Not Biblical

Theology emanating from Gainesville, Tex., tickled the ear of the musical press last week. The Gainesville despatch in part:

"Evangelist G. A. Dunn Jr., spoke to a capacity audience at the Central Church of Christ, Wednesday evening, on 'Why Instrumental Music Should Not Be Used in the Worship.' The speaker essayed to show that the Bible is specific in its use of terms, and not general; and, furthermore, because an instrument is proper in the home or heaven does not justify its use in the church today.

"The speaker showed that Jesus, the apostles and disciples sang, and asserted that he would be converted to the use of man-made instruments if one would show him that Jesus or the apostles ever touched one of these instruments."
