Ijunrch had two boys, the one a

Jubal. the youngi'i son, was the first

tlio first full organ, that wo read of as
given In. 7fi7 by an emperor of the east
to a'kingof Franco, sounded forth Its
full grandeur a woman fell intoudeliri
uiu from which her reason was novel
restored.
The majesty of a great organ skill
fully played is almost too much for
hiiman endurance, but how much the
Instrument has done in tlie ro-enforco-uieut
of divine service it will tako all
time and ail eternity to celebrate. Last
April wlieh we dedicated this church to
the service of Almighty God our organ
was not more than half done. It has
now como so near completion that this
morning I preach a sormon dedicatory
of this mighty throne of sacred sound.
It greets the oyo as well as tho car. Bo

that portfolio to America, declaring
that Brooklyn Tabernacle should liavo
the full advautago of all he had ob

carry out his idea, his son, Mr. Edward
Jardlno, has introduced Into tills great

(IKTIIJCIt
There has been much dismission as
to whore muslo was born. I think that
ut the beginning, when the morning
ktars sang together, and all the suns of
God nhoiiuxl for Joy. that tho ef.rtli
heard the echo The oloiui on which
the angels stood to celebrate tho crea
tion was the blrthplacu of song. limn
luitito nature is full of God's stringed
and wind Instrument. Silence Itself
perfect sllutico U only a musical
rest in God's great anthem of worship.
Wind amoug tho leaves, bisects hum-
.tulug In the summer air, the rush of
billow upon beach, tlio ocoan tar put
mounding Its ovorlastiug psalm, the bob
olink on the edge of tho forest, tho
quail whaling up from tho grass, aro
music
On Black woll's Island I heard coin
ing from a window of tho lunatlo
asylum a very sweet wing It was sung
by una who hud lout her reason, and 1
hnvo come to bollove that even tho do
ranged and disordered elements of na
ture would make music to our ear, If
wu only had aouhmcas enough to Ht
tem I suppose that even the sound
In nature that are discordant and re
nuUIre make harmony In God's car.
You know that you may como so noar
to an orchestra that tlio hounds aro
twiltiful Instead of pleasurable, and I
think we stand so near devastating
storm and frightful whirlwind we can-
not hear Uiat which makes to God's
ear and the war of the pirlt nbuvu 111

Tlie day of Judgment, wliieh will be
a day of uproar and tumult, I kiippo&o
will bring no dItonauM' (u the ears of
thOM who can calmly Ibti'ii, although
It bo as whon some grvat jHirfonuor U
executing n boisterous pieoe of iiiiiklo,
bo sometime breaks down the liurtru
uuuit on which hu nlays. to it may bo
wi that test day that tm growl march
of'God", played by tlio linger ot tliunder
and earthquake and conflagration, may
break down tlie world upon which the
music Is executed. Not only Is Inani
mate nature full of music, but God has
wonderfully organized tho human voice,
so that in tlie plainest throat and lungs
then1 are fourteen direct muscles which
can make over sixteen thousand differ
eut sounds, and there are thirty indirect
muscles which can mako. It has been
estimated, more than one hundred and
seventy-three millions of soundsl
Now. I say, when God has so con
strueted the human voice, und when
he has lltled the whole earth with har
moiiy. und when ho recognized It In the
ancient temple, I havo a right to como
to the conclusion that God- loved
music
I proposo this morning. In setting
apart this organ for sacred two, to
speak about sacred music j first show
Ing you Its importance and then statr
iug some of tho obstacles to its ad
vancemont.
"sino vi: TO QOD."
I draw tho llrst argument for tho im
portanco of sacred musio from tho fact
that God commanded it. Through
Paul ho tell us to admonish one an
other In psalms and hymns and spirit
ual songs, and through David ho cries
out, "Sing yo to God, all yo kingdoms
of tho earth." And thero aro hundreds
of other passages I might namo prov
Ing that It Is as much a man's duty to
sing as It Is his duty to pray. Indeed,
I think tlioro aro moro commands In
the Bible to sing than tlioro aro to pray
God uoi only asks for tho human
volee but for Instruments of music.
He asks for the cymbal, and tho harp,
and tho trumpet, as well as tho organ.
And I supposo that, in tlie last days of
tho church, the harp, tlio lute, tho
trumpot nnd all tho Instrument ol
musio. wliothor they have been In tlie
sorvico of riglitoousness or sin will bo
brought by their masters and laid down
at tho feet of Christ, and then sounded
In tho church's triumph, on hor way
from suffering Into glory "Pruiso yo
the Lordl" Pralso him with your
voices. Pralso him with stringed In
struments and with organs.
I draw another argument for tho Im
portance of tills exorcise from tho lin
prcssiveness of tills cxorclso. You
know something of what hecular musio
has achieved. You know It lias mado
Its impression on governments, upon
laws, upon litoruturo. upon wholo gen
erations. Olio Inspiriting national air
Is .worth thirty thousand men as n
standing army. There comes a time
In tho battlo whon one bugle is worth
a thousand muskets. I have to toll
you that no nation or churoli can af
ford to sovcrely economize In muslo.
Many of you aro illustrations of what
sacred song can do. Through It you
woro brought into the kingdom of
Jesus Christ. You stood out against
tho argument and the warning of tho
pulpit, but whon, In the sweet words of
Isaac Watts or Charles Wesley or John
Newton or Toplady, the love of Jesus
was sung to your soul then you sur
rendered, as armed castlo that could
not bo takon by a host lifts Its window
to listen to a harp's trill. Tlioro was a
Scotch soldlor dying In Now Orleans,
and a Scotch minister came In to glvo
hhu the consolations of tlio Gospol.
Tho man turnod over on his pillow and
said, "Don't talk to mo about religion."
Thou tho Scotch minister began to sing
a familiar hymn of Scotland that was
composod by David Dickenson, begin
nlng with tho words-
Oh, mother, dear Juru uiluin,
Wlum shall I euuiu to llii'O?
He sang It to tho tune of "Dundee,"
nnd everybody bi Scotland knows that;
and as ho bogau to sing the dying sol
dlor turned over on IiIh pillow, and said
to tlio minister, "Wliero did you learn
that?" "Why," replied the ministor,
"my mother taught mo that." "So did
mine," said tlio dying Scotch soldior;
and tho very foundation of his heart
was upturned, and then nnd tlioro ho
yielded himself to Christ. Oh, It has
an Irreslstlblo powor. Luther's sor
iiions have boon forgot ton, but his
"Judgment Hymn" sings on through
tho ages, and will koep on singing until
tho blast of tho archangel's trumpot
shall bring about that very day which
the hymn celebrates. I would to God
that those who hear mo today would
tako thoso songs of salvation as mes
sages from heaven; for Just as cortainly
on the birds brought food to Elijah by
tho brook Chorith, eo thoso winged
harmonies, God sent, are ilylug to your
soul with tho bread of life. Open your
mouths mid tako It, O hungry I2lihsl
THIUM.INO LINKS OK TIIK OLD I1YMN3.
In addition to tho Inspiring musio of
our own day wo have n glorious inherit
ruico of church psalmody which has
como down fragrant with the devotions
of other generations tunes no more
worn out than thoy were whon ourgreat
grandfathers climbed up on them from
tho church pow to glory t Dear old
souls, how they used to sing I Whon
they were cheerful, our grandfathers
and grandmothers used to king "Col
chester." Whon thoy woro very medi
tative, then tho board mooting house
rang with "South Street" and "St, lid
mondV Were thoy struck through
with great toudeniosii they MUig "Wood
j etook." Wore they wrapped hi visions
of the glory of tho church, they sang
"Zion." Were they overborne with tho
love ami glory of Clirlct, they sang
' "Arlul." And In those days thvro were
oortaln tunus married to certain hymns,
and they have lived hi peaue a groat
while, those two old people, and wo
have no right to divorce them "What
(iod hath Jolnod together lot no man
put asunder." But how hard lurarUx
wo must be If all tlio tutored tuutia of
Uu past, nnd all tho cr,'d mudo of
Is tlie Place to get
Superior
the present does not start ushea'en
wnrd. I havo nlso noticed tho power of sa
cred song to soothe perturbation. You
may have come In hero this morning
with a great many worriments and
anxieties, yet, perhaps, in tho singing
of tho first hymn, you lost nil those
worriments and anxieties. You have
road in the Bible of Saul and how he
was sad and angry, and how the boy
David came in and played tho evil
spirit out of him. A Spanish king was
melancholy The windows were all
closed. Ho sat In tho darkness. Noth
Ing could bring him forth until Para
llel! camo and discoursed muslo three
or four days to him On the fourth
day lie looked up and wept nud- re
joiced, and tho windows were thrown
open, and that which ail tho splendor
of tlio court could not do the power oi
song accomplished. If you have mix!
eties and worriments. try this heavenly
charm upon them. Do not sit down on
tlio bank of tho hymn, but plunge in,
that tho dovil of care may be brought
out of you.
It also arouses to uctlon. A singing
church Is always a triumphant church I
If a congregation issilentduringtho ex
ercise or partially silent, it Is tlio silence
of death If, when tho hymn Is given
out, you hear tho faint hum of here
and tlioro a father and mother in Israel,
while the vast majority aro hilent, that
ininiKterof Christ who is presiding needs
to have a very strong constitution if he
does not get the chills. Ho needs not
only tho grace of God, but nerves like
whalebone. It Is amazing how some
people, who have voice enough to dls
charge all their duties In tlie world,
whon thoy come Into tho house of God
havo no voice to dlhcliarge this duty. I
really believe that If tho church ol
Christ could rise up and sing as it ought
to sing, that where wo havo a huudred
souls broucht Into tho kingdom oi
Christ thero would bo a thousand.
ALL PUltK MUSIO IS YYIIOLKSOMK.
But 1 must now speak of some of the
obstacles In tho way of the advance
incut of this sacred music, nud tiio first
is that It has boon Impressed Into the
servico of superstition. I am far from
bolloving that muslo ought always to
bo positively religious. Itollned art has
opened places where music lias been
secularized, and lawfully so. Tlio
drawlnc room, the musical club, tho
orchestra, tho conoort, by the gratiflca
tion of puro taste, and tlio production
of harmless amusement, and tho Im
provemont of talont, havo bocomo
great forces in the advancement of our
civilization. Music has as much right
to lauch in Surrey guidons as it has to
pray In St. Paul's.
In tho kingdom of nature we have
tho glad filing of tho wind as well as
tho long motor psalm of tho thunder;
but while all this is so, overy obsorvoi
lias noticed that this art, which God in
tended for tho Improvement of tho oar,
and tlio volco, and tlio hoad, and tho
heart, has often boon Impressed into
tlio servico of false religions. Faiso re
ligious have doponded more upon tho
hymning of tiioir congregations than
upon the pulpit proclamation of their
dogmas Tartlni, the musical com
no.sor. dreamed one night that satan
snatcliod from Ills hand an Instrument
and played upon it somothing very
sweet u dream tliat lias often boon
fulfilled In our day, tho voice and tho
Instruments that ought to havo been
dovoted to Christ, captured from tho
church and applied to purposes of su
perstltlon.
Another ob.stualo litis boon an Inor
dinate fear of criticism. Tlio vast ma
jority of poopio singing In church novor
want anybody elso to hour them sing.
Everybody is waiting for somebody
elso to do his duty. If wo all sang,
then tho Inaccuracies that are evident
whon only a fow slug would not bo
heard at all j thoy would bo drowned
out, God only asks you to do as well
as you can, nud then, If you got the
wrong pitch, or keep wrong time,
ho will forgivo any deficiency of tho ear
and Imperfection of tlio voice. Angels
will not laugh If you should loso your
place In tho musical scale, or como In at
the closo a bar behind.
Tlioro aro throe school of singing, 1
am told tho Gorman school, the Ital
ian school and the French school of
singing. Now, I would like to add a
fourth school, and that Is tho school
of Christ, Tho volco of a contrite,
broken heart, although It may not
bo ablo to stand human criticism,
makes better music to God's car than
tho most art 1st lo performance, when tho
heart Is wanting. 1 know it is easier
to preach on thtt than It la to practice,
but I sing for two reasons llrst, bo-
caiibu I llko It, and next, because I want
to encourage those who do tint know
how. I have but very little faculty In
that direction, yet 1 am resolved to sing,
God has commanded It, and 1 ilaro not
bolilont. Ho calls on tho beasts, on
the cattlo, on tho dragons to pralso
him, and we ought not to bo behind
tho cattlo nud tho dragons.
TIMIDITY AND 0A1TIOUSXKS3.
Another obstacle that has been In
tho way of tho advancement of this
holy art has beeu tho fact that there
has been so much nugry discussion on
tho subject of music. There are thoso
who would have this exercise conclud
ed by musical Inttruiueiits, lit tho!
sauio church thero aro thoso who do
not llko musical instruments, and so It
U organ and no organ, and there is a
light In anothor church It Is a ques-
tion whothor tho musio shall be con
ducted by a precentor or by a drilled
choir. Somo want u drilled choir und
eouis want a precentor, and there U 4
fight Tlion thero aro those who would
like In tho church to have tho organ
played In a dull, lifeless, droning way,
I vfhils Jfesra w other who vrquld .hay
It wreathed Into fntitastics. branching
out In Jots and spangles of sound, roll
Ing and tossing in marvelous convolu
tions, as when. In pyrotechnic display,
after you think a pieco is exhausted, it
breaks out In wheels, rockets, blue
lights and serpentine demonstrations.
Some would havo tlio organ played
In almost inuudiblo sweetness, nnd
others would havo it full of staccato
passages that inukctho audience Jump,
with great eyes and hair on end, as
though by a vision of tlio Witch of
liudor. And ho who tries to please nil
will fail in everything. Nevertheless,
you are to admit tho fact that this con
test which is going on, not In hundreds,
but in thousands of the churches of
tlio United States today, la a mighty
hindrance to tho advancement of this
art. In this way scores of churches
aro entirely crippled as to all iuiluonco,
and tho muslo is a damage rather than
a pralso.
Another obstacle in tho advancement
of this art lias been tho erroneous no
tion that tills part of tho service could
bo conducted by delegation. Churches
havo said "Oh, what nn easy time wo
shall have. This minister will do the
preachiug, tho choir will do tho sing
ing and we will have nothing to do."
And- you know an well as I that there
aro a groat multitude of churches all
through this land, whore the people
aro not expected to sing, the whole
Work Is done by delegation of four or
six or ten persons and tho audience
uro silent.
In such n church in Syracuse an old
elder persisted In singing, and so the
choir appointed n committee to go and
ask the squire If he would not stop.
You know that in a great multitude of
churches tho choir are eipected to do
all the siiiL'ing, and the great mass of
tho people are exp,'ctod to bo silent,
and if you utter your voice you aro In
terfering. There they stand, tlio four,
with opera glass dangling at their sido,
siuging "Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me,"
with tlie same spirit that tho night bo
foro, on tho stage, they took their part
in tho "Grand Duchess" or "Don Gio
vanni."
ALU SHOULD SING WHO CAN.
My (Jlinstlnti Irlonas, uavo w? a
right to delogato to others the dis
charge of this duty which God de
mands of usV Supposo that four wood
thrushes should proposo to do all the
singing some bright day whon tlie woods
are ringing with bird voices. It Is de
cided that four wood thrushes shall do
all tho singing of tlie forest. Lot nil
tlio other voices keop silent How beau
tifuliy tho four warblol It Is really
flno musio. But how long will you
keep tho forest still I Why. Christ
would come into that forest and look
up as ho looked through tlio olives,
and ho would wavo his hand nnd say.
"Lot everything that hath breath
praiso tlio Lord," and. keeping timo
with tlio stroko of innuuiorablo wings,
thero would bo flvo thousand bird
voices leaping into the harmony.
Suppose this delegation of musical
porformors were tried in heavon; sup
poso that four choice spirits should try
to do tlio singing of the upper temple.
Hush, now, thrones and dominions nnd
principalities. David 1 bo still, though
you were "tho sweot singer of Israel."
Paul I keep quiet, though you havo
como to that crown of rejoicing. Rich
ard Baxtorl keop btill, though this la
tlio "Saint's ovorlasting Rest" Four
spirits now do ail tho singing. But
how long would heaven bo quiet? How
long? "Hallelujah I" would cry somo
glorified Motliodist from undor tho
altar. "Praiso tlio Lord I" would sing
tho martyrs from among tho thrones.
"Thanks bo unto God who givoth us
tho victory I" a great multitude of ro
deomod spirits would cry
Myriads of voices coming Into tho
harmony, nnd tho one hundred and
forty and four thousand breaking forth
into one ncclamution. Stop that loud
singingl Stopl Oli, no, thoy cannot
hear me. You might as well try to
drown tho thunder of tho sky, or beat
back tlio roar of tho sea, for overy soul
In heaven has resolved to do Its own
singing. Alas I that we should havo
tried on earth that which thoy cannot
do In heaven, nud instead of Joining all
our voices in tlie praise of tho most
high God, delegating perhaps to un
consecrated men and women this most
solemn and most delightful service
Now, In this church, wo havo re
solved upon tho plan of conducting tho
muslo by orgnn and cornet Wo do it for
two reasons--one is that by throwing
tlio wholo responsibility upon tlio mass
of tho people, making tho great mul
titude the choir, we might rouso more
heartiness, Tlio congregation coming
on tho Sabbath day feel that thoy can
not delegate this xirt of tho great berv
Ice to any ono else, and so thoy them
6olves assume It Wo have had uglori
ous congregational singing hero. People
havo como many miles to hearit They
are not sure about tho preaching, but
they can always depend on tho singing.
Wo have heard the sound coming up
llko "tho volco of many waters," but It
will bo dono at a bettor rato after
awhllo, when we shall realize tho height,
and tho depth, and the Immensity of
this prlvilego, I
I forgot to state tho other reason why '
q adopted this plan. That Is. wo do
; not want any choir quarrels. Yon know
vorv well Hint In eaakm ,f .,lii,.,l,nd '
tunn. im, i,,, ,...., ... I
that direction. The only church light I
that over occurred under my ministry
was over a melodeon. In my llrct settle
ment, Havo you never been in church
on tho Sabbath day and beard tho
choir sing, and you taid, "That Is
splendid uiusla" Tho next Sabbath,
you were In Uiat church, and there was
no choir at alL Why I Tho leader was

school.
HusbandWell,
down to the
get him one
goods are the best for the
tlicy were all mad togothet Somo ol
the choirs nn made up of our best
Christian people. Some of tho warmest
friends I have ever had havo stood up
in them, 8abbath after Sabbath, con
scientiously and successfully lead
ing the praises of God. But tho
majority of tlio choirs through
out tho laud aro nut mado up of
Christian people and three-fourtlis
of tho church tights originate in the or
gan loft I take that back and say
nine-tenths. A great many of our
churches aro dying oi choirs.
We waut to rouse all our families to
tho duty of sacred song. We want
each family of our congregation to be
a singing schooL Childish petulance,
obduracy and intractability would be
soothed If we had more singing In the
household, und then our little ones
would bo prepared for tho great coa
gregration on the Sabbath day, their
voices uniting with our voices In the
praises of the Lord.
After a shower there ore scores oi
streams that come down the mountain
sido with voices rippling and silvery,
pouring Into ono river and then rolling
in united strength to the sea. Sol would
havo all tho families in our church
send fortli tho voice of prayer and
praiso, pouring It into t lie great tide ol
public worship that rolls on nnd on to
empty Into tho great, wide heart of
God. Never can wo havo our church
sing as it ought until our families sing
as thoy ougiit.
Thero will bo a great revolution on
this subject in ail our churches. God
will come down by his spirit and rouse
up tlio old hymns and tunes that have
not been moro than half awako since
tho time of our grandfathers. The si
lent pows in tho church will break fortli
Into musio, and when tlio conductor
takes his pluce on tlio Sabbath day
thero will bo a great host of voices rush
ing into tho harmony My Christian
friends, if wo havo no taste for this
servico on eurth, what will wo do in
heaven, wliero they all sing, and sing
forever?
I want to rouse you to a unanimity
In Christian song that lias never yet
boon exhibited. Come, now ' clear your
throats and got ready for this duty or
you will novor hear tlie end of- this. 1
nover shall forget hearing aFronchman
sing tho "Marseillaise" on the Champs
Elyseos, Paris, Just before tho battlo of
Sedan lu 1870. I never saw such en
tliuslasm before or since. As ho sang
that national air, oh I how tho French
man shoutodl Have you ever In an
English assemblage hoard the baud
play "God 8ave the Queen?" If you
havo, yon know something about the
enthusiasm of a national air.
Now, 1 tell you that these songs wo
sing Sabbath by Sabbath are tho na
tional airs of Jo.sns Christ and of the
kingdom of heaven, and if you do not
learn to sing them here, how do you over
expect to sing tlie song of Moses nnd
tho Lamb ? I should not be surprised at
all if some of the best anthems of
heaven were made up' of somo of tho
best songs of earth. May God Increase
our reverence for Christian psalmody,
and keep us from disgracing it by our
indifference and frivolity. When
Cromwell's army won! into battle, he
stood at tho head of them one day.
