INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC,
Reformed Presbyterians Now Favor
Its Use

NEW YORK, May 20.-After an agitation
lasting for several years, the general synod
of the Reformed Presbyterian Church de-
cided today that instrumental music might
be used in the services Of churches of the
denomination. The new moderator, Rev.
Samuel Pamsey of Los Angeles, Cal, pre-
sided, and the retiring moderator, Rev. Will
liam j. Smiley of Sparta, ILL.,, introduced
the subject by moving resolution in OPP
position to the proposed move, the matter
having been made a special order for the
day
substitute resolution. which would
authorize the session of each church to
settle the matter for it's own people, was
moved by DIR. David Mckinney of Gin
cinnati There was then a warm discussion,
Rev Thomas Waters of Pittsburg and Rev.
]. B. Steele of this city speaking in favor Of
the substitute. Rev. DR.. John Afford OF
Beaver Pa. opposed It,
The substitute was passed only after
preamble, moved by ]. L. Richie OF Lis
bon, Ohio, had been prefxed, and special
condition had been added. on motion of
James w. Houston Of Pittsburg. AS finally
passed the measure was as follows:
without hereby approving the action of
those who have introduced the use of in
strumental music without waiting for the
permission of the general synod.
Resolved, That the question of inst.u-
mental aid in the prayer service be left to
the discretion of the sessions Of the con-
gregations under our control.

difficult stations, unrequited toilers, dis
couraged lives, look up; the day of recon-
pense is at hand. The Lord will more than
amply pay you for all you have borne and
struggled here below. I'VE shall receive
the reward of inheritance: for We serve the

of the contamination. Moses chose rather to
suffer af1iction with the people of God than
to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.
His reason for such choice was 'he had
respect unto the recompense of the re-
ward" May we be likewise exercised. God
pity the man whose life is sef-centered, and
which is bounded by the narrow horizon OF
time and sense.

Art In Public Buildings.
From the Chicago Record-Herald.

Satisfactory as the present building ac-
tivity In Chicago is in some respects, 1t
olives no promise of any general and har-
monious design Each skyscraper is an In
eenendent creation, having no relation to
any other and for an extreme contrast
there is the resort to low monumental
buildings that are completely dwarfed and
ont of keeping with their surroundings.
We are reminded of these incOngrufties

which comments on the movement for the
Identification of cities that Is making
great progress throughout the country, and
especially by references to the improve

and Cleveland. These present at least ef-
fective plans for an artistic grouping OF
splendid public buildings In which the wnoie

Taking the case Of Cleveland, 1t appears
that post Office court house, city hall, pub

omen squares and broad roadways Ana
to secure the best results a committee OF
experts has been established with power OF
veto and general control.
In Chicago on the contrary, there Is
danger that the public buildings will be
in the haphazard style of the private
buildings. The library and post Office al
ready erected have no part in any COM
mon scheme, and the most conflicting views
are heard as to the new court house and
city hail. 1t Is question whether they
shall be built on the same quare or sep
arated, whether they shall be of a monu-
mental scharacter or severely businesslike.
But If the opportunity is lost for the larger
Improvement that would bring all public
buildings into an effective grouping, it
would seem that we should certainly insist
on something more than mere business

THE CRADLE OF TEARS.
Crib in Which Are Placed the Griefs
of the World.

From Tom watson's Magazine.
There is a cradle within the door Of one
of the great institutions of New York be-
fore which a constantly recurring tragedy
is being enacted It is a plain cradle quite
simply draped in white, but with such q
look of cozy comfort about 1t that one
would scarcely suspect it to be cradle OF
sorrow.
And this cradle is the most useful and IN
way, the most inhabited cradle in he
world. Day by day. and year after year, 1t
is the recipient Of more small wayfarinS
souls than any other cradle in the history
of the race In II the real children or sor-
row are placed and over il more tears are
shed than IL 1t were an open grave.
1t is the place where annually Loo FOUND
,,nps are placed-the silent witnesses OK
more truly heartbreaking scenes than any
other cradle since the world began. For
nearly thirty-fve years 1t has stood where
II does today ready-draped, open, while az
many thousand mothers have stolen shame
facedly in and, after looking hopelessiy
about have laid their helpless offspring
within its depths.
For thfrty-fiye years, winter and summer
in the bitterest cold and the most stihing
heat IL has seen them come-the poor, the
rich the humble the proud; the beautifui,
the homely-and one by one they have LAID
their children down and brooded over them,
wondering whether 1t were possible for hui
man love to make so great a sacrifice ana
still the tragedy repeats itself, and year
after year, and day after day the unlocked
door IL opened and dethroned virtue entere
affection. and a child IL robbed Of an hon
orable home.

Colossians Sd CHI. cath v.-"For ye serve the Lord

These words form part of the Apostle
Paul's wholesome advice to slaves who had
become converts to the Christian faith.
Notwithstanding their wretched lot and the
gross injustice to which they were subject
ed. marked fidelity even to severest and
most exacting tasks was enjoined upon
them. There to be no Sinking of work
however unpleasant or cruelty enforced, but
everything was to be done unto the Lord
His claims were to be given paramount con-
sideration. and every duty was to be per-
formed as act of service to and for
Him. Strange they are never once urged
to resist the terrible thraldom nor seek
by revolutionary methods to deliver them
selves from the base serv:tude which OPP
pressed them.
Christianity, especially in its earliest en-
terprises did not wage warfare upon po-
lltcal or social wrong by direct onslaughts
or by violent attacks upon systems of en-
trenched iniquity. 1t sought rather to af-
feet grac, ously the lives of those who sup

thus to compass their radical reformation

From the Bristol Observer.
Andrew C. Paist of Mechanicsville, Bucks
county, has a beautiful wild duck among
his flock of Pekin ducks. 1t alighted last
November in a state of bewilderment and
exhaustion and was easily captured. Its
wings were clipped SO that it could not fly,
and 1t soon became domesticated among
the tame ducks, the most serious difficulty,
that of getting used to corn diet, being
overcome by degrees. During March it laid
twenty-eight eggs, twenty-three Of which

ducks, and Mr.. Paist is eagerly waiting the

wild, half domestic ducklings will be like.

MEN HAVE
MORE REPOSE
THAN WOMEN

Much has been said and written in
praise of what is at once the rarest ana
most desirable characteristic Of wom-
ankind-the supreme quality of repose.
There are two varieties of repose-
one the simplest inertia which results
from stupidity; the other the product
Of perfect balance, the equilibrium that
results from self perfectly controlled.
They are often impossible to distin-
guish one from the other, and. because
OF this difficulty, man who admires
the serene type often finds himself
married to a woman whom he thought
personified it, only to discover that she
has the stupid irnmobility that results
from a mind too small for an idea to
turn around in.
But even this is probably to be pre-
ferred in life association to the un-
balanced nerves that so often mark the
more intellectual woman. For she Is
apt to make a very small extra allow
ance of gray matter to apology for
every shortcoming under the sun and
to feel that a smattering of Greek or
Latin atones for the inability to make
a bed or cook a beefstake-
We are all more or less born 70 re-
pose. There is nothing more placid un-
der the sun than perfectly healthy,
contented baby. But few of us are in
later life able to retain even trace
of that serenity, deep and unmoved as
the surface Of woodland pool on a
mid-June afternoon.
There are some stoics who believe
that it is the part of the hero to meet
misfortune with a smile. But this
savors more or less of the theatrical,
and seems rather to be OVERRIDING it.
To greet it calmly with the poise of a
we'll balanced character that surveys
at once the extent of the disaster and
the possibilities of remedy. seems the
better part. And this only the quality
of repose will enable us to do.
Men have more repose than women.
Perhaps the superior endowment is not
a natural inheritance, but the result
of business training, and the systematic
foretnought of good and evil fortune
that 1t entails.
Women fret and worry continually
where men haven't time to. And worry
is the death knell of repose.
To the beauty culturist pining for
adipose it should be mentioned that in
repose lies the supreme flesh food, and
that she who has taught herself i'm
mun:ty from trifiing cares may become
a veritable Hebe without the aid of
gymnastics or special diet.
1t may be that to be just naturally
stupid is half the battle. But stupidity
is often the better part Of feminine
valor, anyhow, and it yet remains to
be demonstrated that 1T is not as we'll
