The Bible study, led by Mrs. Campbell, was based on the prayer of Hannah as found in 1 Samuel, chapter one. From the study, the members learned the attitudes they should have in prayer : patience, sincerity, faith, forgiveness to others, persever- ance, hope and assurance of an answer. "Knowing all these things about prayer ,is of no value unless we put them into prac- tice," Mrs. Campbell said. A hymnsing was led by Mrs. Terry Nethery, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Hugh Clugston. The story of the famous hymn - writer, Isaac Watts, was related by Mrs. Clugston. He is ap- propriately called "The Father of English Hymns" as he wrote the first hymn in the English langu- age in 1700. Isaac Watts felt hymns should convey the Chris- tian'sfeelings toward God and be brought up-to-date. As a result, he composed "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross", a hymn based for the first time on New Testa- ment scriptures. Other familiar hymns written by Watts are "0 God, Our Help in Ages Past", based on Psalm 90:105, "Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun",based on Psalm 72 and "Joy To The World", Psalm 98.
