The pastor claims the right tot to cse his flock with the doctrine which he believes orthodox, but to dictate to them what buse they shall sing during the services. That, he declares, is the prerogative of a pastor. On the other hand, the organist regards such a clair as suclesiastical fyrrany, and will not sub- mit to it on any consideration. He does not attempt to interfere with the minister's dogma,MPRESS and will not have that gentleman meddling with the music-ler. The dispute has reached the stage of a strike, the organist and the choir refusing to perform, and the minister being left to lead the palmiody as best ho can.
