The QUAvERlNG VOICE.

A PernIclOus Habit to Which Many Sing.
ers Are Addicted.
Many singers. especially y Dung sing
ers, fall into the habit of using the
'tremolo'' or ''vibrato." The former
is. as the word implies. trembling of
the voice. and may be dismissed as
simply vulgar and offensive The
''vibrato'' stands on a different foot
ing. 1t is impossible to pass sweep
ing condemnation upon it, seeing that
it is adopted by nearly the whole
Italian school-that school to which
we are accustomed to look for the
proper production of the voice. Where
il does not arise from an unsteadiness
due to straining the open tones III
large theaters and music halls it would
appear, upon analysis. to be an exag-
geration of the ordinary vibration
which is essential to every well-pro-
duced note. It enables the singer to
obtain much greater power. adesidera-
tum in opera singing and in the large
concert halls. and, if kept within
bounds, is not open to objection. But
some singers use it to such an exag-
gerated extent that it is sometimes
| difficult to tell on what note the singer
intends to dwell. The voice is swayed
backward and forward instead of
resting on the note, and this exag-
geration produces q most unpleasant
sensation on sensitive ear. There
is one Of our leading sopranos at the
present day who will make a nervous
person with a sensitive ear fidget on
his chair from the irritation her sing
ing causes; and yet her singing is al
ways spoken of with enthusiasm by
the entire press. -Longnsan's Maya.

THEREFORE,"

Therefore" is the most important
word, the one fundam entail idea in re-
ligion and ethics. Religion furnishes
the therefore for morality, belief for
conduct, faith for character. No truth
without therefore can be an essential

by therefore, can be duty. No one
can appreciate more highly than do,
in their places and for their uses, what
are commonly called the evidences of
Christianity; but UNNECESSARILY beyond
all other evidence cannot but place its

ideal,-in fine, its clustered therefores,
its collected and multitudinous there

FIRST SERVICE AFTER THE FIRE.
MINNEAPoLIs, Jan. 25s 1888.
he Editor of The Universalist:

To the Editor of The Universdtist::
The news of the destruction of our
Church of the Redeemer, in Mime
apolis, has been carried on swift wings
far and pear. Our UNCONVENTIONAL
press has taken early and kindly notice
of it, and has conveyed to us, we doubt
not, representatively, the sympathy of
all our Universalist kinsfolk. This is
perhaps enough. Piling up pathetic
descriptions of cur loss does not lessen
it. 1t is some relief, however, always
to tell our sorrows to others; those
especially who listen with hearts in
their ears.
1t may interest your readers and our
many friends scattered about the land,
to learn something more of our first
service following the fire 1t was an
occasion long to be remembered by our
people. What contrast to the dedi-
cation services in June, 1876! I'm the
day of prosperity be joyful, but in the
day of adversely consider: God hath
set the one over against the other, to
the end that man should find nothing
after him." (Prov.vII. IA Although the
Congregationalists, Unitarians, Meth
odists and Jews promptly and cordially
offered the use of their churches for an
indefinite time, it was deemed best, by
our trustees, all things considered, to
go to the Grand Opera House, few
blocks only from the old spot, and
which is both spacious and convenient.
We gathered here in large numbers on
Sunday morning, Jan. 22nd. The same
choir and organist occupied the plat
form in front of the dark green drop
curtain, with the two pastors. The
old books were burned and hence
printed slips of hymns, ETC., were pro-
vided. The faces of the great audience
wore visible signs of solemnity, of deep
feeling, but nothing like despair.
Rev. M. D. Shutter conducted the
opening services, except the hymn,
which was read by DR.. Tuttle. The
surroundings were strange. A deep
sea of emotion was evidently heaving
and swelling beneath the surface of the
congregation and between the speakers
and hearers. Instead of regular SER
mon two addresses were given, the
first by Mr.. futile, the second by Mr..
Shutter. The following is the sub
stance of what they said:

DR.. TURTLES ADDRESS.

M Dear Friends The faces L see
before me, most of them, are familiar.
1 can at least identify the audience. l
know my brother, my associate, here
by my side; recognize the voices of
this choir, the touch of those fingers,
perhaps, at the organ,-but the other
Surroundings! These are not the old sur
roundings do not know this pulpit.
l feel embarrassed L am sad! L am
sick at heartl Where are we? What
does all this meanP
Alasl alas 1t means that our beau
tiful church, our Church Of the Re-
deemer, the church we worked so long
and with such struggling to build,
and which when built was such bless
ing to us all; the church which was so
perfectly planned, so skillfully ar
ranged, so artistically wrought, so
faultlessly finished and fitted to the di-
vine purpose for which it was erected,
that none of US could criticize it; the
church which was the pride of its build
ers, the admiration of architects, which
our citizens praised as often as they
passed it; which attracted the eyes of
visitors; which was an object of wide
interest to the denomination it repre-
scented; whose completion and dedica-
tion was an epoch to our cause in the
Northwest-it means that this church
has been despoiled and ruined by fire.
The altar before which we worshiped,
where we baptized our children, mar
ried our sons and daughters, gathered
in memory of our Lord, and sometimes
carried our dead-the altar, the COM
munion table, the pulpit, the organ, the
pews, the picturesque gallery, the mag
niicent ceiling, the lofty roof that shell
tered US, the noble windows, alas! the
lovely memorial window consecrated
by tender recollections and fearful
love-all these were scorched and
eharred and undermined and heaped in
lASO
frozen, blaekened mass!
The Sunday-school rooms so dear to
our children, inwrought with our chill
dren's lives-the Bible-class room; the
conference meeting room, the place of
our weekly prayer and conference; the
parlors where our numerous church
circles were held; the young mems
reading room-all these sacred places
are now filed to the brim with fallen
debris, and have become a sepulcher
for the buried treasures the church con-
tanned
A dozen years or more ago when'the
foundation stones of the church had
been laid and arrangements for its
erection had been completed, l asked
leave of absence and went abroad; at
the end of twelve months l returned.
The committe men of the church met
me at the depot and at once conducted
me in a carriage to the corner of Second
avenue and Eighth street, TO show me
how the new building had progressed
during the year. The walls had risen
to nearly their full height. 1 stood and
gazed at them, unfinished, unornament-
One of the transept windows contained a
beautiful and expensive memorial of Frank
Washburn, a son OF Hon. W. d. Washburn.

Boston, which boasts of two birth
places of Franklin, claims to have one
statue of the great printer which excels
ny other in the country. 1t is that exc
cuted by Greenough (who was the sculp-
tor OF the great mass of stone known as
the Washington statue in the capitoD, in
bronze on commission from the city. 1t
is this statue that is said to have been
modelled on the theory of Lavater, the
physiognomist, that the sides of the hu-
man face represent different phases of
human nature. Accordingly one side of
the bronze face Of Franklin is given the
expression of the man Of science who
drew the lightning from the clouds, and
the other side represents the homely phi
losophy of Poor Richards Almanac
Which is the scientific and which the hu
manitarian side the observer is supposed
to decide for himself.

The Aston fortune, which has in
creased through four generations, is an
exception to the general rule which con-
fines great wealth to not more than three
generations. The reason is that the Astors
are always educated in the thrifty habits
Of their ancestors. The sons are trained
in all the details of the management of
their immense estate. Hence, it has
come to pass that the fortune of forty
million dollars left by John Jacob Astor
nearly forty years ago has grown from
two to three hundred million dollars in
the hands of his namesake and grandson,
and will soon descend to his grest-grand-
SOD, William Waldorf Astor, increasing
at yearly rate of from ten to twenty
million dollars.

Mr.. George Bancroft accounted for
his own longevity the other day with
three reasons: First, that he was the
middle child in his fathers family,
equally distant from the youngest and
the oldest; second, that he had always
gone to bed at ten o'clock. unless it had
been impossible; and, third, that he had
always spent four hours of each day in
the open air, unless prevented by storm.
He added that his riding, of which the
newspapers had made SO much, was pri-
marily for the pur pose of being out of
doors, and not of being on horseback.
