THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 18G8. OVM RELIGIOUS COLUMN, summary of religious news. i Church Choirs. Thcro is uotbin.tr connected with tho church more beautiful and inspiring than Rood music, In which the coiirepution heartily joins in eliighig the pniUcr- of Almighty God. It mutters not whither an uatcublae or worshippers are led by a fiuarto.te, a chorus choir, or by a precentor, so that each nieinbc-rj ot tho churcu ami cuiniiogatlon does his or her i art in tbee scivice. In tho Sah. bath Hchools of the couutry the iuumc has b cjrk; popilarlzed by s'.veet spirit ml sours, in which the children sing with their Leai'ls us well s.8 their voices, and evince nu iiilercft, oftentimes, which cannot be c.citc 1 to so print, an extent in any other portion of the Sabbath School exercises. Many schools h:ive beeu built up through the soui-stirriiie bou;:s now bunjr. ChilJreu like to sins;, ft 19 perfectly natural fur them to do fo, and while they sinir they worship "their Creator in the days of their youth." It is the sre-.tt Interest h ildrcu take la their tonqs which reuden theua so be.tu tilul and nttracuvc, aud which popularise the Sabbath fccliools ot the pro 'cut lai beyond thoc Of the past. Why should not this bu the e.110 iu our cluiichrs 1 Why do not nil join In fliu injr, ncd lic'p to svll ti c ii'ithems of the living Cod?

ISo distasteful have they become in some churches, from their inditfereut selections ol nvuvc and from other causes, that changes have beeu so radical that the orgaulst Is now the only occur ant of tho choir gallery, aud the coure. gutiou is led by a preceptor, who faces the asBeaillag''. This method is approved by many, and condemned by equally as lanto a number. At tlia Fifth baptist Church, Eighteenth and S;ring Garden streets, good COLgregat ouul singing results from this plan; and while tins is to, we do not think the tannic near to j loa..-ant, and the siugiug certainly not rjjore general, than under the previous organization of the ch jiiv Iu the Rev. Dr. John Hall's church, on Fifth avenue, New York, tlie precentor kiusrmjr has beeu adapted, and admirably satieties some, while it dispieases olheis. Such is the world. Tastes differ alike iu music us in lood, aud preferences are stimulated according to the "make-up" of various objects. Quartette singing is the most popular amougst PhiladelpUians, aud generally these choii3, especially wui.ro the oieuoers belong to churchfs, give the gi'eitest suti.-laetiou. St. , Stephen's Churcu choir, ou Tenth envoi, is f among the very best in tho city. iVof. Taylor ' has secured superior native talent, and each 0110 ; feels a deep concern in the style auil character of the music, as well as in its harmony witu the othir tervices of the cdurch. If the rector pmicliea 'F,ourth-otJuly" discourse, tlie choir selects lor the opening piece soiuetuiiig mote appropriate than the toucaing autheni, "Thou art gone 10 the crave.;'' and it the scrinou is ou the deatn ot a niember, they are sure not to dis tuib the sok-multy ot the occasion by siugiug, "t'h! how lowly is Ziou," or the ,'ilalle;ujnh Chorus." The topinno at St. Stephen's is not excelled, it equalled, by any iu Pniladelphia, aud the o'.hei perls have been selected with 'equal care. Tnis choir gives satisfaction, and its music Induces the whole congre gation to sing. At West Arch Street Church the chorus choir is ia voue, under the leadiislup of Mr. Louis. Sometimes the music in this lashiouablo church 19 good, but the occasions are very tare. As a general thing there is a preat noise, but little ot the retined sud elegant music That ought to be a constant relreshmenl. The openma pieces are boisterous; they display indifferent tasto or idea ot appiv priatcness to tne sermon to be preached by ttie Rev. Ui. WillitB, and the "collection" efforts are fre-ciuently shocking. IPippeniiig in 011 Sunday evening last, the duet created a doubt whether we were in a church or a concert saloon. It was loud, inarticulate, inappropriate, and haich, and, we venture to say.no person understood live woids of it. Here are two representative men, the one having charge of two quirtette cho-.rs, aud the other a chorus. Each is well knowu iu rhuslcal circles, and each have reputations peculiar to their associations, their tuftes, their habits, aud abilities. The one demands and secures the best talent in all the parts, wbiist the other has a much laiger num ber, but all consolidated fail to make up for the performances of tho tour voices of the quartette. Mr. Louis should have a first-cla-s soprano to lead, iustead of siugiug soprttio himself whenever that part fails to make itself heard. He should diversity his open ing pieces more, and when singing the 'collec tion, give plaintive, effective chants, or solos and duets which the congregation can appre ciate bv occasionally understanding- a word or two. The sauce causes exist in West Arch as in other ci'Uiches, and congrcsrctioua 1 singii cc will never be popular or succcsiul utile.- all tin; rueuibt is of the churcli and congregation sing with lueit vo'.ces as well as the r uems.

IUi.ee, we ob-erve iu some ministers a piOuciK;s to asseit views of dectriue, and also of practice, which they tuppo-.e to be ques tioned cr rejected. . . . This sort of impro priety creeps into the petitions presented lor the conversion ot lmpeuiteut persons; when the minister prajs that they may be taught a great variety ot particulars, composing, in his view, the system of saving kuo pledge and faith ; that they tuaj bu led through a course of experience which Lo delineates iu fjstematic detail do parti eg throughout Irom the proper sphere of public supplication, except as he Introduces each fenei with the suppliant prefix, "We pray." Ncthiug but a defective apprehension of the suture of publ:c prayer can reconcile a truly devout congreurtion to these didactic sup plicatioi s. While in forai addressing Gol, ihy In fact address the people. The people feci tho prayer, not us the expressions of their own devotion to God, but as a means of peisuasiou to themsehts. l'tut of the evil thus in. curred is the check thrown upon the leror of devotion in the j ious 111 ml, 111 il nr.ot;,cr is the Injury iulW :e-.l by all who hve becou'e so fami liar wih .I.'' impropriety us cot to 1 C'ce 1. i'rhicdV, I'.n'u a METlTODISI.
