Discord Changed To Harmony.
OongregatiOnalist.

Oongregationalist.
There is a story with which many
of the present generation have been
made familiar in u reading-books
which has an important application
to Church!1ife. The story is that a
German, with an "a sensitive to
music, n day entered a church,
and, being distressed by the discords
of the singing, put his fingers in his
ears f.; but there penetrated through
them a clear, rich soprano singing in
such perfect tune that he was moved
to listen. The singer neither faltered
because of the jarring notes, nor in
creased the volume of her voice to
drown them She kept steadily on
till one after another came into
accord. with her sweet tones,
till she brought the en-
tire congregation into harmony. The
true servant of Christ, in a Church
whose members are disagreeing with
one another, does not drop into ST.
lence from disgust. If he is strong
and positive in his views, ne is much
more tempted to sing too loud, or to
high, and crack his own voice. But
if he would win for his Master, he
must sing for his Masters ear till dis
cord becomes heavenly music. We
are divinely called to live and work
with imperfect men and women.
Let us remember that they are dust
and so are we.
