According to these expositors not even ths first word of the triplet puinis to the Dkv- idic psalms; Adam Clarke also seems to be indoubt about this word refer- iug to the old testament psalmody. The word hymifk Olshaiisett and Stier apply to any chnstian song of pr.tise. ‘The word is inherited from the pagan churchy so t</ speak,.and signified a.poem sung in hqhor of a god,’ says Whedon. Albert Barnes comments, ‘a hymn is properly a song or ode in honor of God. * 'One thing is proved clearly by this passage that there were other compositions used in the praise of God than the psalms of David; and if it was right then to make use ofsuch compositions it is now.’ Will Psalm Singer make war with these giants? By spiritual songs is meant any metrical composition set to tune, ex­ pressing any phuseof Christian feeling or enperience. TlmsJ the fact |s es­ tablished, as stated by^the Bib. Oyo., ‘Nor were the psalms the only sacred songs employed in the service o f the early church.’ Again let me remind you that I am not speaking ag:,inst psalm singing! but to prove to you ns a seeker of truth, that psalms and hymns o f human composition have a£ ■much, i f not more, new testament indorsement than the’ p«:dms of the' old testament. According to the former expositions, after the founda­ tion of the Christian church at Pente­ cost, there is no new* testament" au­ thority for singing bid testament psalms. I agree with Psalm Singer that the ‘most excellent hymns kept in their place, may be used to edifiop- thn.’ And Paul tells their place ■is ‘singing to the Lord,* and .

Eph, 5:19, Opl. 3:16.’ Who ismistaken, Kitto or Psalm Singer? By psalms in these passages may be meant David’s psalms, or such com­ posures as were fitly sung with musi­ cal instrument, *nys Henry. ‘They most probably denote a sacred song o f a character similar to that o f the psalms o f the old testament,’ say Meyer and ElKeott; the most critical expositors. They oritioiea those who confine the Word to the psalms o f the ties.sang the pr/^sep of God; and the first sound which readied the Pagan ear from the secluded sanctuaries of Christianity was the hymn to-Christ msGod, mentioned iu the ' famous epistle of Pliry.’ Psalman, your '’■friends assume what they can not prove, that the Holy Spirit did not inspire Watts and Wesley to compose hymns. Both of themwere holier meu than David, Julian speaks of the excellent hymns of liis day (33W tf.) ‘composed by men umpiredby n divine spirit.’ You sing psalmsversified by Rous in 1646, but forget that’ nearly every verse con­ tains words supplied by this man of dissipated habits. Is qjjt that 110(11411 composition? A single fly spoils the bottle of ointmont. Then your churches insist on their own version. Where is the scriplure authority for considering the old version any better than the new? In 1787 the Kirk of Hcotlatid, your mother church, thro the General Assembly, published a uumber of paraphrases containing human composition from the psalms or hymns of Prs., Watts, Doddridge, Blncklock, and Mr. Logan, to lie used in the churches. Did it commit sin? I f 1 were a Jew I would* insist upon singing the Jewish psalmody. But as lam a Christian I prefer to sing modern psalms and hymns which sing of the life "and death of Christ, his atoning bloifd, resurrection, and ascension, iiolfie o f which in their full est sense, arejotiud in the O.
