—The musical
H imtioii^fimu drawn
T.ilmajo in thiK5 pru,ou
to illustrato a ninsr praotical trutfi.'^His
subject was “Tlu' Chant of the Stars, ”
and the text J>)b xxxviii, G, 7. "Who
laid the cc rncrstonc thereof, when the
morning stars sang together?”
We have all set n the ceremony at the
laying of the cornerstone of church,
asylum or Ma mie temple. Into the
hollow of the stone were placed scrolls
of history and important documents, to
bo suggestive if, 100 or 200 years after,
the building should be destroyed by fire
or torn dovfli. Wo remember the silver
trowel or iron hammer that smote the
square pit v of granite into sanctity.
Wo remember some venerable man who
presided wielding the trowel or ham
mer. Wo remember also the music as
the choir stood on the scattered stones
and timber of tb" building about to bo
constructed. Th leaves of the notebooks
fluttered in the wind and wore turned
over with a great rustling, and wo re-
mem b-r how the bass, baritone, tenor,
contralto and soprano voices commin
gled. Thi y had for many days been re
hearsing the , rial programme that it
might be worthy "f tho cornerstone lay
ing.
r.ay fj tin* Cornerstone.
In my text the poet of Ur. calls us to
a grander ceremony—the laying of the
foundation of tiii ; great tomplo-of a
world. Tim rnna rstono was a block cif
light and tho trowel was of celestial
crystal. All about and on the embank
ments of clouds stood the angelic choris
ters unrolling their librettos of overture,
and other worlds clapped shining cym
bals while the ceremony went on, and
God, tho An Itifeot, bystrokeof light aft
er stroke of light, dedicated this great
cathedral of a world, with mountains
for pillars, end sky for frescoed ceiling,
and flowering fi hi.; for a floor, and sun
rise and muinigh'; aurora for upholstery.
"Who laid the eoriwr.-itone thereof, when
tho morning stars sang together?”
Tho fact is that the whole universe
was a coned 0- cadence, an unbroken
dithyramb, a mu icnl portfolio. Tho
great shee t of Imm- nsity had been spread
out, and written on it were the stars,
tho smaller i f them minims, the larger
of them sustaim d notes. Tho meteors
marked tho w.'.ff .Y.u passages, the whole
heavens tv (.eenut with all sounds, in
tonations, m.halations, tho space be
tween the worlds a musical interval,
trembling of stellar light a quaver, tho
thunder a be J ; kf, tho wind among
trees a treble clef. That is the way God
f made all thin'.;-, a pf rfoet harmony.
L- Hut <a ■ a harp string snapped in
t the great e. b.au a. One day a voico
Bounded cv ' .uni*. One day a discord,
harsh and 1 inf '. prated upon the glo
rious antij.': n. It was Bin that made
tho dinsonauce, and that harsh discord
has bet!i sou. ding through tho centuries.
All the work if Christians aud philan
thropists cfoxuK'rs of all ages is to
Stop that discord and got .ill tilings back
into the p a harmony which was
heard at t, • laying of the cornerstone,
when tho morning stars sang together.
Before I pet through, if I am divinely
helped, I v. i’l make it plain that sin is
discord and righteousness harmony.
That iii general tiling;) are out of tune
is as plain r s to a musician's ear is the
unhappy cl uh cf el A net and bassoon
in an orchestral rendering.
Out of Time.
The world', h dthontof tunc; weak
lungs and (he atmosphere in collision,
disordered eye and noonday light in
quarrel, rheumatic limb and damp
weather in straggle, neuralgias and
paeumonn.: and consumptions and epi
lepsies in flocks sweep upon neighbor
hoods and cities. Where you find one
person with sound throat and keen eye
sight and alert ear and easy respiration
and regular pulsation and supple limb
and prime cligi tion and steady nerves,
you find a hundred who have to he very
careful iu cm. e th' J or that or tho other
physical function is disordered.
The human intellect out of tunc; the
judgment wrongly swerved, or the
memory loJuy, or tho will weak, or tho
temper inflammable, tho well balanced
mind exceptional.
Domestic l-o out of tune; only here
and there a < on jugal outbreak of incom
patibility of temper through the divorce
courts, or a f ull outbreak about a fa-
thcr’sw.ll th rough the surrogate's court,
or a case of wife beating or husband
poisoning through the criminal courts,
but thousands of families with June
outsiclo and January within.
Society ont of tuno; labor and capital
their hands on each other’s throat;
spirit of caste keeping those down in
the social w e 1<> who are struggling to
get up mid putting those who are up in
anxiety 1< -t <!. y have to come down.
No wonder tie old pianoforte of society
is all out of tune, when hyp'KTisy and
lying and ; uht rfuge and double dealing
and sycophancy and charlatanism and
revenge have for <i,000 years been bang
ing away at the keys and stamping tho
pedals.
On ail tiid* there is a shipwreck of
harmonies. Nations in discord without
realizing it. So wrong is the feeling of
nation fur nation thus symbols chosen
are fierce and destructive. In this coun
try, where our skies are full of robins
and doves and morning larks, we have
our national symbol, the fierce and filthy
eagle, iss cruel a bird as cun bo found in
all the crnithulogical catalogues. In
Gnat Britain, whore they have lambs
and fallow deer, their symbol is tho
merciku lion. In Jiussiu, where from
between her frozen north and blooming
goathi.^ 1.i:e'!y In et-dwcll, they chose
bear. And in the world’s
rente flguiu is the dragon,
^ d serpent, f< rocioQB
.And ho fond is tho world
of contention that we climbout through
the heavens and baptize onoef the othet
planets with the spirit of battle and call !
it Mars, after th<' god of war. And we
give to tho eighth •-iguof the zodiac the
name of the see;;;ion, a r r :turo which j
is chiefly celebrated i'rr its deadly sting.
But, after all, 1l:r> >sy; jl-ol ■ ere express
ive of the way nation f *!.; toward na
tion. Discord v ide us t he continent and
bridging the seas.
Creation Groan*.
I suppose you have noticed how
warmly in love dry goods stores are with
other dry goods stores, and how highly
grocerymen think of the sugars of the
grocery men on the same street. And in
what a eulogistic way allopathic and
homeopathic doetou speak of each other,
and how ministers will .sometimes put
ministers on that beautiful cooking in
strument which the English call a spit
—an iron roller with spikes on it—and
turned by a crank before a hot lire, and
then if tho minister being roasted cries
out against it the men who are turning
him say: “Hash, my brother! Wo are
turning this spit for the glory of God
and the good of your soul, and you must
bo quiet while v.'c close tho si rvico with:
Bust he the tie that binds
Our hearts in Chris:inn lovo.
The earth is diametered and circum-
fcrcnced with discord, and tho music
that was rendered at the laying of tho
world’s cornerstone, when the morning
stars sang together, is not heard now.
And though hero and there, from this
and that part of society, and from this
and that part of the earth, there cornea
up a thrilling solo of Jove, or a warble
of worship, or a sweet duet of patience,
they arc* drowned out by a discord that
shakes the earth.
Paul says, “The whole creation groau-
cth. ” And while tho nightingale, and
tho woodlark, and tho canary, and tho
plover sometimes sing so sweetly that
their notes have been written out in
musical notation, and it is found that
tho cuckoo sings in tho key of D, and
that tho cormorant is a basso in tho
winged choir, yet sportsman’s gun and
the autumnal blast often leave them
ruffled and bleeding or dead in meadow
or forest. Paul was right, for the groan
in nature drowns out the prima donnas
of tive sky.
Tartiui, the great musical composer,
dreamed one night that he made a con
tract with satuu, tho latter to bo ever
in the composer’s service. But one night
he handed to satan a violin, on which
Diabolus played such sweet music that
the composer was awakened by tho emo
tion and tried to reproduce tho sounds, i
and therefrom was written Tartini’s
most famous piece, "The Devil’s So
nata,” a dream ingenious,but faulty, for
all melody descends from heaven, and
only discords ascend from hell. All
hatreds, feuds, controversies, backbit- j
ings and revenges are the devil’s sonata,
are diabolic fugue, are demoniac phan
tasy, are grand march or doom, ate ul- !
legro of perdition.
Tli«> iEar of Uadi.
But if in this world things in general
are out of tuno to our frail ear, how
much more so to beings augehc and de-
ifie! It takes a skilled artist to fully ap
preciate disagreement of sound. Many
have no capacity to detect a defect of
musical execution, and, though there
were in one bar as many offenses against
harmony as could crowd in between the
lower F of the lass and the higherG of
the soprano, it would give them no dis
comfort, while on the forehead of tho
educated artist beads of perspiration
would stand out as a result of the har
rowing dissonance. While an amateur
was performing on a piano and had just
struck the wrong chord, John Sebastian
Bach, the immortal composer, entered
the room, and the amateur rose in em
barrassment, and Bach rushed past tho
host, who stepped forward to greet him,
and, before the keyboard had stopped
vibrating, pmt his adroit hand upon the
keys and changed the painful inharmouy
into glorious cadence. Then Bach turned
and gave sal nation to the host.
But the worst of all discord is moral
discord. If society and the world are
painfully discordant to imperfect man,
what must they he to a perfect God!
People try to define what sin is. It seems
tome that sin is getting out of harmony
with God, a disagreement with his holi
ness, with his purity, with his love, with
his commands, our will dashing with
his will, the finite dashing against the in
finite, the frail against the puissant, tho
created against tho creator. If a thousand
musicians, with flute and coruet-a-pis-
ton and trumpet and violoncello, the
hautboy and trombone and all the wind
and stringed instruments that every
gathered in a Dusseldorf jubilee, should
resolve that they would play out of
tune and pc 4 t concord to the rack and
make the place wild with shrieking and
grating and rasping sounds, they could
not make such a pandemonium as that
which rages in a sinful soul when (hid
listens to tho play of its thoughts, pas
sions and emotion—discord, lifelong
discord, maddening discord.
Tho world pays more for discord than
it doetj for consonance. High prices have
been paid for music. One man gave
$225 to hear the Swedish songstress in
New York, and another $025 to hear
her in Boston, mid another $050 to In ar
her in Providence. Fabulous prices have
been paid for sweet Bounds, but far
more has been paid for discord. The
Crimean war cost $1,700,000,000, and
the American civil war$9,500,<100,000,
and the war debts of profess* d Christian
nations are about $15,000,000,000. The
world pays for this red ticket, which
admits it to the saturnalia of broken
bones mid death agonies and destroyed
cities and plowed graves and crushed
hearts, any amount of money satan
asks. Discord! DiBCord!
Will Ih- Fut In Tune.
But I have to tell you that tho song
that the morning stars sang together at
tho laying of tho world’s cornerstone is
to resound again. Mozart's greatest
overture was composed one night when
he was several times overpowered with
sleep, and artists say they cun tell the
places in tho music whore he was full
ing asleep and the places where ho awak
ened. So the overture of the morning
stars spoken of in my text has been
adeep, but it. will awaken and be more
grandly rendered by tho evening stars
of the world’s existence than by the
morning stars, and the vespers will be
sweeter than the matins. The work of
all good men and women and of all
good churches and all reform associa
tions help to ‘rving the race back to tho
original harmony. The rebellious heart
to be attuned, social life to be attuned,
commercial ethics to bo attuned, inter-
nationality to be attuned, hemispheres
to be attuned.
In olden times the choristers had a
tuning fork with two prongs, and they
would strike it on tho back of pew or
music rack and put it to tho ear and
then start the tune, and all tho other
voices would join. In modern orchestra
the loader has a comph te instrument
rightly attuned, and he sounds that, and
all tho other p rformers tuno tho keys
of their instruments to make them cor
respond and draw the bow over tho
string and listen and sound it over
again until all tho keys are screwed to
concert pitch and tho discords melt into
one great symphony, and the curtain
hoists, and the baton taps and audiences
are raptured with Sc humann’s "Para
dise and the Pori” or Rossini’s “Stabat
Mater” or Bach’s "Magnificat” in D.
Now, onr world can never be attuned
by an imperfect instrument. Even a
Cremona would not do. Heaven has
ordained the only instrument, and it is
made' out of tho weed of tho cross, and
tho voices that accompany it aro im
ported voices, caulatrices cf tho first
Christmas night, win n heaven serenad
ed tho earth with "Glory to God in the
highest, ami on earth peace, good will
to men. ” Lest wo start too far off and
get lest in generalities, v.o had better
begin with ourselves, get onr own hearts
and lives in harmony with the eternal
Christ. Oh, for his Almighty Spirit to
attune us, to chord our will with his
will, to modulate oar lite with his life*,
and bring us into uni. ou with all that
is pure and nelf sacrificing and heavenly!
The strings of our nature aro all broken
and twisted, and the bow is so slack it
cannot evoke anything mellifluous. Tho
instrument made for heaven to play on
has been roughly twanged and struck by
influences worldly and demoniac.
O
master hand of Christ, restore this split
and fractured and despoiled and un
strung natr.ro until first it shall wail
out for our sin and then thrill with di-
vino parelou!
Con pit ta Harmony.
The whole world must also be attuned
by the same power. 1 was in the Fair
banks weighing sc:.!c manufactory of
Vermont. .Six hundred hands, and they
have never had a strike. Complete har
mony between labor and capital, tho
operatives of scores of years in their
beautiful homes near by the mansions
cf the manufactun rs, whose invention
and Christian behavior made the grenfe
enterprise. Bo ali the world over labor
and capital will be brought into eu
phony. You may have heard what is
called tho "Anvil Chorus,” composed
hy Verdi, a tunn playc d by hammers,
great and small, now with mighty
stroke, and new with heavy stroke,
beating a greac iron anvil. That is
what tho world has got toccmo t;—an
vil chorus, yardstick chorus, shuttle
chorus, tiowel chorus, crowbar chorus,
pickax chorus, gold mine chorus, rail
track chorus, locomotive chorus. It
can be dene, and it will be done. Bo all
social life will bo attuned by tho gcspel
harp. There will be as many classes in
society as now, but the classes will not
be regulated by birth or wealth or acci
dent, but by the scale of virtue and be
nevolence, and people will be assigned
to their places as good, or very good, or
most excellent. Bo also commercial life
will be attuned, and there will be 12 in
every dozen, and 10 ounces in every
pound, and apples at the bottom of tho
barrel will be as sound as those on the
top, and silk goods will not bo cotton,
and sellers will not have to charge hon
est people more than the right price be
cause others will not pay, and goods
will come to you corn spending with
the sample by which you purchased
them, ami coffee will not be chicoried,
and sugar will not be sanded, and milk
will not be chalked, and adulteration of
food will be a state prison c{Tense—aye,
all things shall bo attuned! Elections in
England ami tho United States will no
more be a grand carnival of defamation
and scurrility, but the elevation of
righteous men in a righteous way.
In tho sixteenth century tho singers
called the Fischer brothers reached the
lowest bass ever recorded, and the high
est note ever trilled was by La Bastar-
della, and Cataliui's voice had a com
pass of 3*^ octaves. But Christianity is
more wonderful, for it runs all up and
down the greatest heights ami the deep
est depths of the world’s necessity, and
it will compass everything and bring it
in accord with the song which the morn
ing stars sang at tho laying of the
world’s cornerstone. All the sacred niu-
sio in homes and concert halls and
churches tends toward this consumma
tion. Make it more amt more hearty.
Bing in your families. Sing in your
places of business. If wo with proper
spirit use these faculties, we are re
hearsing for the skies.
Heaven is to have a now song, an en
tirely new song. But I should not won
der if, its sometimes on earth a tune is
; fashioned out of many tunes, or it is one
| tone with tjie variations, so some of tho
songs of tho redeemed may have play
ing through them the songs of earth.
And how thrilling, as coming through
the great anthem of the saved, accom
panied by harpers with their harps and
trumpeters with their trumpets, if wo
should hear some of the strains of ‘ 1 Anti
och” and “ Mount Piflgah” and "Corona
tion” and "Lenox” and “St. Martin’s”
uml "Fountain” and "Ariel” and "Old
Hundred!”
How they would bring to mind the
praying circles and communion days,and
the Christmas festivals, and the church
worship in which on cartli we mingled I
1 have no idea that wbeq we bid fare
well to earth we uro to bid farewell to
idl these grand old goupel hymns which
melted and raptured our souls for so
many years Now, if sin is discord, and
righteousness is harmony, let us get out
of the one and enter the other. After
our dreadful civil war was over, in the
su nnier of 18(59, a great national peace
jubilee was held in Boston, and as an
elder of my church bad been honored by
the srlrciion of some of his music to
be rendered on that occasion I accom
panied him to the jubilee. Forty thou
sand people cat and stood in the great
coliseum erected for that purpose.
Thousands of wind and stringed instru-
meuts. Twelve thousand trained voices.
Tho masterpieces of all ages rendered,
hour after hour and day after day—Han
del’s "Judas Maocabmus, ” Spohr’s
"Last Judgment, ” Beethoven’s "Mount
of Olives,” Haydn’s “Creation,” Men
delssohn’s "Elijah,” Meyerbeer’s “Cor
onation March,” rolling on and up in
surges that billowed against the heavens.
The mighty cadences within were ac-
companicd on the outside by the ringing
of the bells of the city and cannon on
the commons, discharged by electricity,
in exact time with music, thundering
their awful bars of a harmony that as
tounded all nations. Bometimes I bowed
my bead and wept, sometimes I stood up
in the enchantment, and sometimes tho
effect was so overpowering I felt I could
not endure it, especially when all tho
voices wore in full chorus, cud all the
batons were in full wave, and all the
orchestra in full triumph, and a hun
dred anvils under mighty hammers were
in full clang, and all the towers of the
city rolled in their majestic sweetness,
and tho whole building quaked with
the boom of 30 cannon. Parcpa Rosa,
witli a voice that will never again bo
equaled on earth until tho archangelic
voico proclaims that timo shall be no
longer, rose above all other Bounds in
her rendering of onr national air, “Tho
Star Spangled Banner.” It was too
much for a mortal, quite enough for r*n
immortal, to hear, and while some
fainted one womanly spirit, released
under its power, sped away to be with
God.
O Lord, onr God, quickly usher in
the whole world’s peace jubilee, and all
islands of the ecu join the five ccuti-
iients, and all tho voices and all the mu
sical instruments of all nations combine,
and all the organs that ever sounded re
quiem of sorrow sound only a grand
march of joy, and all tho bells that
tolled for burial ring for resurrection,
and all tho cannon that ever hurled
death across the nations sound forth,'
eternal victory, and over all tlie acclaim
of earth and minstrelsy of heaven thcro
will heard one voice sweeter and
mightier than any human or angelia
voice, a voice once full of tears, but now
full of triumph, thevoiceof Christ, say
ing, "I am alpha and omega, tho be
ginning and tho end, the first and tho
last ” Then, at tho laying of tho top
stonq cf the world’s history, tho pamo
voices shall bo heard us when, at the
laying cf tho world’s cornerstone, "tho
morning stars sang together. ”
DreadM
No disease has puzzled the doctors
so completely as rheumatism—that de
plorable condition of the blood which
ao often renders the strongest man as
helpless as a babe. Their mercurial
and potash remedies may in some
cases impart temporary relief, but are
sure to ultimately result in wrecking
the entire system.
Rheumatism is a deep-seated blood
disease and only a real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
it. Most of the so-called blood reme
dies are at best only tonics and can
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One of the most frequent symptoms of
rheumatism is a tingling sensation of
the parts affected, generally brought
about from a lack of free circulation
of the blood through the very small
blood conductors. This trouble is al
ways eliminated by the use of S. S. S.;
it thins the blood, gives it a free and
forcible circulation, destroys the pois
onous microbes and restores the circu
lation to its normal condition.
Mr. Robert H. King, a prominent
and influential citizen of West Point,
Va., writes of his experience with this
dread disease:
"About five years ago I was a great
sufferer from rheumatism. I was
treated by all the leading physicians
Tho Court Canto Itach.
Judge Randolph r.f the Kansas dis
trict court was one of the frontier judi
cial officers who believed in upholding
tho dignity of tiio benrh, and, as well,
was tenacious of his own personal honor.
A divorce suit in which a gray haired
veteran of tho late war was plaintiff
came up before him while ho was on tho
circuit out in a prairie comity. The
rude courtroom was filled with specta
tors, and the old man seemed unwilling
to go on the stand in his own defense.
"I am not going to grant divorces
without good reasons, ” announced tho
court, and the plaintiff went to tho
chair that fiirved as a witness box.
"Now,” raid the attorney, "tell ns
just what your wife did to make you
leave her. ’ ’
Tho witness looked appealingly at tho
judge.
"Answer tho question, ” was the or
der.
"Well, sho called mo names.”
"That is not ground enough for a di
vorce, ” said the court sternly.
"And she neglected me.”
"Is that all?”
"And sho said that I was a coward
and a sneak because I went to the war
and came back alive. Sho said that nil
the brave and worthy pun died in bat
tle, and only the traitors and cowards
came home, and”—
1 ‘That will do, sir. The decree prayed
for in your petiticu is granted,” broke
in the judge. "I want you to under?
stand, sir, lhat this court went to that
war and Bpcut four years there—and tho
court came back too.”—Chicago Rec
ord.
Mr. Robert H. Kino.
In the state, but without relief. In
fact, my sufferings grew worse daily,
until I despaired of ever being cured..
"I had been in this wretched condw
tion for many months and was almost
a complete wreck, when I first read tho
advertisement of S. S, S. Having tried
a dozen or more ‘rheumatic cures’ and
‘blood remedies’with no success, I was
almost hopeless, but decided to give
your medicine a trial. I did so, and in
a few weeks it had made a permanent
cure of me. I was soon a well man
and have never had a touch of rheuma
tism to this day. S. S. S. is indeed
a wonderful medicine, and I shall ever
recommend it to all sufferers from this
worst of blood diseases.”
S. S. S. stands out distinctly to it
self as a real blood remedy, and for
half a century ha* been curing obsti
nate and deep-seated blood diseases
which other medicines fail to reach.
S. S. S. is not a drug store preparation
and no druggist can offer a substitute
for it. It is guaranteed purely vege
table, and contains not a particle of
potash, mercury, or any other product
of the chemist’s shop.
S. 8. S. never fails to cure Rheuma
tism, Eczema, Cancer, Scrofula, or any
other disease of the blood, it matters
not what other treatment has failed.

will be mailed free to any address.

The chief obstacles ta the progress of
education in England are paity spirit
and religions intolerance, proposals for
educational retorm are discussed and
decided, not in a philosophical spirit,
but with all the acrimony of partisans.
Yet it is admitted that the case is a
very urgent one; that England is en
gaged in a struggle with her foreign
competitors not only for th** supremacy
but even for the very existence of her
industries; that her workers aro worse
instructed tlnui their rivals and are on
that account going to tho wall, and that
better education, both cljinentary and
technical, is vital to tho continuance of
her prosperity. It is the fact that in
both town and country elementary in
struction is so backward that, even if
adequate technical schools were provid
ed, the mass of the people are unfitted
to take full advantage of them. Yet, not
withstanding all this, English statesmen
will postpone reform indefinitely if they
can sco their way to secure a party ad
vantage thereby. Tho only hope is that
public opinion may appriiciato before it
is too lute the position of edaoution,
both elementary and technical, may be
come agreed as to the direction in which
development ought to take place and
may force parliament and the govern
ment to grapple with the difficulties
which have to be overcome.—Right
