i, DURING WORSHIP.

From the Village Record.
II has been observed by man who
understood human nature well, that if he
could make the ballads of nation, he
cared not who made their iazvS. "From
the earliest times, the lover has interested
his mistress, and the general excited his
troops, by means of music and song
The Greeks had their battle hymn, our
wild indians have their war song, and no
doubt in this C )untry, many mother has
walled the influence of the "spiril stirring
drum"
The Germans are nation particularly
iond of music, and in most countries in
habited by them, sacred music at least,
is taught in their common schools. For
this they are probably indebted in some
measure to the great founder of their
religion, that mighty performer, Martin
Luther. He appears to have been a
master Of this art, and understood its
influence upon the human character, its
! wonderful power in awakening the deeper
| feelings OF our nature well. "Old Hun.

which has stood the wear of two centuries,
and is one Of those few excellent things
under the sun which improves by age.
The Society Of Friends lose a power
ful aid BY banishing music from religious
Worship, and it must be more difficult,
and requires more moral energys and
more exertioD, and perhaps more divine
favor to keep such a society together
than any other. There is point in the
remark ascribed to Swift, that he 'saw no
reason why the devil should have all the
good music"
The Methodists have a wonderful at
Traction in their music, and perhaps dc
more good in the world than almost any
other religious society. They are al
least the "pioneers of every other reli'
gion," and in the great labor Of love
''beaf the heat and burthen Of the day.
No one has attended their chapels but
has devotional feeling, excited by THEN
music.
"And dear the simple melody,
Sung with the pomp ofrustfc art,
That holy, heavenly harmony,
The music Of a thankful heart"
How beautiful are those passages o
scripture which allude to this part o
worship, and indeed seems to enjoin it.
