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 • evelvitmJ4l•.V eerksetle o nee.e..ces • e.te\•makekl• amtsis.v se.immA•/eV.• mi..nt •• ,..s.vsuLrp q, • • THE HYDRO SHOP FRIGIL?AIRE Drop in at the Hydro Shop and see a demon- stration of emonstration.of Electric Refrigerators.

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: TIM'S WEEKLY BUDGET To the Editur av all than Wingham paypers:-.., Deer Stir; A lot av fellahs do be grumblin be rayson av Parleyinint shpindin foive months av the year, an a lot av the payple's money, widout haven army- ting to show fer' it, .
