ways been closely joined. No part
of the public service. Is worthier or
more attention than Is this. No bet

Music is the oldest and most naSlr'

the ancient Jewish church song had
its prominent part and place. In the
apostolic church It was evidence.
Down through all the centuries It
has been the service Of song as much
as Of the sermon that has been hon

have been sung into the kingdom as
have been preached In. Look q mo.
ment at the matter Of hymn and
song.
1. The Christian Hymn is the
Highest Expression Of Experience.
Charles Wesley's hymns are largely
geographic. Charlotte Efliott's Just
as I am" Is the expression OF an ex'
perience into which she had Just
come. Cowper,s personal history Is
written IN hs God moves In mys-
terious way" Fanny Crosby has put
her Life into the hymns she wrote.
When ordinary words fail song gives
expression to the deeper emotions or
the soul.
2. The Hymn is a Means OF Great
Influence. Souls have been convert
ed. wanderers reclaimed, and hearts
uprifted more often by the singing or
some hymn than by any other way.
Instances are numerous where the
singing of well-known and ramlllaf
hymns has been attended by remark
able results. On great occasions the
hymn Is the best expressions OF the
thought Of the service.

What Food Economy Means.

Economy in food does not imply pro-
hibition. 1t is neither vegetarianism,
fruitarianism, nutarianism nor any kind
Of 'ism." 1t means simply temperance
in diet, with the application Of avail
able scientific knowledge; the use OF
eason and intelligence, combined with
a due appreciation Of the dignity Of
the body and the necessity Of meeting
the daily wants without imperiling that
high degree of efficiency which helps to
render nal physically and mentally
supreme. Practically this implies the
avoidance Of the large quantities Of
proteid food so commonly made use or
by civilized man, with the substitution
Of a dietary characterized by a pre-
dominance of the lighter vegetable
foods. In this respect it leans some
what toward vegetarianiSm. Il heaV-
Ter meats Of our daily diet Il be adj
