THE BEAUTY OF CHURCH
MUSIC
The Archbishop of Canterbury, ~pro-j posing tho toast of "The Royal College^' of Organists" at a luncheon of mem- i bcrs of that body, said that to him, next to his annual .sojourn in the Highlands, music was the greatest refresh--ment in his overburdened life. Indeed he did not think ho ever felt such excitement or so stirred to the depths as when listening to a great orchestra/ and few things were noarer to his heart than the august music of tho church. No one knew better than he how much it could do to raise, ,or how much, alas, it could do to lower, the whole standard of the spirit of worship. He regarded organists, especially those associated with church music,-as the most important and invaluable partners with the bishops and the clergy in the- fulfilment of the great responsibility for the worship of the people of this country. ■ .■'..■
