Wanted—A National Anthem The Government of the Irish Free State is seeking a national anthem for Ireland, and a competition hasbeen suggested as the best means of find- ing one. Ouriouly enough, the only European national anthem written to order was the Norwegian, computed by the poet Bjornson: The old Portuguese me tional hymn is unique in that it was written by an emperor, Dom Pedro of Brasil; although the ex-Kalaer an- nounced during the war that he had written a • new hymn for the German nation, Apparently, however, it was never published: The famous Basilian national an- them Is noteworthy in that the tune, by the oomposer Lvoff, was written be- fore the words, which` were composed afterwards by command •cf the Ozer.

At the moment of writing I read in the newspapers that the presses which print the Bible cannot peep pace with the demand. Bove did this demand arise? What maintains it? 'Why do people buy and read this ancient book, when they can buy and read ao much that is newer, fresher and on the sure face at least, more directly suited to their twentieth century needs? writes Basil King in "Harper's." Of ono thing we can be certain, that unless these boolts supplied some- thing which the heart of Europe and America craves for its sustenance, no such demand would continue: No- where else in history, to my know- ledge, do we rind a group of people, ex- tremely diverse among themselves, ap- propriating a whole literature not their own, which they had no part in producing, and living on it as tbey never liveonthe moat vital works of their own children. The phenomenon calla attention to itself, and is perhaps its own best ex- pilanation. Demand is always in proportion' to the quality of the supply, That Is all. There is no further mystery. It 1s with the Bible as with everything else Where there, is that which meets a need, those who feel the need will turn to it. No fictitious sentiment would keep the printing presses of the Bible working overtime. leo pietistic or sec- tarian or ecclesiastical incitement could, year in.and year out support a sale which possibly equals that of all the rest of the books of the world put! together.
