Rev. Harrey's sermon lt Sundny on thj centennial of fong or the LUtory of hytnnology was a errand treat to those who heard it. It la only about one hundred 3-ears since became general In the and it la singular hat a stubborn controversy was waged In the churches over this question. During the early years cf the Catholic church the priests usually did the singing, or rather the chanting, of the realms, and prophecies In a tone that would not be considered melodious in these days. Luther, Calv in and other reformers set their faces like a flint againjt even this approach to singing In the church.

Luther was a composer of imitdc, and his popular tune "Did Hundred'' will probably never die, but he thought it sacrilege to sing in the house of God. House's metrical version of the I'salms had great ilillleulty in getting heard in the Presbyterian church. Finally a concession wa3 made, allow ing one iVaim to be sung after the benediction had heen pronounced, so that those who did not want to have their sense of religious propriety shocked f.nd outraged could leave the house, and not lid-n to it. I.ut it was not until the time of the Wedeys and Stennett that hymns and song, as distinguished from the IValms in meter, began to make headway in the church. The music began to partake of vigor and inspiration and the songs to breathe a Pleasure of za! and enthusiasm, whbh both lired the heart of the worshipper and the attention of unbelieving hearers.

The trouble of today is in the multiplic Time to Wo Snmollilii. Hro. Abbott of tho Chetopa Statcstnun, complains of tho meager support he is getting from the union labor peoplo of Labette count). A friend informed us somctimo ago that when his paper was the only paper the union labor peoplo had in that county, ho did not have more than one-fourth tho voters' names on his subscription list. This seems to bo tho caso very hero supremo indifference among; many union labor peoplo as to whether the papers live or die.

Why talk about tho success of the union labor principles, when men in well-to-do circumstances will let union labor papers starve and cripple along; under their very noses? Wo sa shamo on such indifference! If thero is any ono thing more than another that has crippled tho cause and retarded ils growth it is tho manifest indifference- of union labor people to tho welfare of their papers. Xot ono editor in a dozen in our ranks is over in a fit condition to do justice to tho cause they r.ro sacrificing; everything for, owing to the fact that they two continually embarrassed. The get such a poor miserable support that it is hard to keep soul and bod)- together, and it is a constant struggle for existence We, for one, have got tired of this effort to eko out an existence, when it could otherwise if our party friends would so will it, and we're oitig to let somebody else take a hand in the orgau-gri nd-ing business in this county, unless we can have a decent support and that soon. i 1 Mepirs.
