Mrs.Eddy has contributed the words of three of the hymns in the Hymnal.

Two of them appear in it six times altogether, each of them being set to three original forms of musical anguish.

Mrs.Eddy, always thoughtful, has promulgated a By-law requiring the singing of one of her three hymns in the Mother Church "as often as once each month." It is a good idea.

A congregation could get tired of even Mrs.Eddy's muse in the course of time, without the cordializing incentive of compulsion.

We all know how wearisome the sweetest and touchingest things can become, through rep-rep-repetition, and still rep-rep-repetition, and more rep-rep-repetition-like "the sweet by-and-by, in the sweet by-and-by," for instance, and "Tah-rah-rah boom-de-aye"; and surely it is not likely that Mrs.Eddy's machine has turned out goods that could outwear those great heart-stirrers, without the assistance of the lash.
