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"

Jerusalem," Acta xxl., 1-15 Oohlrn
Teat: Acta x!., IS Commentary en
the Leeaoa by the Rev. 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
