The influences produced on the soul of Augustine by the music of his d iy ' the voices of Ihe con gregation sweetly singing, were reprodu ced' by the singing of the early Met-ho-dh.'s " The 'Wc-deyan sing'ng was a source of great, power to early .Methodism. Charles Wesley's hymns with simple but effective tunes, spread everywhere among the societies, and lmndred-i of bearers came not for the preaching, were charm ed to the Methodist assemblies by their music. It secured them much success among the susceptible Irish." "Its .in jj nonce on tho popular taste, intellectual as well as moral, could not fail to be in calculably great." (IliM. uf MvAfculhsn, Stephens Yol I page 337 IT page 4i)5.) How striking the contrast between such music and "the musicofour Churches how ever skillfully played upon ths organ or sweetly sung by a few select voices." arid which in its influence is "liko the cold corrusc.'ttions of the Northern lights," which serve to "amuse and delight the spectator for awhile, and then passes away leaving the bosom dark and cheerless as before." 11 it would not savor of vanity I would express the hope of converting the Doctor back to his "iirsfc love" lbr "the hymns our fathers and mothers sung," the hymns we learned at the. maternal knee, and sang them with our brothers and sifters around our domestic altars. I confess my surprise at the following language of Dr. Garland. "In the primi tive Church we find, singing to be apart of diviue worship. Whether or not it. was accompanied by the instrument wc do not know. We infer however thai, it was not. The disciples had no fixed places of worship. They were driven fions ho.i'-e to house." As the Doctor con (esses his want of information on (he matter at Is sue, he will, I am sure, excuse me for aiding him all in my power on the point involved. I call his.altentiim to the fol lowing historical testimony. "It is generally admitted, that the pri mitive Christians employed no ir.strumen t il music in their religious worship. Nei ther Ambrose, nor lhir-il, mr Chrysoptom in the noble encomiums which they sev erally pronounced upon music, moke any mention of instrumental music, llasil condemns it as ministering only to the Christian Advocate I'lM-lisl-in? l'-- ;;Tis o." men.

I;io . Sasnctt is President of a College where the young men of the Church are. trained. To fill that position he is high ly educated. Objecting 'as he dees to "an educated ministry" because it im plies "a lurking distrust ' of the Spkit's agency," how dare he to pander to human.1 considerations to such an extent as to al low himself to stand before the Church an educated minister, lie publicly dee-ores his conscientious objections to the whole thing and as publicly violate his declared principles. It is a burning shams to .ec such a public "pandering to hum an eons i d e rations." Dut perhaps Bro. Sasnctt believes his ease to be an exception and that the min istry of Colleges ou::ht to bo "an educated ministry. Ah! so then we are to jiavc two classes are we ? ":m educate;!- minis try" "panderir.g to human considerations" and aa uneducated mints-try, n set of buffoons aud ignoramuses, who, not "pan dering to human e jnsiuera'ions," depend directly and immediately upon "the Spir it's agency." Brethren ol tho itinerancy? We are the uneducated ministry. Let us cheerfully remain so and accept the position assigned us Ie?st we conform, as Bro. Susnctfc snys, to "usages found in other communion.; cf most mischievous tendency." But the President Elands in dread of "on extension cf the pastoral term." How many regular itinerant pastoral terms has he filled' lie is not the first who has fi-lt disposed to "bind heavy burdens and grievous to be boi r.e and lay theio on mcn' i.Louldt.rd: but they themselves will not. ro'-ve them with or o' their fingers." But surely Bro. Sa-iieft is not in the College as a literary man. Tie is there as a minister cf Christ: as a 31ethodist preacher. Why then has he remained in his present position so loDg? Why did he not leave at the end of the second year? How mortifying to see the public men of the Church thm "pandering to human considerations and implying a lurk ing distrust ol the Spirit's agency." But rierhaps this is another exception If his former position be true, then iliifre is but one reply left us it is his own language. It is "a pandering to human consider ations, an idolatry of human elements of force incompatible with a true gospel faith, and, consequently with all that is genu inely effective m Christianity. Let me in conclusion invite the atten tion of Bro. Sasnett to . the following : "Sing unto the Lord a.ew song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. Let them praise his name with tho pipe, let them sing praises unto him with the tim brel and harp." And again, "Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet, praise him with the psal tery a'ld harp. Praise him with the tim brel aud pipe. Praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise hint with the cymbals : praise him with the high sounding cymbals." Was this language "written aforetime for oivr. instruction?" If not, why has it a place in our Bible. If it was so de signel, what does it teach? Certainly not a. prohibition of instrumental music in worship. If Bro. Sasnett's views are correct, our Idcthodisni is in danger every time we sit down to read the Word of God. Perhaps he will ask me, if I would like to see all those instruments in use in Christian Churches. I reply, it would be desirable only on one condition, viz , that those desiring instrumental music with their public worship knew of no more appropriate instrument. But with the grandeur of the modern organ that j want will never occur. God forbid that I should ever he the agent of thrusting the sound ot any in strument in the Church on any congre gation not desiring it. I would not thrust good vecal music upon those pre ferring the lame or discordant. But God forbid that I should refuse to permit the sound of David's harp to any poor Saul, from whose heart the evil may be drien by its melody. St. John, in his vision of tho .New Je rusalem, says: "'Ami I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps, and they sang a new song before the throne. These arc they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were re deemed from among men." 3Ir. Wesley dwelling upon that scene, says : 'Ttcy drir.k the vivifying streams, Thry pluck the amhrosial fruit A r. -leach records the praise of him, Who tuned his golden lute. At once they strike the harmonious wire, And hymn the great Three One lie hears, he smiles, and all the choir Fall down before his throne." Bro. Sasnctt, as a good man, hopes to get to heaven. Will his "Methodist mind not fail to reluctate at the innovation" of instrumental music there ? Will he then, when tendered a harp, join with the heav enly choirsters ol the Church triumphant, or refusing it, turn away from it, and ex claim then, as he does now ; "I have nev er known any Church that was in a nor mal revival state that had any use for the time being for instrumental music." F. A. 3Iood. I I-ove to Jesus. A lad named Hoopoo, a native of one of the South Sea Islands, was sent to America to be trained, that he might be come useful in the mission. One day he was in a large company, and was ask ed many epicstions about the island in which lie was born. The native lad spoke very wisely, but some of his say ings made a gentleman of the company laugh aloud. "I am a poor heathen boy,'W said Hoopoo; "it is not strange that my blunders in English should amuse you" Then, in a kind and serious manner, he said to the gentleman, "Soon there will be a larger meeting than this. We shall all be there, and if we should then be asked, Do you love the Lord Jesus Christ V I think I -shall be able to say, 'Yes.' What will you say, sir V The gentleman felt the force of the words, and after he left the party, the question of the South Sea Island boy still seemed to sound in his ears. His heart was touch ed by the Holy Spirit, and he found no rest till he could say, Yes, to Hoopoo's question. Northern Methodism. Many laymen of the Methodist Episco pal church, North, in the Jfffersonian of Westchester, Pa,, propose to establish a lleformed M. E. church, on the basis of the action of the denomination up to 184G, "except that no Abolitionist shall he eli gible to the ministry, or be admitted to the pulpit of the church, or hold the of fice of class leader." English Methodism. John Wesley's chapel, City lload, London, was built upon h-asehold land, and on the expiration of the existing lease, in 1777, the property would have been alienated from Methodism ; but the freehold has, after much difficulty, been purchased, and the premises are secured to .Methodism iorever. iixrgrEpjmal Walter Heurv Mot-tag ue, son of lr. 7.
