Church Singing.

Bishop Mcllvaine, who is travelling In Eng
land, has written to the Western EpiscoPdlidn,
very strongly worded letter concerning the con-
gregational singing found in the parish churches
of Enlgand. He says:
They have congregational singing in It's
fulnoss. The people, all over the church, take
just as full part in the singing as in the re-
sponsea The effect is most delightful If there
is anything like choir in the parish churchus
where l have attended, it was 80 mixed up in its
voices with the voice of the whole congregation,
that it was not percePtible as a separate ingre-
dent. The organ was used, as it should be, not
to draw attention to itself, but so to support and
guide the singing of the people, that, like
faithful preacher standing behind his subject, IL
should be unobseryed in its effect. TO enable
the people thus to sing, simple familiar tunes,
currently used, are chosen. There is no look
ing after novelty, or mere musical entertainment.
How inspiring the result! What an immense
difference between the animation and sympathy,
the feeling of real social Worship the conscious
ness of an actual union OF thousand people in
praising God, and the coolness, and dryness, and
Stiffness, and isolation, and the feelings of un-
reality and emptiness, as a matter of worship, in
a congregation standing up for some ten minutes
to hear few singers, perched in distant gal
leTy, execute, by aid Of an organ, some pieces OF
music, selected, not to encourage the people to
sing, but often with view to keep all the sing
ing to the choir The only wonder is that
any people can tolerate the latter, and call it
public gorship."

persist in stubborn disohedience to the eternal
rules OF justice Of which we have many sirik
ing examples in sacred writ. Let us therefore,
advert to the true criterion. Let us place our
selves in their stead. Let us anticipate the
various kinds Of misery, hardship and distress
which this people daily groan under and there
is no doubt but we should be enabled speedily
to find aud apply the remedy. And it is equally
clear, that if we were united in endeavoring to
abolish this enormous source of human misery,
that the means would be quickly discovered for
its accomplishment.
The practice of reducing our fellow men to &
state OF affect slavery; is so repuguant to the
the principles of the christian religion. that we
are surprised when we see men enjoying all the
blessings of a republican goyernment-men who
have been justly renowned for their love of
liberty-Who have been instrumental in rearing
temple to FREEDOM, whose basis cover an ex-
tensiye continent, aad who e summit reaches
the clouds--meu who in other respects appear
to wear the garb of justice, exercise this unjust
and impolitic, practice, in direct opposition to
reputlicanism, and the whole tenor of the gospel
Finally, we cordially request our fellow citizens,
and particularly ministers of the gOsgel of every
denomination, and members of the legislatures,
to espose the cause of humanity-to make every
exertion consistent with the dignity of your
profession and station, to promote the glorious
work Of undoing the heavy burdens, and letting
the oppressed 60 free.

I Love Thee more than when Boy my
Mother.
BY lsAAc o. nkEp. In

love thee more than when boy, my mother
For then knew not what thy love was worth :
But now, oil now, could recall thee, mother,
'Twould make a tender Paradise of earth.
Oh. would my weary head were on thy bosom,
And that thy arms were round me as Of yore,
And that thy lips were pressed TO mine, dear
mother,
And that thou vert my tutor as before
love thee more thtn when boy, dear mother I;
Amidst my tumults and amidst my cares
NV memory hears strain Of loving music
The tender music Of mothers prayers.
Amid the strife 'twixt Principles and Purses,
Amid the wars they wage on one another
Upon the worlds broad battle field of Mammon,
stand and think upon thy grave, dear mother.
love thee more than when n boy, dear mother /;
know thourt blessed in the blessed skies;
But could'st thou only leave the Heavens
moment,
Aud let me gaze once more into thine eyes.
l know thou formest one amongst that number,
Who, with their shining feet, tread happy
and;"
Oh couldst thou for a while forsake the angels
And clasp me, mid my longings, by the hand.
love thee more than when boy, my mother;
| thought missed thee when saw thee lying
Sweet 10 thy coffin with thy lips a smiling,
As only Gods own dead can smile in dying.
6ut since left thee sleeping in the church yard
Aye, since I've wandered from the eotins
side
I've learned, alas that children miss mother
Years after death n,'rn ,haN 'hc iay sc died
love thee more than when boy, oh. mother
know that thou oan'st never come to me
But bitter partings have their blessed meetings,
And may some time shortly come to thee;
Soon. soon amongst the flowers of Heav'n III
meet thee,
ROBBED in Gods light and radiant with Gods
joy;
And on thy shining neck shall fall exclaiming
"oh, motherl mother welcome back your

In the songs of spring birds,
Poets often hear words
Distinct and well ordered
And heard such Il lay,
As trod tother day,
A path by groves bordered
Old Tasso rehearses
A birds tuneful verses,
In Armida's retreat;
But its song, you'll confess,
Had of good sense much lees
Than the one I'll repent
This songster, sweet-thrOated,
Sung have you not noted
How the earth's newly dressed
In q suit fresh and neat,
OF bright green, made complete
BY fower.sprigged gesil"
~Oh man, let your reason
Bid you dress for the season'
But be not arrayed
In clothes which, like grass
To their end will soon pass
But in garments we'll made"
