Yes, we'll gather al the river, The beautiful, the la;,autiful river, Gather with the saints _at the river That flows from the thrt;ne of God. Ere we reach the shining re Lay we every burden down;`, Grace our spirits will deliver, And provide a robe and crow, a• At the smiling of the river, Mirror of the Saviour's face; Saints whom, death will never sever Lift their songs of saving grace. Soon we'll reach the shining river; Soon our pilgrimage will cease; Soon our happy hearts will quiver With the melody of grace. From the earliest Apostolic days Christians made use of "Psalms and HH'ymns and Spiritual Songs,.. in their homes as well as in Divine Worship. A writer of the second oentury says that one could everywhere hear . the ploughman at his task singing songs to God in the fields; In 480 it will be remembered a great victory was won at Mold in Flintshire; N. Wales; have known and valued it. Of all the in what history calls the "Hallelujah writer's songs, not even "Where is Battle," over the. Picts and Scots, be- my wandering boy tonight?" "My cause the Christian soldiers went in- home is in heaven, my rest; is not tc battle singing an Easter son gwith here," ever became more popular. a chorus of Hallelujahs. At the important Robert Raikes its writer, the Rev. Robert Lowry, is "Shall we gather at the river?" It was written in July, 1864, in Elliot Place,N.Y. I.lace, Brookl) ih, N1.Dr. Lowry be- ing at that time in charge of a Baptist parish in that city. The season w.as hotand a. greats deal of sickness and death among his people depressed the rioctnr who was then beginning to write his long series of hymns and tunes. "Friends and acquaintances," says a friendly writer, "were passing away to the spirit land in large num- bers; The question began to arise in the heart, with unusual emphasis, "Shall we meet again? We are'part- in g ' the t to r ivtr of death, shall we meet at the river of life? Why do hymn -writers say so much about the river of death, and so little about the ixure river of the water of life?" Dr. Lowry continues the story; "Seating myself at the organ simply to .give vent ,to the pent up emotions of the heart, the words and music of the. hymn began to flow out, as if by `in spiration: `Shall we gather at the river Where bright angel feet have trod?' In speaking of the song in later years Dr. Lowry safd.i' "It is brass - band music, has a march movement, and for that reag.en has become pop- ular; though for myself,' I do not think much of it!" It is not a ne- rnarkably "high class" composition,. but it has made a good place for it- self. Thousands ofun a S d Schools Y have sung it, hundreds of thousands who have crossed the river of death Times of revival, which 'come at certain times usually in conjunction with some doctrinal' or reforming movement such as Luther's Reforma- tion in. Germany, Wicliffe's in Eng- land, or the Wesleyan and Oxford Tractarian movements in later days, were especially fruitful in sacred song. • There was a wonderful set of nen jn the United States at the end of the nth and through a good part of the h oentury, who wrote great num- s of such songs. The Sunday .ol movement, the after effects tie1;1 sleyan teaching and the =ifhg of many . evangelists were doubt among the causes of this. But the presence of such men of pe- culiar genius ''as Thomas Hastings, Lowell Mason P. P 'Bliss, W. H. Doane. Robert Lowry, H. ':1:, Feltner and Ira D, Sankey made inevitable appearance of such new songs, these men were natural singers of the gospel of salvation. It was and is the fashionto talk, Somewhat contemptuously of their onenely pretty songs, not over strong 'poetically or musically but easily learnt and sung, and once as popular:. as even the comic or sentimental songs of the moment. But they had and have their place in the Church's plan. Children sang ;them willingly. They went with a swing and a lilt at mission or revival services. They. -formed recreation around reed org- ans or pianos on Sunday and tither evenings in the homes. -Sometimes souls -callous tci other influences were reached and blessed by thein. And many of thesesongs have made their way into hymn books and are valued as helps' in the Divine Services. One of these, which was certainly never meant for such exalted fluty by t; Centennial Celebration in London, Eng., Dr. Lowry: was espied by the chairman sitting alone at the back of i the hall.

But "great- est of all intolerances is that of re- ligion. Are we content each to follow in ort• own way? We are not. The most of us think our own way is the only way. When we set out on a journey, we may go by train, we may go by boat, or we may drive, If we drive, we may take the straightest road on the best highroad, and get to cur destination as quickly as possible or we may go a slightly longer way and seen more of the towns and ,cit- ies on the way, or we may take the Highroads and byroads, and drive on the old dirt roads, just meander along taking all the time we wish, None of our friends interfere in the way we make our journey. But aye they as tolerant: of our religion? Theii way is the only way. We maybe all mak- ing for the same place, but unless we go their way, they are intolerant.. And politics! Oh me, oh my! There is only one kind of politics, and that is our own. I once knew two old men—old enough to know better— one of thein was a Grit and the oth- er a Tory. They lived side by side, and were e theest reacronies, g t on es, almost inseparable, until an election carne al- ong. They started out as friends but it did not last. long. In a short time they were not on speaking terms, nor did they speak to each other until the election was over. The day after the election, they came together, as if no- thing had happened, no matter which side won. Silly, weren't they? : It just shop's what intolerance will do. ter it Was over, that I had perhaps done some little :good in 'thee world." • There are not many Sunday School workers who do not know the 'pretty song about the "river the 'streams whereof shall make glad the City of God," "proceeding mit of the throne of God and of the Lamb."
