ton. The only explanation of the ac-
complishment of this feat is, of couse, in
the authors use of the accumulated re-
suits of the labors of those who have
wrought in this field for centuries. But
it is not case of the dwarf on the shout
ders OF a giant. 1t is rather that of a
giant, who finding some mighty eminence
reared by Cyclopean builders, has built
upon it structure of enduring strength
and surprising grandeur.
Let me conclude by saying that this is

al who love Gods word and'wish to OBJ

dresses God, and God in turn addresses
him.
1t is offensive to all devout taste. A
babel of discordant sounds, grating
Jargon of voices, harm onized in neither
time nor tune, is against the true sense
of decorum.
The desire to make the congregation
more active in the service influences
those who favor the introduction of the
practice. This, the Professor dryly tells
us, is the accepted reason for concert sea-
son In Kindergarten school; the practice
keeps the tired scholar awake and trains
IN reading But it is sad confession by
the church of spiritual weakness and de-
cline, that it resorts to Kindergarten ex-
pedients to keep the spirit OF devotion
awake In its appointed order of worship
and the church is not Sunday School
to train the ignorant in the art of read
ing. If Prof. Day be right in his posi-
ton, it. would be about as rational to
advocate a return to the practice of lin
ing out the hymn, which prevailed in
the days Of ignorance and of few books
as to introduce this practice in the church
services.
The article is the most sweeping and
argumentative arrangement of the re-
sponsive practice that we-have yet SEEN
Its positions are worthy of thoughtful
consideration.

A Thought for the Pews.

That the American evangelical pulpit
conscientiously attains to high average
of excellence, we presume few candid
people will deny. But what are the du-
ties of the pews ? Why do so many go to
church and come away so little refreshed
IN spirit, so little stimulated to greater
conservation, and so little the better for
the hour and half in Gods house? Can
We lay the blame on the minister? If we
wilfully ignore the message and criticise
The messenger, is it not rather our own
fault that the divine rainfall of sweet and
precious blessing passes us by?
: Probabl y in many households the hours
before church are hurried, tumultuous,
md undevout. The family rise late, and
breakfast is tardy. The children are har
assed about shoes, gloves, and lost or
mislaid articles OF dress. The parent
have not fully recovered from the fatigue
Of the business or pleasure on Saturday
night. The first bell peals out its sum
mons before anybody feels ready to hear
It, and the progress to the place of prayer
IS scramble to arrive before the opening
anthem shall have been concluded. DR.
Arnot, OF Scotland used to beg his people
to spend the hour before coming to church
in reading, meditation, and prayer. If it
were the habit of our congregations thus
prepared in heart to go to the sanctuary
how different might be the impressions
made on them by Sermons and public
prayers. Had every disciple made the
pastor, the week long, the subject OF rev.
erent, anxious, earnest prayer, would not
The pastor enter the pulpit clothed upon
with power from on high, and would not
The benediction return with tenfold large
ness on the worshippers themselves?
We would not like to say, lest the
assertion should SAVIOR of the Pharisee' S
dogmatism, that all social engagements
should be cancelled on Saturday even
ngs. And yet we are persuaded that a
concert, the sweet strains of which haunt
us long after midnight, that a gay party
which breaks up on the stroke of twelve,
or that even ledger or work-basket engag-
ing eyes and hands the whole of Satur-
day night, insure mutilated Sabbath
There is little danger Of over strictness
here.
Music is an important part of divine
service. But when the artistic efforts Of
The choir, or the cunning skill of the or.
ganlst divert the mind from thoughts OF
God, the music becomes a snare. The
element Of worldly criticism is hostile to
the quietness of waiting on the Lord.
The pulpit must lead The pews are
not therefore absolved from the duty Of
solemn and sincere selEexamination Let
us ask ourselves WHY we 90 to church,
and why we do not always receive
blessing when we are there? Are we to
blame - hristion InkeLknencer.

The Lords PRAYER.

The Lords Prayer takes up all the
relations in which we stand to God. The
Christian prays as
1. A child from home-"Our Father
which art in heaven"
H. A worshiper-" Hallowed be thy
name.
III. A subject Thy kingdom come.
~. A servant" Thy will be done in
earth, as it is in heaven,
Y. A beggar-" Give us this day our
daily bread"
VI. A sinner" And forgive us our
trespasses, as we forgive them that tres
pass against us.
VII. A sinner amid temptation and
evil" And lead us not into temptation.
but deliver US from evil"
Three reasons are added
l. Do this, Lord, for it will help on thy
kingdom" For thine is the kingdom .
3 Do it, Lord, for thou art able
" For thine is the power"
3. Do it, Lord, for it shall be thy
glory" For thine is the glory, forev, r,
Amen. Bible Echoes.

His Love.

The love of God is deep
So deep, no earth line ever yet hath fathomed
it.
Dip in the chalice Of thine heart, and steep
Thy thirsty soul in that unmeasured stream;
Filledto the brim, thine OVERLOOKING heart
Shall love, and life to all around impart.
The love of God is strong.
So strong that death. the strong, lies van
pushed now
And Love, the victor, stands with crowned
brow;
So strong, that human frailty. human fear,
Cannot undo the soul by God held dear.
The love of God is wise
So wise, it gives not unto us the choice
Of life or death, or even of Joy or pain;
He hides the future from our straining eyes,
And leaves our souls content to realize
He doeth all things WELL"
EVA TRAvERs.

The Liturgy" Criticised.

Just now, when the question of litur-
gies is cup, it may be well to consider
the recent judgment pronounced by the
London Times in an elaborate editorial
upon the Book of Common Prayer:
" No doubt they these prayers, &C., I
were composed by excellent men, sehol-
ars, and good writer's, the best, possibly,
in the nation; but these good men sadly
overdid their work. The services are
wordy, tedious and reiterative. They
make a constant demand on the atten-
ton, frequently with no other result
than to satisfy its literary discernment.
1t must be considered that the Anglican
Prayer Book was compiled and composed
at time when attendance was com
pulsory, and non-attendance was actually
punished. This obligation too, wasein
harmony with the religious feelings Of
the century. The poor, working people
had to attend whether they understood
the prayers or not and no doubt the
knowledge that the prayers must and
would be universally used made the
composers more ambitious to make the
most Of their opportunity. All this is
now changed

SACRED RHEToRIo; OR, A COURSE OF LECTURES
ON PREACHING. Delivered in Union Theolo-
gical Seminary, Prince Edward, Va. By
Robert L. Dabney, D. D. Professor of Sys-
temat and PASTORAL Divinity. Second Ed
ton, revised. Richmond. 1881
The first edition of these Lectures was pub
lished twelve years ago by the Presby terian
Publication Committee. 1t took rank, at once,
as one of the very best treatises on the all-im-
Portant subject of Preaching The author pre-
pared these lectures as a text book for his own
classes. The book is the fruit of many years of
faithful study Of the subject 1t treats of almost
every topic connected with the preparation and
delivery of sermons-and shows the hand of a
master in every part. The two chapters on
Style deserve the very highest commendation.
The preacher of the Gospel should be student
of the methods of preaching as long as he labors
In the ministry, and the oldest minister as well
as the younger ones. may find great profit in the
reading of such a volume as this.
DIR. Dabney well understands that in order to
preach the gospel successfully something more
than human eloquence is required, and so has
well SAID in his preface, q" that the necessity of
eminent Christian character is urged through
out as the foundation of the sacred orators pow
er, and that theory of preaching is asserted,
with all the force l could command, that hon
ors Gods inspired word and limits the preacher
most strictly to its exclusive use as the sword O
