The question was not what ousted, bu t what was in use in the church. Dr. Bap, in a treatise on this sub­ ject, in doting the passages in Eph. 5; 19, Col. 3; 16, that “ hymn singers were generally agreed that if these passages did not give authority for tnakiug sud ringing hymns, there waft no authority in the New Testament,** and adds “ it is morally certain that the apostle referred to the Bible Psalms” when he speaks, of * ‘psalms, hymns mid spiritual songs” in each of them. I scarcely know what to say when Q uib says that Watts and Wes­ ley wen both of them holier men than David. There is not a bible character that ismore fully recognized as setting forth ihat which is good and faithful and true, than he, save the Son of God of which David was an eminent type. He had his human.able as eve­ ry man has and probably they are left on record that we might know that he and all men belong to the seme fallen n ee that we belong to. But while David’s great sins are on record, bis deep penitenoe is recorded also; read the 51st psalm. Qui* also stumbles because there are more version#of the psalms than one,»A* new and the old, and that in versifying there are words supplied. I t is to be regretted that is cur imperfect state nothing perfect can be attained. But it is our pur­ pose and our aim to he as near as God in his mercy may enable us. We adhere to the 350 subject matter of praise in God's wor­ ship, and in the best possible metrs. Our faith is not pinned to Rouse, only far as they supposed so t o be the most faithful who wore Christians, hymn singers. But there is noprooffrom thnBible,no proof A a tC k rirto r tbs iq»e#)i 'wrer sang an uninspired hyma, orever sane. tamed I t There is so djhriaewarrant, no “ thus aaith tha Lord* fer the .use OTBJMWML fNM|l§fk,‘. Ooe argnmeat for the uee o f psalms is, they am i s i p iN M ^ if M m att* thor of the parima. The hymac sto not inspired—man ieA t author o f the hymns. Brother Quia, which is the better author? Wh&his better qual­ ified to give tha church a manual of praise? A it the matter of inspiration seems to have no weight,with Brother Quit. He says, “ I f I were a Jew I would insist on staging the Jewish psalmody, but as I am a Christina I prefer modern psalms and hymns.” Astonishing! Has it come to this, tha t a Christian prefers the hymns o f uuinspired men to the inspired psalms of which God is the author? Is Quia ready to iay aside the psalms o f the Biblebecause they were written by a Jew? The metrical version of the psalms is no more Jewish than other parts of the Bible. Brother Quis might ju st as well, say, “ I f I were a Jew I would insist on reading the Jewish psalmody, the Jewish Scrip­ tures; but as I am a Christian I prefer to read in worshipmodern psalms and compositions of uninspired men.” But Quis intimates Acre is not enough of Christ in the psalms. Why, Christ ia Aa ihaaM, the subject matter of ^he psalms. They tell of his charac­ ter, life, death, atonement, resurrec­ tion, ascension, dominion. There is no part o f the Bible so full o f Christ as the psalms, no part quoted so fre­ quently by Christ and his sposttes a* referring to him. Another argument for the use of pnritn* in worship is, God h it giren us a Book of Psalms fer tha ns* o f the church In all ages, put it in the p . ' iBiMe; ha has never given nay atker, rasiras as QQr mtkorbwd aaybody to prepare aaotber. No such argumeat eaa ha givea for the um of hymn*. Another argument fer M m use of psalms in worship is, a divine oom- mand in tha Old Testament, and the i » . t on n n p n , lb .
