Hark! 'tis the voice of angels, Borne in a song to me, Over the fields of glory, Over: the jasper sea. Refrain: Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast, There by His love o'ershadowed Sweetly my soul shall rest. Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe from corrc+ding, care, Safe from the world's temptations, Sin cannot. harms me there. Free from the blight of sorrow, Free from my doubts and fears, Only a few more trials, Only a few, more tears. Jesus, my heart's dear refuge, Jesus has died for 'me; Firm on the Rock of Ages, Ever my trust shall be. Here let me wait with patience, Wait till the night is o'er; Wait till I see the morning Break on the golden shore. The writer of this hymn gives the following account of its origin:—"On April 30, 1868, Dr. W. H. Doane came into my house and said: "I have exactly forty minutes before my train leaves for Cincinnati. Here is a mel- ody. Can you write the words for it?" Then followed a space •of twenty min- utes, during which I was unconscious ff all else except the work I was do- ing. At the end of that time I recit- ed the words: "Safe in the arms of Jesus' to Mr. Doane. He wrote them down and had time to catch his train." But the idea behind\the words had been in the writer's mind for some years. In "Friendly Greetings," pub- lished by the Religious Tract Society of London, England, we are told;-- "On old;-"On one occasion in the City of New York there was a great rush of panic- stricken people. No one could tell what might happen; broken limbs or even loss of life. Amongst the fright- ened crowd was a mother with a lit- tle girl by her side. The child was weak and delicate and terribly alarm ed at the noise and commotion ar- ound her, and she cried piteously. Lifting her tenderly from the ground the mother tenderly folded her to her bosom, whispering as she did so, 'Hush my little one, you are safe now in mother's arms.' .A simple little in- cident, and one that would probably soon have been forgotten, but an eye- witness of the mother's action spoke of it to Fanny Crosby, and the scene was ever impressed upon her mind. The thought of the mother folding her trembling and now quieted child to her breast, suggested to her the beautiful idea of Jesus clasping trou- bled and sorrowful people to His kind heart and soothing and healing and comforting them. A few years later, and this well-known hymn, `Safe in the arms of Jesus' came from her gifted mind." The scriptural' warrant for her words, Fanny Crosby would derive from such texts as "He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom.." "Even to your old age I am He, and even to hoar hairs I will carry you: I have made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry and will deliver. "The eternal God is Thy Refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms," etc., etc. The hymn always sung to its own melody has always been popular, and first prepared in W. H. Doane's col- lection, "Bright Jewels," published in 1869, Dr. Doane—he received the de- gree of Doctor of lvLusic from Deni- son University, Ohio—was a music- ian composer who devoted his tal- ents to the cause of religious music, chiefly for Sunday Schools. He was a Connecticut man born in 1881, and though an active business man devot- ed much time to religious enterprises. He edited the Baptist Hymnal of 1886, and published several little books of sacred songs in conjunction Ir COMPARE YOUR OLD °TIRES WITH THESE.

W.INGHAM VVin ham, Ontario PattiParader Tubes are C000siyearqualiEty with Rev. Robert Lowry such as "Sabbath School' Gems," "Little Sun- beams,' "Silver Spray," etc, c es an Francis Jane Crosby (Mrs. Alex- ander VanAlstyne) died as recently as February 1915, at the grand old age of ninety-five: She was born in Jutman County, New York State "When I was six weeks old," she wrote, "a slight cold. caused inflain ation of the eyes, Our usual doctor was away from home, so a strange was called in. He recommended th use of hot poultices, which practical ly' destroyed my: sight, When this sad calamity became' known, the unfor- tunate man thought it best to leave the neighborhood, and we never heard of him again." But I have' not for a moment, in more than,eighty-five years, felt a spark of resentment against him; for I have always be- lieved that the good Lord, in His in- finite mercy, by this means consecrat- ed me to the' work that I am still permitted to do." At nine years of age she was writ- ing verse as follows: "O what a happy soul I am, Although I cannot see; I am resolved that in this world=l: Contented will be." At fifteen she entered the New. York Institution for the Blind, where she remained for eight years as a pu- pil and for fifteen as a teacher. She became an eager student and learned to be a fair musician. But her soul was wrapped up in poetry and she published two books of ,poems while at the Institute. She had a facility for writing simple songs, and we owe to her many old time secular favor- ites. Fanny'' Crosby as she called herself, left the Institution for the Blind in 1858, to marry' a blind fellow teach- er named Alexander Van Alstyne, with whom she lived happily for for- ty-four years. He died in 1902, hav- ing been organist at different New York churches as well as a teacher of vocal and instrumental music. In 1863 she met W. B. Bradbury, a writ- er of simple hymn tunes, who want- ed some one to write verses for his music, and for whom she wrote her first hymn: "There's a cry from Macedonia." That began 'a long life of similar work for Mr. Bradbury, Philip Phillips (the Singing Pilgrim) H. P. Main, Dr. Lowry, W. H. Doane, Ira D. Sankey, P. P. Bliss, W. F. Sherwin and others. "I have written probably about eight thous- and," she once wrote"in answer to the question as to how many hymns she had written. It has been said,that she was under regular contract with the publishers, Biglow and Main, of these composers' book to write so many hymns a week, for which she was duly paid. She wrote far too many to really produce any great hymn, and prob- ably many of those she wrote derived whatever popularity they arrived at very largely from the melodious airs to which they were set. Several of her hymns are well-known to this generation as for.instance, "Jesus keep me near the cross," "Pass me not, 0 gentle Saviour," "Rescue the perishing," "Sweet hour of prayer," and "Lord at Thy mercy seat." For some reason or another her hymns first appeared over varied in- itials, pseudonyms such as Ella Dale, Jenny V., Jenie Glenn, Kate Grinley, Viola, as well as over her names Fan- ny Crosby and Fanny VanAlstyne, and owing to this curious habit, she has seldom received full credit for her contributions to sacred song. But her simple hymns have been sold up to many millions of copies, and very few English.speaking Christians are not familiar with some of them. INS!

Take thein whenever you suffer from a' e Headaches Neuritis Colds Neuralgia Sore Throat Lumbago Rheumatism Toothache Advises Use of Flail In a recent memorandum with re- spect to the preparation of seeds for exhibition purposes. L. H. New- man, Dominion Cerealist, gave the following advice regarding threshing: "The method of threshing the ex- hibition grain is a matter of import- ance. A very good plan is to flail the sheaves by hand on a canvas, spread out on the ground near the stooks or stack, on a bright sunny day. Only a very few strokes of the flail should be given each sheaf as the large, well developed kernels will roll out , first. The kernels remaining in the l sheaf may be threshed out later in the ordinary way. • Barley to Britain Final arrangements have been com- pleted by Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, Minister of Agricttlttire, and Hon. G. H. Ferguson, Canadian High Com- missioner to Britain whereby Ontario will make a definite bid to capture the overseas barley market this year, When your head aches—from any cause—when a cold has settled is your joints, or you feel those deep- down pains of rheumatism, sciatica,. or lu mbago,. take Bayer Aspirin and Ret real relief. If the package says The ,energetic steps taken by 'the growers under leadership of the wineries committee have been bearing fruit: With the winer- ies' requirements greatly reduced, the growers were faced with the necessity of making arrangements to sell this year's heavy .crop in some other man - n Cr. Steps have now been taken to re- vive the fresh fruit market for grapes in the prairie provinces, in Ontario' and Eastern Canada. An intensive' market campaign has been entered in- to and an appropriation made for ad- vertising the household use of grapes which will be put onall markets at at- tractive prices. If, really dependable table fruit, Canadian -grown, and if placed on the market at a reasonable 'price, its acceptance by the consumers seems to be assured. Success in this dyer, it's genuine.

BEWARE OF IMITATIONS Test shipments of eight different grades of barley are being dispatched to England and after the market con- sumers there have made their selec- tion a carload of the 'preferred grade will be forwarded from here. It is understood that 20,000,000 bushels of barley can be taken from Ontario if conditions are satisfactory. At pres- ent aprice, of $1.08 per bushel is be- ing paid, less costs of shipment. The British market is fairly well agreed now that O. A. C. No. 1 barley is the best barley that can be obtained for malting purposes.' Fresh Fruit Market For Grapes The grape growers of Ontario are in a fair way to solving the market- ing of this season's crop, according to Charles W. Bauer, secretary of the Ontario Growers' Market Council. Y NIVESIEMBIR KB WHICH COURSE? General Arts Beading to a B.A. de- gree? Honor Arts leading to a Specialist degree?
