God Loves Harmony.


 I remark also that correc ness ought to be characteristic of church music. While we all ought to take part in this service, with perhaps a few excep- tions, we ought at the same time to cultivate ourselves in this sacred art. God loves harmony, and we ought to love it. There is no devotion in a howl or yelp In this day, when there are so many opportunities of high culture Ill this sacred art, I declare that those parents are guilty of neglect who let their sons and daughters grow up knowing nothing about music. In some of the European cathedraIs the choir assemble every morning and afternoon of every day the whole year to perfect themselves in this art. and shall we begrudge the half hour we spend Friday nights in the rehearsal of sacred song for the sahhafha

 The Bible, Alike great harp with in- gers of inspiration, trembles with 1t. So far back as the fourth chapter of Genesis you find the first organist and harper-Jubal. So far back as the thirty-f first chapter of Genesis you find the first choir. All up and down the Bible you find sacred music-at weddings, at inaugrations, at the tread1ng or the wine press. The He brews understood how to make mu- sical signs above the musical text When the Jews came from their dis Jerusalem, they brought harp and timbrel and trumpet and poured along the great Judaean highways a river of harmony until in and around the tenn pie the wealth of nations song and Rladness had accumulated. In our day we have division of labor in music, and we have one man to make the hymn, another man to make the tune, another man to play it on the piano and another man to sing it. Not so in Bible times. Miriam, the sister of Moses, after the passage of the Red sea, composed a doxology, set 1t to music, clapped 1t on a cymbal and at the same time sang 1t. David, the psalmist, was at the same time poet, musical composer, harpist and singer, and the majority of his rhythm goes vibrating through all the ages.
 There were in Bible times stringcd instruments-a harp of three strings played by fret and bow1.a harp of ten strings, responding only to the fingers of the performer. Then there was the crooked trumpet, fashioned out of the horn of the OK or the ram. Then there were the stssrum sp6 the cymbsls.

The renort Of q s15 600 600 mn,

The report of a SIS, 100000 pur.
chase of coal and mineral lands
furnaces and railroads III upper
East Tennessee and Southwestern
Virginia to great syndicate
which will fully exploit its pur-
chase, means much to the two
states involved and to the whole
South. One thing that is indicat-
ed by this deal is that capitalists
and other developers are giving
more attention to the hitherto
waste but very rich places of the
South, and less to the far West.
And in this connection it may be
stated that there are still other
treasure troves in this section of
the country, some of them in
Georgia, waiting for the diggers
to come along and take out the
wealth.

EATEN BY CANNIBALS.

After escaping death by drown
ing, eleven of the crew of the ship
Manbare were captured and eaten
by cannibals off New Guinea. The
Manbare was bound for Sydney,
Australia, when it was caught in
the terrible gale of December.
Near Cape Nelson it began to sink.
The crew, eighteen all told, left
the vessel in two boats and soon
became separated.
One boat containing twelve men
was finally thrown ashore ten
miles from the cape. The sailors
were seized by natives from the
interior and hurried off TO the
village of the chiefs. One man,
James Greene, escaped.
The sailors were stripped and
bound and killed, one each day.
A wild orgie was practiced in by
at least hundred savages who had
gathered for the feast.
In several cases the sailors we're
tortured by the old women and
children Of the tribe. The eyes of
one were gouged out. The doomed
men stoically watched the elabor-
ate preparations for their death.
A huge pot filled with boiling wa
ter was used for the feast, which
on the first day was prolonged
away into the night.
In most cases the men were be-
headed, their heads being placed
on poles and paraded before the
men who were to suffer the same
fate.
Greene was rescued by steamer
after tramping without food a day
and night to reach the coast.
The scenes of horror he had wit
messed turned his hair snowy
white,

A small church was sadly in
need of general repairs, and a
meeting was held in it with view
of raising funds for that purpose.
The minister having said $500
would be required, a very wealthy
(and equally stingy) member of
the church rose and said he would
give 81. Just as he sat down,
however, lump of plaster fell
from the ceiling and hit him on
the head, whereupon he rose up
hastily and called out that he had
made q mistake-he would give
$50. This was tso much for an
enthusiast present, who forgetful
of everything, called out fervent-
ly: 20, Lord, hit him again!"
