Why Church Music? - Lesion (or July 17, 1949

AT THE CHURCHES

WHY church music? Hymn books are expensive, learning new hymns is a bother, choirs are a lot of trouble. Most preachers .need more time for their sermons; why not cut out the

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 Dr. Foreman 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, s 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 manner of service, and jail churches have liturgies whether they give them that name or not V Our familiar "Holy, Holy, I Holy," was written for use in - an - early morning '. service; j "Bread of the world" was written as Communion hymn; "Break Thou the Bread of Life" while often used at Communion was no so Intended, as yon can tell by reading it carefully; it i was meant for use Just before . the reading of the Scripture.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE, SERVICES "Life" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, July 17. The Golden Text is: "This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou has sent" (John 17:3). Amongf the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Ween not. And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother" (Luke 7:12-15). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Divine Truth, Life, and Love gave Jesus authority over sin, sickness, and death. His mission was to reveal the Science of celestial being, to prove what God is and what He does for man" (p. 26). "The true idea of God gives the true understanding of Life and Love, robs the grave of victory, takes away all sin and the delusion that there are other minds, and destroys mortality" (p. 323).

ST.

MARY'S CHURCH

Mass Schedule July 17 Sullivan, 7:30. ; Bugger, 9:30.

"Day Is Dying in' the West" Is best used in an out-door service, i "Ivory Palaces" was written one Sunday afternoon in North Carolina for use in an evangelistic meetling that night It might interest 'you to leaf through your own hym-

Inal and see how many hymns were 'written purposely for., church use. Songs of the Temple THREE liturgical Psalms are our lesson selection. Use your ':lhfaginat!bn"when you read' them. As you read . Psalm 24,' think of a great procession marching through the streets of Jerusalem on a holy day and approaching the tall temple , shining on the city's highest hill. Singing as they climb, perhaps one part of the congregation sings the question: "Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? Who shall stand in his holy place?" 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 chant rises: "Lift up your heads, O ye gates!" for the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, is marching. The little kings (in Israel and ; over the world) have come and ' gone; only the Lord of Hosts is 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 taken from what they called the "Chief

Musician's Collection," evidently .

a part of what we now would call the choir library. It is the song of a man who loves the church and loves the people whom he finds there. Psalm 95:l-7b is also obviously a song for public worship, and still is sung every morning in churches around the world.

The Best is Not Too Good IF in ancient times when God's people were learning to sing, the noblest poems of inspired men were set to the best music available and used for the honor of God and the help of man, then surely Christians ought to do no less. If you had a friend coming to see you, one whom you respect and wish to honor, you certainly would not set the table with all the chipped-np old ' kitchen china and you wouldn't , put wilted flowers on the table and you certainly wouldn't keep . the radio, tuned to the tin-pan-jniest trash you could find on the diaL . ''No, if you have any thing for him you . want it to' be of the- very best Why. not so with God? The house of God is no place- for cheap, bad music,- jingly meaningless, rhymes instead of noble hymns and psalms, tiresome grind-organ tunes or jazzy swiss stuff instead of music that has real power1 and beauty. If nonsense ; is bad in a sermon1 it ,is worse in a prayer and worst ol all in a hymn. If mere noise is bad in a sermon,' it is worse in a. prayer ' and. unbearably bad in ' a hymn.

THEtJOHNSONS OF CHURCUVllA

i

::;fii;:::::i:;::;:;:;::fi:::

Just a typical American family, living in a typical American town: Mr. Johnson had to climb the ladder of success the hard way but he kept on climbing. V'i&tw&m'- - a Mrs. Johnson smiled her way to happiness smiling through weariness, smiling even through tears. . Marian's life seemed to blossom overnight from dolls to dates, and with the blossoming came a beauty that is more than skin deep. - And little "Chip," for all of the mischief in his merry eyes, shows promise of the same honest courage that folks admire in "the old block." ' A certain church one of the churches for which their town was named has been mighty dear to the hearts of the Johnsons all these years. Their loyalty, their energy, their unselfish generosity have helped to make it "a fine church." And that church, through the God-given truth it is teaching, has helped make the Johnsons "fine people."
