114 XIII. "Music Among the Jews — a Parallel Controversy" This chapter scarcely rises to the dignity of argument. Its point is to show that there have been controversy and division among both Jews and Christians on the question of instrumental music in worship, which, of course, is freely granted. But other things have given rise to con- tention and strife. The singing of songs other than the Psalms of David, caused strife and division in the Presbyterian Church, but that is not a legiti- mate ...argument against the use of such songs in worship. Our author calls attention to the fact that Jews opposed the use of instruments lest they might appear to imitate Christians, and Christians opposed it lest they should seem to imitate the Jews. But it is somewhat remarkable that at first neither Jews nor Christians based their opposition on the ground that it was contrary to Scripture teaching! Bro. Kurfees quotes Thomas Aquinas, of the thir- teenth century, as follows: "Our church does not use musical instruments, as harps and psalteries, to 115 INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC IN CHRISTIAN WORSHIP praise God withal, that she may not seem to Judaize.
