harp. There will be as many classes in
society as now, but the classes will not
be regulated by birth or wealth or acct
dent, but by the scale of virtue and be-
nevolenee, and people will be assigned
to their places as good. or very good, or
most excellent. So also commercial life
will be attuned, and there will be 10 in
every dozen, and IL ounces in every
pound, and apples at the bottom Of the
barrel will be as sound as those on the
top, and silk goods will not be cotton,
and sellers will not have to charge hon.
est people more than the right price be-
cause others will not pay, and goods
will come to you corresponding with
the sample by which you purchased
them, and coffee will not be chicoried,
and sugar will not be sanded, and milk
will not be chalked, and adulteration of
food will be state prison offense-aye,
all things shall be attuned! Elections in
England and the United States will no
more be grand carnival of defamation
and scurrility, but the elevation of
righteous men in a righteous way.
In the sixteenth century the singers
called the Fischer brothers reached the
lowest bass ever recorded, and the high
est note ever trilled was by La Bastar-
della, and Catalini's voice had COM
pass of 81 octaves. But Christianity is
more wonderful, for it runs all up and
down the greatest heights and the deep
est depths of the worlds necessity, and
1t will compass everything and bring it
IN accord with the song which the morn
ing stars sang at the laying Of the
worlds cornerstone. All the sacred mu-
sic in homes and concert halls and
churches tends toward this consumma-
ton. Make it more and more hearty.
Sing in your families. Sing in your
places of business. If we with proper
spirit use these faculties, we are re-
hearsing for the skies.
Heaven is to have new song, an en-
tirely new song. But I should not won
der If, as sometimes on earth tune is
fashioned out of many tunes, or it is one
tune with the variations, SO some of the
songs of the redeemed may have play
ing through them the songs of earth.
And how thrilling, as coming through
the great anthem of the saved, accom-
panied by harpers with their harps and
trumpeters with their trumpets, if we
should hear some of the strains of "Anti-
och and Mount Pisgah" and Corona
ton" and ''Lenox'' and EST. Martins"
and Fountain" and ariel" and "Old
E...lured!'
How they would bring to mind the
praying circles and communion days, and
the Christmas festivals, and the church
worship i'll which on earth we mingled!
| have no idea that when we bid fare
well to earth we are to bid farewell to
all these grand old gospel hymns which
melted and raptured our souls for so
many years. Now, if sin is discord, and
righteousness is harmony, let us get out
Of the one and enter the other. After
our dreadful civil war was over, in the
summer of 1859, great national peace
jubilee was held in Boston, and as an
elder of my church had been honored by
the selection of some Of his music to
be rendered on that occasion accom-
panied him to the jubilee. Forty thou
sand people sat and stood in the great
coliseum erected for that purpose.
Thousands of wind and stringed instru-
ments. Twelve thousand trained voices.
The masterpieces of all ages rendered,
hour after hour and day after day-Han-
del's Judas Maccabeus, Spohr's
Last Judgment, Beethoven's mount
Of Olives Haydn's Creation, Men
delssohn's "Elijah,e Meyerbeer's "Cor-
onation March," rolling ON and up in
sUrges that beloved against the heavens.
The mighty cadences within were &C.
companied on the outside by the ringing
of the bells of the city and cannon ON
the commons, discharged by electricity.
i'll exact time with music, laundering
their awful bars of harmony that as
founded all nations. Sometimes bowed
my head and wept, sometimes stood up
in the enchantment and sometimes the
effect was so overpowering felt could
not endure it, especially when all the
voices were in full chorus, and all the
batons were in full wave, and all the
orchestra in full triumph, and hun
= kapvils under mighty hammers were
clang, and all the towers Of the
Billed in their majestic sweetness,
s. the whole building quaked with
0e boom of 80 cannon. Parepa Rosa,
y voice that will never again be
e Ialed on earth until the archangelic
proclaims that time shall be no
"a z<xs rose above all other sounds in
ae 26ering of our national air, 1.-THE
Spangled Banner" 1t was too

1zH3Hbrtal, to hear, and while some
ed one womanly spirit, released

Lord, our God, quickly usher in
Whole worlds peace jubilee, and all
jslaIfds of the sea join the five CONT
nenks, and all the voices and all the mu-
cM Instruments of all nations combine,
aiid all the organs that ever sounded re-
Taiem of sorrow sound only a grand
march of joy, and all the bells that
tolled for burial ring for resurrection,
and all the cannon that ever hurled
death across the nations sound forth
eternal victory, and over all the acclaim
of earth and minstrelsy of heaven there
will be heard one voice sweeter and
mightier than any human or angelic
voice, voice once full of tears, but now
full of triumph, the voice of Christ, say
ing, 81 am alpha and omega, the be-
ginning and the end, the first and the
last. " Then, at the laying of the top
stone of the worlds history, the same
voices shall be heard as when, at the
laying of the worlds cornerstone, "the
morning stars sang together.
