Sausage, Fried Mush Makes Good Breakfast Now that children are back in school, Mrs. Homemaker should be planning a good breakfast to start the family off right for the day. Mrs Reba Staggs, home economist, points out that meat is one of the best sources of high qual ity protein and should be in eluded in the breakfast meal. She offers the combination of sausage patties and fried mush as a bigger and better breakfast which every family will enjoy. Use IV2 pounds of bulk pork sausage, shaped into patties Vz to inch thick. Place in a cold frying pan and add 2 tablespoons water; cover and simmer un til water evaporates. Remove cover, increase the heat and cook slowly until sausage is cooked through and browned, or about 30 minutes. Remove to hot platter; makes s servings. For the fried mush use 3 teaspoons salt, 6 cups boiling water, 2 cups corn meal, flour, lard or drippings. Add salt to water. Add corn meal gradually so that the water does not stop boiling. Stir constantly and boil vigorous ly for about 20 minutes. Pour into loaf pan and chill. Cut into i-inch slices. Coat with Hour and brown in sausage drippings. Yield, six servings uorn is grown in every state of the Union and on three-quarters of all the farms in the nation.

So writes Vernon Gotwals, in a recent edi tion of Presbyterian Life, in an article entitled "Music for Marrying." Noting that an increasing number of ministers and musicians are urging that . other music be substituted for these selections, the author says that the main objection to the compositions is not the music itself, but its secular nature and the associations derived from the opera and play from which the music comes. Mr. Gotwals explained in this fashion: " 'The Bridal Chorus' from Wagner's opera, 'Lohengrin', which is sung immediately following the famous Prelude to Act III, is superficially inappropriate for the use to which it is com monly put because it comes after the wedding. It is sung by the knights and ladies of the chorus inside the bridal cham ber as Lohengrin and Elsa enter. But there is a much more profound objection. The wedding itself has taken place in an atmosphere of fear, suspicion and mistrust. And the mar riage is soon to end unconsummated because of the nagging curiosity of the bride, and the enchanted state of the groom. Wagner's own words to this music are in fact dra matically ironic, and no one who knows and understands this opera could countenance the suggestion of them at a Chris tian wedding. For before the act is over Elsa and Lohengrin have quarreled bitterly, the bridegroom has killed, a rival in self-defense and because of Elsa's determination to know his true identity, he is forced to abandon his bride forever.' The author then turns his attention to the Mendelssohn number, pointing out that the composer wrote the music to Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in 1842-43, just a couple of years before Wagner began "Lohengrin Mr. Gotwals relates something of the story of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and then adds "The famous 'Wedding March was intended to be played between Act IV, in which Bottom, transformed into an ass, courts a temporarily bewitched Ti- tania, and Act V, in which Bottom and Flute and their clown ing cronies act out a hilarious performance of the story of Pyramus and Thisbe. This is just the stuff with which to end a church wedding!" He further points out that the main themes of both pieces have been burlesqued to such a degree in movies and television that the thoughtful engaged couple will want some thing less hackneyed and more appropriate. Author Gotwals is just as firm about the solos so often heard at weddings. It is their words to which he objects He points out that the Presbyterian "Book of Common Wor ship" describes marriage as a "sacred relation" and adds that the persons to be married and their guests are assembled "in the presence of God. "How then can they offer songs which glorify earthly love to the exclusion of God's love?" he asks. In this cate gory he mentions the familiar "I Love You Truly" with words and music by Carrie Jacobs-Bond, and "Oh Promise Me" com posed to words of Clement Scott by Reginald DeKoven. Of the latter he says "This song is not only secular; its words are execrable verse." "Because", according to Author Gotwals, was originally composed by Gud d'Hardelot to his own French words-the words of an unrequited lover. He adds "This might perhaps have nothing to do with the case when Edward Teschemach- er's English words, with their prayer that God's 'love may make our love divine' are used, except that whereas the music fits the composer's French words like a glove, it does not fit the English words very well at all. The result is that the poor soloist has constantly to fit such phrases as 'of hope and joy I see' or 'roses waking around my feet to five rapid sixteenth notes, to say nothing of the incongruity of the original urgent and passionate rhythm now forced onto a prayer of aspiration." Mr. Gotwals dismisses "Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life" and "Indian Love Call" with the assertion "sacred songs they are not" and then goes on to Albert Hay Malotte's musical setting of The Lord's Prayer. Of this he writes "Quite apart from the issue of liturgical propriety in allowing a soloist to usurp words which belong to the minister or congregation, here one must raise the question Jof musical quality. It has not been necessary to make a critical evaluation of the music as such in other cases. Here it may be flatly stated that the music is not suited to the words. The musical idiom is that of the romantic song or of Wagnerian opera . . . The music is counter to the spirit of Christ's instructions. 'Enter into thy closet,' he has just said (Matt., 6:6,7 KJV); 'shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret . . . Use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking'." The author admits he knows many will disagree with him, and adds that he does not wish to deprive anyone of musical pleasure, but "We have endeavored simply to explain the basis for an attitude which is spreading in our churches, an attitude which seeks to re-evaluate musical usage, especial ly in weddings." He concludes "What may be universally urged, however, is that the bride and groom give thoughtful consideration to all the music to be performed at their wedding. Where they feel incompetent to judge or choose, let them reiy on xne organist and minister. If they make their own choice, let it be an informed choice. As for the organist or musical di rector, let him be prepared to play for the wedding couple a variety of suitable pieces from his own repertoire, from which they may choose. Thus will be hastened xne aay wnen no bride need cower (before the dictates of the organist) and no organist proscribe. Wagner and Mendelssohn will have marched back to the theater whence they came; and wedding music, like all other worship service music, will be per formed to the greater glory of God and not to the honor of a pagan love."-O.S. .
