SONGS IN THE NIGHT.

Songs of praise are not to be intermitted or
silenced by seasons Of great affiiction. The
disciples and their Lord are on the verge
of their great separation; yet they cause the
voice of their praise to be heard. The further
lesson is not to be mistaken; that when our
religious feelings partake of sorrow and fear
and compunction, we are not the less to utter
them in spiritual song. 1t is often the way to
the sweetest solace. And this is very remark
ably evinced by the experience of David.
I take it for granted that his compositions are
so many leaves from this experience, and that
he sang the Psalms, which he afterward wrote
down for US. l further suppose that, under
divine inspiration, his mind passed through
changes Of mood and temper, varied and
modified by the reflex operation of his own
voice and instrument. Those who think this
remark derogates aught from the directness
of inspiration, can scarcely have considered
the case of the ancient prophets; in which the
illapses of divine influence seem not only to
have allowed, but demanded, the vehicle of
music. So it was by Samuel to Saul: "Thou
shalt meet a company Of prophets with
psaltery and tabret and pipe and
a harp before them; and they shall prophe-
sy." l Sam. x. 5. And when Elisha was
about to receive the divine influence and
work great miracle, he called for music,
saying, "Now bring me minstrel; and it
came to pass when the minstrel played, that
the hand of the Lord came upon him" z
Kings iii. Is. Thus, too, while David was
musing, the fire burned and while he was
singing, his soul passed through new frames,
and often emerged from depths Of horror into
lofty thanksgiving.
He begins a Psalm, "Lcrd, how are they
increased that trouble me-" He ends it, "Sal-
vation belongeth unto the Lord thy blessing
is upon thy people" He begins: 20 Lord,
rebuke me not in thine anger" He ends i:
"The Lord hath heard the voice of my weep
ing" He begins: "How long wilt thou for.
pet me, O Lord for ever?" He ends: 81
will sing unto the Lord, because he hath
dealt bountifully with me-" He begins:
"Deliver me from mine enemies" He ends:
"Unto thee, o my strength, will sing ::
for God is my defence, and the God ofmercy."
He begins: "Out of the depths have cried
unto thee, o Lord" And he ends: "Let
Israel hope in the Lord, for with the Lord
there is mercy, and plenteous redemption"
These were so many transitions of feeling
effected during holy song and these songs are
recorded for us, that in the use of them we
may have solace, and in like manner pass
from grief to exultation. Be assured, there
are uses of sacred music and uses Of the
Psalms, in regard to inward experience, which
many of YOU have vet to learn.

THE PROPHET ISAIAH.

Very little is known of the personal history
of this great prophet He began to prophesy
in the reign of Uzziah, and came prominently
forward during the reigns of Ahaz and Heze.
kiah. Tradition represents him as member
of the royal family, and as father-in law of
king Manasseh, by whom it is said he was
sawn asunder. The book Of his prophecy
consists of two parts: the first embracing the
first thirty-nine chapters, the second the last
twenty.seven. The first consists of variety
of writings, reproving the sins of the Jewish
nation; foretelling the destruction Of neigh.
boring nations, Assyria, Babylon, Moab, Phil
istia, Syria, Edom and Tyre; giving an &C
count of Sennacherib's invasion and the des-
truction of his army, and of the illness and
recovery Of Hezekiah with many allusons
to the coming of the Messiah, the conversion
of the Jews under the gospel, and the destruc-
tion of the enemies of the church. The pre-.
dictions of the second part of Isaiah relate
to more distant events. "The subjects fore
told are, the deliverance of the Jews by Cyrus,
about two hundred years before his birth, and
the overthrow of their oppressors; the return
to Judea and the establishment of their an
CleuC pOllIy Glo Coluti5, Sh"i ieSIo', oonSi 49,
and glory of the Messiah; the downfall Of
idolatry and the call of the Gentle world the
wickedness of the Jews consummated in their
rejection of the Messiah, and the rejection OF
them by God; their future conversion, and
the triumphant perfection of the Church" :"
Isaiah appears to have occupied a leading
place, under Hezekiab, in the councils of the
nation. tits far from unlikely that Hezekiah
owed to the instrumentality Of this tervent
prophet the strong religious convictions by
which he was characterized and it is all but
certain that Isaiah was his counselor in the
reformation which he effected. Amid the
desolation of the kingdom Of Israel and the
judgments foretold on Judah, the visions of
future glory presented in the writings of this
prophet must have cheered many sinking
heart. Many an earnest spirit must have been
arrested by the visws presented ofthe humili-
alton and suferings, as we'll as the glory OF the
Messiah but not a few must HAYS telt, like the
eunuch in the days of the apostles, that such q
passage as his SD chapter wasnot to be under
stood without some one to guide them.

MORALITY.

So great is the similarity between religion
and morality, that one is often mistaken for
the other. Notwithstanding the apparent re-
semblance, there is no real likeness. The
base upon which morality is built, is very diff
ferent from that upon which religion rests.
In every respect, religion is thing totally
different from morality. So different are they
that it is possible for an individual to be NOR
al and yet irreligious,
Morality, however good and excellent as
far as it goes, stops far short of true religion.
The former is the result of education; the lat
ter is the work of Gods Holy Spirit. The
standard of morality is the laws of the land,
and the social regulations Of communities.
Such being the case, morality is constantly
changing. The motive which prompts to
life Of morality, is very different from that
which incites an individual to live religious
life. The motives of the moralist may, in
appearance, be many; but when closely ex-
amined, it will be found that sel6shness, or
rather the love of self, is the only motive.
God is not in any of his thoughts.
The standard of true religion is law, but it
is Gods law. At this point the moral man
and the religious man begin to separate, and
the divergence continues to increase. The
love of God, as the maker and preserver of
all things, and especially as the Saviour of
sinners, is the motive which reigns in the
breast of the religious man prompting all his
acts. The moralist obeys and suffers because
it is profitable, and it may be, in the eyes of
men, honorable but the religious man obeys
and suffers because it is the will of God.
The religious man is always moral man,
so far and so long as the rules and regulations
of society do not conflict with the commands
of God. The religious man obeys the laws
of the land of which he is citizen, when
those human enactments are inimical or an
tagonstic to the laws of God. He conforms
to the manners and customs Of the communi-
ty in which he resides, so far as those regula-
tions do not infringe upon his duties to God.
Morality is far better than immortality ;
but it is not to be compared with true relig-
ion. The most that the former can effect is
good citizenship, and secure the consciousness
of having done right in our own eyes and in
the eyes of our fellow men. True religion
secures all this and far more. 1t secures the
appreciation of our own consciences, enlight-
ened by Gods word, and the appreciation of
God. Morality may put us on good terms
and in correspondence with our fellow men.
Religion fits us for subscribing the purposes of
good citizens in this world and puts US in cor.
respondence with heaven. 1t makes US good
and fits US for doing good both for time and
eternity, for ourselves and for our fellow men,

If one cannot talk, he can listen or ask ques-

Good listeners are as necessary as good talk

all. Sometimes single anecdote from a
paper starts a conversation that lasts du-

be bright and cheerful, sort of domestic al

great or small, of pleasantness and peace
where, for at least brief space in the day,
all annoyances are laid aside, all stormy tenn

A RECKLESS Nashville nurse girl was
recently drawing babe along Alfred street

he continued, feeling in his pocket. "Here is
twenty-five cents, young miss. l used to pay
half a dollar for kissing 'em, but babies are

him to wipe bis mouth, and he gave the child
a smack which sounded like dish-pan start

around the corner as he Strengthened up and
in response to the sharp look she gave him,
the old man explained:
"Been kissing the baby-sweet's honey
