as we have been amid this great wealth
OF church music, augmented by the
compositions of artists in our day, we
ought not to be tempted out Of the
sphere of Christian harmony, and Try
TO seek unconsecrated sounds. 1t is
absurd for n millionaire to steal.
Many of you are illustrations of
what sacred song can do. Through
it you We're brought into the kingdom
of Jesus Christ. You stood out against
the warning and the argument Of the
pulpit, but when, in the sweet words
of Charles Wesley or John Newton or
Toplady, the love of Jesus was sung to
v ur soul, then you surrendered, as an
armed castle that could not be taken

harp's trill.
There was Scotch soldier dying in
New Orleans, and Scotch minister
came in to give him the consola tions
of the Gospel. The man turned over
on his pillow and said: Don't talk to
me about religion" Then the minister
began to sing a familiar hymn that
was composed by David Dickinson, be-
ginning with the words:
Oh mother dear, Jerusalem,
When shall come to thee?
He sang it to the tune of Dundee, and
everybody in Scotland knows that;
and, as he began to sing, the dying
soldier turned over on his pillow and
said to the minister: Where did you
learn that?" Why" replied the min
lister, my mother taught me that"
so did mine," said the dying soldier;
and the very foundation of his heart
was upturned, and then and there he
yielded himself to Christ. Oh, it has
an irresistible power. Luther's SER
mons have been forgotten, but his

have also noticed the power Of sa-
cred song to sOothe pertu baton. You
NAV have come in here with Il great
many wOrriments and anxiety, yet
perhaps in the singing Of the first
hymn you lost them all. You have
read in the Bible Of Saul, and how he
was sad and angry, and how the boy
David came in and played the evil
spirit out of him. A Spanish king was
melancholy. The windows We're all
closed. He sat in the darkness. Moth
ing could bring him forth until Fra
nell came and diScOurSed music for
three or four days to him. On the
| fourth day he looked up and wept and
reioiced, and the wi ndOws were thrown
| open, and that which all the splendors
| OF the court could not do the power OF
song accomplished. If you have anxi-
cites and worriments, try this heaven
| lv charm upon them. Do not sit down
on the bank of the hymn, but plunge
in, that the devil Of care may be
brought out of you.
1t also arouses to action. Do you
not know that Il singing church is all
ways Il triumphant church? If con-
gregation is silent during the exercise
or partially silent, it is the silence of
death. If when the hymn is given out
| YOU hear the faint hum of here and
there a father and mother in Israel,
while the vast ma jority are silent, that
minister of Christ who is presiding
needs to have d very strong constitu-
ton if he does not get the chills. He
needs not only the grace Of God, but
nerves like whalebone. 1t is amazing
how some people with voice enough to
| discharge all their duties in the world,
| when thew come in to the house of God
i have no voice to discharge this duty.
l really believe that if the Church of
Christ could rise up and sing as it
ought to sing, where we have a hun
dred souls brought into the kingdom
of Christ there would be a thousand.
How was it in olden times? Cajetan
said: Luther conquered us by his
songs"
But I must now sr:a ak Of some of the
obstacles in the way of the advance
ment of this sacred music, and the first
is that it has been impressed into the
service of Satan. l ain far from belev-
ing that music ough always to be posi-
lively religious. Re2ued art has opened
places where music has been sec
ularized, and awfully SO. The draw
ing-room, the oonce.t, by the gratifca-
ton Of pure taste, and the production
of harmless amusement and the i'm
provement of talent, have become very
strong forces in the advanc ment
of our civilization. Music has as much

Another obstacle in the advancemo"
IT THIS art has Ueen me erroneous nc
ton that this part Of the service could
be conducted by dele ton. Churches
have said: ooh, what an easy time we
shall have. The minister will do the
preaching, and the choir will do the
singing. and we will have nothing to
do.o And you know as well as L that
there arc a great multitude Of churches
all through this land where the people
are not expected to sing. The whole
work is done by delegation of four or
six or ten persons, and the audience
are silent. In such church ia SYRIA
cuse an old elder persisted IN singing,
and so the choir appointed commit
tee to go and ask the elder if he would
not stop. You know that in many
churches the choir are expected to do
all the singing, and the great mass OF
the people are expected to be silent,
and if you utter your voice you are IN
tcrfering. In that church they stand,
the four, with opera glasses dangling
at their side, singing: Rock OF Ages,
Cleft for Me-" with the same spirit
that, the night before on the stage,
they took their part in the Grand
My Christian friends, have we right
to delegate to others the discharge of
this duty which God demands of us?
Suppose that four wood thrushes pro-
pose to do all the singing some bright
day, when the woods are ringing with
bird voice. 1t is decided that four

of the forest. Let all other voices keep

ers were tried in Heaven; suppose
that four choice spirits should try to

The temple was done. 1t was the
very chorus of all magnificence and
pomp. Splendor crowded against
splendor. 1t was the diamond neck
lace of the earth. From the huge
pillars crowded with leaves and flowers
and rows Of polnegranate wrought out
in FURNISHED metal, down even to the
tongs and shutters made out of pure
gold, everything was as complete as
the God directed architect could make
1t. 1t seemed as if vision from Heaven
had alighted on the mountains. The
day for dedication came. Tradition
says that there were in and around
about the temple on that day 20O,-
600 silver trumpets, 40, 600 tlmbrels ana
20O, O0b singers; SO that all modern
demonstrations q: Dusseldorf or Bos-

Al this great sound surged up amid
the precious stones Of the temple, it
must have seemed like the river OF

and God, as if to show that He was
we'll pleased with the music which His
children make in all ages, dropped in to
the midst of the temple cloud of
glory so overpowering that the ofticiat-
ing priests were obliged to stop in the
midst Of the services.
There has been much discussion as
to where music was born. Think that
At the beginning, "when the morning
stars sang together and all the sons OF
God shouted for JOYS" that the earth
heard the echo. The cloud on which
the angels stood to celebrats the crea-
ton was the birthplace Of song. The
stars that glitter at night are only SO
many keys of celestial pearl, on which
Gods fingers play the spheres. 1nani-
mate nature is full of stringed and
wind instruments. Silence itself-per-
feet silence-is only musical rest in
God great anthem OF worship. Wind
among the leaves, insect humming in
the summer air, the rush of billow
upon the beach, the ocean far out
sounding its everlasting psalm, the
bobolink on the edge of the forest,
the quail whistling up from the
grass are music. While visiting Black
wells island. l heard, coming from a
window OF the lunatic asylum, very
sweet song. 1t was sung by one who
had lost her reason, and l have come
to believe that oven the deranged and
disordered elements OF nature would
make music to our ear If we only had
acuteness enough to listen. / suppose
that even the sounds in nature that
are discordant and repulsive make har-
mony in Gods ear. You know that
you may come SO near to an orchestra
that the sounds are painful instead of
pleasurable, and l think that we stand
SO near devastating storm and fright
full whirlwind, we can not hear that
which makes to Gods ear and the eal
of the spirits above us u music as com
plete as it is tremendous.

kingdoms of the EARTH" And there
are hundreds of other passages might
name, proving that it is as much
mans duty to sing as it is his duty to
pray. Indeed, l think there are
more commands in the Bible to
sing than there are to pray. God
not only asks for the human voice, bnt
for the instruments OF music. He asks
for the cymbal and the harp and the
trumpet. And l suppose that IN the
last days of the church the harp, the
lutte, the trumpet, and all the lnstru-
ments of music that have given their
chief aid to the theater and bacchanal,
will be brought by their masters and
laid down at the feet Of Christ, ana
then sounded in the church's triumph
on her way from suffering into glory.
'.Praise Ye the Lord!' Praise Him
with your voices. Praise Him with
stringed instruments and with organs.
l draw another argument for the
Importance of this exercise from the
impressiveness of the exercise. You
know something OF what secular mu-
sic has achieved. You know it has
made it's impression upon govern
ments, upon laws, upon literature,
upon whole generations. One inspir-
ing national air is worth 80, 900 men as
a standing army. There comes time
in the ba tile when one bugle is worth
a thousand muskets. In the earlier
part of our civil war the government
proposed to economic in bands of nu-
sic, and many of them were senthome,

when completed will cause a direct open

whose probable early and extensive
operations will, as a matter of course,
greatly enhance the value of the Bland
tunnel. The further value in developing
this tunnel is apparent in the fact that in
its course it will intersect a number of the
large leads of the camp. Already 700
feet of work is done on this tunnel, which
leaves about 1000 more to complete it..
The Bland tunnel is big proposition
and will warrant more at this time than
perhaps later the expenditure of large
sum to push it to com pletion.-B Bland
