Y. P.—Not that fast, quite;

be following the commandthents of men
and not the ordinances of God.
0. P.—Very well; so I say, too. Please
give me a Scripture Warrant for confining

book of the Bible.

Scriptures that we ought to use the whole

that praising God is a good work I

0. P.—l understand you now to say, if
we "sing with the ,spirit and the under

the Lord," that we are doing a good work:
Am I right?
Y. P.—You are. I think just so.
0. P.—l am glad> to hear` you say so ; we
are perfectly agreed on that point.. But
have you never read that "all Scripluie is

Y. P.—Certainly I have; but what of
that ?
0. P.—What of thati Why surely
this : Praising God, you say, is a good
work; and the Apostle says; all Scripture
is needful to furnish us for every good
work. Thus, 'according to this passage of
Scripture, we are not thoroughly furnished
for the good work of praise, or indeed for
any other good work, without we use the
whole Bible for that purpose. This I call
a Divine warrant for a Bible Psalmody.
By the phrase, "Bible Psalmody," I mean
a Psalmody taken froth 'ffuriiiioTe'llible:
And I can't see that your Psalmody is
rightly call6d Scriptural, when it rejects so
much of the Scriptures. lam afraid you
take away from that: perfectßook, which is
all , needful. But I will wait for your
proof. N.
Seeking and Finding.
"Seek and ye shall find." This is a
truth capable of a very extensive applioa
tion. It is true always and in almost `all
things. ' If a man diligently seeks a thing,
he will find it if it be a thing to be found.
Let him seek to be a. man of strong faith,
and he finds what he seeks, in the very act
of seeking. The exercise of faith in the
search, for strength makes faith strong.
Let a man seek to be heavenly-minded, and
the fellowship held with heavenly things
in this search, makes him what he sought to
be. Or let him seek purity, and the cast
ing out and shunning , of all impure
things, in this search, actually puts him in
possession of the thing he sought. So the
truth will apply to the whole range of
spiritual gifts and graces; seek them
earnestly and you find them; the very seek
ing develops them within you..
The truth has another application that
we do not generally think of. In, the af
fairs of this life a man ordinarily finds
what he seeks. Let a man go out among
men, seeking and expecting to find knavery,
meanness, selfishness, and he will be sure
to find them; they ie ground everywhere,
and he who is on the look-out for them can
not well fail to see them. Let him, on the
other hand, go out among his fellows, seek
ing and expecting to find honesty, gener
osity, and disinterestedness, and ho will
find them. A man can hardly be disap
pointed in his search in
,either case.
There is villainy and honesty, good and
bad, among men, and we will find either
according as we seek.
There is a sort of affinity, too, in villainy
to draw villainy to itself, and honesty to
draw honesty to itself, as there is among
particles of gold in the earth.. Where
there is one particle of gold there will
likely be two, and where there are two
there, will likely be more. Goodness de
velops goodness in others, and so a good
man will see goodness where a bad man
could not, because it was not there for him
to see.
Evil elicits evil, and let a bad man seek
badness in others, and ,he will find it spring
up all along his path, elicited—brought to
the surface—by himself The good - find
good when they seek it, partly -because
their very presence develops it. The bad
find badness for the same reason.
A man goes to an evening party, expect
ing to find people:selfish and unsocial; and
the whole thing a - bore and it turns
out just as he expected; people, are
to him. selfish and unsocial—the whole
thing is, to him, a bore. A man
goes to church on Sabbath, expecting
to hear a dull , sermon and witness a formal
worship, and,tbe sermon and the worship
prove to be just what he predicted it, would
be—the one dill], and the other formal.
These evil prophesyino-s are almost-always
true—to the prophet. ! '"
On the other hand,
a man goes into church expecting to, be
pleased, and he is; intending to be edified,
and he is edified; moaning to worship—not
witness a worship—and -he finds the wor
ship warm and real.
There is a way, then, of finding anything
you want." If you Want to find things
green, put on green spectacles, and every
thing is green to you. If you want to
find blue things, put on blue ;spectacles,
and everything will look blue: If you
want to find happiness, look through happy
eyes—seek it with a happy heart , and you
will find happiness everywhere. If you
want to be miserable, leek thrpugli:j aundie ed
eyes, and the world and, things will
all look miserable enough. - " Seek - and ye
shall find." Seek goodness and you'll find

Music and Iltisio Books.
NUMBER. 111.
A second difficulty of a different char
acter, arising out of our imperfect supply
of our own music books as 'a Church, meets
us as we -would promote the music of the
Church. We are left to
. go a begging at
the doors of other.denommations, or out to
the world for material, both of which have
been much more provident for their fam
ilies than we for ours. In this they have
been wise—to be commended not con- ,
demned. We find the Baptist Harmony,•
the, Methodist Harmony, the Episcopal
Choir, and a host of minor names for minor
persons, in their different families; and
who would think of a Roman Catholic ,
singing. from any but his family book ?
We are left to hang upon one of the two
horns of this dilemma—to use the mate
rial.provided to our hand by some of these
various denominations, (and in the Roman
Catholic books is found much of the very
choicest music,) or to take that provided
by the world. If' we prefer the fornier,
we cultivate a character of music and
musical taste associated withwords impart
ing aentiments--all foreign to our views=
Church tastes, and interest. And in using
them we prepare our youth with' musical
taste, sympathy, and sentiments for annoy
ing and injuring ourselves,or sending them
to these denominations - to enjoy what we
have trained them to prefer. This pay, be
thought a small matter, but it is far other
wise. The writer, in many years teaching
and "leading church choirs, has been long
since thoroughly' convinced' to the contrary
—has witnessed much annoyance from this
source in our, own churches, and seen many
a Youth, by these instrumentalities, led ert
tirely from the Church of their fathers,
greatly to the grief of parents and others.
If we go to the world for our music, we
make a still worse choice, and secure a' far
worse • end. The music of our Church
every way, has - very much to do . with the
church attendance of our: young people
after beyond the direct control of parents.
If there is danger of our youth becoming
contaminated by' sending them to Roman
Catholic schools, there is a more insidious
danger here, because less suspected 'or •per
ceived, and we ourselves using the means,
in our own fainilies to effect the end. It
was once, at the writer's request, made a
matter of grave decision by the venerable
Drs. Alexander and Miller, of Princeton,
as to whether it would be proper or idola
trous for him to use, in teaching their fam
ilies music , the words, " Ave Sanctiisiina
Ora Pro robis," as placed to that beautiful
piece of music, "Evening Hymn to the
Virgin," in Kingsley's Social Choir; a
'boat rdlifid thotarrcis - a - eita.
Centre tables—who decided it to be en
tirelyiniproper, and to enjoy the Use of the
music other words were arranged to siiit•it.
Music, to have its legitimate effeet,
especially upon youthful minds, should be
married to its own words, and never di
vorced or prostituted. So we find much
used by other denominations to their spe
cial benefit. This is a principle of asso
ciation of immense importance, from which
alone we can account for much of the effect
produced by such combinations. Who will
doubt 'that upon this principle arises all
that peculiar effect arid .charm upon both
young and old 'of some old camp-meeting
piecew; bringing •to mind familiar 'words'
and a thousand sympathiei and associations
of places and times gone by, borne in upon
the soul by the' power of sweet sounds.
The moment one word is articulated, all
present know the music to" be sung; or
one sound struck, all rememb'er the words;
men, women, and children, often uncon- -
sciously in' motion and tone, join the en
chanting..strain ; hence the magic effect,
not so , much from the excellence of the
music as the power of sympathy and union
of act. Who would think of singing for
effect, " Say, brothers, will you meet us ?"
or "From Greenland's .icy mountains," to
any other than their own music ?
In all this are seen living lines of instruc
tion to us m a Church in regard to our bay
ing our own family music, suited to our own
taste, and associated with our own peculiar
doctrinal and devotional hynins, and the
danger of adopting foreign material. If we
would give to music its proper place and
power in our Church, and properly guard it
and our youth in this day of error and in
roe&• in every thing, we' should go on
principle and known law: of experienee:
Said one--" Let me make the ballads of a
nation, and others may make the laws."
We wish no Unitarianism; Universalism,
Spiritualism, or any of the multitude of fa
naticalisms of the day introduced to our
families. But adopt music" from abroad,
and' we open a ready and most, .insidious
channel to them all ; noiseless as the gentle
stream, but sure. Much of our Calvinistic
orthodoxy as a Church 'has been secured to
her through her psalms and hymns, treasured
in memory in her families by songs of early
days, and retained to a ripe old age and dy
inghed in their delightful`associations and
influences for Christian consolation.
The writer has witnessed much of this
under various circumstances. He once
knew an aged great-grandmother, for nearly
twenty years blind to all this world, who
would spend hours upon hours during the
day, when no one was at liberty to read or
converse with -her, and sleepless nights in
repeating and singing the ten thousandth
time over, in German, the devotional hymns
of her youth with great comfort; and at
times, in her lonely, sleepless nights her
songs of ecstasy upon these precious words
would wake the house. In another case an
aged servant of God, when so weakened by
protracted disease as to be himself unable
to either repeat Cr sing his favoiite pieces,
or bear the noise of song, he, would, to his
very last moments, call for them to be
played over. very softly upon a violincella,
to revive their hallowed,' associations of
truth to soothe and comfort his dying mo
ments. •
During a pastorate of near twenty Years,
in a multitude of cases, has he been re
quested to sit by the dying bed of the mem
bers of his charge; and soothe their last
moments by singing such 'hymns .as "How
sweet the name of Jesus sounds!" and the
last passing breath of the companion of his
life died away to wake in hallelujah to the.
Lamb, singing, with his two infantochildren
at her bedside ' •

our children's minds; if not with good, it
will be evil.
The world well understand and appreci- ..
ate this whole subject. The stage teems,
with it to allure our youth astray; low in
sipid the "scene" without music! Many
of oar wide-spread secular papers know that,
they must head off with a ballad or a Song.
Shall we not arise and grasp the power,
Which is our right, and - not 'indifferentlY.
suffer it to be - rent from our hands, and:
hurled against all our dearest interests;
often with the vilest purposes and most
fearful effects thrust in upon our firesides'
in ballads and'Songs; coupled with words of
licentious lust and passion; pallutin the
very earliest breath of our children; blast
ine. the dearest interests of our homes, and•
ultimately, through a thousand ungodly
sources' carriedin spirit arid forin into our:
very church services. .Such ^can only be
the case so longias we make no proper pro
vision for ourselves, thereby supplying and.
guarding our own .homes. Nothing can
reasonably be expected from our present'
provision and-attention to the subject but ,
comparative ignorance ;• from the time,
places, manner, circumstances, and, person
by whom our music is too generally taught, ;
but the use of improper music and a per
musical taste; and from much of the
materials used, but a pernicious and disas
trous influence upon our families and church
services.
All this Ulay be said to be bringing in a
new era and effort in regard 'to church mu
sic; that the `Church` has, in , ancient time,
gone on in her stayed course without` 130
much ado about an attention to her Mere
music. This, on examination hereafter,
may be seen to be otherwise; or if true, hence
much of our difficulty now.' But this is not

LONDON; March 9, 1890
,POLITICAL, DISTRUST is, at this: moment
the prevalent feeling over ,Europe. As
might, be expected, the cause of this is the
French Emperor. He has " pattered in a
double sense," in the whole of his conduct
with'regard to Italy and even when he
makes ,fresh_ prefessions of peace, the
stronger they 'are, - they but remind us of
this time last' "year, when similar good
words' really meant war. ,
The Savoy annexation seems to be re
solved on by the Emperor; and Sardinia,
even while backed by the moral - weight of
`England and 'that pregnant correspondence
of Lord John Russel with our Ambassa
dor at. Parisywhich (protesting ,against the
nnetationj has extorted the approbation
of a Tory opposition, Sardinia, I say, seems
but feebly to stand up for, her retention of
the land which gave birth to her 'earliest
Sovereigns, and whence her Royal dynasty
has sprung. A deep game is suspected by
not a few; in - other words, that Count Ca
vour and Napoleon are secretly agreed, that
on the pretense of Sardinia's proceeding to
annex Tuscany; against Napoleon's ex=
pressed wishes, the Emperor will Withdraw
his sixty thousand troops from Lombardy.
Thus 'a strong - temptation would be given
'to •Austria to` come out from behind her
fortresses and try to reclaim her lost pos
sessions, including Lombardy, as well as to
restore the exiled• Princes, and tore-estab
lish the Pope's authority in the Legations'.
Then all Italy would rise against. Austria;
blood would flow, and at least the Emperor
would find an excuse to quarrel with Aus
tria, and so come to the rescue, and finally
effect his,avowed purpose:,of 1859, that
Italy shoud be free from the Alps to the
Adriatic.
War in Italy this year, seems to be very
probable., If so,:the Papacy will receive a
fresh concussion that shall cause the old
decaying fabric to show fresh fissures, and
to topple toward its final fill. Naples, too,
whose bigotted king is drunk with supp;
stitions zeal for the Pope, and the young
Emperor of Austria, whom the Jesuits
rule; and whom his wife advises' to liberal
measures in vain, would: come out of the
conflict worsted, even while young Italy
would be left bleeding at every pore. It
may be - that there *ill be a little season of
forther peace, yet after all it` is but an
armed truce as long as Napoleon 'lives, or
rather as long as he is to be used as the
Nemesis of guilty'nations.
The funds and share markets are much
depressed at this moment, both in Paris
and London, even while the Commercial.
Treaty is likely to -be ratified: without fur
ther opposition on the part of the Con
servatives..
Trade with France has been-shigularly
small in its extent :hitherto, as compared
with other countries. Our imports froni ,
France, in 1858, were ;M . :271,000 f ;but
our exports were only £4,563,000,
` tittle
more than a third of what we took from
that country. Our exports moreover; vere
._
mostly of raw material,while of our man
ufactured articles we exported -less than
£1,000,000 to the French, our- nearest
neighbors. During the same year-we-sent.
to the 'United States, goods to the, value of
more than £22,000,000; to Northern Ger
many, £11,770,000 ; to Holland, £5,329,-
000 ; to the Australian Colonies upwards
of £11,000,000; and to Turkey /mark as
much, as to .France, £3,493,000. So that
the . amount"of mutually beneficial commer
cial intercourse has 'hitherto been immen
surably below what it should be. Free
trade will increase this very speedilY, and.
will:- inevitably . cerise both countries to
gravitate toward peace and concord.

Neither are our ways God's ways' With regard
to'spiritual experience. We find ourselves con
stantly baulked,and thwarted. in things :whichwa
feel persuaded would have been most ter our .
soul's good. The best aids to our growth in
'grace - are taken away; hindrances to epiritush

tendencies continue to assault us,. which - it must
have been to Abe honor of the Divine grace to
subdue; and sine, aesociations,.siares, are wear-,.
ins a mesh of moral peril' around us, front
which we strive in vain to tear ourself' away.
And yet all these initiate us.to, other very-myste

must: be ordering. all things for our final salva

ris

and better, though none' but himself know what .
they are. "I know the • thoughts which I have

And therefore, how much of spiritual comfort

unfilial fears; to those who' write bitter - things'

allow them . to rise; and accuse; and affright
again. They - think they 'have" 'sinned "Itivayihe'

Here the preacher• reminded- us- that we
must not forget what had been going on in
the heart of the poor 'mike; ITer sorrow.
had a history, as well as that of 'the father.
" She had been aione with her sick
daughter ; alone when: she expired; alone..
with the dead child. All is over ; and she,
sends the' messenger_ after the father; she
sent 'for the mourners; she had to begin
preparations for the funPral. Some hope
had she once.; but oh, now faith in Iter
heart is as dead as is that dead child.
" Yet' she look's out of the window
the'm esiagelas been delivered, , yet Jesus
comes ! Her heart flutters, hope springs
up ; perhaps she 'overheard - Jesus say,
'_Why make ye this ado and weep; she is .
not dead, but Sleepeth ;' and She sees him"
pushing away the crowd at the door. ' Oh,'
she, says,, there is some merciful meaning
in ail this.' " And then the preacher again
indulged in one of his admirable generali
zations. " Oh, yes 1 the quick instinct of
women gets' to the right conclusion far
more rapidly than the logic of men. There
is, too; compensation in everything.' Men
in the time of family sorrow have resources
and reliefs which women have net. They
go forth, and
_'niust do - so, to business; to
scenes so absorbing that they cannot but
have their sorrows blunted: But the
I woman is alone with her sorrow and with
her dead one.
4th. Mark the life-giving Word.
Speaking in the language of the: common
people, jestiw says, Tabitha Omni.' He
touches the dead The High Priest
dare not do so. He would be defiled. But
not so the Holy One: And the dead rises;

Next, they saw - this Ruler's ' daughter

the widow's son, from off his bier, dead and
about to b'e buried. Next came the resur

came the resurrection. of " many that , slept,

But another and

Such is a faithful outline of a discourse
delivered by a remarkable man, in his own
singular way—in short sentences, with
frequent pauses, and sighs, and apparent
hesitations, with didactic plainness, yet,
emotion shaking his great bosom, and with
his dark eye, and raised finger, and anon
his crossed arms, all speaking too.
I hope and believe your readers will for

finding that persons who had been present
,at the afternOon lecturer's service, set them-
delves composedly in pews, to wait for the
evening service. They, therefore, with a
following of' Tractarians, seized them, and
tried to drag them out: .For this, he and
his curate, with three others, have been
iummoned before the magista:ate of the
district, who is so constantly tormented by
the 'agitators on both •sides, that he wishes
that they were both thrown into the Court

An ancient „saint, _with a, crown on his

Ve4l:O•nortible, then', is 'your' office. 'llia
is, the firstly of our sermon. Let us now
Secondly., Very us eful may your post
be also. No man in the congregation can
more effeatnally'stapify the preacher; no
one can more effectually put to sleep the
hearers. Know you, brethren, the impor-'
tance of good air", It is next important in
the, worshipping assembly to the good spirit,
from on high, of Which the Holy Scripture
maketh it the emblem: As the Lord bath
the gift of the latter, so the sexton-hath'of
the former. If hei giveth it not,. the
thoughts of the preacher flag, ,and the
heads of the hearers bow in worship to the
false God Morpheus. Keep idolatry out of
the church, brother sexton. There was a
band 'of old saints once, who were called
IconoclaSts, because they tore down idols and
east them out of the temples. The temples
.of our land are, degraded by the worship
pers of Morpheus; sextons are the cham
pions to make a crusade against this aboud
nation. They couldpurge , the land of it if
they would. " Up then, brethren,und expel
this heathenism. .Do you ask hpw. it .shall
be done ? .

times.
.2. Especially keep open, ,'a little, ,thOse

The preacher will repayyou•,by better iser,

3. Manage this matter with skill, blun
der not, as some in your honorable offico'do,
by having the windows either too much
open, so As to chill the hearers, or not apen
at all, so as to stupify them. Distribute,
the ventilation in small drafts all along the
, _
casements.``
( 41gairt. Never freeze the congregation by
neglecting the fires ; begin them early to
make sure the comfort of the temple;: it.
is better to begin too soon than too late,
for when there is too, much heat it can ,be
relieved by ventilation;`when there is not
enough ventilation has to be lost without
remedying, the= deficiency. How many ins
your , honorable functions, brethren r 'have
thus robbed the Lord of the worship of
an entire assembly?, RemeMber, that with
your peculiar' honor is connected Peculiar
responsibility, and we must all give-ac

Bo'oki11: Elie Book of . Books'..
The Sacred Scriptures have called forth
the efforts of the human mind for the pur
pose of elucidatiihi and instruction, to a'
greater extent than could have been sup-.
posed previous to inquiry. An English.
gentleman, who for. thirty, years was, con
nected with. the Antiquarian Book store in. -
London,lias interested hire Self in 'ascer
taining facts upon' this subject.
immense, labor •he has collected - the names
of 'works upon the, whole or single portions
of the Bible, and .made an able and.valnar
ble claisification of them. He has amt.=
tamed that their number is not tees thin
sixty thousand. —This number, in a -single
collection, would equal some ; of thellargest
libraries which embrace ' boOki upon all
subjects. -
On the first five' books, twenty-five hun
dred different works have-been published
and this, exclu,te of commentaries pn the
whole Bible; and not less thin 6e:then. :
sand works on the Psalms. The evangeli
cal prophet Isaiah has had two thousand'
commentators and about six thousand dif- 1
ferent volumes have..be,en published on the
four Gospels, as a whole, and. Matthew, in
particular„ exclusive of
• Coninientaries on
the whole .New 'Testament and the other
ly ,; There' haVe , been about
- :thenisandJworkseorrlitontans, and tall"
thousand on;Revelation;
But all this mighty labor bestowed upon
the Sacred - Yoliiine, clogs not exhaust the
mine. Pens are busy now, and thought is
flowing, from, them;, deep and earnest
thought, ,drawn from the same blessed
Book. If there be now three thousand
men 'upon the Gospels, yet the depths of
these living waters have not been sounded,
nor, all their treasures brought, to light.
Mind after mind sharpened by holy curi
osity, and burning with love and zeal, will
be' brenight into contact with these Lively
Oracles, as years and generations roll on—
those minds' to be, illumined and refreshed
by, these sacred studies, and communicat
inc, the results of them to the hungering
minds of others. •
We cenfess . worild gratify us to walk
into a library devoted to this one subject,
and tO find ourselves in the presence of
those sixty thousand volumes. What
vast congregation, echoing and re-echoing
the' sublime doctrines and sentiments of
the Book ! What a cloud of witneiser to
the value of it !—Boston. Traveller. •
Preaching.
It is not always the Gospel that is deliv
ered from the pulpit. A man: may preach
'very sensibly concerning the , Divine perfec
tion and authority of God's governreent and
laws'. He may set for the general obliga
tiotis to clutynnd obedience.. He may in
'culcate the amiableness of virtue in gener
-fat or of particular virtues, and ,may.repre
sent , many worthy examples for men's
encouiagement and excitement.
_He may
earnestly call on nien to repent of their
sins: and reform- the general dispdsition of
'their hearts and conduct. He may incul
cate this with all the earnestness and action,
'that would entitle him to the chardcter of
the complete 'orator. The compositiOn may
be very . ; the language; eloquent and
pathetic, and the preacher ntarbe so•great
ly applauded- that it may be sometimes said
Nth' his lewlird. Not only may ,the.
ears-` of Welteirerstbe tickledi thar
.minds' may be 'agreeably entertained with
sentiments that are in themselves just, and
With many a good thought. Yet, in all
this, there may be nothing by which a soul
may be relieved and refreshed, that labors
and is heavy laden; nothing by' which a
serious soul may be directed.to the proper
sources oCsanctification. A discourse may
'have in. it much truth that is consistent
with,the Gospel; and presupposed by it, and
yet have nothing in, it of the Gospel prop
erly so-called. Of such a discourse, with
all its advantage . of sentiments and expres
sion, it may: be said as the apostle says of
the law—it is` weak through the flesh. The
corruption. of nature,-in which sin hath do
minion, is too strong for logic, rhetoric, and
philosophy; too strong for refined specula
tion; too 'strong for the'greatest oratory.

Making Every Day Happy
When. you rise in the morning, form a
resolution .to make the day a happy one to
a felkw-creature. It is easily done-;:a left
off garment to the man who needs it; a
,kind' word toile sorrowful ; an encourag
ing expression' to the striving : trifles in
themselves; light as air, will do it, at least
for the twenty-four hours ; and if you are
young, depend upon it, it will tell when
you are'old ; and ' if , you are old, rest as
, surecLit' you gently' and' haPpily
down the stream of human time' to eter
nity;
By the most simple arithmetic, look at
the result; you send one person, only one,
happily through the day—that is, three
hundred and sixtY . .-five`in the" course _of the,
year ; t and supposing you live forty yearw,
only, after you commence that course of
medicine, you have made fourteen thousand
six hundred 'human beings happy, at all
events, for a time.
'Now, Worthy reader, is not this simple ?
rlt is too 'short for a sermon, too , hinneiffoi
