wilds.- Ever since the days of the
Protestant Reformation in Europe
350 years ago, and from the Sun
day when our Reformed Prayer
Book was first used, June 9 1549.
they had these same vested choirs
in'all the great cathedrals of En
gland. But even then and there,
they were no novelty. Far back
in the hoary past, when not only
aU England but all Europe 'was a
wild wilderness, of woods, back in
the ages of antiquity before the
cities of London or Rome or even
Babylon itself were built or heara
of, there wasTn farjoff Palestine a
white robed choir singing the
praises of God every Sabbath day,
in the east or chancel end of the
house of: God; -
1 he origin of the vested choir
will be found recorded with the
Bible itself, in the 15th chapter of
of First Chronicles. -We read how
in the reign of King David, they
brought up the ark of the Lord
to Mount Zion, and how David
was clothed with a robe of linen,
and also all the Levi tes that bare
the ark of the Lord and the Sin
gers and Chenaniah master of the
song, with the Singers." "
And in the -9th chapter of. sec
ond Chronicles,'a chapter written
when the first church of God, even
built on this earth, was completed
by King Solomon, the whole ac
count of the dedication of. the
of the temple is handed down to
us. Iri: that narrative we read
that, 'Hhe Levites - even the
Singers, all of them of Asapb, of
Heraan of Jeduthan, with" their
sons and their brethren, being ar
rayed in. white linen, having cym
bals and - psalteries and harps
otood at the last end of the altar,and
a nice line oft it came to pass as the trumpeters
and singers were as one, to make
one sound to be heard in praising
and thanking the Iord, and when
they lifted' up their voice with the
trumpets and cymbals and instru
ments of music, and praised the
Lord saying. for he is good: for
his mercy endureth forever,' that
then the house of : the Lord, wts
filled with a cloud.even the house of
the Lord.sothatthe priest could not
minister by reason of the cloud,
for the glory of the Lord had filled
the house of the Lord."
And if the custom of having
white robed choir in the sanctuary
is as old,as this; the song that, we
sincr is no less ancient, for the
words of the Psalms that we have
to day, were the self same words
that they sang on - that day three
thousand years ago. Just as we
have now our new church nymnai
with its division of hymns for Ad
vent, Christmas and Easfer, so
was the book of Psalms the ancient
hvmnal of the old Jewish church.
It is divided into five. Among the
subdivisions, - there were the
"Psalms of Degrees," sung when
the pilgrims came to Jerusalem,,
"the Hallel Psalms," sung, at the
Passover,"the alphabetical Psalms'
and the "Royal Liturgical Psalms"
of the temple service that were
sung each Sabbath day. One of
these was the Venitcy "O , come
let us sing unto the Lord" zanother
was the Jubilate "O be joyful in
the Lord all ye lands"r another
was the Cantat, "O sing unto
the'Lord a new-song ; still anoin
er was the Bonum Est, "It is a good
thing to give . thanks unto the
So that these psalms, which you
will find in the Sunday service of
the Prayer Book were listened to
and sung, in their day by David
and Solomon; afterthal by Isaiah
and Jeremiah, then by Zachartah
and Haggai and Malachi, and
then by Christ -and his twelve
apostles. As a matter of fact, they
have been sung first by the Jews
on every" Sabbath, and then by
the Christians on every Lord s
day without a week's intermission
tor nearly thirty centuries.
Think of the tremendous historic
v'-ry-s iie; thence I movements and tne great 1 cvu...

lapse of time. This world is a

half their value,
the
persistence of this religious in
stinct, as age follows up? Why
is it that the same sorfgs are sung
and the same prayers used, in our
Sunday services, as century after
century rolls by?. We Christians,
know the answer, we come to
church every Sunday to -worship
God: the craving to worship Gtd,
is a hunger and thirst of the soul,
which is just as imfortunate and
irrepressible as hunger and thirst
of the body. .
The outer ' worid looks upon
church going as a religious custom
that is fast.dying out. Unbeliev
ers are never.tired of saying that
intelligent men have coo much
to think about and too much todo,
to waste their precious hours in
attending a tiresome religious ser
vice, and listen to the trite exhor
tations of a poor preacher-upon
repentance and . conversion
when they can spend their
ttme . 'much . more profita-
L. 1 . a "r
oiy.in reaamgtne aunaay news
papers or taking down a book of
some great author from their, li
brary shelves. Sermons, they say,
were helpful in days gone by,
when the congregations were not
so well educated and when the
preacher's voice was their chief
source of instruction, but now,
when people have learned to think
and read for themselves, the Sun
day sermon has lost its old inter
est and power. Now, I think,
brethren, that the .church itself is
partly o blame for this state of
mind, especially here in America
where the- sermorr has come to
take so large and exaggerated
a place in the Sunday service
For example, we, hear church
goers constantly .saying. " "I am
going today to hear Dr.A preach."
"I sit under Dr. B,s preaching."
"I never go to church because I
do not care for Dr. C's sermons."
They never think of their place of
worship as the house of God: it is
always"Dr. So and So's church."
Thus the feeling has become pre
valent that the sermon is. every
thing, the service nothing, and
everywhere we behold: congrega
tions sitting , wearily in - pews,
paying little or no attention to the
words -of the Bible, and to the
prayers, and never rousing them
selves until 'the sermon begins.
If the preacher is elouqent the
church is well filled, if he is common-place
the people stay away.
They are helplessly, passively de
pendent upon the kind of preach
ers they baVe. They depend upon
him to do all their religions think
ing and all their Sunday praying
for them, and thus has arisen a
kind of . Protestant priestcraft
among us, in which . the ; preacher
exercises a soft of absolute power,
in stimulating or paralyzing the
devotional life - of human souls,
while the people sit before him -as

us, at least all o'f iis who earnestly
strive to worship God in this way,
experience Sunday after Sunday
a great difficulty here. It . is the
same difficulty that Isaiah felt
when he first' listened to the
worship of heaven. As he was
caught up in spirit, from this
earth and heard angels and arch
angels, cherubim and seraphim,
singing their endless alleluia and
crying: "Holy,, holy, holy Lord
God of hosts," he fell down . on
his face, crying: "Woe is me, for I
am a man of uuclean lips, O God."
So it is with us when we hear the
joyous words of the Prayer Book
Sunday after Sunday. The ser
vices from beginning to end" re
sound as one great song of praise
and thankfulness, and there is not
a man present; be he bishop,
priest or layman, who does not
feel : and know in his heart cf
hearts that the whole church ser
vice, with its whole atmosphefe of
brightness and thanks-giving is
far above the level of his own dis
contented, unthankful life, and
does not realize with shame the
contrast between the joyousness
of the words we speak in church
and the murmuring, fretful, re
pining words that our own -unclean
lips keep uttering in our homes
and all through our- week-day
life.
-Now, there is a reason for'all
this that we will do well to
ponder. . . ' -
In the first place, four-fifths
of the. words of the Prayer Book
are the exact words of the Bible
itself. s If you do as the Prayer
Book tells you, you will read the
Old Testament through once
every year and the New Testa
ment twice and - the book of
Psalms1 twelve times. Not only
this, the prayers and responses
and songs of the prayer book are
most of them in phrases or sen-
- r m. w-. .
icnces lateen irom tne .Bible; so
that the whole service from be
ginning to end is saturated with
the very spirit of Holy Scripture.
Now, there is no book in the whole
world that is so bright and joyous
as the Bible itself. I "challenge
you to nnd anywhere else, in all
the literature, all the novels or all
the poems of this earth, anythicg
that equals in praise and thank
fulness the words of the prophets
and apostles, of Jesus Chris
Again, the. most loyous men andH
women that ever walked this earth
were the New Testament Christ
tans; and as-the words of these
.Christians are interwoven in all
the services of the Prayer Book,
this Prayer Book from beginning
to ending breathes the very spirit
ot New 1 estament lite.
; Furthermore, let us remember
that the remaining fifth of this
a
dook was written oy no one man
orbody of men. It has been
gradual growth of centuries. Be
ginning with the communion ser
vice instituted by Christ himself.
it grew in after days into the Lit
urgy of St.7ohn, and was used by
his own disciples, Polycarp and
Ignatius, Papias and Pothinus in
the city of Ephesus. From Ephe
sus it was carried by Greek mis
sionaries, under Irenaeus, to Ly
ons in France. From Lyons it
was' brought to the British' Isles,
and from England it was brought
in these latter days to America.
All through this time .it kept
growing. Every passing century
added to it its treasures of devo
tion. By a law of spiritual gravi
tation those prayers and praises
which in each passing century
were found to be most helpful and
praiseful gradually found their
way into its pages, so that to-day
it stands before us as the voice of
the church, the voice of God's
people in all ages of the Christ
ian era. Four-fifths of it, as we
have said, are in the words of the
Bible itself ; the remaining fifth is
composed of collects and prayers
framed by the martyrs and con
fessors .of the primitive church,
of the past as your "brothers for
eternity.

mere cyphers, a passive audience
of negative beings, and -can then by saintly" men 'and women
you by any sketch of language or
imagination call this divine wor
ship? For what does worship
mean? It surely does not mean
mer.elv listening to a sermon, how
ever eloquent. Sermons have a
place, and a very .important
place it is, in the church service
but sermons are only -a help to
worship .and a stimulus.' to devo
tion.. They are not worship itself.
Divine worship means that we
come to the house of God, realiz
ing first of all that Christ himself
is present there, whenever two or
three are gathered together in his
name. We are to lose sight of the
presence of others in the greater
thought of his. Presence. The
consciousness of the congrega
tion is to be completely blotted
out in the consciousness that the
church is none than the house of
find, the irate of heaven, and that
Christ himself who hung upon the
cross, Who rose from the grave
and .Who is coming to be cur
judge at the last great day, is, ac
cording to His most true promise,
now present, through the power
of the Holy Ghost, in the very
midst of His people.
Worship, next, means that we
treat Christ's presence as a reality,.
that-we pray every prayer as
though we were personally speak
ing to the living God, and that we
singhis praises on earth as angels
onrt - archancels sine, them in
Heaven. ' . "'

They breathe the universal life of
God's people, as it manifests itself
from age to age. . When we enter
into the church on any bunday
morning, we bear the hymns of
the 'ages, the prayers of.the ages,
the praises of the 'ages. Think
how gladsome they are. Count
the number of times that the word
V thanks and " thanksgiving is
repeated in the communion ser
vice.- Throw yourself into the
joyousness ot the Psalms in the
spirit of those who first uttered
them, and you will find, when you
pass from the outer world, under
the door way of the church, that you
are really entering into a Higher
Presence; that you are breathing
a purer, .nore exhilarating atmos
