Alexander III of Russia seems to have
returned to the traditions of his ancestors.
When he first assumed the septre he made
promises as to things he would do, which,
if he had carried out, would have gone q
long ways toward giving internal peace to
Russia. He laid out liberal programme
and said it was to be his future course.
But that was the last of it; the measures
prepared by his father. for the relief. OF
peasants were shelved, and his proposal to
give the people sharein the government,
has been converted into an elaborate plan fo1
inforcing yet more despotic government,
and placing military rule still higher above
civil. As consequence he has shut him
self up in a military camp and lives in con-
slant fear. of assassination; seeing a nihihst
in every companion, and imagining danger
in every tri1e, He is really worse than
his father, and is in greater danger. His
father helped the Serfs, and could count
on their gratitude; but the peasants have
already been tempered with by the nihilists,
and the Gear soon viii have no friends.

sketch of the blessing of protection by
sketching the coal miners life in Pennsyl-

to Pennsylvania mining journals, are starv-

pit decOrum. There as leader he sets an
example, he is to be model in devO-
tiOnal exercises. consequently his atten.
tiOn should not be distracted any more
from music than from prayer by arrang-
ing notices or manuscript,Or by neglected
business with tardy deacOns, for this
calls attention Of the congregation and
the hymn fails of its proper effect.
More particularly, how shall the pas
tor build up congregational singing,
which we consider the great musical
desideratum in worship? We reply, talk
abO 1T it, pray over it, excite an inter
est in it, make it popular. Make the
people feel that the sermon is not all
the worship of the sanctuary, that sing
Ing and prayer are something more than
mere appendages, that they are acts of
real worship, that the Office of the
former In the Lords house is not to
amuse, or please, or entertain, but to
awaken true devotion, and this will be
realized only when all the people sing
and make melody in their hearts unto
the Lord. Then will he peace on earth,
good will to men. Wars and rumOrs of
wars will cease, for the Lord God ON
nipitent shall rule in and reign over
every soul.
We think this can be accomplished by
a chorus choir with quartette to rem
der more difficult music, by selecting
tunes easily learned by the congregation.
by dropping those havinga sOpOrific or
fiatulent and discOrdant tendency, which
may be easily known from experience.
Select rather the emotional than intellec-
tual hymns. for these are the most de-
vOtiOnal, of the nature of prayer
bringing one into the very presence of
God. while the consequent vibrations of
the heart strings lead to purer, nObler,
better life. Silence here breeds indiffer-
ence not alone to the sermon, but to the
entire worship, and hence to Christian
living, for the sermon alone fails to
persuade and captivate against so great
odds.
Recognizing the Importance of music
as chief factor i'm public worship, con-
sciOus, too, that it now occupies an in
feriOr position i'm the services of the
sanctuary through several radical de-
fects, let the churches deem it their
privilege, nay more, their solemn duty,
to cultivate sacred music, and arouse at
once to needed reform. Then the wOr-
ship we offer to Jehovah will inspire
such devotion as will lead to Christian
unity sand aggressive warfare, the
praises of the sanctuary will ascend to
the throne like 1.-THE voice of many
waters" and fit Gods people to join the
great choir of the redeemed, and swell
the Joyous strains of Immortality in
that glad new song sung by them whose
number is ten thousand times ten
n
saying Blessing. and honor, and glory,
and power, be unto Him that stitch upon
the throne, and unto the Lamb forever
and over"
