A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY BISHOP BURCESS. ?? Fnbjcct : Church JVTuflic. Brooklyn. N. T.?Bishop Burgess preached Sunday morning in the Church of the Redeemer. The occasion was the dedication of the beautiful memorial organ, a gift to the church. 7 he bishop spoke on "Church Music." The text was from Psalm xciv:fl: "He that nlant"(l the ear, shall He not hear? IIo that formed the eye. shall He not sec?" Bishop Burgess said during his sermon: This orcan. "which wo dedicate today. to tho glory of Hod. has been placed hore in memory of one who was a rami till anu uevorru- worsumer in this ehnrcb. George Parker. There is a peculiar anpropriateness in the gift. ! for church music appealed to li?m with j an esnecial nower. To ir>ake this part I of our worship worthy of our church's tradition*, to make its ritual, when ritual of some kind was necessary, seemiv and historic, he was willing: to sacrifice iii?? time, his money, his strength. It has seemed to me that it would not be out of nlace for-me to sneak to yon to-day of church music and to trace its history so that wp may h? better able to estimate the value of what must always be nn adiunct to the service, the hand-maid, not the mistress. of worship. The Bibl" never c?eks to prove the e^ictencp of God. The pronhets. noets, philosophers. historians of the Old Test-iment. as well as the Apostles and Evangelists of the new. everywhere assume the Being and Personality of f-'od. Tbey do not argue for this Dosit'on. They simply claim it as their richt. Only the fool, and te only under his breath, can deny the existence of God. But if any argument is hinted at. it is rather this argument from design. which is to-day. after all. the advance of modern science, considered -it- - x A. - f XT -.11 ^ ? J ti:p most c'ikpui 01 mum an mm wuan is struck off nt white hpat. as it were, iu this glowing sentence of the Psalmist. "He that nlanted the ear. shall He rot hear? He that formed the eye. shiill-He not see?" The writer may not have known, perhaps, as mueli of human anatomy and nf the physiology of the brain as Professor James, he mav not have been as cognizant of the delicate structure of the eye and ear as one of our modern specialists, but the marvels and the beauty were before his mind in all their power when f lie wrotp tliose words. It is an argu nipnt wtiicn tne tooj aione can sex aside. that such thiners do not come by e chance and that in the Snprem? Beine: e something corresnonding to liearinc and si>einsr exists, that the music which 5 delights tlm ear of man is known to t Hod. and the elow of the sunset, the 3 sweet unfathomable beauty of the world, of the stars and of the flowers . have their existence primarily for Hod. r The horrified philosonher may call out e "anthronomorphism." but for my part e I do not fear that as much as the im personality of pantheism or material1) ism. If it is true, as Professor Sholer , says, that the naturalist has a rieht J to conclude that the universe is under the control of powef in ways like unto the mind of man then surely we have a right to believe that all our art. our music, our architecture, our paintings and sculpture are heard or seen by God and are pleasing or unpleasing to Him according as they are or are not founded upon the princples of truth. Let us not argue about this. Let us assume it now <is we speak of church music. We can watch their ways with our microscope, but we dare not assert that they do not hear commands and live in a world of thp source of which "we know nothing. So with the,universe. We can plow the heavens -with the telescope, but "we know not that -what we call the music of the spheres has no I existence and that it is only a poet's j fancy which asserts that the heavens, tl"? stars and the planets accompany the t?rns of God in their praise of the Father in Heaven. In all civilized nations I believe music has always had some connection with religion. The Greeks had no doubt carried it. as they did every art they tnnniiod tn n 11!fh crndp of excellence. 7 In rinto n'p find music is a constant source of illustration. In those days, 9 as in these, they had the- mere musis cian, who prided himself on his ear ; and lost the poetry and the meaning . of the art. "The musicians." one of the characters says bitterly, "put their e ears in the place of their minds." "Yes," replied Glaucon. "I !ike to see them laying their ears alongside of e their neighbors* faces, some saying, e ! 'That's a new note.' others declaring - that the two notes are the same." But - for Plato music had a deeper signifi canco and in one single sentence he brings out its connection with morals. "Simplicity in music," he says, "was the parent of temperance in the soul," a truth which we need to remember . to-day as never before. 'But to the Hebrews the art was sacred. Miriam with her timbals and her dances accompanied her song of victory. The majestic rhythm of the Fsalins were blended, 110 doubt, with an equally majestic music. When the people were carried away into captivity their conquerors wanted to hear them sing their beautiful national airs. But the young voices refused to answer. "How can we sing the Lord's songs in a strange land?" Browning has dramatized the scene, but the people must have been naturally musical when the shepherd lad could come with his harp and drive away the worst melancholy from the heart of the troubled monarch. I doubt not that our Lord loved the music of the Temple and that one happy moment in Holy Week was when the children of the Temple, presumably the boys who sang this d;uly service, cried out in homage to their prophet, Hosanna to the Son of David! The history of early church service is obscure, but at tlie beginning of the spventb century Gregory the Great, the Bishop of Rome, created n new era and probably a reform in the art by introducing what was known as the Gregorian tones or modes. I have not technical knowledge enough to assert whether this was original with him or e whether he revived an older method, but certain it is that the Gregorian style, if I may use such a term, has become the model of all the best and I strongest ecclesiastical music, whether 0 Roman or Anglican. t Rut during the Middle Ages oorrupe tion had set in of so serious a nature e tliat we find the Scottish Puritans and <iw> Pnniic rf !?r.mr> uliko rnmlfMrnilnir c "" * "1 - - s music. Tlie Puritans abolished all musical instruments from their churches and adopted the natural tone of voice for tlie services and prayers ^ and tlie plainest of psalm tunes, which, i, however, had all tlie grandeur of (Jres siorian chants. But it is not as well known that the Council of Trent censured for centuries tlie prevalent style Df church music with extraordinary sererity and was on the eve of forbidding >r any kind of music in the church, when l? t was saved from this extrems nc-iior tlmost by a oiracle. j t i Now why. in such different quarters, do we find such violent and virulent antagonism to church music? Let us first answer th?:t question, and then see what it was that softened that antagonism. The reason why music was condemned was because it had become a traitor in the camp. During the Middle Ages the troubadours had invented many beautiful melodies, some of them soft and pathetic, some warlike and some gay. This kind of music has developed along with the sacred, and the church composers and precentors have adopted the secular tunes and incorporated them into the masses so that the people even sang the profane words instead of those of the Latin liturgy. It is as if to-day we should have the airs of "Annie Laurie" or "Way Down on the Suwanee River" used as a theme for the communion office or played on the organ at the time of partaking of the Bread and Wine of the Body and Blood of our Lord. This abuse of music became a scandal in the chancel. Anpar/iTinii-o ?>nri orirjiriists had not learned that obedience to the clergy while on trust hns now been acquired, and the only way which seemed possible to stop the profanity was to silence the voice of organ and choir alike. You may rest assured that while there is some obscurity as to the real state of affairs, yet the desecration must have been very great when Scotch Puritans and Roman prelates -united in their condemnation of the art. What saved it, then? In the Protestant world it was Luther. His love of music was intense. Hp used to play on the flute, and said that the devil fled from its sound when he played. He wrote some of the stateliest and noblest of the German hymns. And if he did not compose the music as well, he certainly superintended its composition. This best of hymn music is really founded on the old method of plain song which Gregory the Great advocated. In these revelations which are going on all the time now in the social, the financial and political world, we find that the standard of ethics is practically that of men who have no faith in the hearing and seeing God. It is the morality for the world. Sin is not sin ' - - * *> !-1? J tyiless it is round our. jt-roviu^u me scandal is kept out of sight it is of no consequence. Large sums will be paid to the most disreputable papers under the guise of subscriptions to keep names out of the scurrilous sheets. Accounts are tampered with and entries changed or omitted, so that no one may learn the facte. And all is done because in the eyes of such men the only shame f9 the shame of the police courts and the cropped hair and striped garments of the prisons. But if the rapid machinery of modern life would stop long enough for men to think, maybe they would hear the psalmist's question ringing in their ears, "He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that made the eye, shall He not see?" Morality and music are thus seen to have the same ideal. And the church which will teach the truth of Christ in this world of sin, will have her organs tuned with the heavenly, and her music will not be made to please the oar of man, but to delight the ear of " -.i >'- tnWimo Iqnpninco ex IjrUU. 11 u UJUIC ouumui " d r?~ ? ists than the passage in the communion office, "Therefore, -with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven we laud and magnify Thv glorious name." The church thai speaks these words is speaking only unto God, and the music which must accord with such thought and language must be the music of a mind and hpart which belong unto the Lord God Almighty.
