Washington, Sopt. -Dr. Talmago
today discusses a most attractive de
partment of religious worship—the
service of song. His Idea will he re
ceived with interest by all who love
to lift their voices In praise In the
Lord's house. The text is Neheralah
vii, G7, “And they had two hundred
forty and tive singing men and sing
ing women.’'
The best music has been tendered
under trouble. The tlrst duet that 1
know anything of was given by Paul
and Silas when they sang praises to
God and the prisoners heard them.
The Scotch Covenanter^ hounded by
the dogs of persecution, sang the
psalms of David with more spirit than
they have ever since been rendered.
The captives in tho text had music
left in them, and I declare that if they
could llnd amid all their trials two
hundred and forty and ttvo singing
men and singing women then in this
day of gospel sunlight and free from
all persecution there ought to be a
groat multitude of men and women
w illing to sing the praises of God. All
our churches need arousal on this sub-
jo. t. Those who can sing must throw
their souls into the exercise, and those
who cannot sing must learn how, and
it shall be heart to heart, voice to
voice, hymn to hymn, anthem to an
them, and the music shall swell jubi
lant with thanksgiving and tremulous
with pardon.
Have you ever noticed the construc
tion of the human throat as Indicative
of what God means us to do with it?
In only an ordinary throat and lungs
there are 11 direct muscles and 30 in
direct muscles that can produce a very
great variety of sounds. What does
that mean? It means that you should
sing! Do you suppose that God, who
gives us such a musical Instrument as
that, intends us to keep it shut? Sup
pose some great tyi^Hit should get pos
session of the musical instruments of
the world and should lock up the
organ of Westminster abbey, and the
organ of Lucerne, and the organ at
Haarlem, and the organ at Freiburg,
and all the other great musical instru
ments of the world. You would call
such a man as that a monster, and yet
you are more wicked if, with the hu
man voice, a musical instrument of
more wonderful adaptation than all the
musical instruments that man ever
created, you shut it against the praise
of God.

Mimic Horn In the Soul.
Music seems to have been born In tho
soul of llit‘ natural world. The omnipo
tent voice with which God commanded
the world into being seems to linger
yet with its majesty and sweetness,
and you hoar it. in the graiufield, In the
swoop of the wind amid the mountain
fastnesses, in the canary’s warble and
the thunder shock, In the brook’s tinkle
and the ocean’s paean. There are soft
cadences in nature, and loud notes,
some of which we cannot hear at all,
and others that are so territio that we
cannot appreciate them.
The animalculne have their music,
and the spicula of hay and the globule
of water are as certainly resonant
with the voice of God as the highest
heavens in which the armies of the re
deemed celebrate their victories. When
the breath of the flower strikes the air
and the wing of the tiretly cleaves it,
there Is sound and there is melody.
And, as to those utterances of nature
which seem harsh and overwhelming,
it Is as when you stand in the midst of
a great orchestra and tin* sound almost
rends your ear because you are too
near to catch the blending of the mu
sic. So. my friends, we stand too near
tho desolating storm and the frightful
whirlwind to catch the blending of tho
music; hut when that music rises to
where God Is, and the Invisible beings
who float above us, then I suppose the
harmony is as sweet as it is tremen
dous. In the judgment day, that day
of tumult and terror, there will he uo
dissonance to those who can appreciate
tho music, it will he as wdien some-
limes a great organist, in executing
some groat piece, breaks down the In
strument upon which ho is playing the
music. So when the great march of tho
judgment day Is played under the hand
of earthquake and storm and conflagra
tion the world itself will break down
with the music that Is played on It.
The fact is, we are all deaf, or we
should understand that the whole uni
verse is hut one harmony—the stars ot
the night only the Ivory keys of a
great instrument on which God’s fin
gers play the music of the spheres.
Music seems dependent on the law of
acoustics and mathematics, and yet
whore these laws are not understood
at all the art Is practiced. There tire
today ottO musical Journals in China.
Two thousand years before Christ the
Egyptians [tracticed this art. Pythag
oras learned it. Lnsus of llermioue
wrote essays on it. Plato and Aristo
tle introduced it into their schools. But
I have not much interest in that. My
chief interest h In the music of the
Bible.
MunIc of (lie limit-.
The Bitile, like a great harp with In
numerable strings, swept by the lin
gers of Inspiration, trembles with it.
So far buck as the fourth chapter of
Genesis you find the tirst organist and
harper—Juba). So far hack as flic
thirty first chapter of Genesis you
find (he tlrst choir. All up and down
the Bihlo you llnd sacred music—at
weddings, fit inaugurations, at the
treading of the wine press. The He
brews understood how to make mu
sical signs above the musical text.
When the .Tews came from their dis
tant homes to the great festivals at
Jerusalem, they brought harp and
timbrel and trumpet and poured along
the great Judaean highways a river of
harmony until In and around the tem
ple tho wealth of a nation's song and
gladness hud aecuiiiulated. In our day
on have a division of labor hi music,
ami wo huvo olio man to muko the
hymn, another man to make tho tunc,
another man to play it on the piano
and another man to sing it. Not so In
Bible limes. Miriam, tho sister of
Moses, after the passage of the Bed
sen, composed a Uoxology, set It to
music, clapped it on a cymbal and at
the same time sang It. David, the
psalmist, was at the same time poet,
musical composer, harpist and singer,
and the majority of his rhythm goes
vibrating through all the ages.
There were In Bible times stringed
Instruments—a harp of three strings
played by fret and how; a harp of ten
strings, responding only to the fingers
of the performer. Then there was the
ctOoked trumpet, fashioned out of the
horn of the ox or the ram. Then there
were the sistrum and the cymbals,
clapped In the dance or beaten in the
march. There were 4,000 Levltes, the
host men of tho country, whose only
business It was to look after the music
of 41 ie temple. These 4,000 Levltes were
divided Into two classes and offleiated
on different days. Can you imagine the
harmony when these white robed Le-
vites, before the symbols of God’s pres
ence, and by the smoking altars, and
the candlesticks that sprang upward
and branched out like trees of gold,
and under the wings of the cherubim,
chanted the One Hundred and Thirty-
sixth Psalm of David? Do you know
how It was done? One part of that
great choir stood up and chanted, “Oh,
give thanks unto tho Lord, for he Is
good!” Then the other part of the
choir, standing in some other part of
the temple, would come lu with tho
response, ‘‘For Ids mercy enduretb for
ever.” Then the first part would take
up the song again and say, “Unto him
who only doeth great wonders.” The
other part of the choir would come In
with overwhelming response, “For his
mercy ondurest forever,” until in the
latter part of the song, the music float
ing backward and forward, harmony
grappling with harmony, every trum
pet sounding, every bosom heaving, one
part of tills great white robed choir
would lift the anthem, “Oh, give
thanks unto the God of heaven,” and
the other part of the Lovlte choir would
come in with the response, “For his
mercy enduretb forever.’
Truth lu Sont*.
But 1 am glad to know that all
through the ages there has been great
attention paid to sacred music. Am
brosias, Augustine, Gregory the Great,
Charlemagne gave It their mighty
influence, and in our day the best mu
sical genius Is throwing itself on the
altars of God. Handel and Mozart
and Bach and Durante and Wolf and
scores of other men and women have
given the best [tart of their genius to
church music. A truth in words Is not
half so mighty as a truth in song.
Luther’s purmons have been forgotten,
hut the “Judgment Hymn” he com
posed is resounding yet all through
Christendom.
1 congratulate the world and the
church on the advancement made in
this art—the Edinburgh societies for
the improvement of music, the Swiss
singing societies, the Exeter hall con
certs, the triennial musical convoca
tion at Dusscldorf, Germany, and Bir
mingham, England, the conservatories
of music at Munich and Leipsic, the
Handel and Haydn and Harmonic and
Mozart societies of this country, the
academies of music in New York,
Brooklyn, Boston, Charleston, New
Orleans, Chicago and every city which
lias any enterprise.
Now, my friends, how are we to de
cide what is appropriate, especially
for churoh music? There may be 11
great many differences of opinion, lu
some of the churches they prefer a
trained choir; lu others, the old style
precentor. In some places they prefer
tho melodeou, the harp, the cornet, the
organ. In other places they think
these things are the invention of ihe
devil. Borne would have a musical in
strument played so loud you cannot
stand It, and others would have It
played so soft you cannot hear it.
Some think a musical instrument
ought to he played only in the Inter
stices of worship and then with In
describable softness, while others are
not satisfied unless there be startling
contrasts and staccato passages that
make the audience Jump, with great
eyes and hair on end, as from a vision
of the witch of Endor. But, while
there may ho great varieties of opin
ion In regard to music, It seems to me
that the general spirit of the Word of
God indicates What ought to he the
great characteristics of church music.
Adaiitlvenes* to Dovotion.
And I remark, In the tirst place, a
prominent characteristic ought to be
adaptiveness to devotion. Music that
may be appropriate for a concert hall,
or thu opera house, or the drawing
room, may be Inappropriate In church.
Glees, madrigals, ballads may be as
innocent as psalms In their places.
But church music lias only one design,
and that <s devotion, and that which
comes w.iii the toss, the swing and the
display of an opera house Is a hin
drance to the worship. From such per
formances we go away saying: “What
splendid execution! Did you ever hear
siicli a soprano? Which of those solos
did you like the better?” When, if we
had been rigidly wrought upon, wo
would have gone away saying: “Oh,
how my soul was lifted up In the pres
ence of God while they were singing
that first hymn! I never had such
rapturous vDws of Jesus Christ as my
Baviour ns when they were singing
that last doxology,”
My friends, there Is nn everlasting
distinction between music as 1111 art
and music ns a help to uc\ itiou.
Though u Beliuniauu composed It,
though a Mozart played it, though a
Boning sang it, away with it If D does
not make the heart better and honor
Christ.
Why should we rob the programmes
of worldly guyety when when we have
so many appropriate songs and tunes
composed in our own day, as well as
that magnificent Inheritance of church
psalmody which has come down fru-
giaut with the devotions of other gen
erations -tunes no more worn out than
they were when our great-grandfathers
climbed up oil them from the church
pew to glory? Dear old souls, how
they used to slug! Whet) they were
cheerful, our grandfathers and grand
mothers used to slug “Colchester.”
When they were very meditative, then
the hoarded meeting house rang
wltlr “Bouth Street” and “St. Ed
mund's.” Were they struck through
with great tenderness, they huiij;
“Woodstock.” Were thoy wrapped
In visions of the glory of the
church, they sang “Zion.” Were
they overborne with the love ami glory
of Christ, they snug “Ariel." And in
those days there were certain tunes
married to certain hi mu*, aud they
have lived In peace a great while, these
two old people, and we have no rigid
to divorce them. “What God hath
joined together let no man put asun
der.” Born as we have been amid this
great wealth of church music, aug
mented by the composl* ms of artists
in our day, we ought not to be tempted
out of the sphere of Christian harmony
and try to seek unconseernted sounds.
It is absurd for a millionaire to steal.
God I.oven IlMt-nionjr.
I remark also that correctness ought
to be a characteristic of church music.
While we all ought to take part In this
service, with perhaps a few excep
tions, we ought at the same time to
cultivate ourselves in this sacred art.
God loves harmony, and we ought to
love It. There Is no devotion in a howl
or a yelp. I:* this day, when there are
so many opportunities of high culture
In this sacred art, 1 declare that those
parents are guilty of neglect who let
their sons and daughters grow up
knowing nothing about music. In
some of the European cathedrals the
choir assemble every morning and
afternoon of every day the whole year
to perfect themselves in this art, and
shall we begrudge the half hour we
speud Friday nights in the rehearsal
of sacred song for the Sabbath?
Another characteristic must be spirit
and life. Music ought to rush from the
audience like the water from a rock-
clear, bright, sparkling. If all the oth
er part of the church service Is dull,
do not have the music dull. With so
many tlirilliug things to sing about,
awa'y with all drawling and stupidity.
There Is nothing that makes me so
nervous as to sit In a pulpit aud look
off on an audience with their eyes
three-fourths closed and their lips
almost shut, mumbling the praises
of God. During one of my journeys
I preached to an audience of 2,000
or 3,000 people, and all the music
they made together did not equal one
skylark! I’eople do not sleep at a
coronation; do not let us sleep when
we come to a Saviour’s crowning.
In order to a proper discharge of'Ihls
duty, let us stand up, save as age or
weakness or fatigue excuse us. Beated
lu an easy pew wo cannot do this-duty
half so well as \vhen upright we throw
our whole body into It. Let our song be
like an acclamation of victory. You
have a right to sing; do not surrender
your prerogative. If lu the performance
of your duty, or the attempt at it, you
should lose your place In the musical
scale aud he one C below when you
ought to be one G above, or you should
come In half a bar behind, we will ex
cuse you! Still, it Is better to do as
1’aul says, and sing “with the spirit
and the understanding also.”
Contii-vKatlonal Manic.
Again, 1 remark church music must
bo congregational. This opportunity
must he brought down within the
range of the whole audience. A song
that tin* worshipers cuunot sing Is of
no more use to them than a sermon
hi Choctaw. What an easy kind of
church it must be where the minister
docs all the preaching, aud the elders
all the praying, and the choir all the
singing! There are but very few
churches where there are “two hun
dred and forty and five singing men
and singing women.”
In some churches it is almost consid
ered a disturbance if a man let out his
voice to full compass, and the people
get up on tiptoe and look over be
tween the spring hats and wonder
what that man is making all that noise
about. In Syracuse lu a 1’resbyterian
church there was one member who
came to me when I was the pastor of
another church in that city and told
me his trouble—how that as he per
sisted In singing on the Sabbath day
a committee, made up of the session
aud the choir, had come to ask him If
he would not just please to keep still!
You have no right to sing. Jonathan
Edwards used to set apart whole days
for singing. Let us wake up to this
duty. Let us slug alone, sing m our
families, slug lu our schools, slug In
our churches.
llenven’N NhUoiiiiI Airs.
1 want to rouse you to a unanimity
In Christian song that has ..ever yet
been exhibited. Come, now; clear your
throats and get ready for this duty or
you will never hear the end of this. 1
never shall forget hearing a French
man sing the “Marseillaise” on the
Champs Ely secs, Paris, Just before the
battle of Sedan in 1870. I never saw
such enthusiasm before or since. As
Tie sang that national air, oh, how the
Frenchmen shouted! Have you ever
in an English assemblage heard a baud
play “God Save tho QueenV” If you
Iiavo, you know something about tho
I'Uhusiusm of a national air. Now, 1
tell you that these songs wo sing Sab
bath by Sabbath are the national airs
of the kingdom of heaven, and if you
do not learn to sing them here, how do
you ever expect to sing the song of
Moses and the Lamb? 1 should not be
surprised at all if some of the best
ant hems of heaven were made up of
some of the best songs of earth. May
God increase our reverence for Chris
tian psalmody and keep us from dis-
graelng it by our Indifference and fri
volity.
When Cromwell’s army went Into
battle, he stood at the head of it ouo
day and gave out the long meter dox
ology to the tune of the “Old Hun

by company, regiment by regiment, di
vision by division, joiued lu the dox
ology:

And while the sang they marched,
and while they marched they fought,
and while they fought they got tho
victory. Oh, men and women of Jesus
Christ, let us go into all our conflicts
singing the praises of Got], and then.
Instead of falling back, ns we often
do, from defeat to defeat, we will ho
marching on from victory to victory.
“Gloria In Excelsls” Is written over

of heaven, we could have “Gloria In

ChniiKeil Her Mind Ton.
A young couple in a Lancashire vil
lage had been courting for several
years. The .young man one day said to
the woman: ’
“Sail, I eanna marry t’nee.’’
“How’s that?” asked she.
“I’ve changed my mind,” said lie.
“Well, I’ll tell you what we’ll do,”
said she. “If folk know that It’s thee
as lias given me up, 1 shnnna be aide
to get another chap, but if they think
that I’ve given you up then I can get
another chap. So we’ll have banns
published, and when the wedding day
comes the parson will say to thee,
’Wilt thou have this woman to be thy
wedded wife?’ and tlia must say, ‘I
will.’ And when he says to me, ‘Wilt
thou have tills man to bo thy wedded
husband?’ I shall say, ‘I winna.’”
The day came, and when the minister
said, “Wilt thou have this woman to be
thy wedded wife?” the man answered:
“I will.”
Then the parson said to the woman:
“Wilt thou have this man to be tliy
wedded husband?” And she said:
“I will.”
“Why,” said the young man furious
ly, “you said you would say, T win-
ua.’ ”
“1 know that,” said the young wom
an, “but I’ve changed my mind since.”

“I never can toll a story and have It

man plaintively tho other day. “1

one street boy sny to another, ‘Oh,
you go buy 10 cents’ worth of [iotas*’
‘What for?’ says No. 2. ‘For 10 cents,’
yelled the other, and rau off giggling.

I’d try It on Charlie at supper. But
when I told him to go buy 10 cents’

later. He put on Ids hat and vanished
after supper, coming hack in a minute
with a little parcel that he handed to
me.
‘“What’s that?’ asked I.
“ ‘Why, the potash you said you

had hysterics on the spot. Did you

Telia lift Own Story.
In a pretty Wisconsin town not far
from Milwaukee there is a “spite
fence” which tells Its own story to all
the world. It Is a high aud tight board
affair and cuts off a view across a
number of beautiful lawns. The inai
who lives on one side of it evidently
feared that the fence would bring down
on Ids head the condemnation of his
neighbors. Not wishing to be unjustly
blamed, lie lias therefore painted on
Ids side of the fence in letters that can
be read a block away these words:
“He built this fence. I didn’t do It.”
The man on the other side also had
no idea of letting a false impression
get out. Accordingly lie has painted
on tho other side of the high barrier:
“I had to do it.”

editor of The Christian Register asked
the medical director for some points.
He said the most Important tiling was
to avoid any attempt on the part of
the preacher to accommodate himself
to his audience as if they were differ

“My wife went west the other day to
visit Iter slater who lives In California,”
said Brown with a smile. “I was tin-
able to go with her on account of being
detained bore on a matter of business
that needed my attention; so 1 went
with her as far as Chicago, saw her
safely on an overland train and then
came back. But before I left her I
looked up tho porter and gave him half
of a $.'> bill that I had torn in two, say
ing that my wife had the other half
aud that he would get that at the end
of the Journey if he would see that she
needed for nothing on the trip.”
The porter’s eyes stuck out, and he
faithfully promised that my wife
would receive the l>est of care; so 1
came away feeling that she would not
lack for anything.
“When I returned home I discovered
to my horror that I had neglected to
give my wife the other half of the bill.
Today 1 received a letter from her re
minding me of that fact and saying
that she had torn a dollar bill in two
and given it to the porter.
“Somewhere along the line there
must be a wild eyed darky with the
halves of two worthless bills In Ids
possession and a firm conviction that
tie has been worked by some sort of a
new flimflam game.
“I am very anxious to have my wife
return so I can llnd out from h r what
sort of reasoning she used when she
gave that porter a half Instead of the
whole of that $1 bill.”—Detroit Free
Press.
