FAVORITE HYMNS
:Jesus, Saviour, pilot me
Over life's tempestuous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll,
Biding rock and treacherous shoal;
Chart and compass come from Thee,
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me!
As a mother stills her child,
Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boisterous waves obey Thy will
When Thou biddest them "Be still'!"
Wondrous Sovereign of the sea,
Jesus, Saviour, pildt me!
When at last I near the shore,
And the fearful breakers roar
"Twixt me and the peaceful rest—
Then,
estThen, while leaning on Thy breast,
May I hear Thee say to me,
"Fear not! I will pilot thee!" Anien.
The Reverend Edward Hopper, D.
D., was for many years, pastor of
the •poetically named "Church of.: Sea
and Land," in New York. He was
deeply' learned, a distinguished grad-
uate of the Union Theological Semi-
nary, born in x818, ordained to the
Baptist ministry in 1842, and the au -
even with the house screened.

Gets the fly tever'y'titzle
thor •of several hymns, including one
well known some forty years ago-
"They pray the best who pray and.
watch,"
It was for his own congregation
composed' largely of seafaring men
that he wrote his "Jesus, Saviour, pil-
ot me," which seems to have made
its first appearance in the Baptist
Praise Book of 1871. Three years
later Dr. Hopper published in a hym-
nal entitled "Hymns and songs of.
praise" a striking little hymn begin-
ning: "Wrecked and struggling in,
mid -ocean," But this never became
very popular and probably his "Pilot"
hymn will be the only one which will
preserve his memory in the future,
There is another hymn upon the
same subject written by "Kate Cam-
eron," Mrs, Maria B. W. Barnes with
"Jesus is our Pilot," for its first line,
This appeared in Bradbury's "New
Golden Censer," New York, in 1864
and some have suggested, rather un-
necessarily that this may have given
Dr. Hopper a. hint for his much finer
hymn.
There isgreater possibility that Dr.
Hopper's hymn has been assisted to
its popularity by the fact that it is
in the same metre as "Rock of Ages,
cleft for me," and has been sung at
various times to :one or other of the
fine tunes which musicians have com-
posed for, it. The tune written for
our hymn by, J. E. Gould, is, how-
ever, the one usually associated with
the words in this country.
Dr. Hopper embellishes and fol-
lows the Rev. Thomas Kelly's beau-
tiful and at one time immensely pop-
ular hymn:
"Why those .fears? Behold 'tis Jesus
Idoids the helm and guides .the ship."
Charles Wesley had travelled by
sea a good deal in those leisurely
sailing -ship days, when men would
spend many weeks on a voyage now
usually undertaken in six or seven
days. He had known storms while
on his way to and from our northern
cont:. Andknewas
continent. he did the
writer of a magnificent hymn in a
Hebre)v Hymnal which we know as
"The Psalms of David" who acknow
ledged the same pilotage, that it was
and is always the same Divine Pow-
er that "bringest them into the haven
,where they would be."
For it was Charles Wesley who
gaveustle voyager's e
r's
i m
i:-
'tLord,
Whom winds and waves ,obey,
Guide tts through' the watery way;
In the 'bellow of Thy hand,
l Iitle° 2d'
bilrro us safe to "latid."
,yal04. Q'' xt eN ki it,bt li. e
He it was who also wrote the more
majestic:—
"0 Thou who didst prepare
The ocean's caverned cell,
And teach the gathering waters there
To meet and dwell."
But most dramatic and true of sail-
ors' hymns is the one written by
Caroline Bowles, the Mrs. Southey
who ministered so loving to the par-
alysed poet laureate Robert Southey
in his last years.
"Launch thy bark, mariner!
Christian, God -speed theel
Let loose the rudder-bands--
Good
udder-bands—Good angels lead thee!
Set thy sails warily,
Tempests will come;
Steer thy course steadily;
Christian, Steer home."
"Master the tempest is raging," is
a favorite of later days, which also
displays the same trust in the Pilot
of all lives Our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ in its trustful lines:—
"The winds and the waves shall obey
Thy will
Peace be still, Peace be still."
The Rev. John Newton's fearful ex-
perience in his tempestuous return
voyage from his horrible African sla-
very, the stormy voyage wlftch finally
brought him in his penitence to the
feet' of the IR,edeem'er of souls, gave
him the material for his lines, sel-
dom found in the hymnbooks now,
beginning:—
"I hear the tempest's awful sound
I feel the vessel's gtick rebound;
And fear might now my bosom fill,
But Jesus tells me, "Peace be still!'
Then we have the saintly Bishop
Reginald Heber's grand hymn used
with wonderful influence on the mili-
tary transport ship carrying him to
his Indian bishopric, and to his death,
beginning:-
"When through the 'torn sail
The wild tempest is streaariing,
When o'er the dark wave
The red lightnuig is gleaming,
Nor hope lends a ray
The porn seaman to cherish,
We fly to our Maker—
"Save, Lord! or we, perish!"
tut none of these admirable hymns
have quite the same direct and sweet-
ly t.
a hctic
p appeal as D,r. Hopper's
little Pilot hymn, which deserves •"fp'
be a favorite one witli the brave, fel+
lows whose business itis to "vii' don
to the 'sea in ships."

site is of the greatest interest.
CYm.beline was called by has fath-
er Cunobelinus, and by this name'was
made known to us by the Roman.
governor netonius, who calls liirn
King of the Britons." That was net
an exact title, because the Briton*
were then a loose assemblage of
tribes of which the Trinobanaos were
one and, the Ieant were another.
Tasetovanus, the father of Caw-
Wilms
ann_belil s, came of .the .. Catuveleauni
who bad crossed to Britain about
200 B.C. and were one of the Ceitie
tribes to come into conflict with 3n -
Bus Caesar, He subdued them, and
made of their chief city the Roraan
stronghold of Verulam, now St.
Alkmnd.
When Tascikvanus, who with the.
Ciaiuveliaruni had adopted, various Ro-
man customs, congnered the Trin-
bantes he made Camulodunum file
chief etty in p')aee of Verudam. Curio
belinus, on sueeeeding his father in
Use year 5 b..D., decided to remain
theme, built a palace, and established
s coinage. Lite many other of the
chiefs of that time be envied Roman
ways and could speak the Roman
tongue. One of his coins bears his
name and title--IC:uisobelin s Rex.
No purely Roman coin has the 11t
Rex. its appearance on Csnobelinus'
coins may be the reason why Sae-
Winne
ao-touiva described him as loins of the
Britons.
Rome's far -Rung ng arm did not
reach him, or at all events' did not
interfere with lnhn, but when he died
in 43 A.D., iereaderg kis country to his
sons, Caraetaeirs and Togodurromus,
Rome stirred again.
Claudius; the . Roman eaaaperor,
sent Arias P9antins Savanna with
40,-000 mien to conquer Bx•3taln. One
of the legions was commanded by
Veepazhen. The 1 eman general
fought and defeated Caractaeas and
tOii brother on the Medwasr, and un-
der the leadership of Clandins him-
self comlaleted the subjugation of ail
the southern tribes.
A new kesnasn capital was I4tcrlt at
Oamniodanum, a charter was given
to the colony, and C1ar a went
back to Rose and the old tribal
town was submerged beneath the Ro-
man city.
NURSEMAIDS TO SEALS.
`Vatasht Great Away aAorort 7
i is to !heeding Grounds.
Warships of the United States and
Canadian navies annually accompany
a huge crowd of seals to the Brit!
.Islands in the Behring Sea. These
naval vessels act an escorts is order
to prevent sealers from attacking
toes victims until the season arrives
that is allowed by law.
A few years ago, seals were being
slaughtered in such immense num-
bers that it seemed.prebab a that the
creatures would vanish altogether
from the a heal world. So the Gov-
ernments of Qre t Britain., the Unit-
ed States, Ruses and Japan earanged
a treaty among themselves to safe-
gna.rd this great army of %Pal., ea its
journey through thousands of lanes
of sea to its breeding -grounds, ether -
wise known as rookeries.
Immed1ately the seals land on the
Wands, vindictive struggles for so-
premacy begin. The animals fight
for the best positions to establish
des for their wives and children
The female seals arrive in July. In
November, the rookeries -are aban
dosed again. The seals voyage forth
along the southbound course, where
live most of the fid on which they
feed. The brio makes good use
of the seal ita skin fashions covers
for his boat and tent, and from its
body he gets on, food, einthing, feel
and light.

Fruit Syrups
In the home canning of fruits the
syrup used is an important factor in
success. The kind of syrup to use
varies with different fruits. In pat-
ting up raspberries, peaches and pears
use 1 cup of sugar to 2 cups of wa-
ter; for rhubarb and cherries, 1 cup
of sugar to 1. cup ,of water; and for.
strawberries arid plums use 2 cups of
sugar to 1 of water. ,All syrups
should be boiled five minutes before
being added to jars. Fill jars with
fruit, packing as firmly as _possible.
without crushing then cover with,
syrup.
Butter Exports
The extent to which butter is again
growing as a factor in the export
trade of Canada is shown by the mar-
ket report issued by the Dominion
Dairy and Cold Storage Branch for
the week ending July 4, 1931. Total
exports from May 1 to July 4 this
year were 53,778 packages as compar-
ed with 1,584 packages for the cor-
responding period last year. Receipts
at Montreal for the same period, to-
talling 251,219 packages, show an in-
crease of 89,268 packages over 1930.
More Dollar Wheat for Western
Farmers
That the day of dollar wheat is
still with us is clearly shown by spe-
cial feeding tests conducted during
the past winter at the federal Experi-
mental Station at Rosthern, Sask.
Tests were made with low grade ,bar
ley and wheat. Twenty head of year-
ling Shorthorns were used in the test
and the grain was fed with cut oat
sheaves. It proved slightly cheaper
to produce a pound of grain with bar-
ley than with wheat but the import-
ant feature of the tests was the value
found for ,these grains when market-
ed through beef cattle, and this was
as follows:—

The lot fed ground wheat appeared

was fed. This shows conclusively
that live stock are rapidly increasing
in importance as a medium for the
marketing of grain crops.

R.O.P. Proves Quality
With the increasing demand for
high production laying stock Record
of Performance for Poultry comes in-
to its own. It is only by such a sys-
tem of practical trap -nesting on the
owner's premises over a consistent
period that the real worth of laying
pullets can be determined on a basis
which is commercially practicable. It
is from such flocks as these that the
supply of high grade male birds to !
head breeding pens for the coming
season are largely Rtveileble, With the
present; trend toward efficiency in
production th male bird ways se in-
creasingly intportent part. It is the
male bird. more than any other, sin,
gle factor upon wltieh success in the
breeding for production depends. It
is estimated that, on a basis of seven
male birds for every one hundred
breeding hens, over 7,000 pedigreed.
cockerels will be required to meet
the demand of the eornai g season.
hairy Herd Profits
A profit of $1,408.02 over cost of
feed from a dairy herd of ten cows
is an item of special interest in the
annual report of 1930 for the Domin-
ion Experimental Farm at Indian
Head, Sask. This represents anav-
erage profit over . cost of feed of
$140.80 under the . difficult conditions
of last year on the prairies. The feed
cost per head averaged $42.73, and
on most farms Practically all this
cost would ' be added profit through
the marketing of available feeds thru
the dairy herd, The low producer in
the record was only milked 118 days,
showing a profit over feed of $49,63,
while the high producer was Tulloch-
gorum Dorothy, in milk 355 days,
showing a profit over feed, cost of
$317.51. Butter -fat average for .the.
herd was 4,.34 per . cent.
Farm Products Trade.
Canada's total trade in farm pro-
ducts (exports and imports) for the
year ending March 31,. 1931, amount-
ed to $455,720,155. Of this amount,
$145,732,632 were imports and $309,-
487,523 exports. Trade with the Un-
ited Kingdom amounted to 'a total of
$213,109,820, of which $59,235,159
were imports and $153,874,661 ex-
ports. During the same period im-
ports of farm products from the Un-
ited States totalled $50,577,870 and
exports amounted to $42,378,616.
Helps in 'Weed Control
An interesting feature in connec-
tion with the use of coinmercial fer-
tilizers when drilledin with grain
crops is the fact that weeds are kill-
ed out by the heavy growth of the
grain plants. Extensive tests in the
growing of grains with fertilizer drill-
ed in with the seed carried out by the
Dominion Experimeptal' Station at
Scott, Sask., show that not only do
increased yields result from the use
of phosphatic fertilizers, but damage
from wireworms is lessened and the
rapid plant growth which results lit-
erally smothers out weeds.
