Church that has caused the decline in
conversions. Sinners are not too hard
tor the Holy Ghost; are not harder than
those who rejected and slew Christ; than
those OF Corinth. The world is no worse
now than then; hostile opposition no
greater. And were the Church as pure
as oelleylng, as consecrated to-day as it
was on Pentecost, we might see as great
triumphs. The Church is too full Of the
world to be full OF the Holy Ghost Too
much clogged with worldliness to be a
proper medium to convey the spiritual
power of God to a lost world. The
Church must be fully magnetized with
Christ to draw sinners to Him.
Again, we need revival because the
candidates for the ministry are decreas-
ing. The Protestant Episcopal Church
reports 40 less candidates for orders
While our denomination has organised
$50 new churches in ten years, our min
lstry has only increased 30 in five years
In 1877 our candidates numbered 176.
In 1881 only 144. Our ioentiates So
now II. Our ordinations in 1877 were
Al, and in 1878 there were SIS, but in
1881 only %. Our licensures in 1877
were 50, but in 1881 only 20. With a
growing Church, with rapidly increas-
ing population, and hence also increasing
in number of churches, all our agencies
'Or supplying them with gospel ministers
are decreasing. The cause is the spirit
of worldliness, producing fewer CONVEX,
slons of our Intellectual youth, and less
conservation on the part of those con-
verified. The remedy is a revival of reli.
gion. For this, my brethren, let us all
labor and pray day and night.

Died for Us.

- Our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us.-1
Thess. v: g. 10.
Died for us? Who else ever did as
much for you? who else ever loved you
as much? Only think, now, what it re-
ally means, because it is really true; and
surely 1t is most horribly ungrateful when
one Tor whom such great thing has been
done does not even think about it.
You would think it hard to be pun
ished Tor some one else's fault; but this
is exactly what your dear Saviour did
let himself be punished for your fault in
stead of you
Suppose some cruel man were GOING to
cut off your leg, what would you think if
your brother came and said, mo; chop
mine of instead?" But that would not
be dying for you. And "our Lord Jesus
Christ died for you.
1t was the very most he could do to
show his exceeding great love to you.
He was not obliged to 90 through with
1T; he might have come down from the
cross at any moment. The nails could
not have kept him there an instant long
er than he chose his love and pity were
the real nails that nailed him fast to the
cross till the very end till he could say,
" 1t is finished, till he "died" for us.
1t was not only because he loved his
Father that he did it, but because he
loved u.s. for the text goes on: "Who
died for us, that, whether we wake or
sleep, we might live together with him"
So he loved us so much that he wanted
us to live together with him and as no
sin can enter his holy and beautiful home,
ne knew our sins must be taken away be-
fore we could go there And only blood
could take away sin, only death could
atone for it; and so he bled that we
might he washed in his most precious
blood; he died, that whether we wake
or sleep, we might live together with
him"
There is word fain would speak,
Jesus died
0 eyes that weep and hearts that break.
Jesus died
No music from the quivering string
Could such sweet sounds of rapture bring;
Oh, may l always love to sing.
Jesus died Jesus died r"

Congregational Singing versus
Choirs.

While we cannot coincide in all that
our contributor hos said in his very read
able article on Congregational singing
and cholrs, yet we are free to confess
that several Of his points against conpre-
gational singing, as it often exists, are
well taken. AS for us, although we have
spent over twenty years in the choir gal
Iery, and with choirs of no little repute.
yet we are enthusiastically in favor of
congregational singing, either with or
without the aid of trained choir, and
it has become our honest belief that any
substitute for it falls far short of the d.
vine command Let all the people praise
the Lord. If the people can be helped
to praise God by choir, that is well and
good, but that any choir should be al
lowed to monopolize the song worship of
a church, is something so utterly against
the true method Of worshipping God with
the heart and voice, that no true Chris
tan, be he cultured musician, or only
psalm singer, can consent to it.
That the so-called congregational SING
ing In many churches is indeed truly ter
rlble, Is alas too true, but that the So
called choir singing of larqe 7,1ajoglt2/ of
both city and country churches is even
worse than terrible, is unfortunately onita
as recognized fact It is therefore onIv
choice of evils, and this writer is one
who can endure the "undisciplined hue
and cry of congregational singing, even
at its worst, but who fails to possess his
soul In patience under the average "se-
Iect possee in the organ loft" And he
IS also old fashioned enough to believe
that the first is far more acceptable to
God than the latter. A really good choir,
directed by a Christian leader who is in
full sympathy with the congregation, and
whose only aim is to lead them in their
song worship, is blessing to any church.
but where one such can be found there
are hundred that are not as positive
blessings as they might be. Our belief
is that it is far easier to organize good
congregational singing, than to organize
good choir, and we have yet to see the
congregation that cannot, with compare
lively little effort, be taught to sing the
songs Of Zion in manner acceptable even
to musical ears. Give US, if possible. con-
gregation and choir, but if not the two.
then let us have the congregation alone.
