WINGRAM A.DVANCE-TIMES
ORSHIP THE KING, ALL
GLORIOUS ABOVE."
Sir Robert Grant, the author of
this hymn, was born in the County
of Iriverriess, Scotland in 1785. He
was elected te represent Inverness
n Parliament in 1826: ' Later he
became a directer of the East India
Company and in 1834 was elected as
Governor of Bombay. He died at
Dapoorit, Western India, on filly
etli, 1838.
Grant was a man a wide interest5.
and deep neligious feeling. It is
eteresting to remember that while
he was a member of parliament the
• historian Macaulay neade his first
speech in stipport of Sir Robert
Grant's bill for giving some of their,
•rights to the Jews . While in India And girded with praise.
he devoted, a good deal of his time
O tell of His might,
O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light,
Grant's brother, published twelve of Whose canopy sae;
his hymns . Among these were: When
Gathering CloudAeound I View";
'Saviour, When in 7 Dust td Thee";
end -vvhat is endoubtedly his finest
effort, "0 Worship the King, All
Glorious Above."
This noble hymn is ptobably used
as much, if not more, than any other
to open services. It drew its ins-
piration from the One Hundred and
Fourth Psalm, and in its stately mcive-
ment and deep note of reverent ador-
ation is essentially Hebrew in con-
ception.
The author did not enjoy good
'health, and although little Past middle
life when be died, he seems to have
been prematurely old. . Not long be-
fore his 'death, he penned some verses
-which evidently reflected his thoughts'
on his general physical condition. One
verse runs:
"And now in age and grief The, name
Does still my languid heart inflame,
And bow my faltering knee. '
Oh, yet this bosom feels the fine,
This trembling hand, and dropping
lyre,
Have yet a strain for Thee."
Sir Robert's fine Christian chara.c-
ratite, was erected.
Several tunes have been set to
Grant's hymn, but the one which is
oftenest eung is Hayden's "Lyons."
Its vigor and spirit admirably fit the
majectic thought of the hymn. There
can be no doubt bet that this hymn—
like so many other universal favorites
—owes a good deal of its abiding pop-
ularity to the appropriate tette which
is no wassociated with it in nearly all
hymnals.
O worship the King,
All glorions above;
O gratefully sing
His power and His love;

books on India, and a number of. oth-

a wide circle of friends and, admirers.
After his death, striking testimony
was borne to the excellence of his
-work of Governor of Bombay, and to
his noble character by the inhabitants
of Bombay. A public meeting was
called, and as a tribute to his memory

co-operation it every social enterprise,
your kindliest sympathy in sickness
and sorrow, and the heiping hand ex-
tended to full arm's leegth in the hour
of need. The cheerftti optimism
which you radiated, hes ever been a
ay of sunshine as it were in the neigh-
borhood. As we recount your Vir-
ttleS, the more reluctant we become
to give tNti up, and we know those
of the teen age are findieg it a,s hard
to part With Alvie es we older ones
find it hard to part with his parents.
But We are pleased to know that you
aren't going so far away but what yon.

WINGHAIYI INC0IiPORATED
IN 1879
Following is an extract Ironi a his-
toric& sketch of Winghem published
in an Atlee of Huron County in 1879,
and possibly will be of interest tP
many of. our readers,
Wingham became a village on Janu-
ary ist, 1874, the population at the
time being slightly in advance of
700.
The village ecords show that Ben-
jamin Wilson was the first reeve; pr.
Tarriblyn;e1,, Davis, George.Pettypiece
and T. Gregory were the first couns
cillors; and, Walter J. Hayward was
chosen the first clerk Mr. Wilson
was again reeve in 1875, and Henry,
Davis, in 1876; followed, again by
Benjamin Wilson in. 1877 and also in
1878, which was the last year Wing -
ham rerneined a :village.
• During the previous year (1877) an
effort ,was Made to ineorPorate as a
tOwn. A special act • was prepaned
ehd'submitted to Parliament, but was
defeated by the strenuous opposition
of the inhabitants of LoWer.Wingliam,
WhO wished to be included in the
cerPoration, •The exteet of territory
howeeer; (were they inelked), Would
be geeater than the Municipal Act
allows,. without leaving out another
portion of the ''present 'corporation,
(that to :the northward), which ;is
ldoked 'upon .as much 'more valuable
than the low lands: adjacent to the
north'and'south branches of the Mait-
land. . Hence the opposition—the
'ILever toi.vn people atting on the doge

8thers out of a good thing because
they could notrprodere it for thern.ielv-

When the special act was .defeated,
the people Went' to 'work- With a will
and. secured the necessary local legis-
lation in the County Council to en-
able them to, iecorPorate under the
Act. The'v'arioes PetitiOns,

The Postmasters' Association of
Canada ,in View of the decrease in
the remeneretion of ,posemasters due
to the reeeeta.blishment' of penny pos-
tage, is asking the govermnent to ar-
range a new schedule of allowa.nces to
properly compensate them.The
T6ronto Saturday Night points out
that since Confederafion, when neivs-
Papers formed but little of the mail
handled, the commission fixed had
been increased but /3 per pent. ,on the
first $1,,000 and but 5 per cent on each
additional $1,eoo, During the same
period the cost of. living and wages
have incteased a hundred per cent.
There are in Canada 12,376 postmast-
ers of which 5,000 receive annnally $6o
or 20 cents daily foe despatching, re-
ceiving, ssotiing and handing out mail
