~1HEPULPIT. A ERILLIAMT SUNDAY SERMON BY Cf?. CHARLES EDWARD LOCKE. Subject : Mnsic an;! Culture. Brooklyn, N. Y.?Dr. Charles Edward I.ocke. pastor of the Hanson Place M. E. Church, preached Sunday 011 "Music as a Factor in Culture." He took his text from Psalms e!:l: "Praise ye the Lord." Dr. Locke said: f rom mat moment in tne creauuu when the morning stars sang together and the brooks went singing down the hillsides of Eden, and the birds made glad the dawn of time with their thrilling melodies, music has had an indisputable place in the world. The study of music is a liberal education. Music, like poetry, makes its appeal to the noblest instincts of tbe soul. It is said that the inhabitants of Cynette. who slighted music, were the cruellest of all the Greeks and no i other town was so immersed in luxuries and debauchery. Christianity was born with a song i 01. its lips. Mary sang in thrilling * measures of the Magnificat; the angels | sang in their tumultuous hallelujah j chorus; and the shepherds sang in plaintive strains of qui:* ecstasy. And the world has been singing ever slice. Paganism does not sing; it laments. Pagodas and mosques do not lighten their sombre interiors with music, biit every Christian church, however Immhlo is n rnnservntorv of sweetest melodies. Music is ooth a science and an art. As an art it does not, as do painting and sculpture, occupy itself in reproducing nature?for it is ii.-eif a part of nature, and seeks to reveal itself. The Egyptians first excelled in music. ; hut great strides were made by the Greeks under Pythagoras. The word music is derived from a Greek term, which includes all the learing of the Muses. Of all the fine ar?s, music is the most comprehensive. The majesty of the architect, the pictures of the artist, the rhythm of the poet and the themes of all these belong to the inu. sician, whether he sits at the instrument or pours out his soul in vocal melodies. The fable tells that Mercury stretched striugs of dried skin a.toss a shell, and. striking them with his fingers, invented the lyre. The bow as a musical instrument was probably first used by the warrior, who. as he described his successes in hat :Ie, twanged the string oc his bow. *t was later discovered that the how. when drawn across certain hollow objects. produced pleasing sounds? thence the lute and the violin. Music has been called the universal language, and truly it is a means of communication between all souls, whatever clime may have given.them l)ir.~. It is the most responsive of all the arts ?the most human. It more nearly breathes and sees and feels. It possesses all the vaiying hues of the soul. The music of the siren would allure Ulysses to his death and the monotonous tones of the bell buoy di>' rppf Hip imneriled mariner to safety. Tumultuous music is the completest expression of happy souls on festal days- and tender, souibfe strains interpret the language of sad hearts when a nation mourns for its martyred heroes, Glai. hallelujah, or penitential psalm, expresses the contrasting emotions of the soul. Music was defined hy our own Sidney Lanier as "love in search of a word.'' There is an inexpressible something in the heart of man which seeks to define itself in speech, but, failing in this, music flip? to his relief and in melody he pours out his imprisoned soul. Music is the language of the over-soul: it is the sou! prolonging. or projecting itself. The highest music cannot he expressed in words. This is the explanation of the angel's advent anthem and of all mu' sic in worship. The deeper the soul life the more is one conscious of feelings beyond the limitations of articulate utterance. In the attempt of the finite soul to praise and glory tire infinite. all earthly devices of language utterly fail, and music only, which is an adjunct of the infinities, enables man to sing what he cau never express, his adoration and gratitude tc his great God and King. Consequently. whenever religion is the sincerest. then music will be the purest. Music is the echo of God's voice in the soul of man. Without that echo man's soul is a cavernous abyss, filled with specters or despair. Music is .1 gift of God. Like all the sciences, it is a radiation of divine truth. Pythagoras taught a close affinity between music and astronomy. He was right so far as he went, but music lends men up to the perpetual tliroue of glory, of which stars and cor.stellatious are but glittering scintillations. St. Cecelia, leceiving her music from angel visitants, tells the secret of the musician's power, (treat musicians are born, not made. Their extraordinary genius is an endowment manifesting itself in pliemonenai ways in childhood, as in the cases of Mozart, Liszt and Christine Nilsson. The divinity of music further appears in the fact that the greatest musicians have been good men: and to develop the mighty impulses which they have felt in their souls The great musicians have chosen lofty divine themes. This was true of .Tubal and Job, of David with his harp, and Solomon with his sweet songs. It was true of Beethoven, whose soulful sonatas have won for him a genuine priesthood of the emotions; and of Bach, whose elaborate fugues have been likened to Gothic temples in their intricate details. It was true of Mendelssohn. who, in thirty-eight years, tilled the souls of men with musical pictures: and of Batiste and Scliu mann: and of Chopin in his nocturnes; and of wierd if not unearthly I*aganiui, with his miraculous Stradivarius. It was true of Mozart, whose thirty-five years gave the world such treasures from the Infinite that he is truly exhaustless; and of Liszt, who dying as late as 1SSG. seems to belong to us. At eight he was the wonder of Europe; at twelve Beethoven embraced him as a coming master. During the days of his best work. Thomas a Kempis' "Imitation of Christ" was his constant companion, it was true of Wagner, picturesque, unique, once ostracised, now nearly worshiped. "ihe Holy Grail" is the theme of one of his masterful operas. Most true was it of Haydn, the father 4 of symphony, whose massive oratorio I of "The Creation" brings men into the ' presence of Cod's colossal creative I power; and true, indeed, of Handel, | 1 the majestic grandeur of whose mas- < terpieees has remained unequalled for two centuries. There was another in- | carnation when he produced his di- ^ vinest work, the oratorio of "The Mes- , siah." whix-li no doubt he was right in j ' believing came to him from above. j 1 It is the mission of music to soften | and remove tne asperities of men. It | ' helps to unify the race and make them ! j homogeneous. Sectarianism slinks ] into hiding places of shame, as Charles Wesley, a Methodist, sings "Jesus. Lover of My Soul."' and Toplady, a ' Calvanist, "Rock of Ages." and Sarah Adams, a Unitarian. "Nearer My Cod ! to Thee." and Whittier, a Quaker, "The Eternal Goodness," and Faber, ] a Roman Catholic, "There's a Wide- < ress in (iod's Mercy," and Doddridge. , a Kaptist. "O. Happy Day." To-day j ] these well-known hymns are sung by I . ah and claimed by all. In spite of con- | 1 j troversy and unbelief, the music of | 1 j the Christian Church is saving the I < world for the Christian Christ. The 1 hymn aud the singer are often a long ( way in advance of the sermon and , hearer in evangelizing influences. Music refines and ennobles. In the days of chivalry the sir knights studied music because of its elevating and purifying influence. Music brightens life's dark places and soothes the i heart in trouble. Many prison doors have opened and manacles burst asun- j der when troubled hearts have sung | songs in the night. Music was believed by the ancients to have healing power. . and was used as a therapeutic. Many 1 it weary soldier, tired and footsore, has : leaped on to victory under the magic '< spell of fife and drum. ] There is a quaint belief that singing j preceded speaking. Alas! perhaps one of the entailments of sin is that singing has degenerated into discordant, rasping speech. Ferhaps. when man shall have reached his highest earthly i estate the means of communication will he in the soft tones of chastest music. Music, if not more perfectly than printing, tne art preservative of all art, is surely the best interpreter of * of all art and science. The mystery ? and miracle of truth reveal their open i i srsr.k-e when studied through the at- I mospnere of music* The minster, graceful with gothic beauty, or T massive with Romanesque magnificence. can only be filled to groined i ? rrelies and spreading dome by music's { swelling tones. Music gives a motif to architecture. The art gallery's corr.dors. or belvederes only reveal ibe I master's secret in marble or canvas j as divinest music fills up all the inter- j stices of finiteness. And poetry never < reveals its most exquisite tints of beauty and truth except when in the companionship of music, its twin sis- c ter. Theology would have none but altars to the unknown God if music j < did not dream, and prophesy, and feel, i J in the priestly office. Music i; what j 1 Walter Pater called "the great Anders- i Streben-reaehing forward of all art." { K is the soul of man endeavoring to j come to its own?to express and realize | y and fulfill itself. Tt helps Browning's ' grasp to acquire its reach. Music is thus an intellectual factor. ^ il is not so much a truth seeker as it is a truth finder. It does not delve ; among the rocks, but-it comes down [ fc like a dove from above, singing. "This I i Is My Beloved Son!" It dwells in the j h heights and shouts "Excelsior!" from j c peak to peak, and makes life's dizzy j c Alpine uplands echo with hope. s Granting that music furnished to en I- v ture its initial impulse, and that music n more than any other factor sustains e the quest of man's nature for tlie high- (. est and holiest achievements. 1 dare \ t to submit the deliberate conclusion j J that instrumental, and well as vocal. | music should be a part of the public J school curriculum for every child. Alas! that the children whom posterity affords the opportunity of musical _ study often so little appreciate these " privileges, while many who crave these facilities are deprived of them by pov- j ^ erty. Even the boys and girls who are j e compelled to leave school to enter upon ; g the problems of making a living, would live a larger and more hopeful life if their musical instruction had included I familiarity with an instrument. j \ As is his Maker, so man is a spirit. | c Muscle and brain are merely temporary i j expedients by which man. as spirit, j shall for a brief season tarry upon this I earth. When painting, and sculpture, j and architecture, and. perhaps, even poetry, shall have ended their earthly ; 01 ministry, music will be revealing the [ fathomless mysteries of spirit and life. | Music is the language of celestial S< throngs. True eloquence is thought j tc winged with music. The Infinite God ! is more perfectly worshiped uritli mu- I sical accompaniment because music goes beyond language and logic and i opens up the vistas of faith through j j which can be seen the King in His ; 1 beauty. Do you ask me which is the I mightier agency for culture. Bacon j 3 or Beethoven? Spencer or Schumann? j I Kant or Mendelssohn; and I will an- ! 1 swer that science and philosophy have j ' their own important places in the foundation of intellect and character. a..d are as necessary to the soul as food to the body: music, however, not only has its mission side by side with ; r( these, but'when the present conclusions j n of men shall be abandoned for the : al completer revelations of the all truth j ri of Him who is the Way. the Truth and | a the Life, then music, which was never | a anything but divine in its nature and j ! intiueuce. shall be our old familiar j friend increasing in divinity as our ' a own evolving souls are permitted to j tl comprehend and participate in that j divinity. : y The Bod*'?

How to Listen to Music. People often get intensely excited In listening to music?letting their emotions run rampant and suffering in consequence a painful reaction of fatigue. If they would learn to yield so that the music could pass over their nerves as it passes over the Strings of a musical instrument, and then, with the new life and vigor derived from the enjoyment, would turn to some useful work, they would find a great expansion in the enjoyment of the music as well as a new pleasure in their work. If we enjoy good music and gloat over our personal pleasure in it, so to speak, it takes the life out of us. If we let the music carry us along instead of trying, in our excitement, to carry the music, it brings new life to us. I WHY TAKB 9 CALOMEL?

TTmr manr women realize that men ! struation is the balance wheel of a woman's life, and while no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, : it is not the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. Thousands of'American women, however, have found relief from all monthly 1 suffering by taking Lydia E.

It cures the condition ] which causes so much discomfort and robs menstruation of its terrors. Miss Irene Crosby, of 313 Charlton I Street East Savannah, Ga., writes: ' " Lydia E. Pinkham's V egetablo Compound is a true friend to woman. It has been of , great benefit to me, curing me of irregular , and painful menstruation when everything else bad failed, and I gladly recommend it to other suffering women." Women who are troubled with painful or irregular menstruation, backache, bloating" (or flatulence), leucorrhcea. falling, inflammation or ulceration of the uterus, ovarian troubles, that " bearing-down" feeling, dizziness. faintness, indigestion, nervous prostration or the blues, should take immediate action to ward off the seri- ; ous consequences, and be restored to ! perfect health ana strength by taking Lydia E.
