81 The address Of Rev. II. y. AYES was as
Follows:
q Dear friends, l esteem it an honorable
|fnrrilege. ds we'll as n personal pleasure, 10
4respond To your rabbits invitation 10 Wor
Nshlp with YOU aud TO speak TO You a worn
fec on
81 You are glad in the acquisition Of a more
Mnerfect instrument of music to aid and &C
Nrompany you IN your worship Of Almighty
8God Not that such a more per1ect ,a 10
e strument will render your spiritual sacrinct
n of praise more worthy or more perfect II
&the sense of its being more acceptable tf
Him to whom il Is offered, hut more VIZ
$thy in the sense of its being nearer ap
proach to your desire to make the outward
81 form Of your dovotions to God more NJ
Il tingly expressive Of their Inward and spir
Ritual mesning. For such desire to ofel
unto God the hest is a holy aspiration, no
only because 1t Is In keeping with the an
Client Leyitical law that forbade the offer
Il ing Of the blemished and imperfect, bu
n also because It is the natural expression o.
n the instinct Of reverence.
And 1t is that law and that desire {
n doubt not which has served as the motive
81 TO all that long progress OF development
4 10 religious music and the evolution o
4 instruments of music (of which the organ
4 is the highest form from the days o
n Jabsl, son of Lamech, the father of al
a such as handle the harp and fife to th
n present time. And IL Is for this reason, l
seems to me, that the world today mus
q look to your people and the history q
n your ancient race more than to any othe
for the EcOrd of the continuous develop
a ment Of this queen OF all the arts,
4 And Is 1t not in this same holy desire {
4 present urto God the free will Offering o
more perfect and more acceptable worship
4 that fhiS your new instrument will hn
Its truest conservation? For what is In
melody sweetest to the ear of God
To!know that We must look not only I
natule where the law of God is seen 10 rs
the Jaw Of unity and harmony, but W
a music opens 10 us into that ideal realr
Of Spiritual harmors where the moral lay
OF God perfectly prevails.
II Is the sweet concord of spiritual virtue
4 which God delights in--the symphony o
souls living in the unity of fraternal peac
and harmony. q. believe Il. my friends
A y is the sin Of selfshness alone that strike
tne iaise notes and creates dscords /
music Of ne universe; 1t is not our dii
10 the moral law Of God. Some years ag
