CHURCH CHANNELS
THE WEDDING CEREMONY
Is It Losing Its
Spiritual Significance? .
The Canadian College of ph*
ganistsr^hich^
organists and choirmasters of all
denominations in Canada, has
made a thorough study of the
marriage ceremony as performed1
in a place of worship. This-group
is perturbed • at the practices
which have crept into the rite,
and, which have taken away many
of - the deeply religious signifi
cances of the marriage service.
It is felt that if proper guid
ance were given to those seek
ing marriage, i
, The annual campaign for the
Children’s- Aid Society of the
County of Bruce, is again under
way/ This community has been ‘
generously, responsive . to past
campaigns and will no doubt do
their share again this year.
County and Provincial grants
can be used only for the care of
wards of the Society, but the
Society’s work extends beyond
that of the wards alone, arid it
is because of this that the. ap
peal is made.
Donations of cash, food.stuffs. ■ *'
and clothirig are welcomed, .and
these go toward the keeping of
families together in the ..County.
Numerous instances of what the
Society is accomplishing in this
way could be related, if it were
not for the personal nature of the
assistance.
The Department of Welfare en
courages these local campaigns
and pays a 25 percent subsidy on
every dollar raised in this way/

for a religious pte, or is senti-
mentally mushy. The use of Wag
ners’ rind Meridelsshons’ “Wed-
ding Marches” were frowned oh.
First, they are excerpts from
musi^T"wKich is alhed“/to the
theatre, without any religious
meaning/ whatever. In fact, the
Wagner March, as played in the
opera, ended in a tragedy. The
Mendelssohn March is out of a
fairly tale. It was felt that Queer}
Elizabeth set a pattern, when she
walked- dowri the1 "aisle to the
music of “Praise my soul, the
King of Heaveri”, arid arranged
for the Use of “The Shepherd’s
Psalm” to Crimond, as the wed
ding anthem. Many of the solos
used in our ceremories, such as
“Because” and “I love you truly”,
are entirely out of place in a
place Of worship. Our hymnals
and. sang book contain many suit
able songs which could be used.
3. The use of the fancy foot
work in the /processional was
condemned. Surely the Mercy/
Seat should be approached with
reverence. ■„ ■ ' ' 7
4. The custom of leaving the
auditorium for . art anteroom,’
wherein to sigh the register, is
being looked upon with disfavor.
It is felt that a table placed to
One’ side in the .auditorium is
rnbre suitable. The congregation
has been called upon to witness.
Surely^ they should do so in re-
ality. . . : '//■ ■ ■. ■ . ;

marriage service, should be left
to the outside world arid riot used
