OBITUARY
MISS MARION MARKS
This ever popular hymn was
the first message in song written
by Frances Ridley Havergal. On
Jenuary 10, 1858, while' visiting in
Germany, she entered the study
of a minister of that nationality.
She was quite tired and while
sitting resting her .eyes fell on
an inscription placed under a pic-
ture of Jesus Christ as He hung
on the Cross, "I did this for thee:
What hast thou done for Me?"
As she gazed on the face of
the suffering Redeemer, the lines
of the hymn framed themselves
in her mind, Taking a pencil
she wrote the hymn on the back
of a •circular, When she read it
over she thought, it expressed her
emotions so inadequately that she
went to�put it in the fire. Then
she drew the paper back and
left to visit on elderly'lady in
an alms 'house. When she read
the words to her 'friend, the old
lady was so delighted that Fran-
ces Ridley Havergei copied them
and 'kept them. 'God has used
them'to -b1ees the souls of thous-
ands.
What is our personal answer
to that question: "I did this for
thee: What hast thou done for
Me?"

The sudden death on Friday,
October 8, of William George

He was an elder in the United
Church for a third of a century

good times and bad, he never
died In his duty of upholding

rict and one that will be hard
to fill in the neighborhood.
