Some have a great. prejudice against mnv sical instruments; and even among those who like them thercisan idea that they are unauthorized I love the cymbals, for Israel clapped them in triumph at the Red See. I love the harp. for David struck it in praising the Lord. I love the trumpet, for we are told that it shall wake the dead. I love all stringed instrumentssnd organs, for God demands that we shall praise him on stringed instruments and organs. There is in such music much to suggest the high: er worship, for I read that when he had taken the book the four-und-twenty elders fell down before the lamb. having every one of them "bum." and “I heard the voice of the harpcrs harping with their harps," and “i saw them that had gotten the victory front the beast standing on the sea of glass, having the harps of God." Yes, the song is to be accompanied. You say that. all this is figurative. Then l any prove it. ldo not know how much of it is literal and how much of it is flgurntive. Who can say but that from some of the precious woods of earth and heaven there may not be made instruments of celestial accord!

The famous musical convo cation at Dusseldorf ended with the fourth day. Our holidays last only eight or ten days; but heaven, although singing for so many years, has only just. begun "the new song." If the glorified inhabitants recount punt deliverance: they will also enkindle nt glories to come. If at 9 o'clock, when the church opened, you had taken the few peo ple who were scattered through it as the main nudience, you would not have made so great a mistake as if you supposed till! the present population of heaven are to be its chief citizenship.
