Excerpt from Musical Ministries in the Church: Studies in the History, Theory and Administration of Sacred Music This volume, then, makes no pretension to be an elaborate or comprehensive treatise. It is rather a series of popular studies on selected aspects of a great and fertile sub ject, growing out of the experience of a church musician and a teacher in a theo logical seminary for many years, which are now set forth simply in the hope that the lines of thought that have proved of some interest to those who have been met as stu dents may be not without suggestiveness to a wider circle in the ministry and among church musicians generally.
