NEW WINGHAM
COMPANY PRAISED
Many interesting letters of apprec-
iation have been received by the Mer-
chants' Service Company of Wing-
harn from merchants of many lines
o* business throughout .the Province
of Ontario. These letters are high
in their praise of the efficiency of the
advertising plan this new company is
operating.
In May of this year, this Company
was formed by its sole owner, Mr.
jack McKay; whose office and ware-
house is in the Queen's Hotel block,
at the rear of the Dominion Store.
Since the Company's inception
a few months ago, the services of
four salesmen have been employed
and at the present time they have at
least one advertising deal in practi-
cally every city, town and village in
Western and Central Ontario.
This plan is of particular interest
to the public in general for through
this system they are enabled to pur-
chase useful guaranteed articles at ap-
proximately one half their usual value
simply by purchasing $10.00 worth of
merchandise of any kind handled by
the merchant who is operating the
plan, This amount does not have to
be purchased "at one time but rather
during a period of sixty days. The
merchant who is handling the system
benefits for the reason that the pub-
lic trade at his store in order that
And God anew .He thanked and
praised,
While kindness in His bosom glowed,
And from His lips salvation flowed.
'My blood I thus pour forth,' he cries
`To cleanse the soul in sin that lies;
In this the covenant is sealed,
And heaven's eternal .grave revealed.'
With love,to man this, clap is fraught;
Let all partake the sacred drought;
Through latest ages let it pour,
In memory of My dying hour.'
It must appear strange to many
that so little is known of the author

of the original of this noble and
greatly valued hymn, which came
front the land of Luther.
His name was Andreas Ellinger,
and he was born near Jena, at a vil-
lage called Orlamunde, about the
year 1526. He became a physician
and a professor in :a local college,
dying at Jena in Germany, in 1582.
We owe several of our hymns to the
medical profession, and especially
can we never forget that it was 'Luke
the Beloved Physician,' who gave us
the four grandest and earliest of
Christian hymns. "Glory to God in
the Highest," "My Soul Doth Mag-
nify the Lord," "Blessed be the Lord
God of Israel," and "Lord, Now Let -
test Thou Thy Servant Depart in
Peace." Dr. Ellinger's hymn written
in Latin, begins "Nocte qua Christus
rabidis Apellis."
Our version of it, very familiar to
Scottish Christians, since it is com-
monly sung at celebrations of the
Holy Communion in Presbyterian.
churches, comes to us from the pub-
lication of the Scotch paraphrases in
1781.
By this time hymns had crept into
the ordinary services of the churches
and chapels in England, thanks to
Ken, Watts, Doddridge and others at
the opening of that century who gave
their talents to the work of writing
new songs of praise. But in Scotland
people clung with great tenacity to
versions of the Hebrew Psalter, and
no New Testament or modern hymns.
Asearly as 1647 some steps were
taken to secure' translations of the
earliest Christian hymns, and after
the appointing of several committees
in July, 1745, a little "provisional."
volume of "Translations and Para-
phrases" was issued. This was not
a very valuable production, and it was
only in 1781 that under the same ti-
tle .a collection was put forward
merely as "allowed to be used," by
the General Assembly of . the Church
of Scotland.
The compilers and revisionists
were eminent men of their day, in-
cluding Robert Blair, author of "Thee,
Grave," and other poems; Michael.
Bruce, who wrote "The Ode to the
Cuckoo" as well as other good poet-
ry; and afterwards the perhaps too -
well known John Logan; Thomas
Blaciclock, friend and patron of Rob-
ert Burns; and John Morison.
The rise of poetry in Scotland, as-
sociated with the names of "Burns,
Hogg, "The Ettric Shepherd," Tan-
nehill, and others, no doubt contrib-
uted to formulating a,popular demand
for modern hymns.
Our "CommunionHymn was
translated and in the translation was
greatly improved, by the Rev. John
Morison, D,D, Some attempts have
been madeto belittle his title to its
composition, but to the present writ-
er there seems to be no reason to
doubt that it was his work,
Fine' scholar, able preacher as the
was; Dr. Morison was of a retiring
disposition, always glad to evade the
popularity to which his genius entit-
led hint., Consequently not very inch
is known of the circttinstances tinder
which he worked and wrote. Born
at Carnie in Aberdeenshire, in 1749,
he was trained at King's College, Ab-
erdeen, taught for a few years in the
parish school of Thurso, and was or-
dained in 1780. Apparently he spent
his whole ministry in what was for
years the most northerly maintained
parish in Great Britain, Canisbay, in
Caithness, only a mile or so away
from John O'Gioats House.
He died at Canisbay in 1798, and
a simple stone marks his resting
place in tis churchyard. He wrote
sever: of the paraphrases including
this one, which has ever since been
"associated with the Scottish Com-
munion as no otherhymn can ever
be," says Dr. Brownlie, an acknow-
ledged authority on the hymn writ-
ers of "The Church Hymnary," of
the Church of Scotland.
The well known tune to which our
hymn is usually sung, known as
.Rockingham and, because of its ad-
aption to its words, sometimes as
Communion was composed in 1790,
by Edward Miller, who lived from
1731 to 1807. It is one of about forty
which survive of the hundreds of
tunes written for the hymns of Watts
and the Wesleys in the eighteenth
century. I
