Now. In the emerald palace OF heaven
let the cup-bearers and serN ants OIL the
King remove this course from the ban
uuetand bring on another course OF an
gels food. which is Celestialized Music.
You and Z have seen at some concert or
oratorio whole assemb.age 10 whom
the music was a feast. Never any
thing that they took in at the lips OF
The mouth was so delightful to their
taste as that which they took IN ut the
iips of the ear / have seen, and YOU
have seen people actually intoxicated
with sweet sounds. OratOuOs which
are always too protraCted for those OF
as who have not had our faculties cHl-
tivated i'm that direction, were never
long enough for them. As at eleven
o'clock at night the leader OF the or
chesua gave the three taps of his baton
90 again start the music, Cney were as
fresh and alert Us when three hours be
fore. ana az eight o'clock, the curtain
frst lifted. Music 20 them IS food tor
body. food for mud, and food for soul.
From what read iu my Bible. | think
CelestialiZad music will make up
Iarge part of angels food Why do
saw .celestialized music?' Because
though music may have been born In
heaven. it had not all us charms until
IL came % earth and took baptism OF
tears. Since then it has had a pathos
and tenderness that it could not
otherwise have possessed. 1t had 10

stormy seas. and weep at sepulchres,
and TO be hummed as lullaby over the
cradle of sick children before 1t could
mount TO its present attitudes
or HEAVENLY POWER.
No organ on earth would be complete
without the stop, "TremOlO,' and the
stou. "Vox Humane." And no music
of heaven would be complete without
the "Tremolo" Of earthly sorrow COM
forted. and the "N0X Humane OF
earthly sympathies sioufied. Just
take up tie New Testament and find 1t

sworn enemies close en- both sides OF

i'm heaven? Paul and Silas sang in
midnight dungeon, and DO You not
suppose that now they sing on the De
lectable SUBMITS? What do the
harps. and rumpets, and Ch0irS OF
Revelation suggest, if not music?
What would the millions of eOod sing

took part in earthly worship do III

mansions ring with it, The great halls
of eternity echo with t. The worship
