a pamphlet. It opened with St. Augustine’s words on the happiness with which he lis- tened to the psalmcdv of his day. “The emotional power . of our church music.” wrote Dr. Bridges. “is not so great as that described by St. Augustine fifteen hundred years ago.” He discussed the opin- Laurcatc‘, Dr. Robert Bridges. ion of William Law, that. even the unmusieal should sing in church, and confessed that “Law’s position is in the main sound.” “All will agree,” says the Laureate, “that hymns are that part of the church music in which it is most desirable that the congregation should join in,” but he notes that “when peo- ple are musical they would rather listen, and when they are unmusi- cal they would rather sing.” Dr. Bridges thinks it safer to hold with Law that “singing-is a. general talent” than to reserve the music of the sanctuary for professional performers. The author of ,“A Serious Call” used these words: “If a person were to forbear pray- ing because he had an odd tone in his voice, he would have as good an excuse as he that forbears from singing because he has but little management of his voice.” E‘-â€"__.

A despatch from Brantford says: The prospects are that there will be no more statute labor in the Town: ship of Brantford. At the present time there are portions which have been commuted, but the remainder has been under statute labor. The work has not been satisfactory, and on Wednesday afternoon the count cillors stated that the condition! were such that they would be forced to commute it and place the entire township roads and local improve- ment work also under a competent supervisor. The trouble was then that the farmers have been too busy to leave their farm work to attend to the roads, which are in bad con- dition. No definite action was tak- en, but later in the year it is likely that all statute labor in the town- ship will be commuted. November,. 1 $1.50 7-8 asked; December. $1.461-2. - seen Jerome ‘
