The Young Preacher Does Not Sing.

A sad thought fills my mind. It takes the form of a question. Is Methodism resigning its power of song toothers? It looks as if she was. There is little singing at family worship even- when there is such worship among our people. May be when one of the veterans comes along that was brought up under the old regime he will sing, but hardly the smart young preacher of these times. He will take a hand with the girls at the piano or organ, and give a good bass to some modern ditty—l mt that hearty praise of God in song regularly in the houses of our people and among their children and servants, where is it? Let us seek for the old paths. They were safe and pleasant paths, and ■ our fathers had much delight in them.— St. Louis Christian Advocate.
