Two objects are to be sought in church
music, religious impression and religious
expression. 1t isa crude notion that no
music is legitimate in church except
that in which the whole congregation
may join. The congregation may be
benefited by listening, as we'll as by
singing. But those who listen 6nd emo
tions stirring within them which II will
do them good to express for themselves;
and therefore the congregation ought to
have an opportunity TO pour out it,
voice in grand choral song. And when
the congregation is called on to sing, the
value of the chOrus ~ leader II felt.
The congregation will sing with chorus
to lead, and led by such force Of steadily.
marching melody. it is quite impossible
that there should be any dragging, or
that the discords should maks them.

At Ottawa, Canada, on the 30th ult., Mrs.
OBrien, wife of Timothy O'Brien, tailor,
herself from the house for few
moments, leaving her two children, Aggie,
a girl five years old, and babe, alone in
the house, when in some manner unknown
the little girls clothing tsok fire from the
stove. The child apparently tried to get out
of doors, irst through a window, finally
through the door and down the stairs to the
sidewalk. BY the time she reached the
pavement her clothing was wholly burned
from her body, and she was literally roasted
alive. Mr.. Montrose, proprietor of the
Clifton hotel, observed some unsigbtly,
smoking object crawling along the walk,
and to his horror discovered it to be human.
He at once threw his overcoat over it, and
called tor assistance. But the flames had
done their work. The little girl fingered in
intense agony for two hours, when friendly
death placed her beyond misery.

dumb animals that he actually seems to
have lost some of the natural feeling for
his own species. At the International

that the society should protect, partly
because "his experience had made him
suspicious of humanity, and he had
found that cats and dogs are honorable

SECOND PARISH CHURCH.

SECOND PARISH CHURCH.
A good audience listened to Rev. Mr.. Gardi-
ner yesterday afternoon. The pastor delivered
very forcible discourse from the text "What
shall do then with this jesus, which is called
Christ''-Matt. xvii, %. Plate tried in every
way to escape the necessity of condemning
Christ, but every expedient failed him, and he
was finally compelled to arrive at some con-
clusion, and at last in sheer desperation he
delivered him over to the Jews to do with him
as they saw fit. So it is with all people, they
are ever having the same question propounded
to them, and many are vainy seeking to escape
from conclusive answer, but for them there
is no escape. Christ is person of such influ-
ence that all must come to some conclusion
regarding him. Men talk of Plato, Aristotle,
and many other ancient philosophers, but what
are they? their works lie unnoticed on our
library shelves. What have they done for us?
What hath Christ done for us? or who hath
such love for us as He, that He willingly gave
up His life for us that we might live Think
OF the burdens he has borne, the griefs he has
assuaged; and then can you call Him only q
good man? Millions of good men have lived
and died before and since Christ was on earth,
but are they remembered as He is? We may
think lightly of Christ and His works, may
pride ourselves upon our principles of morality,
may imagine we are to be saved because some
church member who is not up to our idea of
Christianity is to be. But this reasoning avails
not; the question is personal one to all
What will you do with Jesus? He is bending
in infinite tenderness and wishes to save you.
You cannot escape Him or close your eyes to
His presence. Will you reject or receive Him?
