as their own. There is no sort of neces-
sity for it, and if there is no necessity
for it then it is wrong. We agree
with the last Caledonian, which in an
editorial on the subject of 'Sunday
Trains" believes that it is contrary to
the public moral sentiment of Vermont
to run excursion trains on the Sabbath.
However individuals may regard it, the
mass of Christian people consider it a
dissertation of the Lords day, and cor
porations and organizations should I'M
derstand that in doing this they violate
the feelings of large portion of the
community and it calls upon the pull
pit, the press, and individuals, to speak
out boldly against such open and fla
grant violations of the Divine command.
Sunday trains are getting to be quite
too common with us. How can the
Christian church find fault with the free
and easy Germans of the West for all
turning out to patronize their public
beer gardens on Sunday and making it
gala day for excursions and sanger
tests, when we break the solemn still
ness of the Sabbath by the scream OF
the locomotive whistle and clang of the
engine bell? The Germans are intidels
we are Christians. Who is the most
consistent of the two ?--MOrrisUiIie Cit

Helps to Good Singing.

[From the London Christian Mission Magazine]
*We must have good time,-that
is, the tunes must be sung at proper
speed Now there are two extremes,
either drawl or gable. Avoid both.
1t is difficult to give any instruction
that will be understood on this topic.
| may, however, say that very frequent
ly the lively tunes are sung too quick
ly, and the ordinary tunes too slowly.
As rule let your singing be spirited.
We really don't want any very slow
and solemn tunes, unless we are called
to bury unconverted people, which
presume is not very frequently the case
for when we bury saints, the right kind
of saints, we want the liveliest tunes in
the book.
Still, again, it should not be so quick
as to make it difficult for our audiences
large or small, to keep up with it, and
to grasp the words and ideas we are
singing. 1t is great mistake to sing
as quick time in a large congregation,
or in the streets, as in u small audience
or at an indoor service. You must not
sing so quickly as to render it impossi-
BILE for the people to accompany you.
Go ahead, but give every one a chance
of joining you. have heard some OF
our people sing when it seemed like q
race as to who shall he first ut the be-
ginning of the next line. This not only
destroys all melody, and harmony, hui
defeats the end of all singing, which is
that not only the mind but the heart
shall keep pace with the music.

DR.. Crosby on eroggeries.

Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby of New
York, takes hold of the temperance
question about as practically and sensi-
bly, as anybody We know of. He goes
in for shutting up the groggeries, pure
and simple, first. He has reference, of
course, to the 5000 groggeries of New
York, but his principle is equally cor
rect as applied to other places. He
says very forcibly "No religious, moral
or political theory is involved in the
matter. 1t is work of decency, order
and common sense. The present laws
are sufficient to do the work. Forbid
the legislature to weaken them. Hotels
are necessary. Groggeries have no ex-
cuse to live. If hotels may have some
evils connected with their bars, those
evils are as nothing compared to the
evils of the groggeries. Hotels have a
reputation to protect. Groggeries have
no reputation to lose. The hotel is as
different from the groggery as private
dwelling house is from brothel." He
is confident the united action of good
citizens would soon close the saloons,
which cause so large proportion OF
the pauperism and crime, and counsels
the assistance of all where efforts are
being made by respectable citizens to-
wards the ends designated.

Can It be a Delusion 2

it is a blessed delusion indeed; and he
who attempts to destroy it, is an enemy
to mankind. 1t is a delusiOn which

walk humbly before God delusion
which teaches us to love our Maker
supremacy, and our neighbOr as our
selves; which bids us love, forgive, and
pray for our enemies, render good for
evil, and promote the glory of God, and
the happiness of our fellow creatures !;
which, wherever it is received, produces
a humble, meek, charitable and peace
full temper, and which, did it universal
ly prevail, would Danish wars, vice, and
misery from the world. 1t is delusiOn
which not only supports and comforts
its believers in their wearisome progress
through this vale of tears, but attends
them in death, When all other cOnsOla-
tons fail, and enables them to triumph
over sorrows, sickness, and the grave
If delusion can do this, in deusion let
me live and die; for what could the
most blessed reality do more ?-Payson.
~ If we should err in supposing the
Christian religion to be true, we can be
no great losers by the mistake. But
how dreadful must it be to err in sup
posing it false Pascal.
