COLUMBUS DAY AT TRINITY NJ. f..
CHURcu.-Last night Mr.. Naylor de-
scribcd the horrible pit and the way

Christ will place upon our lips. He
said: 1T is not silly, empty, nom
senscal, meaningless song, such as you
hear rs YOU walk down the streets, but
it is one of infinite meaning and depth,
such as
80 love, thou bottomless abyss;
Ny sins are covered up in thee.
Covered is my unrighteousness,
Nor spot nor guilt remains on me.
There is music in this song that will
take all eternity to exhaust. Then it will
be sweet song. You may have heard
the nightinSale's notes rolling from the
lips of Jenny Lind; you may have
heard the sweet tenor of a Sims Reeves;
YOU may have listened to the sweet
strains of Madame Patti; you may
have been TO some great musical festi-
val festival and heard the grand organ
pealins forth its soul-inspiring music,
or listened to the skilful choir as they
trolled forth their harmonious song,
but no song so sweet, no song so full OF
hcavcn-born music as the song that
trembles from the lips of one whose
feet are planted on the rock of ages.
