Toning Down our Lives.

Is there word in all the dietion-
ary more full of meaning than the
word "harmony?"
In this world, we hardly know its
full meaning. AT an artists recep-
tion one day, 1 saw a picture of a
mountain sunrise, and l wondered
at its marvellous depths, richness
and splendor of shade and color
till the artist told me how he had
toned down the picture and softened
its coloring into its subdued har-
mony of tint; and l thought how
often our life was growing to lie like
that picture of mountain sunrise.
Gods unseen hand is before the
easel, sketching here and shading
there. The life-picture looks to us
unfinished, fragmentary, and imper-
feet now, but each new joy-light,
each sorrow-shade,is toning it down
through all its gloom and glory into
harmony with Gods great ideal. He
will frame it at last in such a setting
of events as he chooses,and we will
find in the gallery above, that the
light has been in the right place, and
the shadow, too.
We might never see the beautiful
surise gliding the hills of our eter-
nal futu e, we're it not for the crook
ed winding path and misty streaks
along the valley Of tears up through
which we have to climb, as hue after
hue brighter cleaned through the
very dusky ground Of sorrow. Our
life's picture looks often to dark, its
troubles too glaring, its griefs too
sharp and rough; we fear it will nev-
er be finished right, but behind all,
is mastethand touching it cum
ningly and toning it down into ce-
lestial harmony.
Each sssorl left fully in the hands
of the divine Artist, win open into
everlasting unfolding glory; so,
while we wait, let his beautiful will
be done, and
"our better spirit never must grow
weary,
But always think of better and fulfill
it."

A Wonderful Hymn.
can hail the power of Jesus name. ,

All nail the power OF Jesus name"
Edward Perronet, the author OF
the most inspiring and triumphant
hymn in the English language, is a
benefactor whose history is but lit
tie known. Being a man of great
humility of character, he was sus-
tanned amid many vicissitudes of
life by an all-victorious faith.
He was the son of Rev. Vincent
Perronet, an excellent English cler-
gyman of the old school, who was
Vicar of Shoreham for fifty years.
He was bosom friend of Rev. Chas.
Wesley, in whose diary mention of
him may be found, beginning about
the year s1750. Perroret was at
heart an opponent of the union of
Church and State, and at last pro-
duced an anonymous poem entitled
the 'EMitre," keen satire on the na-
tional establishment. This hostil
ity brought him under the displeas-
ure of the Countess, his patroness.
Severing his connection with her So
ciety, he became the pastor of a
small congregation Of Dissenters, to
whom he preached till his death,
which took place in January, 1892.
His death was triumphant, and is
an evidence Of the Sincerity of the
piety which inspired his rapturous
hymn. His majestic faith seemed
to lift his soul above the world and
to antedate that coronation day
when the cherubic hosts and the re-
deemed should
- Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of ALL"
His dying testimony was:
"Glory to God in the height of His di-
vinity!
Glory to God i'm the daeth of His hu-
manity! ,tr1.,.,.
Glory to God in His all-sufficiency!
Unto His hands commend my spirit ~
,Perronet composed a number of
sacred poems and hymns, as expires
sions of his own religious expert
ences and sentiments, without in
tending them for publication. They
were printed by the request of his
friends in 1855, under the title of
Occasional Verses, Moral and Sa-
cred, published for the instruction
and amusement of the Candidly Sc
rious and Religious"
