Church Singing and Musical Interludes

BISHOP WHITE said that he was convinced that no one circumstance impedes singing in our churches so much as the great diversity of tunes. Interludes between the verses of the hymns are very objectionable. The voice does not require them; the sense of what is being sung is broken by them; the devotional feeling aroused is checked, and the body becomes fatigued. It seems like an imposition to get a person on his feet for devout praise, and then have the organ consume the time by its pranks.
