SACRED SONG IS OF ALL CREEDS.
But it is in our worship, more than anywhere else, that we come closest to the onf universal church. In the liturgies of churches, the old Romish forma have bequeathed their choicest prayers and praise—.their Glorias, Te IJeums, and anthems. We unconsciously, in our devotions, use the unsurpassed passages of the litany and collects the prayers of our Episcopal brethren. We sing Wesley's hymns in Calvinistic churches, and many a devout Methodist breathes out his faith in the evangelical hymn, "My Fait!) Looks up to thee." \Vc love to raise our voices to the words of JSts. Bernard and Francis Xavier found in our Presbyterian by mil books. "Lead, Kindly Light," sings the Catholic Newman; "Nearer, My God, to thee," pleads in song the Unitarian Mias Adams; "In the Cross of God I Glory," shout 3 Bowring, the Unitarian ; "Angels of .Jesus," prays the Catholic U'aber; "One Sweetly Solemn Thought," sings the Universalist Phebo Carey.
