ORGAN BUILDERS WARNED.
Dr. J. F. Ohl, of Philadelphia, chairman of the
Committee on Church Music of the United Lutheran
Church of America, this week memorialized the
church at its coming convention in Chicago to "warn
organ builders that they must not include the charac-
teristics of a movie theater organ in instruments built
for church purposes." Jazz devices on church organs,
the committee's statement said, "tempt the organist,
who may himself be a movie organist, and instead of
church music the congregation is treated to movie
music." "Is it any wonder," Dr. Ohl asked, "that
children lose their reverence when in Sunday school
they are taught to sing music reminiscent of the
movies and jazz bands?"
