Sermon
By Rev.
Prank Dc Wltt Talmatfe. D. D.
New York. Marcb 21).?lu this 6er
luon tho preachor tells of the power of
song as an iufluence on buniun life and
rhraclrr and wpaelally of gospei song
as a tneaus of winning men from sln
to righteoiisuess. Tbe text is I Chron.
vl. 31. "And these are tbey wbom Da
vid set over the aervlce of song In the
bouse of the I.ord."
I well reiuembcr a Sunday I onca
epent upon the roof of the cathedral at
Miiun. I had been away from home
for tnauy weeks aud was very lonely
and hoinesick. l-'urtheruiore, I waa
buugry for an old faahloned Chrlettan
aervlce of tbe type of tbe American
lueetlng house. 1 bnd been ao long
wituessing the Europeandesecratlon of
tbe Snbbatb that 1 yearued for tbe slm
p!e service of my owu home church. 1
eutered tbe cnthedral of Milau that
uiorniiig boping tbat my louglng for
worship mlgbt be gratifled; but, alas,
noue of it was there! That huge ca
thedra! ls capable of boldiug 40,000
WOWjhlpera. Thousnuds of people were
in tbe building that morning, but only
a little hnudful were seated about the
pulpit. Most of tbe people lnside the
ehureb were tnurists wanderlng about
examiniug a statue bere, a tomb there,
a bi'uutiful coIuuju beyoud. Sick at
heart. I turued away and began to
cllinb tba stairs whicb led up to ahe
roor. Higher uml liii:lior 1 weut until
I sc.'int'd to bave |ef| (he world behind.
Aloue 1 was wnlking upou those lofty
beigbts auild tbe marble statues when
suddeuly 1 stopped short Seemingly
fioiu every where aud yet from no
wbere in partlcular the aweetest an
tbem was rising in tha upper alr.
l.lke tbe suiumer wiud which ktaaed
uiy ebeek, I eouid not tell from whence
lt eauie. Tben as the volcea roae and
fell aud linaliy died away in a plain
tive wbisper I said to myself, "That
inust bave beeu like tbe alnging at tha
old temple of Jerusnletn." Itaoeinedaa
tbougb choir loft was tnking up tbe
refraln of choir loft, and the great
Asaph himself. the cblef of all tbe mu
siciaus und siugers wbom Davld ap
|K>inteil. was leadiug in tbe service of
soug.
Sittiug tbere tbat Sunday afteruoon
ou tbat Milau roor 1 tbougbt of that
aerviee of siugers in Jcrusalem 51,000
years ago aud of the Biuglng of the
loug successiou of all tbe generations
of siugers tbat in the Cbristlan church
bave wou their trlumpha during the
past centurlea. It seeiued as if they
were all united in one great service of
song iu stupciidous harmonics, for
wherever you go you bud tho love of
uiusie. Tbe Euglish plowboy aings aa
be drlves his teaui. Tho Scotcb hlgh
lauder uiakes tbe glens aud gray
uioors BMftMi with bis beautiful
songs. The muleteer of Spain cares
not who *its ou Ibe tbroue or slands
beblnd it If tbey will let bim have his
early morulug carol. Tbe vlntager of
Siclly bas liis eveuiug byiun even bo
alde tho fire of tbe burniug mouut.
Tbe lishermcn of Naples bas bis boat
soug to which bis roekiug boat beats
tiiue ou that beautiful sea, aud tho
gondolier of Venice tslill keeps up his
uiiduight sereuade. So wbeu travcl
lng by laud or by sea we find tbe ln
uate love of music waviuu her magtc
waud over the eradle as well as in tbe
evening twlligbt or tho grave. Aud iu
?pired poetB and musiclaus of tbe past
and the preaent bave lueiely baruessed
up tbat innate love of tho beart of man
and used it for God and t'or heaven.
A Talk About Music.
Today. God willing, I waut to lead
you away from pulplt aud lecteru. I
waut to lfad you away from altar and
fhaacal apd out of the church audl
toriuin aud have you slt with iue aa I
aat that day upon the roof oi the Mllan
cathedral aud give your thoughts to
the aweet sounda lu which the church
lu all tlnies has given praiae to God.
1 waut to have a llttle uulet talk with
you upou the lufluence of gospel song.
Aud after this talk is ended I want
you to go hoiue and reverently take
dowu your hyiun books and gather
your ehildron about you aud teach them
to siug praises to God and utter ln
tuneful words the love of Christ for
all men. "And these are they whpm
l>avld set ovcr the serviee of song ln
the house of the Lord."
Now, why did David appolnt musl
cians over tlie serviee of song ln the
tasapltl rirst, aacanaaa music is a com
blnation of benuties in sounds, and uo
tuan can truly come to the higher
C'hiistian life until he learus to appro
eiate the bcauties of all God'a cre
ations. God doos not simply say to
man. "I am God, ereator and ruler;"
but he aaya, "I want you to notice that
1 have made everythiug beautiful ln
its time." Thns Jesus bade us look at
the lily or the wild flowcr of the
field aud observe tiie care with which
God had prodiiced a masterpieca ln
coiora. He mukes tbe leaf of that wlld
llower ao beautiful that artists for cen
turiea have trled iu vain to reprodqee
lt? harmonioa. Oh, tbe marvelona
bleadlug of coiora In the leaf of one
ltttle daffodll! Then think of God'*
architecture! What is the cathedral of
8t Peter ln Rome, or the cathedral at
*^?logne, or any of our architectnral
maaterpieees, iu comparison with the
granoeur of the Alps or the beautles of
the Grand canyon? God's love of
beauty ahows itself here, as it doea in |
the flewers that are in these gardens
agaln preparing to make the world a
glorioua garden. We know from all nla
works that he lovea beauty and are
sure that when we strlve to make his
worahlp aweet and harmonioua with
hia gift of voice and with mualcal in
struments we are pleaaing him.
Ia not tbe voice of a great congrega
tion llfting ita soug in praiae like the
sound of many watere? Have you ever
noticed how many times the Bible
tella us to alng the prataes of God!
Not once, bot many times, is the com
mandment given. "Slng" ia the word.
"Let everythlng that hath breath praiae
tbe Lord." When the time of worahlp
whleh we spend in the Lord's house ia
so precious, would God be wllling to
waste any of the time of church serviee
in slnging if music was not a dlvine
means of spiritual grace? Yes, here
after we must look upon music as a
preacher. We must reverently conaider
our liymu books as second only in im
portanee to the holy Bible itself. God
has placed his divlne approval and in
dorsoment upon them.
The Importanoa of Mutic.
Why doea God houor aacred music iA
the salvatlon of inen?This fact should
l?e eaaily nua]yz?^ahen you open any
hynin book and b?gtn to slng the grand
old songs wuleh have eome ringlng
dawa taa earridara of the taaatartaa
Whnt is taa kayaota of nlaa tenths?
ajra, nlnety-nlne bundredtha?of the
liyrnus wbit-h are song? God's wrath?
*^ > it f< <;?><!'? lava 01 coaraa there
:i.o of tbe old hyimie which con
tain warninx* to the slnncr, but in
nearly all the hytnns thnt we love the
icntral mamiet of our nffection is the
stnry they coutalu of the cross and
God's protectiug eare for his children.
Ilell and the baffrata of future punlsh
inent may llft their red lights of warn
iug, but it Is only the cross of Chrlst
that aaa make nicn cllng to God as a
henvonly Father. Just read over the
favorite songs- of your hymn book and
see if what I say is not true. And
ihls ie tbe reason why the song which
is sung nfter tho sermon ofteu does
more good than the whole sermon,
upon which the minister has expended!
weeks of labor. Why? Because the
preacher too often wields the gospel
bludgeon. Ile ls bound Jo declare tbe
whole couusel of God, and sometlmes
lt must sound harsb. Ile says, "The
end of sln ls death, and God will not
by any ineaas accept the Unpenitent."
Then some aweet tbroated songstreas
arises iu the cboir loft and ltfts up her
voice in praiae to hlra for his mercy
ln redetuptlon. As tbe sweet mcssage
of Gotl's love wiups its way to the
heait of tbe worshipers men say, "I
will do this not because I fear bell, but
because Christ died for me and be
eau-e Christ loves me." Was not this
fact damoaatrated in the graat aarvtoaa
of Darlfkt L. Moody?
Moody and Sankey.
No iutclIiKont man cau study the
work of Amork-u's greatest cvangcl
istie preachor unless at tbe same time
he follows the wonderful career of
Amerlca's moal wonderful gospel siug
er. "YVbat do you tbink of tbe work
of Ira D. Sankey V I asked one of the
greatest aad most influential miulsters
of the weat "He ia emphatically the
messenger of geutleness. This fact
was never better illustrated than by
comparing the work of a Moody aud
a Sankey." "Great team that," 1 said;
"Yes, a great team." Why? Because
each man's work supplemented tbe
work of the otber man. Moody was
an earnest, conscientious preachor.
Moody would atir an audieuce until
men and women could sea their slns
marchlng before tbem ln au nppalllng
proceaslon and they could renlize the
perii of their conditiou. Then Saukey
would sbog of the life line of the nlne
ty and nine aud the love of God touch
ed the hearta of men until the whole
audiencc would be melted into tears.
Moody was essentlally the plower and
the sower. Ira D. Sankey was the
renper. He was the one who could
softon the bcart nnd make sinncrs feel
the love of God by tbe power of gospel
song. The plowing bad to be done.
Each man supplemented tbe work of
the otber man. Moody and Sankey
fonned tbe most poteut evaugelistie
team of tbe past eentury.
But there is another reason why gos?
pel singinj: has been baptized by the
Holy Spirit for tlie salvatiou of men.
Gospel singing stiinulates tbe worship
er to do somethlug for Christ It is his
part of the church service. The mln
lster uiay be praylng. but the members
of the cou>;rogation may not be follow
lag liim in liis prayers. YYbile the niln
Isler is proachiug the solemn faccd
oldor sitting before him may be plan
ning how he is jroing to run his busi?
ness tha i:.\t day. That was a qtiaint
aud beantil'ul compliment which Mark
Twaln KJive to his minlster BOOM tlmo
ngo. The great bumorist inet the
pteacbtr at the door of the church aft
er tbe sermou auil said: "My dear doc
tor. you will bave to make your ser

afford to come to church nny more.

spoke in jcst is only too luio of sonie
kwarera. IVbetbrr it is tlie haatl of tho
minlster or not. one iact Is oertulu:
Many a nianbani baa pfminad out his
business deais duriug tbe Sunday

mother has taken a sbort cat nap dur

the aama apirttnal Influeaea for good

gatbered the rbltdrea about her every
Sunday affaraooo to siug tho ajoapal
hymus.
But there Ia nnother truth which
comes anrgfng ov?>r me with over
whehulng powar when I think of tha
dlvine porpoaa of sacred song. That ia
the tbought that the great hymnolo
glats have always been the gospel
teachers who have been able to over
leap all the barrlere of aectarlan blg
otry and uarrow ininded creed*. If
the great hyanoologiats have accom
pllsbed no other good at least they
have taught ua that Christ has many
other sheep who do not belong to our
aectarlan fold. In olden times the
Episcopallan reetor would not allow
the Preabyterlau paator to entor his
chancel. And the Tresbyterian and
the hard shell Baptist were just as
blgoted In their way as their Episco?
pallan brotliers. But no sectarian blg
otry has been able to monopoiize the
makers of aacttitl song. in the secta?
rian churehes we have "splte feuces"
for every one except for our paata nnd
hymnologlsts. Itead over. if you will.
the biographies of the gieatesf of our
gospel composers. They beloug to all
churehes.
Charles Wesley may never have been
allowed to preaeh lu Westraiuster ab
bey. but his graal byaaa, "Jesus, Lavar
of My Soul.'* has been suug there a
thousand times. Aud Charles Wealey
was a Methodist. Who wUs Bay Pai
mer. the autlior of "My Faith Looka
l'p to TheeV" A Congrogatiouallsk
Who was Horatlus Bouar, tbe author
of "I Bay My Sins on Jesus?" A
Scoteh Praabytariapj. Who was James
Moiitgomery. the author of "Hail to
the Lords Anointe<l?" He was the aon
of a Moravian preaeher. Yet all these
singlug evangelists, with their many
dln'etent seeiarian cieeds, have their
names nu.l their hymns printed slde
by atde iu every church hymnal. The
chuijSh.of Blsbop Ueber may believo
ln iipOfltolie succesalon for the pulpit,
but it does not believe In npostolh
successlon for the choir loft. for Hen
ry Newman the Cathollc and john nnd

tbougli some presbyterics may make

true gospel ovnngolist from singing the

slnglng evaugelists to win otber multl

The Mo?t Powerfol Music.
Au 1 here let Bae state aoaaethtng
whieh has been on my mind for some
time !n <? iler to proach the gospel
by Boog a man doea not have to ba a
master of classicnl music. All that he
needs t<? have i.-. a pare heart. daan
lips aud an nrdinary vwoet, true voice.
?Hd when be ataga the i>lain. almple
gospel Boagl irotn the beart God will
bteaa bbi sinving. eran as ba b
the almple prayera tba( come from a
devom heart. Mr. Beeeher we!l formu
lated this. tbooght when he pr<>;
in the following words against the
pharlsalsm of iOCred song: "Miisic ls
uot simply a rehJcle for earrying a

would not be ple.-isant ln Itself without

Beoeher mcan by all th!<- T will tell
you.
A gospel hynr.i is a sermon A

prayer.
The eonsldoration of tlils subject sug
gests to me tlm-o practieal lessons.
First, i want to bnpraaa npoa all Chrttv
tian people that the church which does
not put ? great omphnsis upon its mu
slc is ? ??f a fearful mistake.
"Why do you glvo out so many hymns
In your prayer meotings :>.itd chuivh
?anrleasr* a friend said to me some
time ngo. "Hocuuse I cannot give out
any more hymns," i answend. "I haV
lieve that tho singlug of a church is
more iun>ort.-tnt than the preaching.
Indecd, I know that wbnt I say is true,
fer many a church Isafi^istlng ln spite
of i>oor preaching, but you never saw a
?Krong church thut dld not bave flue
church mualc. Chnreh members, be
ware how you trlfle with the rausic.
Get the bont hymn l>ooks. Mluisteru
aud ofli<-ers. prayerfully select the
hymns that all people cau slng. Do uot
mnke your slnging a mere aecessory to
the church Qbd is watching you when
be >-:iys. "l.et everythlng that hath
tmalh praise the I.ord."
Tho Church Choir.
The next great faet to which I would
oall your attentiou Is that of your
church choir. Sncred singing ls an im
port.int pirt ofdmrch woiship. There?
fore we should be caieful wbom we
select as the luetttbfl of our cholrs to
lead us in ibnt song. It Is essentlal
that those leaders he li viug sw eet, pure.
Chrlatfara llyco, I tars not how bril
liant a minister might be. you would
not knowingly select him for your
pasior if you knew he was immoral
or a drunkard. Why should not the
same purlty of life be required of the
niemlKM-s of our church cholrs? It ls
a sliuine to see some people rlslng In
tbe choir lofts to slng the most sacred
words In our byuin Itooks when every
one knons tbat tbey are llviug llves
that contradlct the words they are
sluglng. I have had men and women
ln my cholrs who never made any pre
tense to religlon. These members of
the cholrs never uttended prayer meet
lng. They never put their foot inslde
tbe Sunday school. They did what
tbey were pald to do. and tbey did
notbing else. They s.aug psabn tunes
m Sunday and. as ffcff as I can make
out, served tho ilevil tbe rest of the
week. God will never bless u church
uulcss that church has just as pnre
and as conaicrated a choir loft as it
has a conseeratod minister. Mark
that.
Eastly, I want you to get luto the
hablt of singing gospel songs wlurever
you go. Le.irn to sing gospel hynms
ou the Mreet and in your home when
you are drossing. Teuch your chil
dreu to sing these songs in tbe same
way. There is DO oasier way to
spread the gospel an<l to sbow peo?
ple that you are standing for Chrlst
thau by sInging?about him when vou
are at work. Have you ?*/?* atteuded
a great Metho list camp meelingV Then
you may have" been impressed hv the
preaching. n??t I will tell y,?u what
you weiv mostly improssed with and
What has llngeiod h.ngest ln your
memory. It was m.t the service ln tho
audllorium. but what took place after
the nudlenco w as dlsmlssed. Then the
young people- 1 nieun all those who
were young in beart. and they all seem
od to ba young- fonned in line and
marehed around the grounds singing
some old hymn like "Y?'e Aiv March
lug to Zion, Heautlfnl, Ileautiful
Zion." As Ibey sang the \ery heavons
scemed rojoin i:i (ln- hannonios. Oh.
how that r: Batc rlngs today ln your
aaetnorleaj LTke a great aray th
Oted as they sang. Cannot you
in the aanae aray sing about Christ
arhea yen ara nt work? Like a great
?ftNdng heet let us move forward to
capture tiie ronnd world for Christ
There is a ?>eautlful story told that
many years ago arhea Jenny Lhid was
visiting this country she called upon
her eonutryman. John Ihicssou. but the
fanious inventor ref used to see her.
Brti aaoa bad a laagalflceal braJa, but
he w.is no respecter of persons. He

6NAILS AS FOOD.
e%?T Are About lOO Per Out Mcr?
\utrltlniia Than Orilrri.
A dlsh of snaila ia hardly ever aeen
Ia Oreat Britalu, although in Spaln and
ln l'ranee thia molhisk is a falrly com
mon nrticle of food among the poor,
while it ln held in great estcem by the
gourmet arhea it ls stewod and gar
nished with herbsHud coudimenta, saya
the I.ondon LaaCet The suggestion
that the snail should form a cheap ar
tiele of food in Eugland hns been re
vlved. and there is nothlng to be said
ngaiust the propoaal from a dietetic
point of vlew. for, proi>erly cooked, the
anall is both nutritious and tasty.
If, however. the suggestion were seri
ously aeted upon, we fear that the sup
ply in Bngiand would prove to be short
of the demand. But doubtless the snnll
could be cultivated as Is tbe oyster
when it was found that it had gained
a eonsiderable patronage. The snall
has lndeed l>eeu called "tbe poor inan's
oj?ster," though we do not remember to
have seen it eaten raw. We know,
however. that It makes an cxcellent
fish sauec and may be used for the
aame purpose as oyster sauce. l'oasl
bly also a few snalls In a steak and
kldney pudding would increase the tas
tiness of this pepolar food.
Care must l>o exereised in the cholce
of the anall for food purposes. as lt Ia
well known that snails feed an poison
ous plants, and it is the eustom ln
Frauce to allow ? few diys to elapse
nfter they have been taken from their
feedlag gtoaad in ardea that any poi
boiious matters may be eliminated.
Most of the snails in Crance used for
adlbte pnrpoeea are collected from the
rtneyarda <>f Burguudy, CSaampagBe
and Lorraine. which. we may be sure,
nfford a perfecttj rlean fticifllag'jproaafl
for the anall, cooetdering tbaeara arakk
is tafeaa to aeetaet the vines from dia
?ase.
According to analysls. very nenriy 90
por cent of tlie solid matter of the snall
Is proteid matter available directly for
repalring the tissnes of the body. Be
Btdea this. tiiere aro about (? per cent
of fat and 4 pei cent of miuural mat?
ter, inciuding phosphates. Compared
with Ihe oyster. this would show that
the snail contains about 100 per cent
more uutritious substancos., The aug
gaetlOtt, theietore. that the snail should
t>e used for food is not tnerely ientl
meutal.

"Several rallroads iu this country
make their own wooden logx," said a
surgeon.
His BOditor shuddered.
"Bather gbaatly, that."
"Ghustly iu I way." tho surgt'on ad

roads are bj far the largest consumors
of woadea legs. Whv, then, shouldn't
they havo their own'wooden leg fac
torles?" *
"There's something In what yon
say."
"Of course there la," declared the
surgeon. "Our Amerlcan rallroads kill,
on the averago, 8,000 people a year and
lnlure .40,000. With the killed we've
nothlng to do, but the Injured, at 40,
000 per annuiu, run up to the enormoua
total of 200,000 in five years or 400,000
ln ten years. Why buy wooden legs
for all that army? Why not raanu
facture them direct and thus save tbe
protit of the mlddlemen?
"The Btahdard Oil company, our

Ordlnnrlly one of the qnJeteat men In

blast all in his way. St. Taut still tells
with glee the story of an occasion
when, maddened by the persistent bad
serviee of the Bell Telephone company
there, he tore its Instrument from the
wall, threw It out into the.back yard
and kioked It to pieces. On another oc?
casion when, according to his notiou.
things were golng all wrong In the
Great Northera offlces, he made a
"Journey of improvement" that is still
remembered with a shudder. Ile went
