Church Music (cont. from p. 17) A .: Apparently we have never taken the trouble to tell them. M .L .: N ow , i f y o u don’t le t youngsters handle what you call the junk music, what will we give them with which to let off steam? A .: The Christian life is not a fractional thing. God is glorified as we worship Him in the great hymns o f praise, love and adora tion. These should naturally have priority in the development o f a young person’s musical makeup. But He is also glorified in the nat ural and healthy exuberance o f youth singing folksongs around a campfire o r a fireplace. M .L .: Where can we get some o f these “ exuberance” songs? A .: Inter-Varsity Christian Fel lowship some years ago put out “ Hymns,” a book that did a great deal to improve musical stand ards throughout Protestantism. Inter-Varsity now has come out with a companion book entitled “ Anywhere Sings.” In it are hymns and choruses, a splendid array o f them. In it also are camp and folk songs, some an cient and some modem . These songs are usable at summer as semblies and on campus, as well as in chapel and at home. We highly recommend “ A n y w h e r e Sings,” available from Harvest Publications fo r $1.25. M .L .: A re you against all chorus singing? A .: Not at all. Some o f our finest c h o r u s e s , such as “ Constantly Abiding,” are part o f our supe rior hymns. Singing them apart from the opening lines, as we often do, is wonderful to hear around a campfire o r at a youth rally. M .L .: I know o f a church that ran a “ hootenany,” where young people came with their guitars to sing folk songs. Then at the end o f the evening gospel music and a brief evangelistic talk were giv en. They did this to reach non- Christians who would never come to an ordinary singspiration or hymn-sing.
through the tears of Jesus, he would never be the same!
The purpose of the training at Talbot Theological Seminary is to produce skilled ministers of the Gospel whose theological knowledge is in direct proportion to a compassionate heart which seeks, in love, to share. For to know in itself is nothing. Effective training produces not just a theological thesaurus, but a throbbing thoroughfare from which the Word of God may pass to the healing of a sick and dying world. This is the Talbot* perspective! Offering B.D., Th.M. and M.R.E. degrees TALBOT THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY 13800 Biola Ave., La Mirada, Calif. 90638
