The hymnbooks do not contain a more exquisite lyric than Newman's 'geed, Kindly Light," says Allan Sutherland in the June DELINEATOR, nor one that is more acceptable to all denominations of the Christian faith. When the Parliament of Religions tnet in Chicago during the Coluuabien Ex- position, the representatives of almost every creed known to man found two things nn which they were agreed: They could all join in the Lead's Pray- er, and all could sing "Lead, Kindly Light." The bytnn was written when Newman, returning home from Italy afteraeerious illness, was becalmed for a week in the sunny waters of the Mediterranean. In striking contrast, the music was composed by Dr. John B. Dykes as ire walked through the Strand, one of the busiest thorough- fares of London. The hymn was a favorite of Gladstone, and also of President McKinley, and it was sung farand wide in the churches on the first anniversary of his death and burial.
