the evening stars of the worlds exc
istence than by the morning stars, aud
the vespers will be sweeter than the
mathis. The work of all good men
and women and of all good churches
and all reform associations help to
bring the race back to the original
harmony. The rebellious heart to be
attuned, social life to be attunsd, COM
mercial ethics to be attuned, interna-
tionality to be attuned, hemispheres
to be attuned.
In olden times the choristers had q
tuning fork with two prongs, and they
would strike 1t on the back of pew or
music rack, and put it to the ear, and
then start the tune, and all the other
voices would join. In modern orchss-
ira the leader has a complete instru-
ment rightly attuned, and he sounds
that, and all the other performers tune
the keys of their instruments to make
them correspond, and draw the bow
over the string. and listen, and sound
1t over again, until all the keys ara
screwed to concert pitch, and the dis
cords melt into one great symphony,
and the curtain hoists, and the baton
taps, and audiences are raptured with

Now, our world can never be at
tuned by an imperfect instrument
Even Cremona would not do. Heaven
has ordained the only instrument, and
1t is made out of the wood of the cross,
and the voices that accompany it are
imported voices, cantatrices Of the
first Christmas night, when Heaven
serenaded the earth with GLORY to
God in the highest, and on the earth
peace, good will to men," Lest we
start too far off, and get lost in gem
eralities, we had better begin with
ourselves, get our own hearts and
lives in harmony with the ster-
nal Christ. Oh, for His almighty
spirit to attune US, to chord
our will with His. to modulate our
life with His life, and bring US into
unison with all that is pure. and self
sacrificing, and heavenly! The strings
of our nature are all broken and
twisted. and the bow is SO slack that it |
can not evoke anything mellifluous
The instrument made for Heaven to |
play on has been roughly twanged |
and struck by influences worldly and |
demoniac. Oh, master hand of Christ,
restore this split, ana fractured, and |
iespoiled, and unstrung nature, until
first we shall wall out for our sin and
hen thrill with divine pardon.
The whole world must also be at
,uned by the same power. Twas in the

Anvil Chorus" composed by Verdi,

Will be attuned by the Gospel harp.
