Lesson for July 17, 11'19 WHY church music' Hymn books are expensive, learning new hymns is a bother, choirs are a lot of trouble.

music and let them have fifteen minutes extra' No sir; it won’t do. Say what you please, the average church-goer knows better than that. He may never have thought it out and he might not have heard of the word

’’hymnology.” but Mr. Average Churchman likes music in the church, even if he never opens his mouth himself. • • * Liturgy SINGING in church was not invented yesterday. In the Psalms, as in our own hymnals, some of the poems were originally written and intended for use in public worship The word "liturgy" simply means the order of mar,: «-r of service, and all churches have liturgies whether they give them that name or not. Our familiar "Holy, Holy, Holy." was written for use in an early mcrnlng service; "Bread of the world" was written as a Communion hymn; "Break Thou the Bread of Life” while often used at Communion was no so intended, as you can tell by reading it carefully; it was meant for use just before the reading of the Scripture. "Day is Dying in the West" is best used in an out door service "Ivory Palaces" was written one 1 Sunday afternoon in North Caro i lir.a for use tn an evangelistic meet- j ing that night it might interest ( you to leaf through your own hym- ! nal and see how many hymns were , written purposely for church use I • • • Songs of the Temple THREE liturgical Psalms are our .esson selection. Use your imagination when you read them As you read Psalm 24. think of a great procession marc hi n g i through the streets of Jerusalem I on a holy day and approaching the I tall temple sh.nmg on the city’s highest hill Singing as they climb, perhaps one part of the congrega Uon sings the question: "Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? Who shall stand in his holy place’” i Perhaps another group of voices takes up the answer: "He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart . ■" | As the great gates swing open, the chard rises: "Lift up your heads. 0 ye gates”' for the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, is marching. The liUle kings lin Israel and •ver the world: have come and gone; only the Lord of Hosts I* the King of Glory. Singing the glory of God brings It before the mind far better than reading about It in a book! Then the 84th Psalm is token from what they called the "Chief Musician’s CoUecLon,” evidently a part of what we now would call the choir library. It is the song of a man who loves the church and 1 loves the people whom he finds I there. Psalm 95:1-7b is also obvi- [ ously a song for public worship. ! and still is sung every morning in churches around the world. • • • The Best is Nut Too Good IF in ancient times when God’s people were learning to sing the noblest poems of inspired man were set to the best music avail able and used for the honor of God and the help of man. then surely Christians ought Io do no less. If ysa had a frirad earning to see yea. ooe wbo u yew respect and wish to tumor. you certainly would nut set the table with all the chipped up old kitchen chin. and you wouldn’t put wilted flowers pa the taMr •ad you certainly wouldn’t keep the radio toned to the tin-pan ■lest trash you could find on the dial.
