THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA.. THURSL AY, NOVEMBER 12, | ROG HARMONY. In the Beginning God Created All Things Perfeot. Discord Was Order to Lives Produced by Sin, Restore Harmony Must be Attuned the Gospel Harp. and Our by The theme chosen by Dr. Talmage for his most recent sermon at Wash- ington was “The Chant of the Stars” and he chose as his text Job 88: “Who laid when the morning stars sang ar?" We have all seen the ceremony at the laying of the corner-stone of church, asylum, or Masonic temple. Into the hollow of the stone were placed scrolls of history and important documents, to be suggestive if, one or two hundred 6 Nn thereof, togeths the corner-stone baptize one of the other planets with the spirit of battle and call its Mars, after the god of war, and we give to the eighth sign of the zodiae the name of the scorpion, a creature which chiefly celebrated for its deadly sting But, after all, these symbols are ex pressive of the way nation feels to ward natiom., Discord wide as the con tinent and bridging the seas, [I suppose you have 13 noticed how | warmly in love dry goods stores are with other dry goods stores, and how highly grocerymen think of the sugars of the grocerymen on the same street | And in what a eulogistic way allopathic | and homeopathic doctors speak of each | other, and { times how ministers will some- put ministers on that beautiful | cooking instrument which the English | eall a spit, an iron roller with spikes on it, and turned by a erank before a hot fire, and then if the minister being { roasted cries out against it, the men years after, the building should be de- | stroyed by fire or torn down. We re- member the silver trowel or iron ham- mer that smote the square piece of granite into sancity. We venerable man who presided wielding the trowel or hammer. We remember also the music as the choir stood on the scattered stones and tim- ber of the building about .to be con- structed. The leaves of the note book fluttered in the wend and were turned over with a great rustling, and we re- member how the baritone, bass, tenor, contralto and soprano mingled. They had for many days been rehearsing the special programme; that it might be worthy of the corner- stone laying. In my text the poet of Uz calls us to a greater ceremony the laying ‘the foundation of this great temple of a world. of 1 crystal. ments of clouds stood some voices com- of The corner-stone was a block ight, and the trowel was of celestia All about and on the embank- the angelic chor- isters, unrolling their librettos of over- ture, and other worlds the cymbals while God. th went remony and eo arger of meteors maa the whole soundaus, space between the 3 of tune the swerved Sr the mem * the will weak or the tem- per flammable, the well-balanced mind escs Dv ana? patib court ra father's will court or ptional, J ymestie life out of tune; only here ’ wn conjugal outbreak of incom- of temper through the divorce filial through outbreak about a the surrogate’s of wife-beating or hus the sands of families with A Cale band-poisoning through criminal courts, but tho June outside and January within Society out of tune; labor and capital, each caste keeping those down in their hands other's throats, Spirit of on the social scale who are struggling to get up, and putting those who are up in lest they down. No wonder the old pianoforte of society isall out of tune, when hypoerisy and byl, subterfuge, and double. dealing, and sycophancy, and charla- anism, and revenge have for six thou- sand yoo rs been banging awry at the keys and stamping the pedals On all sides there is a shipwreck of harm Nations in discord with- out realizing it; so wrong is the feeling of for nation that symbols ohosen are flerce and destructive. In this country, where our skies are full of robins, doves and morning larks, we have our national symbol, the flerce and flithy eagle, as cruel a bird as can be found in all the ornithologieal catalogues In Great Britain, where they have lambs and fallow deer, their symbol is the merciless lion. In Kuossia, where from between her frozen north and bloom: ing south all kindly beasts dwell, they ohose the growling lear; and in the world's heraldry on favorite figure is the dragon, the fable winged serpent, ferocious and dreadful. And so fond is the world of contention that we climb out through the heavens and anxiety have to come and Mies, nation . sim wu who are turning him say: “Hush, my | brother, we are turning this spit for { the glory of God and the good of your { soul, and you must be quiet, while we remember | { world's corner-stone, when the siose the service with: Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love." The earth is diametered and cireum- Jervenced with discord, and the music that was rendered at the laying of the morn- ing stars sang together, is not heard how; and though here and there, from this and that part of society, and from this and that part of the earth, there comes up a thrilling solo of love, or a warble of worship, or a sweet duet of patience, they discord that shakes the earth Paul “The whole creation groaneth,” and while the nightingale, and the woodlark, and the canary, and the plover sometimes sing so sweetly are drowned by a out says: that their notes have been written out in musical and it that the cuckoo sings in the key of that the cormorant the winged choir, yet sportsman’s gun ind the antumnal blast ofte led and bleeding or Pau nature of 43 found D, ASSO In notation, is and isa b n leave » forest, 1 was rig in 108 | grandad PR exmience than morning and the ’ than thie mating stars SEspers wi sweeter work of a and of I he good men and women churches and ail good all reform associations help to bring the race back to the orig- taal The to be attuned, social life to be attuned, harmony, rebellious heart commercial ethies to be attuned, inter. nationality to be attuned, hemispheres to be attuned Now, our be ate tuned by an instrument, Even a Cremona would not do has ordained the only instrument, and t is made out of the wood of the cross, and the volees that accompany it are imported volces, cantatrices of the first Christian night, when Heaven sere- naded the earth with “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will to men.” Lest we start too far off, and get lost in generalities, we had better begin with ourselves, get omr own hearts and lives in harmony with the eternal Christ. Oh, for his Al- mighty Spirit to attune us, to chord our will with his will, to moduinte our life with his life, and bring us into unison with all that is purs, and sells sacrificing, and Heavenly! The strings of our nature are all broken and twist ed, and the bow is so stack it eannot evoke anything mellifluons.

Cleveland Snlvationists Make a Becord for Fust Singing. One hundred and thirty-two songs in forty-eight minutes is the record made by the Guard street Salvation Army corps, : Tho members are extremely proud of the record. It makes them the cham pions of the world they sang more songs in a shorter period of time thar any other Balvation Army corps was ever known to have sung. They went into the contest to carry off the honors and they splendidly. No prize accompanies the accomplishment of this remarkable feat, except the hon or of being the champions of the world The contest, which is known in the Salvation Army parlance as a battle of song, was a novel one, and never before tried in this city. Indeed, only three such battles are on record in this coun- try. The highest mark reached was by a corps somewhere in Illinois, which sang sixty songs in forty-five minutes A corps in Quincy, England, has held the championship, having sung 100 songs in forty five minutes. Capt. De Garis of the Guard street barracks made up his mind that his corps could beat the record. He made out a list of 180 songs, which he thought could be sung in forty-five min and members were furnished with copies of the list, After the contest was ended it was re ported that two songs, which had not been om ramnme, had been started i and this raised the record to 182 forty-eight minutes, or one song about every twenty street Corps 1s now awaiting contests tais land Plain Buc coaoded tes, +t} 157 the i advertent Guard other eagerly, learn whether record can be beaten, —C 4% ive Dealer.
