In the six :eenth century the singers
called the Fischer brothers reached the
lowest bass ever recorded, and the
highest note ever triiled was By La

song which the morning stars sang al

All the s3c:ed music in homes and
concert halls and churches tends TO-
ward this consummation. Make it
more and mora, hearty. Sing in your
places of business. Ii we with proper
spirit use these faculties, we are re.
hearsing for the skies.
Heaven is to have a new song, an
entirely new song. b.! I should not
wonder if, as sometimes on earth, a
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 been playing through them the
songs of earth. And how thrilling, as
coming through the great anthem of
the saved, accompanied by harpers
| with their harps and trumpeters with
their trumpets, if we should hear some
of the strains of Antioch" and
Mount Pisgah" and "Corons ton
and "'Lenox" and St. Martins" and
Fountain" and ariel" aud "OId

mind the praying circles and commu-
MON days, and the Chrstmasf festivals,
and the church worship which on
earth we mingled. have no idea
that when we bid farewell 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 righteous
ness is harmony, let US get out OF the
one and enter the other.
After our dreadful civil war was
over, in the summer OF 1869, a great
national peace jubilee was held in
Boston, aud as an elder of my church
had been honored by the selection of
some of his music to be rendered on
that occasion l accompanied him to
the jubilee. Forty thousand people
sat and stood in the great coliseum
erected for that purpose Thousands
of wind and stringed instruments.
Twelve thousand trained voices.
The masterpieces Of all ages render

surges that billowed against the heav-
ems.
The mighty cadences within were
accompanied on the outside by the
ringing of the bells Of the city, and
cannon on the commons discharged
by electricity, in exact time with the
music, laundering their aw.ul bars of
q harmony that astounded all nations,
sometimes I bowed my head and
wept. Sometimes stood up in the
enchantment, and sometimes the effect
was 50 overpowering felt l 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 100 an
wis under mighty hammers were IN
full clang, and all the towers OF the
city rolled in their majestic sweetness.
and the whole building quaked with
the boom of 80 cannon. Parepa Rosa,
with a voice that will never again be
eoualed on earth until the archangel-
ic voice proclaims that time shall be
no longer, rose above all other sounds
in her rendering of our national air,
"The Star Spangled Banner" 1t was

the whole worlds peace Jubilee, and
all islands of the sea join the FIVE con
tinents, and all the voices and all the
musical instruments OF all nations
combine, and all the organs that ever
sounded requiem of sorrow sound only
grand march of joy, and all the bells
that toI!ed for burial ring for resur'
rection, and all the cannon that ever
hurled death across the nations sound
forth eternal victory. And over al!
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, saying, 81 am alpha
and omega, the beginning and the
lend, the first and the last. Then, al
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, "tbe morning
stars sang together"
