WING I AM ADVANCE -TIMES
Up to the throne of God is borne
The voice of praise at early morn,
And He accepts the punctual hymn,
Sung as the light of day grows dim.
Nor will He turn His ear aside
From holy offerings at noontide;
In songs of gratitude and praise,
Then here to Him our souls we raises
Test are the moments, doubly blest,

Tires Save
You e
'Gum -Dipping is an exclusive
. Firestone process, It insulates
and impregnates every fibre of
every cord with rubber and
prevents the cords from chaf-
ing against each other.
In ordinary tires these cords
are r uninsulated. In flexing
they chafe against each other,
causing internal heat and fric-
tion which softens the rubber,
causing blowouts and tire fail-
ure.
These better tires cost you
no more, yet they give thou-
wnds of extra miles. See your
nearest Firestone Dealer.

This is" a noon -hour hymn,! a hymn
foto workers in the fields, who well
know the need and the comfort of the
mid-day rest and refreshment. It was
written for countrymen by a country-
man, who well knew city and, rural
life, and deliberately cast his vote for
life. among those who derived their
livelihood direct from the hand 'of
God, by way. of soil, sun, winds and
rain,
For William Wordsworth, the most
distinguished philosophical poet, Great
Britain has produced, poet laureate,
author of such standard classical
works as, The Excursion, Intimations
of Morality, Ode to Duty, The White
Doe of Rylstone etc., after joyfully
witnessing the beginning of the Fren-
ch Revolution, and barely escaping
sharing its succeeding horrors, wan-
dered much in Europe' and through
Great Britain, settled down to live and
die amid scenes of rural life at Rydal
Mount near Grassmere in Westmorg-
land„ one of the northern counties of
England;
He had lost his mother when but
eight yearsof age,' he having been
born in 1770. His father was a lawyer
and acted as law -agent for the Earl
on Lonsdale, When William was in.
his thirteenth year his father died
also, leaving his five children depend-
ent upon two uncles, owing to the
fruits of his profession being tied -up
in his patron's estate.
However, those two gentlemen .were
true to the trust confided in them and
the four boys and their sisters had
most of the creature comforts of life
assured to them: But the scholastic
training our poet received did not pre-
pare him to take'a brilliant course at

the Usii4rsity;, of Caru4ridge, Before
a=oing there he had coniposed sonic
creditable poetry, but did nothing very'
".noticeable4 from a literary 'point of
view while taking his college training,
During and after his wandering he
wrote incessantly, For mkny years lie
did not succeed in achieving popular-
ity though
opular-ity'though his poetry was generally
,of a superior order. The reason for
this was that}ie absolutely refused to
write the smoothly flowing stud per-
taining ` to the high social life of his
age, His taste was''not for artificialit-
ies, but for the simple and deeper
things of life, His most successful.
poem in many—years was one about
Peter Bell, who was a waggon tl,river.
He loved to write about the country
folk.. and statural things, streams, hills,
lambs, flowers, . and especially the
little children he found about him,
A. devotedchurchman, he, wrote
much about church history, Christian
morality and philosophy, and the time
came when his brother poets and the
critics who before had ruthlessly con-
demned his work, led the general pub-
lic in praising it almost extravagant-
ly, He received a fairly lucrative
government appointment, • and a few
years' later a. governmental allowance
for life and was entreated to' accept
the appointment of ,poet -laureate of
the Kingdom upon the, death of the
poet, Southey. He died in 585o the
most renowned of British writers of
the day, Iamented by all from queen
to farm labourer as a man of the peo-
ple, whose life was guided by prin-
ciple and won the highest position by
sturdy adherence to and able 'fighting
fon what, he knew to be. right.
Our hymn he wrote late in life, in
5834, and he was inspired to its com-
position by noticing the farm labour-
ers making their way to their homes,
or to some sheltered necks fer their
noon -hour's rest and food, In its
depth of thought, simplicity of ex-
pression, and ready catching of the
religious significance of the mid-day
season, we see Wordsworth *as he
would have us know and remember
him.
In the several series of articles up-
on hymns, their writers and their
tunes which have appeared in this
journal during the past eighteen. years
many morning and evening hymns
have been considered. This is the
first article concerned with the noon-
tide hour, for such hymns are not
common as a glance at our hymnals
will show;
No doubt same who know the value
of the noon hour will appreciate this
hymn and it may be will be led to
give a thought to higher things than
that recess time commonly suggests.•
The four lines beginning "Look up
to heaven! the industrious sun;" make
a good verse to memorize, and to re-
call when summoned to,•lay work a-
side 'for an hour.
The tune suggested for the hymn is
good and workmanlike, just such `a
tune as. Wordsworth himself would
select for it, This was written by. S.
Webbe, senior, an English composer
and organist, who died in 5856 an old
man of seventy-six, who had the
pleasure of seeing a son and name-
sake at least as honored a member of
the musical profession as he had been.
Melcombe is one, of the most useful
and ,best known tunes in our hymnals:
