that is miuds and hoarts to match. It uscd
to bo a custom for (icrrnan mothers to say

Thero was n intcrcst in tho silcnt prcscnta

Wo oeonsionally indulge in reiunrks aliout
choirs nnd tinging. Our objeet is (o hclp
make the publlo vrorship of Ootl atlractivo
lo " llioso who nre without. opieaii tor
thoo who ilo not onre to plosd I'or lliein-
selros. If it is iloing good servieo for Uhrist
to stand on tho street oorner nnd sing a
hynin to bring together a oompany to lienr
the wiicl, wliy is it not uoing tsiuauy goou
jcrvico to provido ntlractiro singing for the
ordinary Sabbath scrvices of tho Lord's hotise?
Hut how ehall wo gct attractiro singing?
Somo say it must bo by tho choir only ; oth
crs by the congrcgatiou only. We answer
" Not by cithcr nToue, but by both." This
we will not attempt lo provo by argmiu-nt,
but will cito a einglo cxamplo.
A fcw Sabbaths ngo, the annual collection
for foreign miwiions was takcn at l'urk Strcet
Church, Hoston. Tho choir had sung tho
To Deum ns a voluntary in oiening the
morning scrvico, aud tho subscription papers
wero ctrculatcd iimncdiately after tho first
praycr. While they wero pasn'ng, the 1'as
tor proposod tho ainzitig of a inissionary
hymu. Tho choir lcu, nnd tlio wholo largo
congregation uuitcd, not nominally, but real
ly at first with a little hesitation, as if this
wero not cxaotly in tho ordinary routinc,
but soon with n magnificcnt volumc of sound
and song. Wo do not know what cffect this
had upon tho contributiou, although wo wero
not surpriscd, cubscfiucntly, to learn that it
was larger than usual j but wo know that
tho singing was good, iuspiriug, worshipful,
bccauso wo fcit it.
" Thcrc, that is what a wholo 'conirregitioii
can do. Let all the jienple praiso Him 1"
Ycs : but wait. At tho closa of tho socoud
rjraver. and without any annouucemcnt, tho
choir rose. and, unacconipanieU by nny in
Btrumcnt, sang, iu tho moVt swoct and quiet
tones: . "
' Jcsus, wbo knowa full well
Tbo beart of e ery enint,
Inrltea ua all our fflth to tell i
To pray, nnd never lalnt.
Ile bdwa Illa taeioua cnn
r'e norer pluad In raln i
Tlicn let ua wait IIH bo appe&r,
And proy and pray ajutn."
As wo writa thcso fnmiliar linas, thc ini
pression steals orerus ngain of the infinilc
tcnderness and condcscension of J osus ns wo
were then impressed. We ncvcr bcforu in
our life fclt so fully tho powcr and bcauty of
those vcrscs ; nnd yct they wero sung by a
choir, wliilo " all the pcoplo" kcpt still vcry
still, And they wero suug by what is sup-
posed to bo tho worst of all choirs, a iiuar-
tetto, and a paid ryuartctto, (why not paid if
tho miuistcr is ) They wero sung to nn un.
1 fumiliar.tunc, but they wero sung well, and
sunir to the hcart. It is diflicult to seo how
tho samo effect could havo bcen producod in
any other way. Tho singing of those two
stanzas was a most tiowcrlul manilestation ol
to'divino truth in that assemblv,
Tho sermon followcd ; and, at tho closo of
tho scrvico, tho whole congregation again
lifled up their voiccs in
" From all that dwelt bclon tbe aklea
Let tbo Creator'e prniiw arle."
Wo havo takcn this cxamplo from l'ark-st.
Church bccauso we aro jurt now moro fnmil
iar with lts singing than with that ol nny
otl.cr congregation. It is not cclcbratcd in
this rcspcct, and wo talce llio more pieasuro
in rcferring to it for this reason. Tho sing.
ing in Spurgcon's or licecher's church is too
far nbove tho ordinary reach to bo a good cx
amplo. Let us givo two or thrco hints naturally
suggestcd by this caso.
1. When tho choir sings alone, it should
sing familiar eorit ; otherwiso tho whole
will bo unintclligible, or tho cltect will Uo
marred by tho uso of liooks by tho congrejja
tion. No ehoir causpeak tho words so plain
ly as to rcuder etrango liymns witli any cf.
fect. Lct tho words be iiuniliar to tho peo
ple, and the musio appropriale, whcther n:w
or old.
2. Tlie congregation should uuito with tho
choir in ono of tho carly hymns ns wcll ns
Iho last. It is uttcrly unfair to crowd tho
pcoplo into tho last corncr of tho scrvico.
Wo bclicvo tho contcst bctwcen choirs and
congregation should bo scttlcd by employing
uom j me lormcr ior mc moro ucucniu ser
vicc of sone, tho lattcr for tho grand out
pouring of praiso. If a church cannot havo
both, of courso it must dispcnso with choir
singing, Tho troublo with tuany churchcs
is, that they hnve ncithcr to any good pur
rosc, Tho choir monages to keep tho con'
grcgation silcnt, and inight almost as wcll bo
silent itsclf. Wo hopo for bcttcr days, both
in citr and country, when our choirs shall
cithcr sing part of the timo alone, and sing
wcll, or sliall be contcnt eiuiply to hclp and
lead tho wholo oasomuly ln singing.
