Chureh.Musfc.


 Morality and music have the same ideal. And the church which will teach the truth of Christ in this world of sin will have her organs tuned with the heavenly. and her music will not be made to please the ear of man. but to delight the ear of God No more sub lime language exists than the passage in the commuhion office. "Iherefore with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven We laud and magnify tiny glorious name. The church that speaks these words is which must accord with such thought and language must De the music of a mind and heart which belong unto the Lord God Almighty.-Bishop Burgess of Long Island, Episcopalian.
 Spiritual Vision.
 We cannot understand what is purely spiritual. If God would reveal himself to us he must appear ill symbols, like the flame in the bush on Horeb's hill and the pillar of fire that went before Israel by night and the cloud that hood ed Sinai and that went before Israel by day God in heaven is God above us; God in nature is God around us; God in providence is God beyond us; God in Christ is God in person, recon cling the world to himself But God in the spirit is God in us, revealing unto Us the things that are true. Again, the spirit will inflame afre4h the old truth and lead us to the new truth what the lights in the cathedral do for the magnificent windows, showing up the designs and the lines and every tint and the beautiful ptcturess-Rev A. W. Claxon. Baptist. St. Louis.
 Coincidence and Religion.
 You cannot legtAate conscience into nat >n. You can0rk teach 1t through any secular Influence, for it comes from and with the soul that God gave IS irrespective of laws or flags or constitutions. and 1t iB devek oped through raigioo. wlkoh has to deal with the evolution of 6nsclence and the salvation of the soul. With out religion conscience becpues atro- phied and gives place to mere eugency and the ethics of the struggle of life. Conscience. thea, is the Jaw within the law, and h. is the best supporter of democracy who "reverences hA con- science as his king" for in this case at least .'such king can do no wrong" And his conscience is best informed who reverences the author thereof, who recognizes his will as the supreme law of conscience and who knows that he alone is great and his empire alone is lasting. J. J. Glennon, Ro man Catholic. St. Louis.
 The subliAity of Jesus.
 The spiritual attitude of Jesus seems to me slmpl; perfect. I cannot under stand how any age in the future it can be outgrown. Was there ever any thing diviner in the history of man than that simple. childIke, perfect trust in the Father--trust for every day, trust for every night. a trust when he was hungry. trust when he was lonely and sorrowful, trust when the great hopes of his life bad been dashed and seemed to bs passing away: think there is nothing. so sub- lime in the history of all the past as that figure of Jesus CD the cross that Friday afternoon outside the walks of the city. surrounded by the Roman sol Giers and he mob lie. the gentle teacher. he who loved his friends and who so love. his enemies that as he was swooning into death he said, "Fa ther. forgive them: they know not what they do;" hanging there with all his hopes an apparent failure, wondering whether God himself had not forgotten and let go his hand. and yet with a trust that still clung tn the darkness and the weakness so that he fainted tAr1~@h death into immortal triumph. --nev Dr. Minot ].
