“Ki«t of Whittle«”
The first organ ever used iu a Scotch
Presbyterian church was built by the
famous Inventor, James Watt. It was
a small chamber affair set up for tils
owu use. V|>on going to Rlrmingliam
to live he left it behind him iu Glas
gow. There It came into the posses
sion of the minister of St. Andrew'*
church. For some time the organ
was used for weekday choir practice
only. On a Sunday in August. 1807.
however, an organist of the Episco
palian faith earned that denomination
the name of the “whistling kirk." The
shocked presbytery declared the use
of the “kist of whistles” contrary to
the kirk law. and It was ignominious-
ty cast out after a single service. Not
until lMkt was the organ tolerated In
St. Andrew’s. The ancient instrument

her to cu. down the trees for firewood
and for his dugout canoes, and when
they arrive at the spot In the forest or
jungle where he decides to build his
town the women must clear .away the
tangled forest. To civilized minds tree
felling, wood carrying and jungle clear
ing are certainly laborious work for
women, but an African woman knows
nothing else, yet hers are much more
healthful tasks than the white wom
