Mr.. Sanlley on Church Choirs.

Mr.. Sdnkey believes that singing
in churches should be led by a
choir. That the choir shonld be at
The same eud OF the church where
he minister is, either behind him
or beside him. The choir aud min.
ister are not independent perform.
crs--the one TO preach the other to
sing. They unite in leading the
worship of the congregation, and
ought to be in harmony with each
other. And in order to have har.
mony, the singers ought to be
christians. How eau a man praise
God acceptably when there Is no
love for God III his heart I A great
deal of the proverbial trouble with
church choirs grows out of the fact
that the singers are not christians.
Mr.. Sankey does not object to quar-.
tet choirs but he would have a
large chorus choir around the quar-
tet, to join 1t IN certain parts. He
liked solos and special pieces by
trained singers, yet he would have
only one or two such pieces during
any one service, and would have
at least two hymns in which the
whole congregation could Join. He
says that the minister should Join
in the singing, aud not be fumbllng
over his notes as if he had nothing
to do with praising God. The,mln-
lister should not only sing himself,
but urge all to sing. Chors ought
to behave like ladies and gentle
men. They have no business to
be whispering, or flirting, or read
ing newspapers while the minister
is preaching. They ought to sing
distinctly, SO that the congregation
can understand the words. The
church is not an opera, to crafty a
taste for artistic music. 1t should
furnish the music that will please
and edify the majority of the wor-
shippers, and not merely cultured
and fastldious few. The children
should be brought to the church
aud accustomed to take part in the
singing. In MIR. Surgeons church
the children all sit together aud
great pains are taken to train them
in singing. Ministers ought to
pray for special blessing on the
singing. Ii is a means OF grace as
well as the Scripture reading and
the sermon. And, finally the
hymns and the sermon ought to be

Watery Grave.
Edward Hanlan, the oarsman, who sr.
rived in this city on Saturday, says the
New York World Of recent date, was the
hero Of an exciting episode on the Harlem
River yesterday. About noon Q party OF
four young men were on the river in q
Whitehall boat. They were somewhat
under the influence Of liquor, and when
opposite the Metropolitan Boat Clubhouse,
about midway between the Third aud
Fourth Avenue bridges. their antics
caused the boat to cspsixe and they
we're precipitated into the water.
Hanlan, who WAS the guest Of the
Metropolitan Club, had been swimming
from the float outside the house and had
jumped into . gig in order to dive from il
when the cries Of the men In the boat at
trsoted his attention. Seating himself he
grasped . pair Of oars and q few OF his long,
powerful sweeps brought him alongside
the men, who ct the time we're nearly ex-
hausted IND on the point Of going under.
They each clutched 81 the outriggers Of the
craft, and In their excitement en-
deavored 70 Chamber into It. II required
Ill Hanlan's exertions to keep them from
,spsixing the boat. Hanlan, however, |
warned them that II they did not keep
,ool their only chance OF being saved
would be lost, and he told them to
hold quietly on to the bulwarks of
he boat and he would tow them to
he ~boathouse. They did so. and he had
pulled them nearly to the boathouse, |
vhen . number Of other and larger
,oats put of from the shore, and the |
men. who were completely exhausted, |
vsre pulled into them. They soon re-
