ibe admitted into our columns at this time. We
ihave avoided every allusiou to private character
thus far, and have resolved not to be the first to
cast stones of this description. We are willing
TO trust our fate, party, upon the correctness
sof our principles. We are satisfied that certain
persons will thank us for this decision, and
will shape their course accordingly.

se- Speaking of modern choir singing, tn
editor of the Toledo BIade says:-

editor of the Toledo BIadc says:-
Preaching is not worship. 1t is associated
with worship and is designed to aid us By pro-
per instruction in this and other duties; but 1t
is not an act of worship. Praying is aa act of
worship; and singing is, or should be, IN act Of
worship. But when it is performed it is neither
worship in its self nor is it very apt to inspire
worship in Others.
These are our sentiments exactly. We have
often been astonished at seeing church choirs
composed of profane, vulgar, intemperate per-
sons who not only made no pretensions to chris
tinnity, but actually ridiculed the idea of any
person being religious. 1t has always appeared
TO us just as reasonable for church to employ
a swearing or drunken man to preach and pray
as to get such characters to do their singing for
them. We have no obi sction to these persons
singing, but we don't think it looks WELL or
that it is becoming, to have them do the singing
for an entire congregation,

Honor THE GooD-The true basis of dstinc

it is not in the circumstances Of life, but in the
conduct

there be defects in his behavior he is not entitled
TO that considerationund respect due to onc who
is his superior in IL moral point OF view, though he
possesses neither riches nor honor
1t is not that which gives rs place, but conduct
which makes the solid distinction. We should
think no man above us but for his vices Enter
tanning this view we would seek to emulate the
good, though it be found under a coarse exterior,
aud pity the evil, though it be clothed in
the finest garb and dwell in luxury. We should
never become obseVous IN the wrong place
