Special Dispatch to The Star. - EW YORK, October 16.—A revolt against church choirs which try to monopolize the singing and dominate and entertain congregations while al- lowing them little opportunity to wor- ship with song, has been launched by the committee on church music of the United Lutheran Church in America. In a report made public today by the committee for presen- tation to the biennal convention of the Lutheran Church, opening in Richmond, Va., Tuesday, choirs are called sharply to account, not only for too much singing of anthems, but for choosing them without reference to the day or occasion. Choirs are advised by, he commit- tee to devote l2ss time to preparation for singing anthems and more to the music of the liturgy and hymn tunes of the congrega- ivileged to join. tions will feel | The Lutherans propose hereafter to voices in pralse they their own Uft up put the choirs where and to belong. To emphasize the right of the brethren to be heard in song, the committee calls attention to the fact (hat Martin Luther, founder of the Protestant Church, “can ju called the father of song,” is rich in great trea and melodies. The committee qu; tlons whether this heritage s appre- clated as it should be.

By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, October 16.—It's a far cry from a barroom to Mount Olympus, but John Masefield, the English poet, heard tldings that will take him back to Luke O'Connor, the barkeeper, who, 30 years ago, be- friended him as a hungry bdy who scoured his floor to earn a beef stew. Mr. Masefield, who arrived here with his wife on Wednesday to visit Thomas W. Lamont, banker, expressed delight yesterday on learing the new address in Greenwich Village of his “kind old friend and master” and declared he would visit him at once. Likewise, Luke, who unsuccessfully attempted to “look up” Mr. Mase- field in England last Summer, heard with surprise that the famous poet remembered him and was eager to see him again. Luke explained that, while in England last Summer, he did not know that his former protege lived in Oxford, but he went to his London publishers to make inquiries. “And I says,” he continued, * ‘Boys, I'm Luke O'Connor, a good old | friend of the poet’s.’ And, of course, I didn’t tell them he used to up my saloon, as that would have ot him in bad with those English lords ana duch But they were particular. They wouldn't give me his address and so I came home.” The old saloon in Greenwich Vil- lage is gone.
