Positions In Church Choirs.

Ladies Home JournalI wish I might say that the one greatest requirement for obtaining ;t position in a city choir, is a voice. But, unfortunately, I cannot. Influence, youth, apretty or intelligent face, taste in dress, and a good address will each and all have their value in this, as in other pursuits and professions. All of the latter, however, are of only the slightest importance in comparison with the power wielded by the first of them—influence. In different cities its powers are differently limited; while, on the one hand, in some it is of almost no value at all, in others it is of equal, and sometimes even of greater importance than the voice itself.
