The tune "Pisgah" has been standing long enough on "Jordan's stormy banks." Let it pass over and get out of the wet weather.

Good-bye, "Antioch," "Harwell" and "Boylston." Good-bye till we meet in glory.
But if the prescription of new tunes does not end congregational singing, I have another suggestion.

Get an irreligious choir, and put them in a high balcony back of the congregation.

I know choirs who are made up chiefly of religious people, or those, at least, respectful for sacred things.

That will never do, if you want to kill the music.
