WELSH HYMNODY. -0 ——— PRACTICALLY IGNORED IN NONCONFORMIST CLILLECTIONS. OUR "FOREIGN" BOOKS. I (By a CELT.) I TWO Welsh denominations ara at pre- T Sf'nt discussing the issue of new hymnals. At the Investiture or the Prince of Wales in Carnarvon Ca,:tb in t JulY" 1011. a cclpbrarcd W pIsh hymn was sung with fervour by the assembled thousaads. It was a daring innovation to superimpose what Father Faber used to regard as the well-known Welsh fanaticism on a formal ceremony mar- shalled by the Duke of Xorfolk and the gorgsous dragons of the Herald's College. The effect on the English p?ùpie present cannot be heter Axpressed than in fb" words of the Prime Minister: When we listened to the choir singing Welsh hymns in the Welsh language to well- known and much-loved Welsh melodies, v e must have felt theie. that. we were in the presence of all the living witnesses of an mtcljing nationality." And this suggests the question: How far have editors of hymn-books, now used by English, congregations in Wales, en- deavoured to retain by judicious transla- tion—and by wedding the hallowed hines of the Principality to suitable English words-tbat mysterious soulful spirit of worship that is always associated with Welsh hymnology ? A man may spend forty years in England, yet his capacity for enjoying to the full the magnificent crescendo triumph of the native hymn can never be wholly lost. This was evi- denced in another way during the last revival; th pr?a?hin? was often Greek re,v-ii-al th,? .vas o,ten Grecir the singing broke down every limitation. The Linguistic Conditions. Under the present linguistic conditions much might be done to introduce into Anglicised districts some of the glamour of the typically Welsh service. The de- cay ,_of religions observance in those dis- tricts is a matter of general comment. The report of the Royal Commission on the Church of England and Nonconfor- mist bodies in Wales shows (1) that there exists a stronger tendency among the Wel^h-speaking population to attend divine worship (2) that the. proportion in the Welsh chapels of communicant- to tha total congregation is much higher than in English chapels: (3) that in chapels where Welsh is the language ha btt ua IJy used, there is a higher propor- tion of scholars over 15 years of age in attendance than there is in chapels and churches where English is the dominant language. Jn the face of these state- ments it is incumbent that the re- sponsible authorities should inquire how far present forms of service reflect the genius of the race, and how far the thin and phlegmatic practices introduced froua Offa's Dyke are responsible for enervat-' ing, and sometimes starving, the soul of the Welshman who has lost command over his native tongue, but retains all the responsiveness and emotionalism of the race. The Celtic Temperament. A passage in the speech of the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer during the early stages of the Disstablishmcut Bill illustrates one side of the problem we are discussing—and most fair-minded people who know the Principality will ^ibscribe, at least in part, to its con- clusions. The two centuries of neglect and the blackest indifference were very largely attributable to the fact that, although the Church is suitable to the genius of the Anglo-Saxon race, it is not suitable to a Celtic race. You make a Celt in Ireland a devout Catholic, and you may. as in Scotland and in Wales make him a strong and ultra-Protestant. You may make him, as in parts of France, even a Freethinker. But unless I am mistaken—and I think an impartial investigation will show that I am not— the very intensity and the very zeal and fervour and enthusiasm of his nature militates against th: success of the churph framed upon the basis of the Anglican Church, and that is really the reason why. in my judgment, it is not merely the neglect of bishops, it is not merely the fact that you had a good deal of corruption, but it is the fact that it is not suited to the Celtic tempera- ment.0 The Archbishop's Dictum. The argument we wish to advance here is further supported by an English gentleman who is an organist and school- master in Wales. He says: Be the future what it may, it is a fact, that Welsh people must be fed with their own food. even if it be given out in English ware." In Church hymnology, as in preaching, there is a considerable gulf between the Welsh and the English way; this differ- ence illustrates to the full the tempera- ment of the two countries, and no sane persou, since the days of the Spanish In- quisition. would dream of foisting on any people the manners, customs, ajid pre- dilections of another. The bed of Procrustes might, suit the Englishman admirably. but the Celt, with his enthu- siasm and imagination, could never feel, comfortable if eribb'd, cabin'd. and confined" by an inelastic, and monoto- nous system. The slower-wittod and more prosaic, Saxon has always had much tr, learn from the religious fervour and insigM of the Celt," said the A rehbishop of Canterbury, if lie has tried at times to contribute something in return. Whatsoever th;ngs our Church and people have known and loved of holy vision and of mystic thought—in these we cede to you ithe Welsh people) an un- challenged leadership." The English Point of View.

great pride taken by the Germans and I the English respectively in their hymn collections, adding that; it is hard to say which of the two, the German hymn- r book or ours, has least poetic worth in itself, or does least to prove genuine poetical power in the people producing it." If, as the same writer avers, the Book of Praise is a monument of a nation's weakness," what can be said in defence of the clerical authorities in Wales, who have hitched the services of our Anglicized churches to the chariot of a foreign hymnbook? The English Hymnal." it is fair to say, has not been unmindful of the excellence of Welsh tunes; on the other hand, most of the English Nonconformist collections used among us have practically ignored the hymnology of Wales—in the same way as our neighbours have airily dismissed our claim to a separate and homfe- governed Free Church Union. Tho" unchallenged leadership ack- nowledged by the Archbishop evidently finds no echo in the minds of men like the Rev. F. B. Meyer, who, after a motor tour in Wales, recently returned to Lon- don and made a report that offended the susceptibilities of every Welshman.
