14iy-God, 1 love Thee; not because
I hope for heaven thereby,
Nor yet because who love Thee not
Are lost eternally.
Thou, 0 my Jesus, Thou' didst me
Upon the Cross embrace;
For me didst bear the nails and spear
And manifold disgrace.
And griefs and torments numberless,
And sweat of agony;
Yea, death itself; and all for me
Who was Thine enemy.
Then why, 0 Blessed Jesus Christ,
Should I not .love Thee well?
Not for the sake of winning heaven,
Nor of escaping hell;
Not from the 'hope of gaining aught,
Not seeking a reward;
But as Thyself hast loved nie,
:O ever-loving Lord.
So would 1 love Thee,. clearest Lord,
And in Thy praise will sing;
Solely because Thou,art my God,
And my most loving King. Amen.
The authorship of this beautiful
hymn has been ascribed by some to
St. Teresa of Spain, who lived from
1575 to 1582, and who is still a favor-
ite saint of Spaniards and French
people also. Immigrants to New
France brought their respect for her
•or another of the same, to Canada,
which respect is still embodied in cer-
tain place names where the French
language prevails:
But the Spanish sonnet containing
its sentiments has not been found'a-
mong Teresa's writings, and though
in a volume of her poetry published.
in, 1854 the hymn' is' boldly set down
as being her work, it is now generally
acknowledged that the claim cannot
be proved.
On the other hand there has been
since x668 a Latin version of this
hymn in existence, the work of some
German Roman Catholic author, or as
most people think of St. Francis 'Xa-
vier, the famous' Jesuit missionary. In
that year it was credited to him in
two separate publications, and that
ascription has apparently been seri-
ously challenged only bypartizans of
the St. Teresa theory, which as has
been said, is incapable of proof.
Francis Xavier, whose labors and
zeal for his Master's service entitle
him to rank among those we honor
with the title of saint, even though
the miracles he is said to have worked
should not be included' in his claim,
was born near Parnpeluna, in. Spain,
about the year 1506.
His father's namewas called Don
John Glasso,;but he has always been
known by his mother's name and
title, Xavier, the castlewherein be
was born, also bearing that name. At
eighteen he entered the University of
Paris, then the most notable college
on the continent of Europe. After
graduation he became a teacher in, or
in connection with the University. It
was then that he formed an acquain-
tanceship witha fellow crite-yr/Ian,Ignatius Loyola, the' found r of the
Jesuits, which changed
i'the w
whole
.
course of his life.
Francis Xavier was one of.the ,nine
who formed the first organized band

of results, the Order (mare properly
the Order of Jesus) having been
formed at Montmarte near Paris, in
1S34. Its members hoped to begin a
great new Christian mission to the
world by evangelizing Palestine, but
teeny obstacles were in the Wee' of
that ,project. In 1537 Loyola and
Francis Xavier were in Flerenee Its
aly, the latter chaplain to a hospital
for incurables. A little later the little
band of Jesuits were in Roae, and
while there the Rector of the Uni-
versity of Paris, wlo was then in
that city, introduced them to King
John III, of Portugal, who was seek-
ing for missionaries to the Portugese
possessions in India and the East,.
l e,vier was finally chosen for that
work and in 1541 sailed for Goa, pn
the Malabar coast of India, chief city
of the overseas possessions of Portu-
gal then one of the world's greatest
maritime and trading nations, As a
missionary he was for a long time un-
able 'to

the native people, outside of .the dis-

tions, But patience, courage and pi-

Grand Old Man of Finance Passes
The late Mr. Isaac Governour
Ogden, Vice -President of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, who died
l Saturday, February 4, in his 84th
year, was born in New York on
October 10th, 1844. Educated in
local schools, he commenced' busi-
ness hi a New York mercantile
house in .1800, subsequently enter-
ing. the loeai banking firm of Fish
and Hatch, He began his railway
eerv!ee as paymaster and account-
ant of the Chicago and Pacifie Rail-
way in 1871. Ile was auditor of the
same road from 1876 to 1881. When'.
be joined the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way at its inception in 1881, he was
made ..auditor of the Western Di-
vision, with headquarters at Winni-
peg. There he remained until 1883,
when he was promoted to a senior
position as auditor at Montreal., . In
1887, he became Comptroller, in De-
cember 1901, Third Vice -President,
and in June, 1910,.Vice-President.

ed in the; Canadian Pacific Railway
by Mr: Ogdon is as near perfection:l
as any human can make it be. All

guidance, the audit department of
the Canadian Pacific grew from a
strength of just six clerks to that
of more than 900.
Long after he had passed the
seventieth milestone, Mr. Ogden re-
mained at his work, "the youngest
man," as many people said, "in the
entire Company." This youthful
note seems to have impressed all
who knew hire for one finds it con-
stantly repeated in sketches of his
character. Says one of these: "Not.

but, essentially, the viec-president

Again, they emphasize his kind.
