Poetry and music, or the expression of sentiment in metrical composition, and the rocitatiof of such sentiment in those modulated tones of Ore voice vrhich constitute true melody hav^ a natural connection, and are adapted to the intellectual and moral constitution of man . Ardont and elevated emotion delights in the splendors of poetic diction, and in the expression, in mea- sured numbers and well-adapted tune, of the feelings which it iiLspires. Pound thus leL all its sweetness to truth, and enables it more deeply to interest and affect. Devotional ox- ercises have relation not only to the judgment, but to the aflections, and ar« designe«toelo. vate and ,p.rity them, by raising them towards God and heaven. Poetry and maslc tha, become the handmaids of rtHgion, supplying at once an appropriate medium for the evpm«ion of the sentiments and the feeling., and a powerful instrument by which tr extend'their influence. The most ancient poetic composition on record-thesongof Moses when the chU^n of Israel had eflected the passage of the Red Sea - had fbr its object the celebration of Jeli^^s , praises, on account of the deliverance he haa wrought out for his people ; this compoeltlon the Sacred page informs «s, was sur^ by Moses and the children of Israel. The exultation tf i)eborah and Barak-tho spiritual elevation of the Ix>vites, on Hezekiah's cleansing the house Of the Lord~nay, even the sounds of woe „tt-|d by Jeremiah, on the death of JoBlah- afford sufficient proof that the practice of singinE no unfit medium for the expression of the va^ed emotions which chequer this mortal state. (^ piety, then, refuse to aervethe Lord w.th gladness, and to come before his presence With singing. The New Testament not only affords sufflcent examples to warrant the practice of singing, but it is made even the subje^ of divinecommands-"/.a.,„^,, let kun ^ng psal^. ^ ^,,ning ana a^manmngone ano,.r ^n psaMs ar^ Krrrans aru, spiritual songs, Hngin, ^tK ^a^ in your keartsl Vu> Lora. 1 .3 g..eat Redeemer of the world did not himself disdain to joinin thus celebrating dlvme pra.os ; for we are^told that, after the institution of the Lord^s Supper, he mtM wift his djsciples to sing t^^jiymt. * ™ ♦ U |s app.r„„^ theSj^^ to u..^^ of the ^t and w« ,n.», »4 ft^ ^e puta«k instructions of Divine wte(*""^ "-* *»•- - - , r , " F^uicw.
