Hannah the mother afterwards OF SsmneD for

her. There was and there is, said the Doctor, an
erroneous notion that in Judaism the woman was
to occupy ON inferior position to that of
man; that in the fulnlment Of the sacred
duties Of Judaism the woman was to be
placed IN the background, while the man was
to read the Torah and perform the other functions

other false notions, woman was to be kept, a. Il

are, OF course, utterly absurd. Judaism could BY

Pliny, the elder, died an old man In the year 20.
At the time OF the death OF Christ he must have
been thirty years OF age. In his treatise upon
astronomy he makes no allusion to that re-
markable phenomenon, total darkness from the
sixth to the ninth hour which, believe, is to be
found only in the New Testament. Yet he makes
particular mention OF a partial eclipse, which

Congregational Singing.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
MONDAY, June 2, 1878.
Noticing in your issue OF yesterday an article on
congregational Singing" have made bold to
speak a few words In it's favor. I am young
man "a Christian hope, and worker for the
cause OF the Master, and the subject has always
troubled me.
What right have a choir Of two, four or twenty to

was the Church OF God instituted for that purposes
God forbid singing is the most effective way OF CIV
ing utterance to the emotions OF the heart and when
DO we find true Christians and not find earnest
praises to GOd2 To sing and praise God properly
we must feel what We are singing; and the brazen-
faced men and women who compose some OF our
city chOlrs, who sing in the theatre and perhaps
worse places during the week, have they the right
by the Word OF God to express our feeingss tell
you no.. There Is altogether too much lax Chris
tianity in our land, and what we want is earnest,
downright hard work no Sunday Christianity to be
he lett of during the week. We want men and women
who really serve the God they profess to love- and
fear no evil because God is with them, who go
into the byways the lanes ma the fOrsaken parts
OF our great city, and bring into the fold OF Christ
the poor and the destitute: those that our satin
slippered Christians would hardly deign to notice,
but would pass by unheeded. When we have such
Christians gathered in the house OF God for His
worship and praise, and after hearing the Scrip
lures expOunded by an earnest man OF GOD,
they break forth in Joyful songs OF praise
to the God who made and who keeps them.
Then, and not till then, will we nave singing and
praises which will delight the ear OF God Almighty
and will bring down showers Of blessings, like the
beautiful buds and blossoms that peep out alter the
May shower and we will not go away with the
feeling OF having heard "a delightful feast OF Sun
day music but with more earnest desires for the
Holy SPIRITS presence to guide us in the future,
and we viii feel better able 10 Withstand the many

NETTIRES.


To commence la Wilkic Collins
The time was morning the scene, Miss
Nettire's bed-chamber the personages.
Miss Nettire and an angel, on whom she
had just opened her eyes.
Miss Nettire was II person who regu-
lated herselft by certain infallible rules.
She never deviated from them by the
breadth of hair You at once perceive
she could have had no faults. Her
neighbors did deviate from these rules
worse yet sometimes wholly denied their
efficacy. Being fanltless herself, Miss
Nettire had all the more time to devote
to her neighbors, and, as right minded
woman, was in constant concern about
them.
Therefore when, IL. have just said,
she beheld an angel, who demanded of
her the names of the most grievous
sinners who had offended her, she might
have been startled, but she was not
amazed beyond measure. She had
feeling that it was very much what
might have been expected OF Heaven,
and that the angels selection of a guide
was not amiss. She answered the ques-
tion with full degree Of composure,
and then vast complacency expanded
within her. Now it would be seen,
with the sanction OF Heaven upon her,
who was right-she, or the people who
sneeringly declared that, if she were
saint, they preferred to remain among
the sinners. How would they do now?
Would they shrek, or swoon, or fall on
their knees and call on her tor protec-
ton?
