Ill.Timed Sermons,

One bad sermon isn't an argument against
the office of the pulpit, and one ill-timed
funeral discourse may not be proof that the
funeral address should be abolished. But
there can be no question that, If il were, we
should get rid Of much that is unlovely, in.
congruous, and oftentmes painful at fun
erals. The last case comes from Washing
ton, and occurred at funeral where Rev.
DIR. Blanchard, president of Wheaton Col
lege, Illinois, was officiating. The deceased
man had been member of the knights of
pythias and of other secret societies, and
his fellow members were present on the in
vitation OF his family. DIR. Blanchard took
the occasion TO denounoe secret societies in
a severe manner. A sister of the deceased
was 30 effected by the aiTront given TO her
friends that she tainted, and was carried
out of the church. Her husband then
called upon the speaker TO stop, which he
refused to do, unless desired to do so by the
father of the deceased, who had invited
him to conduct the service. The father
then told him he had better quit;" where
upon he gathered up his manuscript and
left the church-the doctors wisest act pos
sible, under the circumstances the only
wiser thing he could have done would have
been to stay away altogether. This brings
to mind funeral presenting some similar
features to this one. A man who had been
Mason, and who had been some years
previous wholesale liquor dealer, though
he had quit the business, and who had
many good qualities, giving freely of his
means when solicited, died, and was buried
from the old Western Hotel on Courtlandt
street, this city. A minister from uptown
was called upon to oificiate. And he did
ofiiciate with a vengeance. First, he de-
nounced masonry and all secret societies
then he denounced the liquor business, and
raised the Interrogation as 10 how many
souls that man had ruined ? lie said he
must do his duty-snd he certainly did it,
as he understood it, closing with, "Where is
he now p Can you doubt Must an
swer p lost lost lost |" We should
think the shrieks which that widow and
her daughters gave as he uttered these
words would linger around that locality as
the profanity of old Covert Lockerman is
said to be heard in the region of the High
lands. Whether any one ever informed
that minister that he had been guilty Of a
gross outrage, and whether he has yet to
learn that such a speech Is the furthest
possible removed from the spirit of the
Master, we do not know. We only hope
both he and DIR. Blanchard are abundantly
satisfied with their efforts in that particular
direction-one of which may be considered
amply sufficient for a lifetime Meanwhile
there is some comfort in the thought that
the attenuated funeral discourse is going
into disuetude and that it, together with
such phenomenal funeral speeches as We
have alluded to, will soon become things oil
the past.-Chrisiian at Work.

Serve God by Serving Man.

There are those whose idea of serving
God is narrowed down to this: They
make a profession of faith in Christ by
uniting with some church and attending its
appointments as frequently as their disposi-
tion inclines or circumstances pleasingy
permit. They contribute to the support of
the sanctuary services in manner which
they regard as sufficiently liberal. 1t may
be that they give all that they are really
able to. AS to divine worship in the fam
lily, they may be truly dutiful and devout.
They may, also, contribute considerably to
the support of missions. But the particu-
lars which | have mentioned describe the
general idea that many have of serving God.
And yet, there are too many whose idea of
serving God does not cover the ground in.
dicated. 1t may be summed up in the
brief sentence: Join a church, attend
when convenient, and pay for the support
of the pastor, if he suit, and there be any
means to spare. Now, it is not to be de.
MED that God is served in the manner sug.
gested, even when confined to the narrow
est limit which have sketched. But it is
indeed narrow view of what constitutes
the sphere of Christian service in relation
to God. The truth is plainly taught in the
Bible, that the scope of Christian service
includes labor in behalf of our fellow-men.
Sacrifices are TO be made for the good OF
others. Pains are to be taken for the com.
fort of the needy. The divine question is
"Whoso hath this worlds good, and seeth
his brother have need, aud shutteth up his
bowels of compassion from him, how dwell
eth the love of God in him ?" Christ says
"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the
least of one of these, my brethren, ye have
done it unto me-" At the Judgment day
service to God will be judged according to
the manner and spirit in which We have
ministered to the hungry, and thirsty, and
naked, and sick and imprisoned. The doc
trine taught is this; lie who serves man
most faithfully, serves him because he loves
God, and thus loves mamie who serves
man most, serves God best. 1t may be
through church organization, or without
it ; it may be in the sanctuary, and Sunday
school, and prayer-meeting, or it may be
by the wayside; but wherever may be the
place, or whatever the opportunity, let us re
member that we fall short of sotualizing the
divine idea of serving God, unless we conse
crate our efforts TO the welfare of fellow
mortals.-Rev. C.'E. Wetherbee.

favorable terms. The Vladimir cherry es-
pecially receives his commendation. IL is
grown extensively in large orchards in the
Government Of Vladimir. The trees are
rather bushes, but bear heavily. The flesh
OF these cherries is deep purplish red, the
skin reddish black, and when fully ripe the
flavor is rich minging of acid and sweet.
The Ostheim cherry is another very hardy
variety largely grown in Germany, and
found to succeed in Minnesota at st. Peter,
where it was introduced by Mr.. L. Myer,
German colonist. 1t is similar in appear
ance and quality 10 the Vladimir. Several
other North German and Polish cherries OF
merit are named and described by MIR. Gibb.
In the most northern parts of Central
Russia Mr.. Glib found plums growing, some
of them of really fine quality. In some
places they are grown in large quantity for
market. They belong to family nearly re-
lated to the German Prune, or "Quetche."
Like the Vladimir cherry these Northern
forms of the plum are dwarf in habit OF
tree, often bushes. There is a great variety
of kinds, some red or yellow, but mostly
blue. They differ widely in flavor; some
Mr.. Glib says are equal to the Lombard,
some early and some late. They are usually
without any astringency of skin and are
mostly free.stone. One of the commonest
in the northern markets is large dark dull
red pruneshaped plum, not rich, but nom
astringent and a really good cooking fruit.
Another large violet plum, called Moldavka
is of medium quality. At Tula Mr.. Glib
found family of plums akin to the Refine
Claudes They are of very fine quality,
"extra quality" says Mr.. Glib, but in the
cold climate of Tula they are planted at an
angle of forty-fve degrees or less, and bent
down TO the ground before the snow falls.
Thus protected they bear beautifully. Mr..
Glib says the species Pruns Spinosd pro-
duces a very excellent cooking plum, and is
grown in the extreme north successfully.
The melons of Russia pleased Mr.. Glib
greatly. The principal variety is fourteen
inches long, netted, the flesh very deep,
creamy white in color and Of the highest
quality. 1t may be easily kept till Christ
mas. Watermelons are also abundant.
These are small, round, white, with red
flesh, and of fine flavor. They grow with
out care, apparently as readily as pumpkins
do with us.
The above is but a brief aud imperfect
abstract of Mr.. Gibbs intensely interesting
report, but we think it will have the E fleet to
interest our readers in these Russian fruits,
which may be made to fill an important
place in the colder parts of our country.
We shall be greatly interested in testing
such as we may be fortunate enough to OBJ
tain, and shall take pleasure in reporting
whatever progress we or others may make
in determining the value of these novelties
| in America.

A Word About ChOirs.

Their numbers must depend upon various
circumstances, as the size of the church, the
character OF music intended to be performed,
etc. But, in most of our churches, they
should consist of at least twenty-four voices
Less than these cannot produce good choral
effects, and a much larger number is prefer
able, when it can be obtained and the
question naturally arises, When may it not
be obtained 2 We have due regard for
our friends in the gallery, and full appre-
citation of the excellence of their perform
ance but the fact is that quartet singing
is not choir singing. A good choir will nat
urally include good quartet, and these may
bring out solo effects when desired. But to
commit to the quartet the entire choral SER
vice must, in the nature of the case, be un-
desirable and unsatisfactory to the singer
and TO the people, for its arrangement does
not admit OF the proper rendering of the
music of the masters, nor the simple and
grand melodies of the people. Being fitted
chiefly for the display of superior talent,
the majority of music selected will nat
urally be that which the people cannot sp-
preciate and too often the tunes selected for
the hymns are those in which the congrega.
tion cannot readily join; and thus the
spirit of critical appreciation or, worse still,
that of spiritual pride, sloth and indiffer-
ence, fostered and gratifled. To its most
determined adherents there must be some
thing strikingly incongruous in the singing
OF such hymn as
From all that dwell below the skies
Let the Creators praise arise,
Let the Redeemers name be sung
Through every land, by every tongue
by the grand chorus of solitary one on
each part, the congregation meanwhile re-
naming mute in their seats. Custom, in
deed, reconoiles us TO almost anything but
it passes comprehension how worshiping
by Proxy could have grown into an institu-
tion in the house of God, claiming now the
sanctions aud prerogatives of a custom.
Surely, upon little consideration, we
wonder that such things could be tolerated,
much less admired by pious congregation.
Inquiry will demonstrate that not only does
the Bible and the history of the church take
this view, but the highest musical authority
also. In many of the German churches
may be heard the most exquisite choir sing
ing (not quartet singing; but in no case
does it interfere with the singing of the
people, for the choir and people are most
harmonously blended John Sebastian
Bach we admit to be- one of the most EN-.
inent composers who ever lived. His music
for the church service is the grandest in
existence and he has given the weight Of
his authority in favor of congregational
singing, not only by the great number of
his chorals, but by the introduction OF
music for the people into his most elaborate

compositions. His Passion Music ia an in
stance Of this, having been written for two
great chorus singers, with distinct portion
for the congregation. We cannot here re-
frain from quoting brief passage from the
letters of the late DIR. Lowell Mason
What worshiping assembly knowing the
power Of good choir, would be satisfied
for single Sabbath with the drawingroom
effects of a single voice on part 7 The
substitution Of a pianoforte for an organ in
church worship would not be in worse taste
than the substitution of quartet for
choir. A quartet is beautiful in its place,
and in connection and in contrast with
choir may he truly effective in church
music but save us from that form of song
in the house of God which consists in the
monotony of four-voiced performance,
without the light aud shade afforded by a
chorus."-MuSical Herald.
