as it exiiressed his views, must hay
passed to the, Great Beyond. Just been a great comfort to hien. Shortl
before hie death a hundred years ag
be revised it somewhat and it has
come' down to us as it appears today
shortly prior to his death this humble
servant rat of the Lord had made a final
revision of that beautiful hymn,
"Abide With Me." Included in the
ohservarieest will be the unveiling of a
memorial tablet to Henry Lyte .:in
poets' .corner of Westminster Abbey.
This beautiful hymn was written
In 1847. Although only 44 years of
in tiotible:oi'• sow kind. At sea ,times
no human message; can help, it is only
the word of God which can penetrate
into the soul and 'bring comfort. It
was common lesowledge to him as
it is to us all, that in times when
the tempter subtly .creeps into our
lives that , any God can 'help; no to
overcome its power, and He will do
it. No matter what- the temptation,
God is • always a greater power than
e the devil, but it ieneceveary, for us to
y believe ise Him and ask Him to be
o part of
our
very being be
o
xe we colt
expect i
to
x'p m
Hcome to gni help in
times of temptation. Many tisnee, Eke
Peter, we 'are following "afar, off".
and yet eve expect Christ to help us.
There is no,power of the devil which
we need to fear if Christ is with us.
(Lave you some pet sin? If rave ask
Christ to help us when the tempter
comes we 'will readily see how easily
the temptation is overthrown:
decently a missionary in China
eagerly awaited the arrival of his
'wife and three children whom he had
left in Canada. One day he had been
out about his work as usual, when he
returned he found a message stating
that they were missing, The Chinese
'paper the following morning told
the tragic story of the plane crash.
rAls far as hiswife and family were
concerned he was alone. He flew to
where ,they had been buried the day
previou:4y. Through, it all he was able
to sa that the Lord knew best. What
faith!
That same trust we find in Henry
Francis Lye. He knew that his work,
on Earth wash practically finished
and yet he was able to sit dawnand
write that beautiful hymn which has
meant so much to others who are
laid aside or who are feeling that
their days of usefulness here aro
numbered. They have been recalled
on countless. beds of pain and }Jaye
been sung at the last rites of many
of ,),lis saints, t•; ,
Just prior to ;time of the carrying
out of her unjust death sentence in
Europe in 1915, Nurse Edith Cavell
joined iMr. Gahan; the British Chap-
lain in repeating this . hymn. As he
left she smiled and said, "We shall
meet again; Heaven's morn shall
break and Earth'ts vain s'hado'ws flee."
It is said that Shackleton faced death'
in the snows to the comfort of its
yvords,
In conclusion the author prays that
God will ahold His cross before his
eyes 'which are closing to all on
earth 'and that it: will shine through
the gloom preceding 'death and will
point the way to that .betterland
above. So many fear the journey
from death to the next world butwe
need have no fear, Christ 'will' be
right with us and the change from
death to life will be radiant with His
Presence.
Throughout the hymn there is a
sadness of farewell, a (thought that he
was leaving alt earthly things behind
him, but a joyousne e which it would
be well for us to make ours;, tkat of
knowing that we have chosen the
age he realized that he was nearing better part and that when our call

had worked .among the lowly people door from earth into eternity, cam.
of a D'evons'hire congregation. On
account of his health he decided to
Spend the next winter in Italy. One
pared to which the iwbrld hast no com-
parison. The thought of departure
is made clear by the different ideas;

ton which meant so.'muto hire. life's' atle day;, I need Thy presence

that ere long he would not be alone,
that the Palet woud board Ms boat.
and' safely guide hien to the Eternal
snores of that land from whose
bourne no traveller ever returns.
On this earth there is a constant
change and decay. From springtime
to harvest and from fail to staring.
Not long after that he left the its-.
trigt and before many months he
passed away,
We have .perhaps heard that ex-
presion "the longest day at last bawl
dawn to even." We have likely all sat
in quietness.' and watched the twi-
light, then the night descending.

long we live, we eventually have to
answer the call of God. The world is
blotted from our finite minds and we
go on to the infinite, Whatever we
have chosen will be our lot through
the everlasting ages to 'come.
The author of this hymn was evi-
dently a man who loved and preached
Christ. He ministered to a hnunbie
congregation and contracted some
condition for which at that time
there was no known sure. Besides the
Weakness which accompanied it there

more, physically speaking, could be

After preaching Isis farewell ser-
