Instrumental Music in the Public Worship of the Church

It will, no doubt, be said that the attempt to prove the unjustifiable employment of instrumental music in the public worship of the church is schismatical, since the practice is now well-nigh universal; that it is trivial, inasmuch as it concerns a mere circumstantial in the services of religion; and that it is useless, as the tendency which is resisted is invincible, and is destined to triumph throughout Protestant Christendom. To all this one answer alone is offered, and it is sufficient, namely: that the attempt is grounded in truth. The argument is commended to the consideration of any of God's people into whose hands it may fall; but it is especially addressed to Presbyterians, to whose venerable standards, as well as directly to the scriptures, the appeal for proof is taken. - Preface.
