Music and che Pulpit Not Anta gonistic
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Some may have thought from our last com- munication on this subject that we under valued or tried to disparage sacred music. It was not our intention to convey this idea II is inordinate praise and adulation to which we object Nor have we the slightest wish to dim the Iustre of single star in the musical Armament. With reference to vocalists it may be said ssThe birds that sing at Heavens gate" must get there before they can sing, and they deserve judieious praise and fair criticism Sacred music Is attractive, eleva- Sing and refining. The pulpit is instructive, commanding and psrsuading. The light of the pulpit is more original and penetrating the light of sacred music is more mild and reflective. The pulpit is the oak, sacred music is the vine that beau tifies and adorns it. The pulpit sovs the seed, sacred music helps to gather the sheaves and sings the harvest song, The pulpit gives us the gems of truth. Sacred music enhances their value by golden set ting. As the singing of the angelic chorus comes down from heaven, so. we may sup nose. this ascends to heaven s'vibra ting in the ear of God" There is no conflict, no antagonism be Sacred music will thrive and flourish where sacred things are most ably defended and up held. The beautiful flower will ultimately expand and blossom when the root ano branch is strong and vigorous. It does re quire, however, 8 more genial atmosphere, { clear perception that evangelical Christianity is not merely bulwsrk of invincible truth but also a delightful garden where everyone from the child to the philosopher, can fint something adapted to his capacity of enjoy mont, whree genius is humiliated and wealti is forgotten in the contemplation of grande themes.

THE CONVENTION.

Tomorrow the Republican national con- vention will begin operations There has not been as much fuss as usual made oyer the preliminary proceedings, but there Is no lack of interest. What a convention will do is always more or less uncertain, but there seems to be an unusual uncertainty about the action of this one. Neither the prophets nor the sons of prophets dare to predict who will be the nominee. Skillful observers have been in Chicago surveying the field for sev- eraI days. and yet they know no more about what is to be done than when they first ar rived there. Arthur and Blaine will proba- ply have about three hundred votes each on the first ballot. It is generally believed that Blaine's workers have gained some of the del egates who ''started in" for Arthur. At any rate, they are working like s'bsavers." Says 8 correspondent: If boastipg and noise will name the candidate of the Republican COR vention, then James G. Blaine will get the nomination, for his adhersnts have given themselves up to bragging without stint The whole Blaine body is highly magnetized, and it's antics are becoming wsarisome with repetition. Whenever you meet Blaine man he seizes you and pours into your ear the same old story. Everybody wants him. The great West cries for him. The Middle States yearn for him. nation that has longed for him for twelve years now insists that it must have him as a candidate. AS for his election, If nominated the possibility of defsat is secuted by his blind followers. All admonitions about the danger of offering Blaine to divided party in New York or Massachusetts are answered by the monoto- nous and stupid, because uEtrue, assertion that Blaine will be accepted by all factions, all dissatisfied clements, the independents & well as the regulars, and that he will carry of from the Democratic party large share of the Irish vote, which is to be offered to him in the hope that his election will be fol- lowed by vigorous foreign policy, partiou- IarIy toward England. With talk of this kind the Blaine men have worked up great hustle and din.
 But it is not all certain that boosting and noise will win. We do not believe they will And we have faith also to believe that the convention will not make fatal mistake in it's choice. There are among the candidates several men with whose nomination the whole party could have no reasonable sx- cuse for being dissatisfied. Edmunds, Haw- ley, Lincoln, Gresham, either of the Sher- mans, or Harrison would be satisfactory There does not appear to be such very ''dark horse" in the contest as General Gar field was but perhaps there is We shall soon know.

not less than the existing forty-five. Should this prevail, which it can only do if sanc- tioned by three-fourths of the annual con- ferences, each indorsing it by three-fourths vote, the next General conference will proba- bly, fix the basis at sixty, and then, if the an- nual conferences assent to this arrangement, the General conference of 1892 will be con- stituted on such basis, 8 change which, as it will reduce the number of ministers in the general body, will make it more feasible than at present to admit to 1t an equal number of laymen, and though it may seem risky, I predict that two quadrenniums hence this will be done.
 The action of the conference on the sub- ject of divorce was exceedingly radical. The committee on the state of the church pre-. scented report, which, after deprecating the terrible prevalence of this evil, and the trivial grounds on which separations are de- creed, provided for the insertion in the Discipline of 8 clause declaring no divorce to be lawful except granted flor a Sex ,- tural reason" This language, however, VI not deemed sufficiently specific, and AE amendment was adopted, declaring, in plain terms, that "the only lawful ground for di- vorce was adultery" and stipulating, furs ther, that TO minister of the church shall re-marry any divorced man or woman, providing, however, that he may do so in the case of a former husband and wife who wish to be reunited, and may perform the ceremony for any person innoeently di- vorced." believe that is the exact lan~ guage; certainly 1t is what was meant and what henceforth will be the law of the M. E. church on this subject. The opposition to the amendment was not important in point of numbers, but in some other re- spects it was very important. Dr. Boyle, the leader of the Pittsburg delegation, not only voted with the minority, but asked af- forwards, in a tone of indignation, to have
 his name entered on the journal as protest ing against the action. Later in the day I asked this indignant divine what were the
 reasons for his protest, and he said in sub stance that the new law would work great injustice ts many women of the church who had been married to wretches that had de- serted +hem, and whose only chance for happiness in life was iu getting divorced on
 the ground of absence and gross neglect of duty. Tho doctors point seemed to the writer to be well taken, and, doubtless, upon dellberation, not few of the dele gates who voted for the amendment will CONTINURD ON FaTRTH PAGE

 One of the hardest questions with which the Chicago convention will have to deal is the Virginia contest. The chairman of the Virginia straieht-out Republicans, John F. Dszendorf, has certified to Senator Sabin, the head of the Republican national con- nittee, as to the list of delegates elected to Chicago. In his letter he says: They rep resent the Republican party of Virginia, the same organization which has been repre- sented by it's delegates in every national Re publican convention since the war, which or ganization has been maintained intact to this day, and in 1880 boiled S4,- GOO votes for Garfield and Arthur; they are the only delegates from Virginia elected by 8 legally called Republican convention; they are justly and legally entitled to be mittance upon the floor of the national Re- publican convention. with all the rights and privileges belonging to all or any other dele. gates, as much so now as in 1876 and 1880, when the party which they represent was ad- misted by it's chosen represent natives to full participation in the deliberations of the party in national convention, the party which they represent having, in the meantime, done no act to forfeit it's rights ss an integral part oh the national Republican party.
 There are 20, 900 producing oil wells in Pennsylvania yielding at present 6o,ooo bar rels of oil day. It requires 5,000 miles of pipe line and 1,60O iron tanks of an average capacity of p, 900 barrels each to transport and store the oil and surplus stocks. There are now nearly 38.
