vid set over the service of song in the
house of the Lord.”
I well remember a Sunday I once
spent upon the roof of the cathedral at
Milan. I had been away from home
for many weeks and was very lonely
and homesick. Furthermore, I was
hungry for an old fashioned Christian
service of the type of the American
meeting house. I had been so long
witnessing the European desecration of
the Sabbath that I yearned for the sim
ple service of my own home church. I
entered the cathedral of Milan that
morning hoping that my longing for
worship might l>e gratified; but, alas,
none of it was there! That huge ca
thedral is capable of holding 40,000
worshipers. Thousands of people were
in the building that morning, but only
a little handful were seated about the
pulpit. Most of the people inside the
church were tourists wandering about
examining a statue bore, a tomb there,
a beautiful column beyond. Sick at
heart. I turned away and began to
climb the stairs which led up to the
roof. Higher and higher I went until
I seemed to have left the world behind.
Alone I was walking upon those lofty

them was rising in the upper air.
Like the summer wind which kissed
; my cheek, i could not tell from whence
1 It came. Then as the voices rose and
! fell and finally died away in a plain-

’ though choir loft was taking up the

j Asaph himself, the chief of all the mu-
! siciaus and singers whom David ap-

j song.
Sitting there that Sunday afternoon
on that Milan roof I thought of that
service of singers in Jerusalem 3,000
years ago and of the singing of the
! long succession of all the generations
. of singers that in the Christian church
have won t... ir triumphs during the
- past ceutuii .. It seemed as if they
were all united in one great service of
song in saipendous harmonies, for
wherever you go you find the love of
j music. The English plow boy sings as
i he drives his team. The Scotch high-
I lander makes the glens and gray
moors resound with his beautiful
songs. The muleteer of Spain cares
not who sits on the throne or stands
behind it If they will let him have his
early morning carol. The vintager of
Sicily has his evening hymn even be
side the fire of the burning mount.
The fishermen of Naples has his boat

time on tl/at beautiful sea, and the
gondolier of Venice still keeps up his
midnight serenade. So when travel

A Talk About Music.
Today. God willing, I want to lead
you away from pulpit aud lectern. I
want to lead joii away from altar and
chancel and out of the church audi
torium and have yon sit with me as I
sqt that day upon the roof of the Milan
cathedral and give your thoughts to
the sweet sounds in which the church
in all times has given praise to God.
I want to have a little quiet talk with
you upon the influence of gospel Bopg.
And after this talk is ended 1 want
you to go home and reverently take
down your hymn books and gather
your children about you and teach them
to sing praises to God and utter iu
tuneful words the love of Christ for
all men. “And these are they whom
David set over the service of song in
the house of the Lord."
Now, why did David appoint musi
cians over the service of song in the
temple? First, because music is a com
bination of beauties in sounds, and no
man can truly come to the higher
Christian life until he learns to appre
ciate the beauties of all God’s cre
ations. God does not simply say to
man, “I am God, creator and ruler;’’
but he says. “I want you to notico that
I have made everything beautiful in
its time.” Tims Jesus bade us look at
the lily or the wild flower of the
field and observe the care with which
God had produced a masterpiece In
colors. He makes the leaf of that wild
flower so beautiful that artists for cen-

its harmonies. Oh. the marvelous
blending of colors in the leaf of one
little daffodil! Then think of God’s
architecture! What is the cathedral of
St. Peter in Home, or Re cathedral at
Cologne, or any of our architectural
masterpieces, In comparison with the
grandeur of the Alps or the beauties of
the Grand canyon? God’s love of
beauty shows Itself here, as It does In
the flowers that are in these gardens
again preparing to make the world a
glorious garden. We know from all his
works that he loves beauty and are
sure that when we strive to make his
worship sweet and harmonious with
his gifi of voice and with musical in
struments we are pleasing Win.
Is not the voice of great congrega
tion lifting its song ii. praise like the
sound of many water; Have you ever
noticed how many times the Bible
tells us to sing the praises of God?
Not once, but many times, is the com
mandment given. “Sing" is the word.
“Let everything that hath breath praise
the Lord." When the time of worship
which we spend in the Lord’s house is
so precious, would God be willing to
waste any of the time of church service
in singing if music was not a divine
means of spiritual grace? Yes, here
after we must look upon music as a
preacher. We must reverently consider
our hymn books as second only in im
portance tf> the holy Bible itself. God
lias placed ins divine approval and in
dorsement upon them.
The Importance of Music.
Why does God honor sacred music in
the salvation of men? This fact should
l»e easily analyzed when you open any
hymn book and begin to sing the grand
old songs which have come ringing
down the corridors of the centuries.
What is the keynote of nine-tenths—
aye, ninety-nine hundredths—of the
hymns which are sung? God’s wrath?
No. It is God’s love. Of coarse there
are some of the old hymns which con
tain warnings to the sinner, but in
nearly all the hymns that we love the
central magnet of our affection is the
story they contain of the cross aud
God’s protecting care for his children.
Hell and the terrors of future punish
ment may lift their red lights of warn
ing, but it is only the cross of Christ
that can make men cling to God as a
heavenly Father. Just read over the
favorite songs of your hymn book and
see if what I say is not true. And
I Ins is the reason why the song which
is sung after the sermon often does
more good than the whole sermon,
upon which Hie minister has expended
weeks of labor. Why? Because the
preacher too often wields the gospel
bludgeon. He is bound to declare the
whole counsel of God, and sometimes
it must sound harsh. He says, “The
end of sin is death, aud God will not
by any means accept the impenitent.”
Then some sweet throated songstress
arises in the choir loft aud lifts up her
voice in praise to him for his mercy
iu redemption. As the sweet message
of God’s love wings its way to the
heart of the worshipers men say, “I
will do this not because I fear hell, but
because Christ died for me and lie-
cause Christ loves me.” Was not this
fact demonstrated in the great services
of Dwight L. Moody?
Moody and Sankey.
No intelligent man can study the
work of America’s greatest evangel
istic prcaclK r unless at the same time
lie follows the wonderful career of
America’s most wonderfnl gospel sing
er. “What do you think of the work
of Ira D. Sankey?” 1 asked one of the
greatest and most influential ministers
of the west. "He is emphatically the
messenger of gentleness. This fact
was never lie tier illustrated than by
comparing Hie work of a Moody and
a Sankey.” "Great team that,” I said;
“Yes. a great team.” Why? Because
each man’s work supplemented the
work of the other man. Moody was
an earnest, conscientious preacher.
Moody would stir an audience until
men and women could see their sins
marching before them in an appalling
procession and they could realize the
peril of their condition. Then Sankey
would sing of the life line of the nine
ty aud nine and the love of God touch
ed the hearts of men until the whole
audience would be melted into tears.
Moody was essentially the plower aud
the sower. Ira D. Sankey was the
reaper. lie was the one who could
soften the heart and make sinners feel
the love of God by the power of gospel
song. The plowing had to be done.
Each man supplemented the work of
the other man. Moody and Sankey
formed the most potent evangelistic
team of the past century.
But there is another reason why gos
l«'l singing lias been baptized by the
Holy Spirit for the salvation of men.
Gospel singing stimulates the worship
er to do something for Christ. It is his
part of the church service. The miu-
Jstcr may be praying, but the members
of the congregation may not be follow
ing him in his prayers. While the min
ister is preaching the solemn faced
elder sitting before him may be plan
ning how he is going to run his busi
ness the next day. That was a quaint
and beautiful compliment which Mark
Twain gave to his minister some time
ago. The great humorist met the
preacher at the door of the church aft
er the sermou and said: “My dear doc
tor, you will have to make your ser
mons more uninteresting or I cannot
afford to come to church any more.
Sunday morning in church Is the time
I always expect to plan my week's
work. You are preaching such inter
esting sermons (hat 1 have to pay it-
teution, and you must become more
stupid or else I shall have to stay
away.” But, alas, what Mark Twhlu
spoke iu Jest is only too true of some
Wsarers. Whether It is the fault of the
minister or not, one fact Is certain:
Many a merchant has planned out his
business deals during the Sunday
morning sermon, and many a tired
mother has taken n short cat nap dur
ing the long prayer of the Sunday
morning service. But It Is so different
during the time of gospel singing. It is
the difference of doing something fpr
Christ and sitting passive in your pew.
Ths Group About tho Piano.
Why did your mother have you chil
dren gather around that piano to slug?
Whnt wts her chief reason? It was
to get you to do something good to
keep you from doing something posi
tively harmful. O friends, do not think
that the time you spend with your chil
dren singing is wasted time, If some
parents would do a little less scolding
and a little more singing with their
children perhaps they might have just
the same spiritual influence for good
as had your sainted mother when she
gathered the children about her every
Sunday afternoon to sing the gospel
hymns.
But there is another truth which
comes surging over me with over
whelming power when I think of the
divine purpose of sacred song. That is
the thought that tho great hymnolo-
gists have always been the gospel
teachers who have been able to over
leap all tho barriers of sectarian big
otry and narrow minded creeds. If
the great hymnologists have accom
plished no other good at least they
have taught us that Christ has many
other sheep who do not belong to our
sectarian fold. In olden times the
Episcopalian rector would not allow
the Presbyterian pastor to enter bis
chancel. And the Presbyterian and
the hard shell Baptist were just as
bigoted in their way as their Episco
palian brothers. But no sectarian big
otry has been aide to monopolize the
makers of sacred song. In the secta
rian churches we have “spite fences”
for every one except for our poets aud
hymnologists. Head over, if you will,
the biographies of the greatest of our
gospel composers. They belong to all
churches.
Charles Wesley may never have been
allowed to preach in Westminster ab
bey, but bis great hymn, “Jesus, Lover
of My Soul.” has been sung there a
thousand limes. And Charles Wesley
was a Methodist. Who was Hay Pal
mer, the author of “My Faith Looks
Up to Thee?” A Cougregationalist.
Who was Horatius Bonar, the author
of “I Lay My Sins on Jesus?” A
Scotch Presbyterian. Who was James
Montgomery, the author of “Hail to
the Lord’s Anointed?” He was the son
of a Moravian preacher. Yet all these
singing evangelists, with their many
different sectarian creeds, have their
names and their hymns printed side
by side in every church hymnal. The
church of Bishop Heber may believe
in apostolic succession for the pulpit,
but it does not believe in apostolic
succession for the choir loft, for Hen
ry Newman the Catholic and John aud
Charles Wesley the Methodists and
Horatius Bonar are allowed to sing
there even though they were not al
lowed to preach there. Oh, why do
wo not extend the hand of gospel fel
lowship to all the members of the dif
ferent churches as we extend the hand
of Christian love to ail the sweet sing
ers who bring to us their gospel songs?
May God give to us a nonsectarian
pulpit and pew as he has given to us
a nonsectarian hymn book.
No Ordination For Hymn Writers.
But God honors sacred music for still
another reason. The divine harmonies
of sound place tho hand of holy ordina
tion qpon all those who are willing to
lift uG their voices in his praise. In
Older to become a minister one has to
spend years In study. Then presby
tery puts him through the most rigid
examinations to determine whether he
is fit to preach. Some of my minis
terial brethren may be iu doubt about
letting him pass at that time; hut,
though some presbyteries may make
mistakes in allowing a candidate to en
ter the pulpit when not properly pre
pared, no such barriers can keep tho
true gospel evangelist from singing the
praises of God. Ira D. Sankey not only
led thousands into the kingdom by bis
tuneful voice, but he sent a host of
singing evangelists to win other multi
tudes for tin* cross. In other words,
as the good Ananias was commanded
to open tin* blinded eyes of Saul iu Da
mascus, this modern Asaph has been
ordained to loosen the dumb tongues of
men who could have had no part in
winning souls except by sacred song.
The Most Powerful Music.
And here let me state something
which has been on my mind for some
time. In order to preach the gospel
by song a man does not have to be a
master of classical music. All that he
needs to have is a pure heart, clean
lips aud an ordinary sweet, true voice,
and when he sings the plain, simple
gospel songs from the heart God will
bless bis singing, even as he blesses
the simple prayers that come from a
devout heart. Mr. Beecher well formu
lated this thought when he protested
tn the following words against the
Pharisaism of sacred song: “Music Is
not simply a vehicle for carrying a
hymn. It is something iu itself. No
tune is fit to he sung to a hymn which
would not l)e pleasant iu itself without
words. In selecting music we should
not allow any fastidiousness in taste
to set aside the lessons of experience.
A tune which lias always interested a
congregation—which inspires the young
and lends to enthusiasm a fit expres
sion—ought not to be set aside because
It does not conform to the reigning
fashion and follow* the whims of tech
nical science. There is such a thing as
Pharisaism in music. Tunes may be
very faulty iu structure and yet con
vey a full hearted current that will
sweep out of the way the worthless,
heartless trash which has no merit
except literal correctness. And when
upon trial a tune is found to do good
work it should bo used for what it
does and can do. Congregational sing
ing will never become general and per
manent until the churches employ
tunes which have melodies that cling
to the memory and touch the feelings
or the Imagination.” What did Mr.
Beecher mean by nil this? I will tell
you.
A gospel hymn Is u sermon. A gos
pel hymn Is a prayer. When you lis
ten to a testimony in a prayer meeting
you do not listen to oratory. You lis
ten to a man pleading for Christ.
When you listen to a gospel hymn, you
listen to n disciple of Christ pleading
for the Master in the same w*ay, and,
though your vole*- may not be musical-
AS SUCCESSFUL EAST
AS IN THE WEST
Cooper’s Theories Are Being Rapidly Accepted
by Eastern People.
L. T. Cooper, whose theory that
the human stomach is the cause of
most ill health and who created a
furore in Chicago, St Louis and other
western cities, is meeting with the
same remarkable success with his
medicine throughout the east. Cooper
has convinced an immense number of
people that his theory is sound and
his medicine will do what he claims.
Perhaps the most interesting fea
tures of the discussion this young
man is causing, are the statements
made by responsible people who have
taken his medicines and have become
enthusiastic converts to his beliefs.
Among statements of this charac-
ter, the following, by Mr. August
Wittmer, 1049 Rockwsll Court, Chi
cago, Is characteristic of the wide
spread faith In Cooper, which has
grown up in a comparatively short
time. Mr. Wittmer says: *‘1 wouldn’t
take $1,000 and be in the condition I
was three weeks ago. I was practi
cally an invalid for fourteen years
and think I had about all of the dis
eases known. My stomach was weak,
and at times I would have an enor-
mous appetite, and then again none
at all. Pie and cake made me sick;
and I almost always had a sickening
feeling In my stomach. I was ner
vous, and for weeks at a time could
not sleep, and then again could sleep
eighteen hours at a stretch. Sleep;
however, seemed to do me no good,
and I would awake tired and more
exhausted than when I went to bed,
was constipated, had pains In
my back, and flutterlngs and pains
ip my heart. I was unable to worM
with any regularity, and took no in
terest in anything. I tried all Mud#
of medicines and doctors, but none
benefited me. I had no energy and
no ambition, and had about concluded
to give up when the Cooper medicine
was recommended. Thanks to It, my
health seems completely restored
and I feel like a new man."
Cooper medicines have created the
greatest sensation of anything of the
kind ever before introdnoed.
We sell them, and will be glad to tt»
plain the nature of them to our
—Gaffney Drug Co.
Min'd, yet when you sing God’s
es iu a simple gospel song God
bless you as he does when you
:ri e to testify for him in a meeting of
prayer.
The consideration of this subject sug
gests to me three practical lessons.
First, I want to impress upon all Chris
tian people that the church which does
not put a great emphasis upon its mu
sic is making a fearful mistake.
’’Why do you give out so many hymns
in your prayer meetings and church
services?” a friend said to me soihe
time ago. “Because I cannot give out
any more hymns,” I answered. ’ “i be
lieve that the singing of a church is
more important than the preaching.
Indeed, 1 know that what I say is true,
for many a church is existing in spite
of poor preaching, but you never saw a
strong church that did not have fine
church music. Church members, be
ware how you trifle with the music.
Get the best hymn books. Ministers
aud officers, prayerfully select the
hymns that ail people can sing. Do not
make your singing a mere accessory to
the church. God is watching you when
he says, “Let everything that hath
breath praise the Lord.”
The Church Choir.
The next great fact to w hich I would
call your atteution is that of your
church choir. Sacred singing is an im
portant part of church worship. There
fore we should be careful whom we
select as the members of our choirs to
lead us in that song. It is essential
that those leaders be living sweet, pure.
Christian lives. 1 cure not how bril
liant a minister might be. you would
not knowingly select him for your
pastor if you knew he was immoral
or a drunkard. Why should not the
same purity of life be required of the
members of- our church choirs? It is
a shame to see some people rising in
the choir lofts to sing the most sacred
words in our hymn books when every
one knows that they are living lives
that contradict the words they are
singing. I have had men and women
in my choirs who never made any pre
tense to religion. These members of
the choirs never attended prayer meet
ing. They never put their foot inside
the Sunday school. They did what
they were paid to do, and they did
nothing else. They sang psalm tunes
on Sunday and, us far as I can make
out, served the devil the rest of the
week. God will never bless a church
unless that church has just as pure
and as consecrated a choir loft as it
has a consecrated minister. Mark
that.
Lastly, 1 want you to get into the
habit of singing gospel songs wherever
you go. Leam-to sing gospel hymns
on the street aud In your home w*hen
you are dressing. Teach your chil
dren to sing these songs in the same
way. There is no easier way to
spread the gospel and to show peo
ple that you are standing for Christ
than by singing about him when you
are at work. Have you ever attended
a great Methodist camp meeting? Then
you may have been Impressed by the
preaching. But I will tell you what
you were mostly impressed with aud
what has lingered longest in your
memory, it was not the service iu the
auditorium, but what took place after
the audience was dismissed. Then the
young people—I mean all those who
were young in heart, and they all seem
ed to lie young -formed in line and
marched around »he grounds singing
some old hymn like “Wo Are March
ing to Zion. Beautiful, Beautiful
Zion.” As they sang the very heavens
seemed to join in the harmonies. Oh,
how that music rings today in your
memories! Like a great army the peo
ple moved as they sang. Cannot you
in the same way sing about Christ
when you are at work? Like a great
singing host let us move forward to
capture the round world for Christ.
There is a beautiful story told that
many years ago when Jenny Lind was
visiting tliis country she called upon
her countryman. John Ericsson, but the
famous inventor refused to see her.
Ericsson bad a magnificent brain, but
be was no respecter of persons. He
declined to see her. Not to be put off.
Jenny Lind sent up ber visiting card.
She stepped to the foot of the stairs
and began to sing one of the old Sjyed-
ish lullabies with which the mothers
in that f.'.roff land are accustomed to
sing the children to sleep. At once the
door of the inventor’s room opened
and Ericsson came to greet his visitor,
weeping like a child. The music had
opened the door of his heart. So by
singing the old gospel songs on the
streets aud in the homos we can win
multitudes for Christ.

Ths Moon and Mount Hood.
Speaking of a recent moon effect on
Mount Hood, the Portland Oregonian
says:
Perching itself for a few moments
on tho very top of Mouht Hood, the
big new moon illumined that majestic
peak at 11 o'clock last night so clearly
that its mantle of glistening white,
toned to a soft yellow hue, could be
distinguished plainly from Portland
aud vicinity. Never before, says old
time Oregonians, has the moon been
observed to scale the summit so fairly
and with such perfect balance as last
night. The big yellow disk apparently
could not have been more accurately
adjusted to the top of the mountain.
And as it passed on upward the top of
the mellow circle burled itself in a big
black cloud, so that no gj*ent stretch of
the imagination was required to fill
In the picture of an eruption from the
peaceful old mountain. From an ar
tistic standpoint the spectacle was one
to be boarded in the fond memory, and
those who saw it may regard them
selves as having been peculiarly fortu
nate. Every year the moon pays a
visit to the big peak, but possibly not
once in centuries would It climb to the
precise central point on the summit
and present a picture so perfect.
A Bold Step.
To overcome the well-grounded and
reasonable objections of the more intel
ligent to tho use of secret, medicinal com
pounds, Dr. li. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
V., some time ago, decided to make a bold
departure from tho usual course puinucd
by the makers of put-up medicines for do
mestic use, am}, so has published broad
cast and oiamTy to the whole world, a full
and cumpfoto list of all tho ingredients
entering inW-thc composition of his widely
celebrated mpdidties. Thus he has taken
