Rev. Johnston Myers of Chicago asserts sermons alone fail to draw congregations. He proposes adding music to services to attract people, signaling a shift in church practice.
The author argues music in church should support sermons and mission not serve as entertainment. High class concerts could fund a church, but only music tied to sermon themes aids work. Patriotism and national life should shape sacred music. Historian notes President Garfield’s era and U.S. tin plate mills show industrial focus. Pennsylvania leads in tin plate production with Ohio Illinois and New York following.
The six months ending June 30 saw the largest tin plate production in U S history with nearly all mills operating at full capacity. Independent mills shipped maximum output while a few trust-owned mills were idle. The industry’s output surged as disruptions with prior periods faded.
