singing. :. Then burned the sacred
flame of devotion in my soul, and gush-
ing tears flowed from my eyes as we'll
they might"
Ambrose of Milan (latter half of the
4th century, was the first to introduce
highly artistic and responsive style of
sacred music into the church worship,
which was strongly condemned by his
contemporaries, Chrysostom and Jerome.
1t was not left to modern times to dis
cover that the songs of people are more
potent than their laws. The hereto Bar
desanes, in the End century, diffused the
errors of Gnosticism in his Syriac hymns,
as did the celebrated Arius two centu-
rles later with regard to his own heretical
opinions. Chrysostom composed hymn
specially to counterfeit the hymns of
Arius, and Augustine did the same thing
In order to check the Donatist heresy.
1t is said that in the great religious re-
vival of the 18th century, the hymn book
of John Wesley was as potent as his SER
mons, and it was to this spiritual senti-
ment that we owe the noble hymns of
Charles Wesley-the finest perhaps in
the language, e Jesus, lover of my soul, E"
" Lo on narrow neck of land, " Oh,
love divine, how sweet art thou, and
se0en thousand others. "Glory to God,
whose sovereign grace, was written by
Charles Wesley for the Kingswood col
hers, so wonderfully converted under the
preaching of the Wesleys and White6eld.
In our day we find the deepest religious
sentiment breaking out in the same way.
The united voices of his vast congregation
are said to be the most effective part of

SINGING.

If ART could have saved people, the
Greeks ought to have been the most re-
ligious people that ever lived on the face
of the earth. If Art could have brought
religious reform, Imperial Rome, when it
became the centre of all that the archi-
tects and artists of the first centuries of
the Christian era could produce, ought to
nave found its way to the true worship
of God. If Art could have impaired to
Religion the true sentiment of devotion,
the period of Alexander VI and Leo X
in Italy, when Leonardo da Vinci, and
Raphael, and Correggio and Michael An
gelo, and Giorgione, and Titan were
adjoining the churches of Rome and Flor
ence and Venice with their immortal
works, ought to have been the brightest
page in the history of Christianity. If
Art can inspire true repentance and faith
and love, PAPAI ROME ought to shine in
the annals of Religion like the sun at
monday. 1t has been precisely the
reverse.
Neither beautiful pictures nor fine
music constitute church. At the period
of the Reformation, these things were
more or less repudated Gin Germany al
most entirely SOY, as an element of reli-
gious worship. When the heart Of
Europe began to glow with the revival
of true religious sentiment under the
preaching of Luther and the Reformers,
then it was that CONGREGATIONAL SING
ING became one Of the principal features
and main adjuncts Of the awakened
Church Roger Ascham, writing from
Augsburg in 1851, says "Three or four
thousand at a time singing in a church
in this city is no triAe. Psalms and
hymns says Bishop Burnet, were sung
by all who loved the Reformation it was
a sign by which mems affections to il
were measured, whether they used tC
sing them or not.
This was the method of singing in the
early Church. and is referred to by such
ancient fathers as Chrysostom, Hilary
and Augustine, the last of whom gives an
account Of the power Of this music ovei
him on the occasion Of his baptism. ooh
how freely was l made to weep by these
hymns and spiritual songs transported

WILL 1T not be grand thing when
france is a Protestant country She is
obviously moving away from Rome. This
does not mean that France all at once is
going to become religious; but it means
that the French people can now be rea-
soned with and talked to, and that the
Bible can be circulated there. The Pro-
testant element is daily strengthening
there. May God bless the land of Colig-
ny and Calvin, Pascal and Fenelon, and

NJ Cretin writes from La Fere, Deem
Der I'd, 1879
When we compare our present with tbs
past now great is the change Forty years ago
sought through La Fere to see if there were
any frotestants, and L found one living with his

tant the disgrace was so great. God has opened
the door for us, Now the mayor of La Fere has
offered me the theatre that a conference might
be held in it. 1 praise God for this great
change. The theatre, which has four hundred
and fifty paying seats, was full I have been
told there were five or six hundred persons pre-
sent The orator placed in the clearest light the
errors OF the papacy, and the impossibility of
adopting them to modern society. The greatest
applause was given again and again"

expect world with light, and sound, and
air, and groves, and skies. The one is
adjusted to the other, and they mutually
imply one another.
Ascending in the scale, and not pausing
to consider the lower mammalian forms,
we come to MAN. He walks erect; he
has hands; he has language; he can
think he is self-conscious; he is awed
by sense of right and wrong. He is,
altogether, splendid creature, and along
with an eye to see, and a ear to receive
the notes of music, and the sounds of hui
man language, and hand with which to
construct and handle tools, and heart
full of strong emotions to fit him for So
cial intercourse, and mind to compare
and reason out long trains of thought,
and sense of beauty, and undying af-
fections. and the sentiment of duty, he
has, what we referred to at the beginning
of our article, spirit that longs for i'm.
mortality, and which nothing less than
Immortality can fill. The soul of man
finds its element in the Infinite just as
the eagle lives in the depths of ether, and
moves with exultant wing under the
broad canopy of heaven The indestruc-
tible yearning for Immortality, the indie
structible faith in Immortality, the adap-
tation of the faculties of the soul to a
much larger sphere than the present
world, imply with as much assurance the
continued existence of the soul beyond
three score years and ten as the adjust
ments of the human ear imply the exist
ence of music, or the enjoyment of color
implies the existence of light, or the con
trivance of the lungs implies an environ
ing atmosphere.
We cannot believe that the human
spirit, with its splendid equipment of fac
ulties, was intended to be imprisoned in
a petty cycle of thirty years, any more
than we can believe that it was intended
that being like Casper Hauser was de-
signed by his Maker to find his sphere of
activity in the walls of dungeon.
AS certain organs imply the existence
of light as certain organs imply the re-
ality of music; as certain organs imply the
existence of the oceans; as certain organs
imply the existence of the dry land as GER
tain organs imply the existence of the
atmosphere; so the invisible organs and
apprehensions of the soul imply that
it was intended for some theatre where
the actors never leave the stage, and upon
whose scenes the curtain never falls as at
the close of a play when the lights are
put out and the creations of the poet van
ish forever as a tale that is told.

dress at the Centenary church in this
city on Sunday morning, the object of
which was to make an appeal for oontri-

owed by Randolph Macon College. He
had previously collected $4,000, and the
congregation at the Centenary church
contributed nearly $1,000. He hopes to
get the balance at the Baltimore Confer

that one gentleman in the North gave
him $4,000 cash.

IL ABOUT TO TRAVEL OR ENIGRATE.---
The voyager cannot be provided with
safer remedy and protective medicine than
Hostetter's Bltters. Abundant testimony
exist to prove that it nullihes hurtful eli
matte influences and the effects ofexposure,
that it reconciles the stomach to unaccus-
toned food and prevents injurious results
from impure water. Mariners, tourists,
emigrants amp miners have all contributed
their quota Of testimony in Its behalf, and
its protective influence has been most ef-
fectually demonstrated in regions and IN
del conditions where, if not really effective,
that fact would long since have been ex-
posed In no class of disorders have its
remedial and preventive properties been
more conspicuously shown than in cases of
malarial fevers, maladies for which it is the
most popular specific in existence, both
here and in the tropics, where its reputa-
ton is scarcely second to that which it en-
joys on this continent. 1t is, moreover, q
most agreeable appetizer and nervine.
