that no matter how orthodox the creed
of a denomination, and how staunch and
.scriptural the preaching Of its pastor, the
introduction of this particular machine,
and its cheap limitations, always marks a
neao drift in that general body. 1t may
be that some discreet pastors and congre-
cations keep it in bounds. But generally
it is not kept in bounds. Because the
organ has come, then the "vain, inexpli-
cable dumb shows" of instrumental over
lures and interludes must come next
and then profane and inappropriate ope-
ratio airs; and then congregational sing
ing must be killed off, because it spoils
the artistic effect; and then there must
be chants, and more musical service; and
then floral decorations; and so, the sure
beginnings of ritualism. 1t is because
this species of music IS part Of a system,
and that system, when fully grown, is
Popery. This is precisely the road down
which the Church travelled before, from
apostolic Christianity to popery. What
right have we to start down the same
road, and claim that we are not going
towards the bottom? "That which hath
been is that which be-" Of all the symp-
toms of danger ahead, the most ominous
is the self-suficiency which rejects the
sober warnings of past history.

Feed MY Lambs.

In the last recorded conversation of
our Lord with Peter, latter that He was
risen from the dead" He responds to the
thrice uttered declaration of that dis
clple's love for Him, with the Injunction,
Feed my lambs, Feed my sheep"
First of all, the lambs are in His heart.
This tender regard for them is beauti
fully set forth by the prophet Isaiah in
the words, "He shall gather the lambs
IN His arms, and carry them in His
bosom" And in the sweet words of
Doddridge.
See Israels gentle Shepherd stand
With soft engaging charms;
Hank, how He calls the tender lambs
And folds them in His armsr' {.
May not these words, Feed my
lambs" SO pointedly enioined upon
Peter, with equal earnestness be add
dressed to those pastors and teachers,
who, while needing the command, Feed
my sheep, seemingly forget their duty
the lambs?
All Christian parents love to take
their children to the house of God, and
their hearts desire and prayer is, that
these little ones from early childhood,
may, like the Psalmist, say, 81 was glad
when they said unto me, Let us go into
the house of the Lord"
But while many children cheerfully
accompany their parents to the sanctuary,
a glance at them while there, will too
often show that it is not an interest in
the services of the hour that is the at
traction. For how seldom are they made
to feel that they have any part in these
services. The sermons of the pastor,
however excellent they may be, are
either entirely beyond their comprehen-
sion, or they contain nothing to attract
and compel their attention, and they sit
listless, or restless, till the close.
How easy it would be for pastor in
almost every sermon that he breaches for
the edifcation of their elders to turn
now and then to the children, and i'm
press some truth upon them, in clear and
simple language adapted to their under
standings.
While special sermons to the young
are to be commended, and would that
they were more frequentl might there
not be in each Lords day services, some
thing for the lambs of the flock to feed
upon? That SO they might feel that the
sermon was for them as we'll as for their
parents; and some precious seeds thus
dropped from time to time into these
little hearts, would take root, and
watered by the dews of the Spirit, bear
fruit unto life eternal. A. L. M.

Recipe for Happiness |

Can this be found? Lives there the
man who can truly answer this interrog-
atory In order to right understand
ing of this state, we must seek first to
know what happiness is. If we seek the
definition of the photographer this tells
us, that it is the state in which our de-
sires are satisfied. Is this state attaina-
BILE in this life? Some writer, whom I
have read but whom do not remember,
tells us that happiness is not the right
thing to seek that man has nothing to
do with happiness but with the discharge
of the thing given him to do, and SO hap
piness results. This is plausible and
pleasant, and in part true. The Illus
trious Lee made duty the rule of life.
Though dead he lives, and his truly
great life and yet more glorious death
will make a page in the history of this
Nineteenth Century unsurpassed by apv
life or any death which shall mark it's
annals. He lived and died a Christian,
which, in the mind of this writer, is the
highest and noblest epitaph that the
tablet of time can tell, and nothing short
of eternity can voice its import in the
height and depth of its fitness.
That happiness can be approximated
there can be little doubt. That the state
in which our desires are fully satisfied is
attainable in this life l not only question
but deny. | had friend-he was an
honorable man, as the world has it, O.

a sincere friend, liberal, charitable; he
had made all the money he wanted he
had retired from business and freely ex-
pressed himself as having all the fortune
that he cared to have. 1t might be and
doubtless would be supposed by the ma
Jority of men that the great goal of life
had been reached. This, however was
not true. In this case, the trouble was
lest what he had, in the great wbirl Of
life, might be wrecked. So it is, the thorn.
which shoots beneath the bud survives
the rose when full blown, and when its
leaves are scattered by the breath of
winter, stands woody monument to mark
the flowers brief existence.
The great Apostle to the Gentiles ex-
presses himself as " in straight betwixt
two" and if not permitted to him to
have desire fully satisfied, " let it not be
that any be disappointed if he or she
shall find in life's fitful course the LIGHTS
and shadows intermingle as their rays
fit athwart the pathway. Neither let
us be cast down-though the portraiture
of our life be that SO graphically portray
ed by the poet who says,
The path of sorrow and that path alone
Leads to the land where sorrow is unknown"
Friends all, take these words to heart,
" To him that overcometh will 1 give to
eat of the tree of life; :" there and there
only the recipe for happiness is found.

What the Admirably Conducted Pub
lie Schools of our Stete Capital
Have Done for that City--We
Need & Public Sentiment
that VIII Sustain Edu-
cation.

Rev. DR.. Mayo, of Boston, an edu-
Gator of experience, recently deliver
ed a lecture in the hall of the house
of representatives at Nashville. The
American, reporting it, indorses it
without stint. Mr.. Mayo said he was
very grateful to the legislature, which
had SO kindly rendered the use Of
their hall, and he would have much
more appreciated the opportunity to
speak with them face to face. He
did not come to the South with the OBJ
ject of lecturing It's people, but for his
own profit and to realize that poem,
the "Sunny South" So far, he had
met with but little sunshine in the
outer world, but in the hearts of all
he had met he had found sunshine.
He wanted to get acquainted with the
teachers Of the south, than whom no
body of workers in any department
did harder work for less pay.
In his thirty years experience he
had come to the conclusion that there
we're some basal facts underlying the
whole idea of education. The first
was evident to all, that without edu-
cation the great resources of the coun-
try could not be properly developed.
In agriculture for instance, A few
years ago New England wns worked
out by the old muscular system. East
Virginia was almost a desert, from
this same old style of farming, 1t
would take fifty years Of skilled farm
ing to restore it. Agriculture could
never be carried on properly without
the aid of science. Bring science to
bear on the fields of Tennessee and
they would blossom as the rose. The
great need of the agricultural interest
was scientific education. In the
mercantile business this same prepara
tion, education, was needed to pre-
vent over ninety per cent. of the men
who engage in business from being
failures, as WAS now the case.
In politics, too, education must pre-
pare every voter to aot intelligently.
Ignorance in politics meant corrup
ton, dishonesty, communism. There
could be nc safety in any state or ma
ton unless education prevailed. Whaf
guarantee could there be that any
aristocracy, of wealth or intelligence
could keep their place while the grea
turbulent sea of ignorance boiled an,
bubbled underneath? The whole ain
of government was to get the tru
rulers at the head of affairs. Blu
how could this be done while the mas
of ignorant people we've in the hand
