A GOSPEL MESSAGE.
Ood'a rerfert Harmony and tha Dlieord
That W Made by HlaTh Time U
Comln( Win h World Will Aaa
RMoaad to Hearenlf Harmoni-M.
Tut: "Who laid thenornerstone thereof,
when the morning stars sang together?"
We hafl all wn the oeremnnvat the Inr.
Inn of the cornerstone of rhurch. asylum or
Masonic temple. Into the hollow of the
Mone were placed scrolls of history and Im
portant documents, to be suirirostlve if. 100
or itOu yeara after, the building should be
umiroyea Dy nr or torn down. We re
member the sliver trowel or Iron hammer
that Smote the square piece ot granite into
sanctity. We remember some venerable
man who presided wielding the trowel or
nammer. Vi e remember also the music as
ine enolr stood on the scattered stones and
timber of the building about to be con
structed. The leaves of the notebooks
fluttered in the wind and were turned over
with a great rustling, and we remember
now tbe bass, baritone, tenor, contralto
and soprano voices commingled. They had
tor many days lieen rehearsing the special
programme that it might be worthy of the
cornorstone laying.
In my text the poet of Vt call us to a
grander ceremony the laying of the foun
dation of this great temple of a world.
The cornerstone was a block of light, and
the trowel was of celestial crystal. All
about and on the embankments of clouds
stood the angelic choristers unrolling their
librettos of overture, and other worlds
clapped shining cymbals while the cere
mony went on, and Ood. the Architect, by
stroke of light after stroke of light, dedi
cated this great cathedral of a world, with
mountains for plilnrs and sky for frescoed
celling and flowering Holds for a floor and
sunrise and midnight aurora for uphol
stery. "Who laid the cornerstone) thereof,
when the morning stars sang togntherV''
The fact Is that the whole universe was a
eonipleto cadouee, an unbroken dithy
ramb, a musical portfolio. Tbe great sheet
of immensity bad been spread out, ami
written on it were the stars, the smaller of
them minims, the larger of tliem eustniiieil
notes. Tbe meteors marked the staccato
passages, the whole heavens a gamut with
all sou lids, intonations, modulations, the
space between the worlds n musical In
terval, trembling of stellar light n quaver,
the thunder a bass clef, the wind among
tri es ft treble clef. That Is the way Hod
made all things a perfect Illinium v.
Hut one day n harp string snapped in I he
great orchestra. One day a voice sounded
out of tuno. One day n discord, harsh mid
terrille, grated upon the glorious antiphoti.
It was sin Hint made the dissonance, mid
that harsh discord has been sounding
through the centuries. All the work of
Christians and philanthropists nnl reform
ers of all ages is to stop that discord and
get all things back into tlio perfect har
mony which was hoard ut the liiying of the
cornerstone when the morning stars sang
together. Before I get through, If 1 am
divinely helped, I will make it plain that
sin is discord and righteousness harmony;
that in general things are out of tuuo is as
plain as to a musician's car is the unhappy
clash of clarinet nud bassoon in an orches
tral rendering. '
The world's health out of tune; weak
lungs and the atmosphere In collision, dis
ordered eye and noonday light in quarrel,
rheumatic limb ami damp weather in strug
gle; neuralgias, and pneumonias, and con
sumptions, and epileptics In Hocks sweep
the neighborhoods and cities. Wlicro vou
II ml one person with sound throat, and keen
eyesight, untl alert car, and easy respira
tion, and regular pulsation, nud supple
limb, and prime digestion, nud steady
nerves, vou llud 100 who linvo to bo very
careful because this or that or the other
physical function Is disordered.
The human intellect out of tuno; the
judgment wrongly swayed, or the memory
leaky, or the will wenk, or the temper In
flammable, the well balanced mind excep
tional. Domestic life out of tune; only here and
there a conjugal outbreak of 'incunipata
billty of temper through the divorce courts
or n filial outbreak about n fat her's will
through the surrogate's court, or a case of
wifu beating or husband poisoning through
the criminal courts, but thousands of fami
lies with June outside and January within.
Society out of tunc; labor nud capital,
their hands on each other's throat; spirit
of caste keeping those down ill the social
scale who uro struggling to get up, and
putting those who are up In nnxlotv lest
they have to come down. No wonder the
old pianoforte of society is all out of tuni
when hypocrisy, and lying, and subterfuge?"
mid double dealing, and sycophancy, and
charlatanism, and revenge have for Ilium
years been banging away at the Lcvs and
titaiuplng the pedals.
Ou all sides there Is a shipwreck of har
monies - nations in discord without realiz
ing it. No wrong Is the feeling of mil Ion
for nation that symbols eliosnn are llcrcc
and destructive. In this country, where
our skies are full of robins aud doves and
morning larks, we have our national sym
bol, the fierce and filthy engle, as cruel a
bird as can be found in all the oriiilliolngi
enl cattilogues. In tlreai iJiitiun. where
they have lambs and fallow deer, theirsvm
bol is the merciless Hon, In llussla. whore
from between her frozen north to her
blooming south nil kindly beasts dwell,
they chose the growling bear, and in the
world's heraldry a favorite llgure Is the
dragon, the fabled winged srrpeiil, fero
cious and dreadful. And so f.iu.l is the
world of contention that we climb out
through the heavens and luipti.e one of
the other planets with the spirit of battle
and call it Mars, after the god of war. and
wo give to the eighth sign of the r.oiinie
the name of the scorpion, a creature which
is chiefly celebrated for its deadly sting.
Hut, after all, these symbols lire exprcssivo
of the way nation feels toward nation dis
cord wide us the continent and bridging
the sens.
I suppose you have noticed bow warmly
In love dry goods stores urn with other dry
goods stores, and how highly grocery men
think of the sugars of the grocery mini on
tho snme street, nud in what a eulogist io
way allopathic and homeopathic doctors
speak of each other and how ministers will
sometimes put ministers on that beautiful
cooking instrument which the Kuglisli call
a spit an iron roller with spikes on it and
turned by a crunk before a hot lire and
then, If the minister being rousted erics out
against It, the men who are turning him
say, "Hush, my brother; we are turning
this spit for the glory of tiod and the good
of your soul, anil you must be quiet, while
we close tbe service with:
most be the tie that binds
'Our hearts In Christian love.' "
The earth isdlnmotercd snd clrcumfcr
enced with discord, and the music, that wits
rendered at tbe laying of the world's cor
nerstone when the morning stars sang to
gether isnot heard now, and though here
and there from this and that part of so
ciety and from this and that part of the
earth there comes up a thrilling solo of
love, or a warblo of worship, or a sweet
duet of patience, they are drowned out by
a discord that shakes the enrtli.
Paul says, "The whole crestlon gronn
eth." And while tho nightingale, nud the
woodlnrk, and the cannrv, and the plover
sometimes sing so sweetly that their notes
have been written out In musical notntlon,
and it Is found that the cuckoo sings In the
key of D nnd thnt the cormorant is a basso
In tbe winged choir, yet sportsman's guu
and the autumnal blast often leave them
ruffled and bleeding or uVnd In meadow or
forest. Paul was right, for the groan lu
nature drowns out the prima donnas of tuo
ky.
Tartlnl, the groat musical composer,
dreamed one night that he made a contract
With aatan, the latter to be ever la the
com poser's service. But one night ha
handed to aatan a violin, on which OU bo
lus played such sweet music that the com
Doner was awakened by the emotion and
tried to reproduce the sounds, and there
from was written Tartlni's moat famous
piece, "The Devil's Sonata." a dream in
genious, but faulty, for all melody de
scends from heaven and only disoorda as
cend from hell. All hatreds, feuds, con
troversies, backbitinga and revenges are
the) devil's sonata, are diabolic fugue, are
demoniac, phantasy, are grand march of
doom, are allegro of perdition.
But if in this world things in general are
out of tune to our frail ear. how much
more so to beings angelic and delflc! It
takes a skilled artist to fully appreciate
disagreement of sound. Many have no ca
pacity to detect a defect of musical execu
tion, and though there were In one bar as
many offenses against harmony as could
crowd In bet wren the lower of the bass
and the higher O of the soprano It would
give them no discomfort, while on the fore
head of the educated artist beads of per
spiration would stand out as a result of tbe
harrowing dissonance. While an amateur
waa performing on a piano and bad just
struck the wrong chord, John Sebastian
Bach, the Immortal composer, entered the
room, and tbe amateur rose In embarrass
ment, and Baoh rushed past the host, who
stepped forward to greet him, and befort
the keyboard had stopped vibrating put his
adroit haad upon the keys and changed
the painful inliarmony into glorious
cadence. Then Bach turned and gave salu
tation to the host. .
But the worst of nil discord Is moral dis
cord. If society aud the world are pain
fully discordant to imperfect man, what
must they be to a perfect (lod? l'eonle trv
to define what sin is. It seems to me that
sin is getting out of harmony with Ood. a
disagreement with his hnllnes, with his
purity, with his love, with his commends
our will clashing with his will, the finite
dashing against tin) Inllnite, the frail
against the puissant, the created against
the creator. If 1000 musicians, with flute
and cornet-n-piston and trumpet and vlo
lomvdly, the linnthoy nnd trombone and
nil the wind nnd stringed Instruments that
ever gathered in a Dusseldorf Jubilee should
resolve that they would play out of tune
and put concord to the ruck and make the
place wild with shrieking and grating nnd
rasping sounds, they could not make such
pandemonium ns thitt which rages in a sin
ful soul when (lod listens to the nliiv of lis
thoughts, passions nnd emotions -discord,
uieioug uiscorii, mniiiiening discord.
1 lie world pays more for discord thnt it
Iocs for consonance. High nriees have
been paid for music. One man guvo. Wii
to bear tho Swedish songstress In New
York, and another ?l.i to hear her In llos-
ton. ajul another ll.")0 to bear her In Provl
doiien. Fabulous prices have been paid for
sweet sounds, but far more 'lias I n paid
for discord. Tho Crimean War eosl 1.70(1..

fussed Christian nations are about 15.000.

Discord! Discord!
But I have to tell vou tluit tho soul.' that
the morning stars sang together at tho lay
ing oi tuo worm s cornerstone isto resound
ii gm n. Mozart s greatest overture was
(imposed one night when bo was several
times overpowered with sleep, and artists
say they can tell the places in the music
wiirru lie iiwnkeneil. So tlio overture of
the morning stars spoken of In my text
has been asleep, but It will awaken and bo
more grandly rendered by tho evening
tars of th( world's existence than bv the
morning stars, and the vesners will l
sweeter than the matins. The work of nil
good men nnd womou nnd of nil good
churches nnd all reform associations help
to bring tho race back to the original har
mony. Tho rebellions heart to be at tuned,
social life to be attuned, commercial ethics
to be attuned, lutcrnationiility to bo at
tuned, hemispheres to be attuned.
The whole world must also be attuned
by tho snme power. I wis In tho Fair
banks weighing scale manufactory of Ver
mont. Six hundred bands, and they never
hiul n strike! Complete harmony between
labor nud capital, the operatives of scores
of years In their beautiful homes near by
the mansions of the manufacturers, whose
Invention and Christian behavior made the
great enterprise. So, all the world over,
labor and capital will bo brought into
euphony. Vou may have heard what Is
called the "Anvil Chorus," composed by
Verdi, u inno played by hammers, gruat
and small, now with mighty stroke nnd
now with heavy stroke, heating n great
Iron anvil. That is what the world has got
to come to -anvil chorus, yardstick chorus,
shuttle chorus, trowel chorus, crowbar
chorus, pickax chorus, gold mine chorus,
rail track chorus, locomotive chorus. It
itim be done, and it will ho. done: so all
social life will bo attuned by the gospel
harp.
Ilea yon Is to hnve a'newsong, an entirely
new song. Hut I should not wonder if, ns
sometimes on earth, ntuue is fashioned out
of many tunes, or it is one tunc with the
variations: so sonic of the songs of tho re
deemed may have been playing through
them the songs of earth. And how thrill
ing, as coming through the great anthem of
tho saved, accompanied by harpers with
their harps and trumpeters with their
trumpets. If we should hear some of the
strains of "Antloeb" and "Mount 1'lsgah"
and "Coronation" and "Lenox" and "St.
Martin's" uml "Fountain" and "Arlul" and
"Old Hundred!" How they wo.ild bring to
mind the praying circles and communion
days, mid the Christmas festivals, nnd the
church worship in which on earth we min
gled! I have no idea that when we bid
farewell to earth we are to bid farewell to
all these grand old gospel hymns which
melted and raptured our souls for so many
years. Now, ifsin is discord nnd righteous
ness Is harmony; let us get out of the one
and enter the other.
t Lord, our (bid, quickly fisher In the
whole world's peace jubilee, and all islands
of tbe sea join the live continents, and all
the musical instruments of nil nations
combine, uml nil the organs that ever
sounded requiem of sorrow sound only il
grand march of Joy, and all tho bells that
tolled for burial ring for resurrection, and
nil the cannon that ever hurled dentil
ucross the nations sound forth eternal vic
tory. And over all necbilm of earth and
minstrelsy of heaven there will bo heard
one voice sweeter nnd mightier than any
human or angelic voice, a voice once full ot
tours, hut now full of triumph, tho voice of
Christ saying, "I am alpha and omega,
tlio beginning and tbe end. tho first and
the last." Then, at the laying of the Cop
stone of the world's history, the amo
voices shall be heard as when, at the lay
ing of the world's oornerstone, "tho morn
log stars sang together."
CAUGHT A CHILD ON THE FUY.
Hurled From a XI a saw r Baggy, Bat
Haved by a Bystander.
The most fortunate catch ever witnessed
in Elisabeth, N. J., was made a tow after
noons ago, by a young man who rofusci to
giro his name.
John Conard, of Elisabeth avenue, was
out driving with his threu-yoar-old child.
The horse took fright and ran away. In
trying to stop the animal Mr. Conard was
thrown out. lie won cut and bruised but
not seriously. The' child remained la the
buggy until the horse crashed Into a lamp
post. The shook brought the runaway to
a standstill nnd shot the child into the air
ns though thrown from a catapult. Tha
little one was but a few feet from the win
dows of Homing's drug, and was thrown
straight at them, hut, while In the air, a
young man who hud been standing In

INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS
FOR MAY 3a
Textt "Christian Faith leads to
flood Works," James II., 14-33 fiol.l
n feat: "1. Will Show My Faith by
. My Works," J as. II. J1 a Commentary.
'14. ."What doth It profit, my brethren,
though a man say he hath faith and bavo
not works? Can faith save him?" The
R. V. says, "Can that tuith save him?"
There are no contradictions In the teach
Ing of Scripture, and one ot the plainest
doctrines In all the books, taught even in
this lesson by the Spirit, through James
(verse 23) Is that the only salvation re
vealed to us is that which has been fully
wrought out for us by the Lord Jesus
Christ without any help of ours, and which
we must receive by faith as a free gift from
Ood. See Bom. Iv.. 6; Eph. il., 8; Titus ill.,
5. It is most unmistakably clear that we
are saved by faith alone. But It is just as
clearly taught that tho evidence of that
faith will bo -seen in our dully lives by onr
walking In the good works prepared for
us. See Eph. IL, 10; Titus ill., H. A faith
that does not produce good works and a
holy life Is not genuine, but is an empty
name.
r IS, 16. "If "a brother or sister be naked
and destitute ot daily food, and one ot you
ay unto them, Depart in peace, be ye
warned and filled, notwithstanding ye give
them not those things which are needful to
tho body. What doth It profit?" Or as
John says, "My little children', let ns not
love In word, neither in tongue, bdt In
deed and truth" (I John III., NO. Jesus
Himself said, "My mother nnd Mv brethren
are these which henr tho word of (lod and
do If (Luke vlll., SU). And again, "N;t
every one thnt snlth unto Me Lord, Lord,
shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but
he that doeth the will of My Father, which
Is In henven" (Math. vll 21).
17. "Even so (iiit'i, If It hath not works,
Is dead, being alone," or, as In tho margin,
"by Itself." Faith comet h bv hearing the
word of (iod (Itom. x 17) tiiat Is, by re.
reiving the word of God. and the word ol
(lod is Incorruptible seed, which Is sure to
grow. Fnlth receives Christ Into the heart,
and Christ In us cannot Is) bid any more
than He could he hid In the bouse in the
borders of Tyr.) iind'Shlon (Mark vll., 'ill.
Von walk by n Held in which not n green
blade is to be seen, although it looks as II
It bad been sown, mid tho fanner says that
be sowed it with good seed three months
ago. Kit her the seed was no good or was
destroyed after being sown, or the farmer
lied.
IN. "Yea, n man may sny, Thou hast faith
and I have works, show me thy faith
without thy works and I will show thee mv
faith by my works." The U. V. margin Iw
gins this verse, "But some one will sav."
Wo can talk faith, but we cannot show fait 11
except by our deeds. It Is the same wit h
love, (iod does not need our works to
prove our faith, for He can read the heart,
but He tolls us that believers should be
careful to maintain good works because
they are good nnd prolltahle unto men
(Titus iii.. H). Not only prolltublo to those
who do the works, for wo are to ho re
warded according to our works ( Itcv. xxii.,
12; I Cor. ill., 8, H). but protltablo to those
who, seeing the good works, mav be led by
tliem to Him who worketh In' us both to
will and to do of Ills good pleasure 1 1'hll.
II.. 13). V
"Thou bcllevcst thnt there Is onv
Hod. Thou doest well. The devils also
believe and tremble." The II. V. wivi
"shudder" Instead of tremble, and the ii.
V. margin says "demons Instead of devils.
There is but one devil, though there are
hosts of demons, his followers. One has
Raid thut there are no atheists or Inlldels In
hell. All who are thoro believe In the re
alities of boll and the devil, of (lod and of
heaven, but they cannot bellevo on the
Lord Jesus Christ nud be saved. Those
who (lie in their sins can never cpmo where
Christ Is (John vlll., 21). Thereforo It is
written, "Because there Is wrath, beware
lest He take thee awny with His stroke.
Then a great ransom cannot deliver thee"
(Job xxxvl., NO. It is greatly to be feared
that many professing Christians nre no
iMittcr, us far as salvation Is concerned,
man tun demons wtio believe and shudder.
They bellovu ail about (lod and Christ and
have been received Into church member
ship because of this knowledge, backed up
by a good moral character. But having
never truly r Ived Christ (John I., la i,
they continue ,,st souls.
20. "Hut wilt thou know. O vain man, that
faith witbout works is dead?" Tho knowl
edge of Ood and of Christ that does not
lend one to receive the Lord Jesus Christ
Into his heart will only proven greater con
demnation. This class of people is described
ill lleb. vl., 4-fi, ns enlightened, tasted the
gift, knew somewhat of the Spirit's teach
ing. Hut if tlio continuance in grace nnd
good works Is lacking, then It Is evident
thut they merely believed about Christ, but
never truly received Him. In II Pot. li.,
UO-'il, we rend again of such as were to some
extent benelltod by their knowledge, but
were never truly newcreat arcs.
21. "Was not Abraham our fatherjustillnd
by works when he had offered Isaac his son
upon the altar.'" Tills was thooiitward and
evident justlllcatlou before men, for we nre
justltled freely by grace, meritoriously by
the blood of Christ nnd Instniuientallv by
faith Horn. Hi., 'M v., 0, 1), mid there is no
conflict or contradiction in thiwo state
ments. Abraham rusted for twenty-live
years on tho bare promise of OoiLvnThon
Isaac was given. After be had grown to bo
a Ind Ood tried his servant to sou if he was
(dill resting on the promise or upon the visi
ble Isaac. Now, (lod knew His servant's
heart nud did not need to prove him that
Ood might know, but that nil generations
might see that Abraham rested not in the
visible gift of (lud, but in Uod Himself uud
His sure word.
22. "SecHtthou how faith wrought with
bis workw, and by works was faith mado
perfect." Fuith, the germ; works, tho
manifestation. It Is written In Hub. xl.,
17-1'.), that Abraham, when be was tried, by
faith offered up Isaac, In whom tbe prom
ises wero to bn fulllllcd, believing that (iod
was nlilo to raise him up even from the
dead, from whence also He received him in
a llgure. In Horn. lv ltl-21, it Is written
concerning tbe birth of Isaac, that Abra
ham did not consider himself nor Sarah.
Hut strong in faith, giving glory to Ood,
ho was fullly persuaded that Ood was able
to and would perforin what Ho had prom
ised. J8. "And the Borlpture was fulfilled,
which salth Abraham believed (iod, and it
was imputed unto him for righteousness,
and he waa called the friend of Ood."
When Ood told Abraham that his seed
should be as tbe stars for multitude, Abra
ham certainly could not feel that It would
be so. His only assurance was the word of
Ood, and because he took Ood at His word
we have this statement concerning him In
Oen, xv., , where we have the words "be
lieve" and "righteousness" used for the
llrjt Uine in Scripture. Lesson Helper.
