occasion. The Kiwanis delegation
numbered about thirty and was headc
.od by President Arthur C. Wheeler.”
A special program added to the at?
tractivoness of the services.

Dr. ichregor used as the topic of
his sermon “The City of Purity and
Praise." In the opening of the ser-
mon. he spoke of the coincidence of
music week and clean-up week com:
ing together during the same period.‘
Dr. McGregor declared that the wor-
shipful life tends to become a clean
life.

"The ideal city is a clean city.”
said Dr. MoGregor. "We cal-not think
of heaven itself without thinking of
cleanliness. of purity and of holiness.
And it is our business to put that
heavenly ideal into practice right here
in our own earthly city. We shall
be better prepared to be good citi-
sens of heaven if we try to make
Norwalit a little more like heaven
while we live here.

"If religion and purity are insep-
arable. so also are religion and song.
' It would be bar dto find any kind of
religion that did not have some mu-
sic in it. It is perfectly natural for
a. man to sing when he is happy and
I suppose happiness is the root of
song and music. Religion has pro-
lduccd the world‘s greatest music. as
well as it's greatest art and architec-
ture, which is evidence enough that
( music is a natural way of expressing

religious fooling.

“if Norwalk is to be a worshipful

city. it must be a city of praise. And
{if it is a city of praise. .‘t must be a
. city of harmony and melody. That is
it would be hard to find any kind of
those qualities which make it con-
ltlnuously interesting. like the move-
ment of melody. because it has a do-
finite purpose. and constantly unify-
ing it. like the principal of harmony
which brings together its various ole-
imcnts. No city can be a city of
‘praise which is not willing to yield
its local petty interests to the her-
mony of the general good of the city."

Speaking before the Sunday Club
antidote his remarks with
selections on the Victor and piano.
Anton ‘1'. W of mm
science teacher the local Franklin
Junior High school. gave an excellent
address on the “Bible In italic" yes-
terday noon at the South Nerw'alk
Congregational Church. Since pre-
historic timos. the speaker said. music
has been associatei with life in gen-
ersl.’ at first with the dance. and as
time wont on with the religion core-
monies of the races. The first records
of the use of music in religion come
to us from the chlews. but these re-
cords are uncertain. Their. music pro-
bably bold but two of the three es-
sentialeof ouccc'ful music. that is;
melody. rythm and harmony. having
only the melody and rythin. This
rythm is displayed in the Psalms of
David. and the melody such as it was
came from such instruments as the
lute. lyre and poultry. Cythbals of
bone and the rams horn were other
instruments employed for their musi-
cal efforts.

It was King David who first made
an extensive use of music in worship.
often employing hundreds of singerI
and musicians to sing his psalms in
the temple worship. Many times the
Holy scripture refers to the musicane
of that time. and the word "Selah"
used as an ending for parts of the
Psalms is supposed to refer to a sort
of an instrumental intermesxo. From
the Vantiphcnai singing of this time
probably came the present practice of
responsive reading of scripture. Thus
it will be seen that the ancient He—
brews did not contribute much to pre-
sent day church music. The hymns re.
ferred to in certain parts of scripture
would not be recognised as such today
being little more than a simple mel-
ody with a bit of rythm. and no har-
mony whatever.

Constantine. the "Great" was the
first of the Roman rulers to recognise
the early Christian church. and prior
to his time the singing of hymns was
confined to the catacombs and other
secret meeting places. A short time
after the reign of Conuntlne. an at-
tempt was made to set up certain fixed
scales that were to be used in church
worship. but it was left to Gregory
Pope from 590 to toe to perfect the
first complete book of chants and
masses which when it was completed
was takento St. Peter's cathedral and
there chained fast m that it might not
be taken away. This work was the
first great step in brining about such
music as is used in church worship to-
day.

In the 16 century another great step
was taken. By that time the nude of
the church had become so degenerate
that the Pope threatened to do away
entirely with it's use. However the
work of l’alestrina had been so noted
for it's excellence so that ho was oomo
missioned to write and compo. new
males. and other music for the u.
of the church. This work was done so
well that it was accepted. and the day
was saved for church mmio. At. this
time. however. the only use made of
music was made by the priests and
chairs. congregational singing being
forbidden. and it was not until the re-
formation ‘that this custom was again
allowed. 1

The next important development of
church music was under the hand of
Martin Luther-wile saw that. if he al-
lowcdpougregationai singing the re-
formation would become a popular
movement. and so. taking some of the
popular secular tunes of the day. he
set them to sacred words. and gave
them to the people for ueein the new
Protestant churches. Thus we see the
beginning of our present church
hymns. and their use. Futhsrmoro the
new hymns - used by Luther were
written in the native German. and all
other church music heredo-foro had
been written and sung in Latin. This
made the singing of church hymns
popular with everyone. As an example
of Luther's work the speaker gave a
selection on the Victor of Luther's
hymn. "A Mighty Fortress is Our
God" which tune was a secular piece
before it was taken and sung with
Luther's words as we sing it today.

The last and highest form of music
in the church worship is the oratorio
which was so named because when
first sung they were used as an at-
traction to bring people into the

sermon being preached. and the re-
mainder then being given. From the
nature of the first of thee. porter.
mnnces they were not allowed in the
church proper. but were given in tho
oratory. as it was called. and thus the
name.

Later the character of the work was
improved. until today the oratorio is

expre on. Being given with no scene-
ery. and no action. it is the popular
way of expressing the highest ideals
of the bible..

The speaker throughout his ad-
dress uscd the Victor and the piano
liberally and several times sang short
bits of the work which he
to tell of. These selections were ex-
ception some of the best examples of
religious music. and with the excel-
lent'outlino of the subject made one
of the best programs enioyed by the
Club this season.
