SERMON ON THE VALUE OF CHURCH MueIc.-The
First Presbyterian congregation last evening
were favored by their pastor, Rev. L. b. Duval,
with an interesting discourse upon church mn-
sic, in which he unfolded its various theories,
showing that 1t was not simply to impress hear
erE, but was the one grand medium Of express
ing a Congregations devotion to God. He ex-
plsined how it fell from this idea which it pos
aessed in Apostolic times, during the middle
ages until using again with the Reformation it
became tide of revvnG power The speaker
looked upon the proper cnltyatcr OF sorg as ne
cessary to the life of church. These thoughts
we're d<awn from the 9th Psalm, 5th ard 9Th
verses -

the people praise thee. Then shall the earth
give her increase aud God, even Our own God.

NATIONAL BANKs.-Tbe New York Times
alludlng to the Convention of Nationa, Bank
officers, recently in session at Saratoga, and
the influence this interest must necessarily OK
ert in the United States, says
These banks are about two thousand-2. Oo4
at the date Of the Controllers last report. OF
officers and directors they have not less than
twenty-five thousand. Ofsharehoders it would
be safe to say that there are million and a half
and probably many more. Besides these, the
depositors and note-hoders are hardly less d-
rectly interested, and of these no estimate can
be formed. On the I'd of last October the de-
posits reached about sS50,000, 600 the notes
exceeded 1888. 100000, the combined amount
being nearly S1,200, 100000 This enormous
interest is distributed in every State, and we
believe in every Territory, of the Union, and
though the wiseacres in Congress have not been
able to make men go into the business of Bank
ing in exact proportion to the census returns
of wealth and population, it is obvious that
the influence of the banks is almost uni
versal.
