MUSIC IN THE CHURCH SCHOOL

1. Selection of Songs.

Singing, like any other expressional work, should be motivated by the lesson which has been taught. The theme of the lesson should also be the theme of the song. Some of these songs are suggested in the lesson, but others should be selected from other sources. splendid opportunity is provided for impressing missionary sentiment by selecting missionary songs to be sung just after the missionary stories have been told. This not only helps the child to appreciate the missionary hymns and songs, but the hymns also impress the lesson or stories which have been taught.

There is a natural order in which hymns should be used in our worship. The first hymn that should be used is a hymn of praise or adoration. Next there should follow a hymn of prayer. We naturally petition after our praise, and the leader fails if she does not follow this natural suggestion. When the natural sequence comes for prayer, why not pray with our voice in song as well as in conversation with God? The hymns that should follow next are hymns of exhortation. These should be didactic and call us to our duty.
