Teit: "It eame eren to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be beard la praising and thanking tho Lord." Chronicles v., 13. The temple waa done. It was the Tery ehorua of all maftnMcenoe and pomp. Splendor crowded against splendor. It was the diamond necklace ot the earth, from the huire pillars erownod with leaves and flower and rows of pomegranate wrought out In burnished metal down even to the tongs and tnnders made out of pure gold, everything was as eomplote as the Ood di rected architect could make It. It seemed as If a vision from heaven had alighted'oa the mountains. The day for dedication came. Tradition says that there were in and around about the temple on that dav 200,000 silver trumpets, 40.000 harps, 40,000 timbrels and 300,009 singers, so that all modern demonstrations at Dusseldorf or Boston seem nothing compared with that. As this great sound surged np amid the Erecious stones ot the temple It must ave seemed like the river ot life dashing against the amethyst of the wall of heaven. The sonnd arose, and Ood, as if to show that He was well pleased with the music which His children make in all ages, dropped Into the midst of the temple a cloud of glory so overpowering that the olttolntlng priests were obliged to stop In the midst of the services. Thore has been much discussion as to where muslo was born. I think that at the beginning, "when the morning stars sang together nnd all the bous of Ood shontod for Joy," tho earth hoard tho echo. Tho cloud on which tho angels stood to cele brate the creation was the birthplace of song. The stars that glitter at night are only so many keys of celestial pearl on which God's flogors play the music ot the spheres. Inauimute nature is full of God's stringed nnd wind Instruments. Kllcnce Itself portent silence Is only a musical rest in God's great anthom of worship. Wind among tho leaves, insect humming in the summer air, the rush of billow upon beach, the ocean far out sounding its ever lasting psalm, the bobolink on the edge ot the forest, the quail whistling up from the grass, are music. Whllovlsltiuglllockwell's Island I hoard, coming from a window of the lunntln asylum, a very sweet song. It was sung by ono who had lost her rousnn, and I have oomo to bnllove that even the flornngod nnd disordered elements of na ture would make musla to our ears if we only had acutonoss enough to llston. I suppose that even tho sounds In nature that aro discordant and repulsive niHko harmony In God's enr. You know that you may come so nonr to an orchistra that tho sounds are painful Instead of pleasurable, and I think that we stand so nonr devastat ing storm and frightful whirlwind we can not hear that which makes to God's ear und tho cur of the spirits ahovo us a music as complete ns it Is tremendous. I proposoto speak about sacred music, first showing you Its importance nnd then stating some of the obstacles to its advance ment. I draw the first argument for the Impor tanco of sacred music from the fact that God commanded it. Through Paul he tells us to admonish one another In psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Through David he cries out, "Sing ye to God, all yo king doms of the earth." And there 'are hun dreds of othor passages I might name, prov ing that it Is ns much a man's duty to sing as it is his duty to pray. Indeed I think thore are more oommands la the Bible to sing than there are to pray. God not only asks tor the human voloo, but tor the In struments ot musla. He asks for the cym bal and the harpfand the trumpet. And I suppose that in the last days of the church the harp, the flute, the trumpet and all the instruments of music that have given their chief aid to the thentor and bacchanal, will be brought by their mnsters and laid down at the feet of Christ and then sounded in the church's triumph on her wny from suf fering Into glory. "Praise yo tho Lord!" Praise Him with your volcos. Praise Him with stringed instruments and with or gans. I draw another argument for the Import ance of this exercise from the impresslve noss of the exercise. Vou know something of what secular muslo has achiuvod. You know it has made its impression upon gov ernments, upon laws, upon literature, upon whole general ions. One inspiring national nlr Is worth 30,000 men ns a standing army. There comes a time in the bnttlo when ono bugle is worth 1000 muskets. Inthoenrlier part of our Civil War the Government pro posed to economize in bands of music, and ninny of thorn wero sent home, hut tho gen erals la tho army sent word to Washington: "You aro mnklng a very great mistake. Wo are tailing hack und falling back. Wo have not enough music." I have to tell you that no nation or church c:m afford to severely ecotjoinlje In music. Why should Wo rob tho programmes of worldly gayety when we have so many ap propriate songs and tunos composed In our own day, as well as that magnificent luhcr itunco of church psalmody which hns como down fragrant with tho devotions of other generations tunes no nioro worn out than when our greatgrandfather cllmbod up ou them from the chureh new to glorv? Pear old souls, how they ii&d to sihgT And lu thoso duys there were certain tunes mar ried to certain hymns, and they have llvod In peuce a great while, these two old peo- tde, and wo have no right to divorce them, lorn as we have been amid this great wealth of church music, augmented by the compositions of artists la ourdny, weought not to be tempted out of the sphere of Christian hnrmony nnd try to soolt unoon eecrated sounds. It Is absurd for a million aire to steal. Many of you are illustrations of what a sacred song con do. Through it you were brought Into the kingdom ot Jesus Christ. You stood out against the warning and ar gument of the pulpit, but when. In the sweet words of Charles Wesley or John Newton or Toplady, tho love of Josus was sung to your soul, then you sur rendered as an armed castle that could not be taken by a host lifts its window to listen to a harp's thrill. There was a Scotch soldier dying In New Orleans, and a Hootch minister came In to give him tho consolations ot the gospel. The man turned over on his pillow and snid, "Don't talk to me about religion." Then the minister began to sing n familiar hymn that wus composed by David Dicken son, beginning with the words: Oh, mother dear, Jerusalem, When shall I come to thee? He sang It to the tune of "Dundee," and everybody In Scotland knows that, and as he began to sing the dying soldier turned over on his pillow and snid to the minister, "Whore did you learn that?" "Why," re plied the minister, "my mother taught me that." "Ho did mine," said the dying sol dier, and the very foundation of his heart was upturned, and then and thore be yielded himself to Christ. Oh, It has an IrrosUtl ble powerl Luther's sermons have been forgotten, but bis "Judgment Hymn" sings on through the agos and will koop on sing ing until the blast ot tho archangel's trmu- fiet shall bring about that very day which he hymn celebrates. I would to God that you would take these songs of salvation as messages from heaven, for just as certainly as the birds brought food to Elijah by the brook Cherlth so these winged harmonies, God sont are flying to your soul with the bread of life. Open your mouth and take Jt.O hungry Elijah! I have also noticed the bower of sacred song to soothe perturbation. You may have come in here with a great many wor riments and anxieties, yet perhaps In the singing ot the first hymn you lost them all. Ton have read In the Bible ot Saul, and how he waa sad and angry and how the boy David earn in and played the evil spirit oat ot htm. A Spanish king was melan. choly. The windows wero all elosed. Ha at in the darkness. Nothing eould bring him forth until Franeli eame and dis coursed music for three or four days to him. On the fourth day he looked np and wept and rejoiced, and the windows were thrown open and that which all the splen dors ot the court eould not do the power ot song accomplished. It you have anxie ties and worriments, try this heavenly charm upon them. Do not sit down on the bank of the hymn, but plunge in, that the devil of care may be brought out ot you. It also arouses to action. Do yon not know that a singing church is a'lways a triumphant church? It a congregation is silent during the exercise, or partially silent. It is the silence of death. It when the hymn is given out you hear the taint hum of here and there a father and moth er ia Israel, while the vast majority are sitout, that minister of Christ who is pre siding needs to have a very strong consti tution If he does not get the chills. He needs not only the grace ot God, but nerves like whalebone. It is amazing how some people with voice enough to dis charge all their duties in the world, when they come into the house of Ood have no voice to discharge this duty. I really be lieve that if the churoh of Christ eould rise up and sing as it ought to sing, where we have 100 souls brought Into the king dom ot Christ there would be 1000. How was it In olden time? Cajetan said, "Luther conquered ua bv his songs." But I must now sneak of some of the obstacles in the way ot the advancement ot this sacred musla, and the first Is that it has been impressed Into the service ot satan, I am tar from believing that muslo ought always to be positively religious. Refined art has opened places where music has been secularized, and lawfully so. The drawing room, the ooncert, by the gratifica tion ot pure taste nnd the production ot harmless amusement and the improvement ot talent, have become very forces in the advancement ot our civilisation. Musla has as much right to laugh in Surrey gardens as it bos to pray In bt. Paul's. In the kingdom ot nature we have the glad tiling of the wind as well as the long meter psalm of the thunder. But, while all this is so, every observer has noticed that this art, which God Intended for tho improve ment ot the ear. and the voice, and the head, and the heart, has often been im pressed Into the servioo of error. Tartlnl, t bo musical composer, dreamed one night that satan snatched from his hand an Instrument and played upon It something very sweet a drenm that hns often been fulfilled In our day the voloo and the Instruments that ought to have been de voted to Christ captured from the church and nppllod to the purposes ot sin. Another ohstnclu bos boen an Inordlnato fear ot criticism. Tho vast majority ot people singing In church never want any body else to hear them sing. Everybody is waiting for somebody else to do his duty. If wo all sang, thdu the iuuemiraclus Unit are evident when only a few slug would be drowned out. God asks you to do ns well us you can, nnd then if you get the wrong pitch or keep wrong time Ho will forglvo any deficiency of the ear nnd imperfection of the voice. Angels will not laugh it you should loso your place in the musical scale or come in ut tho close a bar behind. Thero aro three schools of sing ing, I am told the German school, the Italian school and the French school of singing. Now I would like to add a fourth school, and that Is the school of Christ. The voice of a contrite, broken heart, al though It mnyinot be able to stand human criticism, makes better music to God's ear than the most artlstlo performance when the heart Is wanting. Ood calls on the beasts, on the cattle, on the dragons, to praise Him, and we ought not to be behind the oattle and the dragons. Another obstacle In the advancement ot this art has beea the erroneous notion that this part of the service eould be oonduoted by delegation. Churches have said: "On, what an easy time we shall have! The minister will do the preaohlng, and the choir wllj do the singing, and we will have nothing to do." And you know as well as I that there are a great multitude ot ehurohes all through this land where the people are not expected to ting. The wholo work is done by a delegation of four or six or ten porsons, and the audience are silent. In suijh a churoh in Syracuse an old older persisted in singing, and so the choir appointed a committee to go and ask the elder If he would not stop. You know that in many ehurohes the choir are ex pected to do all the singing, and the great mass of the people toeexpectod to be silent, nnd it you utter your voice you are Inter fering. In that churoh they stand, the tour, with opera glasses dangling at tholr side, singing "Itoek ot ages, oleft tor mo," with tho same spirit that, the night bofore on tho stngo, they took their part In the "Grando Duchesso" or "Don Giovanni." Musla ought to rush from tho audience like the water from a rock clear, bright, sparkling. It all the other part of the church service is dull, do not have the music dull. With so many thrilling things to sing about, away with all drawling and stupidity, Thero Is nothing makes mo so nervous ns to sit ia a pulpit and look off on u'i audlunco with their eyes three-fourths closed and tholr ips uways shut, mumbling the praises of God. During my recent ab sence I preached to n large audience, and all tho music they made together did not equal ono skylark. People do not sleep at a coronation. Do not let us sleep when we como to a Saviour's crowning. In order to a propj jlschargo of this dutv Jet iS slaaj tip, Save as ng or weakness or fatigue ex cuses us. Heated In ah easy pew we can not do this duty half so well as when, up right, wo throw our whole body into It. Let our soug be like an aoolauintloa ot vic tory. You have a right to sing. Do not surrender your prerogative. We want to rouso all our families upon this subject. We want each family of our eongregatloB to be a singing sohool. Child isn petulance, obduracy and intractability would be soothed if we had more singing In the household, and then our little ones would be prepared for the great congrega tion on Sabbath day, their voices uniting with our voices In the praises ot the Lord. After a shower there are scores of streams that oome down the mountain side with voices rippling and silvery, pouring Into one river and then rolling in united strength to the sea. So I would have all the families in our church send forth tho voice of prayer and praise, pouring it into the great tide ot public worship that rolls on and on to empty into the great, wide heart ot God. Never esn we have our churoh sing as It ought until our families sing as thev ought. There will be a great revolution on this subject in all oburohos. God will come down by bis spirit and rouse up the old hymns and tunes that have not been more than half awake since the time of our grand fathers. The silent pews In theohuroh will break forth Into muslo, and when the con ductor takes his place on the Sabbath day there will be a great host of voloes rushing Into the harmony. My Christian friends, it wo have no taste for this service on earth what will we do In heaven, where they all sing land sing forever? I would that our singing to-day might be like the Satur day night rehearsal for the Sabbath morn ing In tho skies, and we might begin now, by the strength and by the help of God, to discharge a duty which none ot us boa fully performed. And now what more appro priate thing oaa I do than to give out the doxology of the heavens, "Unto Him Tho hath loved us aad washed ns from our sins In His own blood, to Him be glory foreverl" Farmers In parts ot Ohio are troabled wit h a plague of rats so serious as to threaten heavy financial loss.

D. M. Stearns. 1-3. "And when It eame to pass that we were parted from them we sailed unto Syria and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to nolade her burden." This Is a summary ot these three verses, quoting from the R. V. He was hastening, if it were possible, to be at Jerusalem by the day of Pentecost (chapter xt.. 16), but as they were dependent upon the possibility of finding a vessel about to sail in the di rection In which they wished to Journey, and upon favorable winds. It would not teem to us much like making haste. 4. "And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days, who said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Je rusalem." The Gospel had reaohed and been received by some In this city, and so the travelers aad the residents were nt once friends, for there is no bond like the blond of Christ. His redeemed ones are all clti sens of heaven, but pilgrims, and strangers here (Thil. lil., ao. U. V.; I Pet. II.. in. Rut here Is a strange message to Paul which makes us think of chapter xvl., 0, 7, when the Spirit suffered him not to go Into Asia or Bithynla. In that case he was obedient. Let us see how he acts now. 6. "And when we had accomplished those days we departed nnd went our wny, and we kneeled down on the shore nnd prayed." The Spirit had not said to stop at Tyre, nor to proceed no farther, so it was all right to move on. How touching this parting scene! Men, women and children accompany Paul and his companions out ot the city, and all kneel on the hore in prayer. Ho in ehnpterxx.,.8, before leaving the elders of Ephesus he kneeled down and prayed with them all. 6. "And when we had taken our leave one of another we took ship, ami thev re turned homo again." These believers at Tyre may have been part of tho result of the visit of our Lord (Math. xv.. 21 2H, or perhtps through the preaching of those who wero scattered at Stephen's death (Ai'ts vlll., 4). There is Just one thing for disciples to bo doing, whether nt homo or abroad, and that Is to walk worthy of our calling and show ourselves approved unto God (I Thess. II.. 12; II Tim. II., l.V). 7. "And when wo had finished our voy age from Tyre we came to Ptolumitls niiil saluted the brethren and abode with them one day." Rrief hut blessed visits of men of God and foretastes of tho eternal fellow ship of tho future. Thero would be but one topic of conversation, tho kingdom of Ood and the things concerning tho Lord Jesus Christ (Acts xxvlll., Ml but one book, the Scriptures, nnd doubtless much prayer. Tho believers would be. encouraged to l steadfast and to do all in their power to give the Gospel toothers. 8. "We entered into the house of Phillip, the evangelist, which was one of the seven, nnd abode with him." Leaving l'tolemais, they eame to Ctrsnrea, which seems to bo Philip's home. The Inst wo heard of him wns preaching in the cities from Azotus to Cn-saroa after ho had led the treasurer of Queea Candnoe to Christ (Acts vlll.. 40). He la still known as a bearer of glad tid ings and was doubtless continually at It. Why Ihould not every believer bo in some large sonso an evangelist, an embassador for Christ? 9. "And tho same man had four daugh ters, virgins, which did prophecy." Daugh ters as well as sons are Included in the promkts of the gift nt the Spirit (Joel II., 2rt; Acts II., 17). In tho Old Testament Miriam, poborah and Uuldah nnd in the New the womon whom He sent from the sepuln'mr. and Priscllla and others are notable examples ot women whom He used as Hb- messengers. 10. Jl. "Thus said the Holy Ghost, so shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the mnn thatowneth this girdle nnd shnll deliver blmltitothe hands ot the gentiles." Thus testified a prophet named Agabus.who came down from Judiea. and being with these dlsaln.es took Paul's girdle ami signlllcant- ly bound his own hands and feet with the same. Thus for the second time Paul is warned not to go up to Jerusalem, ami it is the Holy Spirit who tells him not to go. 12. "And when we heard these things both we nnd they of that place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem." Now it is possible for a man to stand alone with Ood and heal) right, and it is possible for a man to think he Is standing with God and be Handing with himself. 13. "Thon Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart' for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Je sus." This Is certainly n right attitude of soul for a believer, anil the only right atti tudeto be ready for life or death, pros perity or advorsity, If only God Is glorified thereby but my perplexity here Is to know what was the heartbreaking part of this affair to Paul. Was he so set upon getting to Jerusalem at this particular time that his heart would break if he did not accomplish It, or was he so set upon doing the will of God that his heart would break if he failed to doit? If the, latter, thon why not accept the voice of tho Spirit at Tyro and ('irsarea and be satisfied to bo subject to the Hpirit i'l this matter? Is not perfect submission tot lie will of Ood the highest mission ou onrlh? As one has , Bald: I Is hot His Will tho wisest; is not His way the best? And in perfect acquiescence b; thero not per fect rest? 14. "And when ho would not bo per suaded we ceased, saying, Tho will ot the Lord be done." Both Paul und liarnnbas could not be right in the matter of John Mark (Acts xv 37-11), and both parties eannot be right in this case, but the breth ren yield to Paul and nppeul to God. It is good to say, "Thy will lie done," but it Is better to do It without resistance. It Is good to say, "It is the Lord; let Him do what seemeth Him good," but it is better to be wholly in His hand that He may un hindered do whnt seemeth Him good. The after developments and the years of wait ing as a prisoner (Acts xxiv., 27), nil seem to indicate that this going to Jerusalem at this time wns ot Paul and not of God. 15. "And after those days we took up our carriages U. V., our baggage and went up to Jerusalem." Tho Lord will neither fall nor forsake His people, even though they do not see His will clearly, provided tney really waht to honor Him, and Paul certainly wanted to magnify Christ, even unto dying for film. Hee therefore the gracious visits and messages ot the Lord to His servant In his sore trou bles in Acts xxill., 11; xxvii., 23-25. Muy we ever hear His blessed "Be of good oheer, fear not," and be able truthfully to say, "Whose I am and whom I serve." May our only aim be to please Him, never want ing to be at Jerusalem or elsewhere unless He wants us there.Leson Helper. England Iluylng Horses.'
