Two thousand years before Christ the Egrp- tlans practiced thi art. t'ytbagorae learned it. Ltvrot of Hermione wrote ays en It 1'lato and Aristotls intro- duced It Into their schools, but 1 hav* not much Interest in that. My chief in- terest Is In tbe music of the Bible.

In our day we nave a division of labor in music, and w have, one man to make the hymn, another , man to make tbe tune, another man to play It on tbe piano and another man to sing it. Nut so In Bible Mine*. Miriam, tbe sister of Moses, after the pawage of tbe Red Sea. composed a doxoloffy. *st it I to music, clapped II on a cymbal and at tbe same time sang it Ihivld. tbs psalm- ist, was at tbe same time poet, musical compoeer harpist and singer, and the ma.onty of his rhythm goes vibrating through all the ages.

Hsndel and Moiart and Bach and l>ur- ante and Wolf and scores of other ajen and women have given the beet part of their genius to church music.

Now, my frientis, how are we to decl.le what it appropriate, espevla'lv for church music" Tber* may be a great many dlffsreBcen of opinion. In some uf the oburchet they prefer a trained choir: in others they prefer the meloJcon, the harp, the cornet, the organ: in other places they think tbee* things are th invention of the devil Some would have a musical Instrument played so loud yon cannot utaml it, and others would have it played so soft you cannot bear It. Some think a musical Instrument ought to be played only in tbe Interstices of worship arid then wi'h Indescribable Bftneas. while others are not satisfied unless there he tMrtltng contrasts and staccato passage* that make tbe audience jump, with great eves and hair on end. as from a vision of the witch ef Kndor. But. while tht-re may be great varieties of opinion in regard to music. It seams to me that tbe irenral spirit of the word of God Indicate* what oogbl to be tbe gieal character^ toe of cbnroh music.

And in those eays Uiare were certain tunes married to certain hymns, and they have lived in peace a great while, these two old peop.e. and we have no right to divorce them. "What God bath joined together let no man pat asunder Born as we nave been, amid this great wealth of cbnrcb music, aug- mented by tbe compositions of artists in our day. we ought not lo be tempted out of tbe sphsre of Christian harmony and try to te*k uncontooratod sounds.

Again. I remark church music mas* b* congregational. This opportunity must be brought down within th* rang* of tbe whole audien< < e.

What an easy kind of church It mu.t b* where tbe minister Joes all the preaching and tb* elders all the praying and the choir all tb* tinging!
