They have a. book and they have a l, voice. and they know how to read. They ', know many of the tunes, and yet are ; silent while the great raptures of music pass by. Among those who sing not one out of a hundred sings loud enough to hear his own voice. They hum it. They give a sort ot religious grunt. They make the lips go, but it ie inaudible. With a. voice strong enough to stop a street car one block away all they can afford in the praise of God is about hall a whisper. With enough soiiranos, enough altos. enough bassos to make a small heaven be- '; tween the tour walls they let the op- iportunity go by unimproved. The volume of voice that ascends trom' the largest audience that ever as: sembied ought to be multiplied two thousand told. But the minister rises and gives out the hymn. the organ begins, the choir or precentor| leads. the audience is standing so that the lungs may have full expan- sion. and a mighty harmony is about to ascend when the evil spirt spoken of in my text--the dumb ar.vil--1 spreads his two wings, one over the lips of one-half the audience and the 1 other wing over the lips ot the other half of the audience, and the toices roll back into the throats trom which they started, and only here and there anything is heard, and nine-tenths of the holy power is destroyed, and the dumb devil. as he flies away, says, "I could not keep Isaac Watts from writ.. ing that hymn. and I could not keep Lowell Mason from composing the tune to which it is set, but I smote into si- lence or half silence the lips from ' which it would have spread abroad ' to bless neighborhoods and cities and then mount the wide open heav- , ens."

How much heartier we would be in our songs and how easily we would drive back the dumb devil from all our worshipping assemblages it we could realise that nearly all our hymns have a stirring history.

Do not, however. let us lose our- selves in generalities. Not one ot us but has had our lives sometimes touched by the evil spirit of the ',aiff.) this awful dumb devil. We had Just one opportunity of saying a Christian word that might have led a man or woman into a Christian life. The op- portunity was fairly put before us. The word ot invitation or consolation‘ or warning came to the inside gate otl the mouth, but there it halted. Borne) hindering power locked the jaws to- gether tto that they did not open. The tongue lay fiat and still in the bottom of the mouth as though struck with paralysis. We were mute. Though }God has given us the physiological apparatus tor speech and our lungs were tilled with air, which by the com- mand of our will could have made the laryngeal muscles move and the vocal organs vibrate, we were wickedly and I fatally silent. For all time. and eternity we missed I our chance, or it was a prayer meet- a ing, and the service was thrown op- 1 en for prayer and remarks. and there i was a dead tuut--everythintt silent . as a grave at midnight. In- , deed, it was agraveyard and mid- 1 night. An embarrassing pause took place that put a wet blanket on all l the meeting. Men, bold enough on , business exchange or in worldly clr- , cles. shut their eyes as though they I were praying in silence, but they were not praying at all. They were busy hoping somebody else would do his duty. The women ttutrtted under ( the awful pause and made their fans ‘more rapidly flutter. Some brother, with no cold, coughed, by that sound trying to tIll up the time, and the meeting was slain. But what killed it? The dumb devil. This l is the way I account ry the fact l that the stupidest places on earth are some prayer meetings. I do not see how a man keeps any grace if he regularly attends them. They are spiritual refrigerators. Religion kept on ice. How many ot us have lost occasions of usefulness? In a sculptor's studio stood a figure ot the god Opportunity. The sculptor had made the hair fall down over the face of the statue so as to com- pletely cover it, and there were wings to the feet. When asked why he so represented Opportunity, the sculp- tor answered, "The face of the statue is thus covered up because we Jo not recognise Opportunity when I it comes. and the wings to the feet ilshow that Opportunity is swiftly gone."

Haldane swore at the ship's crew with an oath that wished them all in perdi- tion, and a. Scotch sailor touched his cap and said, "Captain, Y/ll hears prayer. and we would be badly " if your wish were answered." Capt.

Her court was pure. i tr iWhatever might be said about thel l other royal Courts of Europe, and; h gossip has not always been silent re- \' speutiug them. it is a delightful truth that no reflections were ever cast t' l upon the court of Her Majesty Queen ( l Victoria. To be accepted there was a i t passport to all the courts of 'iUil world, Not only as Owen was she , ti, defender of the faith of her pvoplel by her oath of eoronatiou, but she ', k i was also the resolute defender by her .

The Angle-Saxon race undoubt- . , edly possessed a genius tor 1l'ir-1i'Ftl, i ernment. but it is equally true that t I the Angio-Saxun race resents arbi- l l trary rule.

And, although Brit- cc ian during her reign was mire than once shaken by social uphvnvuls, such as the Churtists' uprising in IMT, and the agitation for the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846, never was the must-tin» of the agitator direct- ed against the Queen. "yde Park might bo filled with its restless thousands. and a surging mob might gather in Trafalgar square to de- nounce Parliament and to demand a retirees of alleged grievances; Minis- ters might tre hissed at public meet- ings, and the Lords denounced tor their protm'tion to reform; but nev- er was it said that she. without whose signature no act of Parlia- ment was binding. ever stood in the way of any movement for the amelio- ration of her subjects. She enjoyed more than any sovereign that ever sat upon the British throne that tm- munity from pvpulnr censure which is Implied in the well-knawn upho- rimn: "Tho King can do no wrong."
