( Washington, Fob. 2. — In this dis course Dr. TaImage calls attention to causes of thanksgiving that are seldom recognized and shows Low to cultivate a cheerful spirit: test. I’snluis xxxiii. 2. “Sing unto 1dm with a psaltery and an Instrument of ten strngs.” A musician as well as p:et and con queror and Ling was David, the author of my text. He lirst composed the sa cred rhythm and then played it upon a harp! striking and plucking the strings with his lingers and thumbs. The harp is the oldest of musical instru ments. .Tubal invented it. and he- was the seventh descendant from Adam. Its music was suggested by the twang of the bowstring. Homer refers to t .:•* harp in the ••Iliad.” it is the mc.g con secrated of all instru nents. The tlnte is more mellow, the In: a- more i .r- tinl. the cornet more incisive, the trum pet more resonant, the organ more mighty, but the harp has a tendena ss and sweetness belonging to no other instrument that I know of. It enters into the richest symbolism of the Holy Scriptures. The captives in their sad ness “hung their harps up n the wik lows.” The raptures of heaven are represented under the figure of “harp ers harping on their harps." We learn from tains an 1 medals that in the Mnc- cabenn age the harp had only three strings. In other ages it had eight strings. David’s harp had ton strings, and when his groat son! was afire with the theme iiis sympathetic voice, ac companied by exquisite vibration of the chords, must have been overpower ing. With as many things to complain about as any man ever had David wrote more anthems than any other man ever wrote Ho puts even the frosts and hailstorms and tempests and creeping things and flying fowl and the mountains and the hills and { ' day and night into a chorus. Absa lom’s plotting and Ahithophel's treach ery and hosts of antagonists and sleep less nights and a running sore could not hush his psalmody. Indeed, the more his troubles the mightier his sa cred poems. The words "praise” and "song” are so often repeated in his psahns that one would think the type setter's case containing the letters with which those words are spelled would be exhausted. In my text David calls upon the peo ple to praise the Lord with an instru ment of ten strings, like that which he was accustomed to finger. The simple fact is that the most of us. if we praise the I,ord at all. play upon one string or two strings or three strings when we ought to take a harp fully ehorded and with glad fingers sweep ail the strings. Instead of being grateful fir hero and there a blessing we happen to think of. we ought to rehearse all our blessings so far as we can recall them and obey the Injunction of my text to slug unto him with an instru ment of ten strings. Remember ilaily CleNHinx*. Have you ever thanked (io l f t de lightsome food? What vast multitudes ire a-hungered from day to day or are bilged to take food n t tooths >me pleasant to the taste!

We are told of six of Christ's miracles for the cure of these sightless ones, but I suppose they were only specimens of hundreds of restored visions. What a pitiful spectacle Saul of Tarsus, the mighty man. three days led about in physical as well as spiritual darkness, he who afterward made Felix tremble by his eloquence and awed the Atheni an philosophers on Mars hill and was the only cool headed man in the Alex andria eornship that went to pieces on the rocks of Miletus, once the mighty persecutor of Haul, afterward the glori ous evangelist Paul, for three days not able to take a safe step without guid ance! Two Strlnprn of Gratitude. Have you ever given thanks for two eyes—media between the soul inside and the world outside, media that no one but the infinite C»od could create’/ The eye. the window of our immortal nature, the gate through which ail col ors march, the picture gallery of the soul! Without the eye this world is a big dungeon. 1 fear that many of us have never given one hearty expression of gratitude for treasure of sight, the loss of which is the greatest disaster possible unless it be the loss or Kft or at e nd.

Thank Hod that now four of the great est nations are allied in good under standing—the United States, England, Germany and Utissia—and if they will d> the right thing they can forever stop national and international strife and put an end to wholesale amputa tion. There are enough accidents in time of peace to keep the race mutilat ed more than it ever ought to be. and the human family needs ail its arms and hands and feet to do the work that God calls it to do. Further, celebrate on the instrument of ten strings our illumined nights. They spread their tents over us. and some of us hardly g-i out to look at march. Oh, what a world tins will be when it rotates in its orbit a redeemed planet, girdled with spontaneous har vests and enriched by orchards whose fruits are speckless and redundant, and the last pain will have been banished and the last tear wept and the last groan uttered, and there jdmll be noth ing to l.urt or destroy in all God’s haiy mountain! All that and more will come to pass, for "the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.’’ So far I have mentioned nine of the ten strings ;f the instrument of grati tude. I now tome to the tenth and the them. During the nights other worlds i last. I mention it last that it may be come in sight. The intlior i f my text | the chimed the silver bells in the tower of ' pation more memorable—-heavenly antici- the midnight heavens, saying. “When I consider the heavens, the work of ; thy lingers; the moon and the stars, j which thou hast ordained, what Is in j that thou art mindful of him?” We j thank (Tod for the day: we ought n!s > By the grace of God we are going to move into a place so much better than this that on arriving we will wonder that we were for so many years so loath to make tin* transfer After vyo have seen Christ face to face and rejoiced o a r our departed kindred Co.O', u have ever appreciated v.— whan he gave us two eyes, it was whet* we siivv others with oLdteratO'l i .s.ou. Alas, that only through the privation of others we crane to a realiznCon of our own blocving! if you bau harp in hand and swept all the strings of grat itude. you would have struck this, which is one of the must dulcet of the ten strings. Further, notice how many pass through life in silence because the car refuses to do its okire. They never hoar music, vocal or instrumental. The thunder that roils its full diapason through the heavens does not startle i.iC* prolonged sdonce. i a*, a.r t.ait has for us so many melodies has no sweet sound for them. They live in a quietude that will not be broken until heaven breaks in upon them with its harmonies. The bird voices of the springtime, the chatter of the children, the sublime chant of the sea. the solo of the cantatrice and the melody of the great worshiping assemblies mean nothing to them. Have we devoutly thanked God for these two wonders of our hearing, with which we can now put ourselves under the charm of sweet sound and also carry in our memories the infantile song with which our mothers put us to sleep, and the voices of the great prima donnas like Lind and Patti and Xeilson. and the sound of instruments like the violin of the Swedish performer, or the cornet of Arbuckle. or the mightiest of all in struments. with the hand of Morgan on the keys and his foot on the pedal, or some Sabbath tune like "Corona tion." in the acclaim of which you could hear the erowus of heaven com ing down at the feet of Jesus? Many of us have never thanked God for this hearing apparatus of tir* soul. That is one of the ten strings of gratitude that we ought always to thrum after hear j ing the voice of a loved one or the last strain of an oratorio or the clang of a cathedral tower. Further, there are many who never recognize how much God gives them when he gives them sleep. Insomnia is a calamity wider known in our land than in any ctht-r.

The French financier, almost wealthy enough to purchase u kingdom, but tic* victim of insomnia, wrote, "No slumber to be bought in any nun Let." He was ri 'lit. Sleep is a gratuity from iiii.j who never sleeps. Oh. the felicities of ic! T have been afforded your j slumber! Let ail who have this real LVh.nt fruits, what nuts, what "regVe your appetite, while many would belglad to get the crusts and rinds and peelings that fall from your table. Forlthe fine flavors and the lux urious viai^ds you have enjoyed for a lifetime peVbapfc you have never ex pressed to qiod a word of thanksgiv ing. That is\ne of the ten strings that you ought to/have thrummed in praise to God. bnt you have never yet put it in vibration. Have you thanked God for eyesight as originally given to you or. after i was dimmed by age. for the glass that brought tlie page of the book within the compass of the vision? Have you realized the privation those suffer to whom the day is ns black the night and •„ no never see the face of father or mother or wife or child or friend? Through what painful surgery many have gone to get one glimpse of the light! The yes so delicate and beau tiful and useful that one of them Is la valuable! And most of us have two of these wonders of divine mechanism. The man of millions of dollars who re cently went blind from atrophy of op tic r^frve would have been willing to give all his millions and become a day laborer If lie could have kept off the blindness that gradually crept over his vision. You may have noticed how Christ's aynipatldes were stirred for tin* blind. Ophthalmia has always been prevalent in Palestine, the custom of sleeping on the housetops, exposed to the dew and the flying dust of the dry season. Invit ing this dreadful disorder A large per- cewage of the Inhabltmits could not * - * —, : benefaction celebrate it. That is one of the sweetest strings in all the instru ment of ten strings. Further, let us gratefully acknowl edge the power of physical locomotion. To bo able to go where we wish and ail unaided—what a kindness! What nail tltudcs have to call la the aid of cane and crutch and Invalid’s chair, and their whole life is a hindermeut! How hard to get about with lack of strong ami healthy and supple limbs!

Voyaging from New Zea land to Australia, a sterm swooped upon us. and we saw ail around us fragments of ships that had been caught in the same tempest. And how thankful we were, sailing into Sydney harbor, that we hud escaped! So that man and that woman whose intellect goes safely through the storms of tills life, in which so many have foundered, ought every day and every night em ploy one of the ten strings in gratitude for that particular mercy Tht- RlesMins; of Friendship. Another string cf this Instrument 1 now touch—friendships, deep and abid ing. by which I refer to those people who. when good oi bad motive may he ascribed to you. ascribe the gixMl: those concerning whom y. u do not wonder which side they will take when you aiv under discussion; those who would more gladly serve you than serve th .a- selves: those to whom you can tell ev erything without reserve: th se win are first In your home by person or by telegram when you have trouble. Oh. what a blessing to have plenty of friends! Aye. if you have only one good friend, you are blessed in that :h;d possession. Y, iih me such friend you can defy the world. But he must be a trl d friend. You cannot tell who are your real friends till disasters coxae. As 1 mg as you collect vast dividends •:x.

"there are so many things that others hare which I have not." I reply, it is not what we get. but what we are. that decides our hap! m s.;. With the bare necessities of life many are unspeaka bly happy, while others with all the luxuries are impersonations of misery. In the Unman empire there was no man more wretched than the Non who ruled it. The porticoes of bis palace were a mile lonr. A statue cf him in silver and gold 120 feet high stood in the vestibule. The walls of his palace were mother of pearl and ivory. The celling was arranged to shower flowers and pour perfumes upm the guests. Ills wardrobe w-is so large that in* nev er wore a garment twice. Iiis mules were shod In silver. He fished with hooks of gold. A thousand carriages accompanied him when he traveled. Ills crown was worth $3fi0,000. lie had everything Imt happiness. That novr came.

The highest style of civilization the world has euw Keen Is American civilization, and It lubullij out of the gospel of pardon and good morals. That gospel rocked our cradle, and It will epitaph our grave. It soothes our sorrows, brightens our hopes, In- spires our courage, forgives our idnrf and saves our souls. It takes a man who Is all wrong and makes him all right. W!*at that gospel has done for yon nrl me is a st ry that we car never fully tell. What It has done fra the sun without system.
