The Importance of Sacred Music and Some
of the Obstacles to Its Advancement --A.
Singing Church is. Always a Successful
One.
Washington, Sept. 26.= -Dr. Talmage
in this discourse rallies the *churches to
more hearty congregational- singing, and
calls upon instruments of music to join
in the praise of God. The text is II
Chronicles v,. 13, "It came even to pass,
as the trumpeters and singers were as
one, to make one sound to be heard in
praising and thanking the Lord."
T1ie temple was done. It was the very
chorus of all magnificence and pomp.
Splendor crowded against splendor. It
was the diamond necklace of the earth.
From the huge pillars crowned with
leaves and flowers and rows and snuffers'
made out of purd gold, everything was
as complete as the God directed architect
could make it. It seemed as. if a vision
from heaven had alighted on the mounes
tains.. The day for dedication came.
Tradition says that there were in and
around about the temple on that day
2.00,000 silver trumpets, 40,000 harps,
40,000 timbrels and 200,000 singers. So
that all modern demonstrations at Dus-
seldorf or Boston seem nothing compared
with that. As this great sound surged up
amid the preolous stones of the temple,
it must have seemed like the river of life
dashing against the amethysh of the wall
of heaven. The sound arose, and God,
as if to show that he was pleased with
the rausio which his ohildren make in
all ages, dropped into the midst of the
temple a cloud of glory so overpowering
that the officiating priests Were obliged
to stop in the Midst of the services.

There has been el -nail disoussion as to
where music was born. 1- think that at
the beginning, "when the morning stars
sang together and all the sons of God
shouted for joy," the earth heard the
echo. The cloud on which the angels
stood to celebrate the creating was the
birthplace of song. The stars that glitter
at night are only so many keys of celes-
tial pearl on which God's fingers -play the
music of the. spheres. Inanimate nature
is full of God's stringed and winged. in-
struments. Silence itself --perfect silence
-is only a Musical rest in God's great
anthem of worship. Wind among the
leaves, insect humming .in the summer
air, the rush of billow upon the beach,
the ocean far out sounding its everlast-
ing psalm, the bobolink on the edge of
the forest, the quail whistling- up from
the grass, are music. While visiting
Blackwell's island I heard, coming from
a window of the lunatic asylum, a very
sweet song. It was sung by one who had
lost her reason, and I have oome to be-

obstacles in the way of the advancement
of this sacred music, and the first is that

even the sounds in nature that are dis-

iscordant and repulsive make harmony in
God's ear. You know that you may
'come so near to an orchestra that the
sounds are painful instead of pleasurable,
and I think that we stand so near de-
vastating storm and frightful whirlwind
we cannot 'hear that which makes to
God's ear and the ear of the spirits above
us a music as complete as it is tremend-
ous.
I propose to speak about sacred music,
first showing you its importance- and
then stating some of the obstacles to its
advancement.
- Sacred Music. .
I draw the first argument for the im-
portance of sacked music from the fact
that God commanded it. Through Paul
he tells us to admonish one another in
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
through David he cries out, "Sing ye to
God, all ye kingdoms of the earth." And
there are hundreds of other passages I -
might name, proving that It is as much
a man's duty to sing as it is his duty to
pray. Indeed I think there are more com-
mands in the Bible to sing than there -
are to pray. God not only asks for the
human voice, but for the instruments of
music. He asks for the cymbal and the
harp and the trumpet. And I suppose
that in the last days of the church, the
harp, the lute, the trumpet and all the
instruments of music that have given
their chief aid to the theater and bac-
chanal will be brought by their masters
and laid down at the -;'feet of Christ and
then sounded in the' -'church's triumph
on her way from suffering into glory.
"Praise ye the Lord 1" Praise him with
your voices. Praise him with stringed
instruments and with organs.
I draw another argument for the im-
portance of this exercise from the im-
pressiveness of the exercise. You know
something of what secular musio has
achieved. You know it has made its im-
pression upon governments, upon laws,
upon literature, upon whole generations.
One inspiring national air is worth 30.-
000 men as a - standing army. There
comes a time in the battle when one
bugle is worth 1,000 muskets. In the'
earlier part of our civil war the gavern-
went proposed to economize in bands of
music and - many of them were sent
home, but the generals.in the army sent
word to Washington: "You are making
a very great mistake. We are falling
back and falling ` back. We have not
enough mission!, I have to tell you that
no nation or church can afford to severe-
ly economize in music.
Why should we rob the programmes of
worldly gayety when we have so many
appropriate songs and tunes composed in
our own day, as well as that magnifi-
cent inheritance of church psalmody
which has come down fragrant with the
devotions of other generations -tunes no
more worn out than when our great-
grandfathers climbed up on them from
the church pew to glory? Dear old souls,
how they used to sing! And in those
days there were certain tunes married
to certain hymns, and while they have
lived in peace a great while, these two
old people, and we have no right to
divorce them. Born as we have been
amid this great wealth of. church music,
augmented by the compositions of artists
In our day, we ought not to be tempted
out of the sphere of Christian harmony
and try to seek unconsecrated sounds..
It is absurd for a millionaire to steal.
Many of you are illustrations of what
a sacred song can do. Through itou
were brought into the kingdom of Jenns
Christ. You stood out against the warn-
ing and the argument of the pulpit, but
when in the sweet words of Charles -
Wesley, or John Newton, or Toplady, the
love of Jesus was sung to your soul,
then you surrendered, as an armed castle
that could not bb taken by a host lifts
its window to listen to a harp's trill.
A Sacred Song. -
There was a Scotch soldier dying in
New Orleans and a Scotch minister
ligious. Refined art has opened places
where music has been secularized, and
lawfully so. The drawing -room, the con-
cert, by the gratification of pure taste
and the production of harmless amuse-
ment and the improvement of talent,
have become very forces in the advance-
meat of our civilization. Music has as
much right to laugh in Surrey, gardens
as it has to pray in St. Paul's. In the
kingdom of nature. we have the glad
filing of the wind as well as the long
meter: psalm of the thunder, but while
all this' is so, every observer has noticed
that this art, which God intended for the
improvement of the ear, and the voice,
and the head, and the heart, has often
been impressed into the service of error.
Tartini, the musical composer, dreamed
one night that Satan- snatched from his
hand an instrument and played upon it
something very sweet -a dream that has
often been fulfilled in our day, the voice
and the instrument that ought to- have
your place in the mu
in at the close a bar
three schools of singi
German /school, the
the French school of singing. Now, I
would like to adn. a fourth school, and
that is the school of -Christ. The voice
of a contrite, brokeu heart, although it
may not be able to stand human criti-
cism, mekes better music: to God's ear
than the most artistic performance when
the heart is wanting. God calls on the
beasts, on the cattles on the dragons to
praise him, and we ought not to be be-
hind the cattle and the dragons.
Let All Sing.
Another obstacle in the advancement
of this art has been the erroneous notion
that this part of the service could be con-.
ducted by delegations. Churches have
said, "011, what an easy thne we shall
have! The minister will do the preaoh-
ing and the choir will do the singing,
and we will have nothing to do." And
you know as well as I that there are a
great multitude of churches all though
this land where the people are not ex-
pected to sing. The whole work is done
by delegation of four or six or ten per-
sons, and the audience are silent. In
such asoluirch in Syracuse an old elder
persisted io singing, and so the choir
appointecn a committee to go and ask the
elder if he weuld not stop. You know
that In many churches the choir are ex-
pected to do all the singing, and the
great mass of the people are expected to
be silenb, and if you utter your voice
you are interfering. /n that church they
eel scale or come
ehind. There are
g, I am told -the
talian school and
stand, the four, with opera glassea
dangling at their side, singing "Rock of
ages, cleft for me," with the same spirit
that the night before on the stage they
took their part in the "Grande Duch-
ene" or "Don Giovanni."
My Christian friends, have we a right I
to delegate to others thn discharge of this
duty which God demands of us? Suppose
that four woodthrushes propose to do all
the singing some brIght day when the
woods are ringing with bird voices. It is
decided that four woodthrushes shall do°
all the singing in the forest. Let all
other voices keep silent. How beautifully
the four waible! It is really fine music.
But how long will you -keep the forest
still? Why, Christ would came into that
forest and look up as he looked through
the olives, and he would wave his band
and say, "Let everything that bath breath
praise' the Lord,' and, keeping time
CRID0_ t.0 give hire the consolations of with the stroke of innumerable wings.
We want to rouse all our families upon

ildish petulance, obduracy and in -
actability would be sonthed if we had
re einging in the- household, and then
✓ little ones would be prepared for the
eat congregation on 'Sabbath day, their
ioee uniting with our voices in the
aises of tile Lord. After a shower there

There will be a great revolution on

11 come down by his spirit and rouse
u the old hymns and tunes that have
n t been more than half awake since the
t me of our grandfathers. The silent
ws in the church will breek forth into
usio, and when the conductor takes his
p ace on the Sabbath day there will be a
great hest of iroices rushing into the
harmony. My Christian friends, if we
h ve no taste for this service on earth,
at will we do in heaven, where they

01 singing to -day might be like the

mine of us has fully performed. And

After the -man was taken to his cell

When the warden had left the cell, the

Trembling with emotion, he soon after

Whisky in Medicine.
A convention of the -American Medical
Temperance Association was held recent-
ly on Staten Island. Members of the
association are pledged to personal total
abstinence, but are nob. reetrained from
the use of alcoholic stimulants in their
practice. although its use is opposed by
a large majoritn of the inembers. Dr. T.
D. Crothers, of Hartford, who presided,
said physiciaos had outgrown the theory
that -a habit was good because every one
had He said it was an exploded
theory that a thaspoonful of alcohol
would producie a gallon of energy.
Dr. D. A. Elsworth said he had not
used alcohol th any form in his Practice
for 15 years and had been able to ebtain
better results, particularly in cases of
typhoid fever.
Dr. Shepherd, of Brooklyn, said that
alcohol passedethrough the hninart sys-
tem without undergoing any enange. Its
action was to paralyze the nerve centers.
One grain of wheat contained -more nu-
trition than a keg of beer and a beefsteak
more nutrition than a -gill of Wine. The
administration of stiumiants to children
was particularly disastrout. he said, be-
cause the tissues of a child were easily
destroyed by it.
Dr. ,A. M. Lesser, surgeon at the New
Yank Red Cross horapital, declared that
It was the duty of phnsicians and
preachers to'eredicate alcohol from gen-
eral medical practice. Since the opening
of the Red Crises hospital in 1892, he
said, over 1,000 cases had been treated
without the use -of alcohol, and the
,mortality rate had been only 1 per cent.
Sufficient Unto the Day.
In accomplishing your day's work you
have simply to take a step at a time. To
take that step wisely is all that you need
think about. If I am climbing a moun-
tain, to look down may make inte dizzy
to look too far up may maloe me tired
and discouraged. Take no anxious
thought for the morrow. Sufficient for
the day -yes, and for each hour in the
day -is the toil or the thial thereof.
There is not a child of God in this world
who is strong enough to stand the strain
of to -day's dutleg and all the load'of to-
morrow's anxieties piled upon the top of
them, Paul himself would have broken
down if he had attempted the experi-
ment. We have a perfect right to ask our
Heavenly Father fon strength equal th
the day; but we have no right to ask
Him for one extra ounce of strength for
anything beyond it. When the morrow
comes, grace will come with it, sufficient
for its tasks or for its troubles.
Injured by Drink.
I should join issue at once with those
people who believe that intellectual work
cannot be done so well without wine or
alcohol. I should deny that pronosition
and hold the very opposite. All alcohol
and all things of an .alcoholic nature in-
jure the nerve tissues, protempore, if not
altogether. You may quicken the opera-
tions, but you do not improve' them. It
is one of the comMonest Ultimo; in Eng-
lish society that people are injured by
drink without being drunkards. It goes
on so quietly that it is di flicult to ob-
serve. A man's nearest friends fre quently
will net observe it. -Sir William Gull,

Action of Alcohol.
German chemists now say that about
90 per cent. of all alcohol swallowed is
turned into carbonic acid and water in
the system, and that alcohol robs the
cells of the oxygen required fOr their
life. Drunkenness is caused, they say, by
the action of the excess of carbonic aoid
in the blood upon the brain.
