I see Thee not, I hear Thee not, Yet art Thou oft with me; And earth hath ne'er so dear a spot As where I meet with Thee. Like some bright dream unsought, When slumbers o'er ine roll, Thine image ever fills my thought, And champs my ravished soul. Yet, though I.have not seen, and still Must rest in faith alone,. I love Thee, dearest Lord, and will, Unseen but not unknown. The Rev, Dr. Ray Palmer, writer of the famous hymn `.`My faith looks up to Thee," was for the last two years of his life confined to his home by paralysis. His solace at this per- iod of helplessness was the repeating of hymns and passages of scripture. And greatly he needed comfort, for he had during many years ranked arn; ong :the most powerful and most sought after preachers of his age. He had always been an unusually busy man, if not preaching, or per- forming the manifold duties of gen- eral secretary of the Congregational Union, writing devotional works, poems and, songs of praise. To such a one a life of inactivity must have been a continual martyrdom. One day his son broke the news to lune that the hour of his death was approaching. ;;"Thank God," ejaculat- ed the saintly old warrior. As the time of dissolution drew near he was still repeating hymns. The watchers caught snatches of Wesley's "Leave, alit leave me ont alone, Still support and •comfort me," and of his own, "Take all my guilt away." Just as life was ebbing his son bending over. him found him repeating the verse:-- "When erse:-"When death theee throbbing eyes shall - seal, And still this throbbing heart, The rending veil shall Thee reveal, All glorious as Thou art. He just finished the verse, his lips stilled—stilled in death, Probably he should be ranked am- ong the foremost, if not the foremost that comes of United States hymn -writers. ` His t1e pocket book, .and fora year or two let them remain hidden there. A chance conversation with the mas- ter musician Dr, Lowell Mason in a Boston street, led to the two going into a store together, where Ray Palmer made a copy of the Hymn for Dr. Mason who was about to publish a hymn and tune book. And it was the insight of the musician, who wrote for it the tune "Olivet" which first lent it 'popularity, that recogniz- ed the extraordinary merit of the hymn, and gave it to the world. But all of Dr, Ray Palmer's are good, several of them excellent, and' the one quoted herewith is • generally admitted to rank among his best. One who knew the author well des- cribes him as "One of the loveliest of men. He was exceedingly agree- able in conversation, which had al- ways a spiritual tone." His hymns were therefore just what'nzight have been expected from' one of his char- acter and ability. definite hold upon the fundamental truth of Christianity, salvation thru the merits and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, permeated all of his hymns, and that is the essence which imparts into them, and the other great .songs of the sanctuary the element of im- mortality and of helpfulness. After some business experience as clerk, and some few years of teach- ing, Ray :Palmer the son of a judge, was in his twenty-fifth year licensed to preach in the Congregational min- istry in 1832.: For fifteen years he of, ficiated in the little town of Bath, Maine, and then for sixteen years he ministered to a congregation in Al- bany-, N.Y. Then for twelve years he was secretary to the Congregational Union. Worn out by his indefatig- able attempts to fill a fruitful Iife' with service, he was.compelfed to re- tire in 1878, and went to live at New- ark, N.J. But his seventy years could not save him from being called upon con- tinually as a preacher, and his spare time was completely taken up with writings. Religious and other period- icals were constantly supplied• with articles from his pen, and a whole library -shelf f b i e e accredit • Thomas Smale Thomas Smale, . a former well- known resident of Wingham, passed away at his home in Brantford, on Sunday, lelarch 15th, in his 70th year.
