Round thee in love we draw; Thine is 'the grace of freedom, The majesty of law. Be righteouness thy sceptre, Justice thy diadem; And on thy shining forehead Be peace the crowning gem. This is really more of a sacred song for home or private use, than a hymn for use at divine service, since it is not addressed to God, and expresses neither prayer nor praise, but only the aspirations of a loyal, patriotic mind. Still such compositions have their uses, and by giving expression to laud- able feelings may tend to the promo- tion of personal holiness. For Sunday evenings at home, for lectures in church or other halls, or even for week day services or Sunday schools, these verses may prove useful. But we must let it be understood that al- though it is found in hymnbooks, only by courtesy can this little poem be called a hymn. It will be remembered that Ira D. Sankey made a like dis- tinction, when he pained his popular collection, "Sacred Songs and Solos," "0' beautiful, my country" was writ- ten by the Reverend F. L. Hosmer, who was born at Framingham, Mas- sachusetts, in 1840. He came of sound. old British stock, his ancestor James Hosmer being by birth and descent a "Man of Kent,"\Eng., one of the first, incomers, if not ,the very first to set- tle at what was afterwards' Concord, in New England, That was in 1635. Some of his descendants appeared to have refused to join. in the rebel- lion against British government, and, after some suffering made their way. into Canada, as did other loyalists. who escaped from the persecutions of the revolutionists, ' ' F. L. Hosmer went in due time to Harvard Universityand graduated in l 1862. Having joined the Unitarians he became a minister and filled sev- eral appointments as pastor, His mind inclined towards literature, as. was not to be wondered at consider- ing his conternparics, Longfellow, S. Johnson, .Lowell, Halms, Hawthorne, tug his contemporaries, Longfellow, S. a ■ a a if ■ ■ ■ ' a a a a Johnston, Lowell, Holmes, Hawethor- ne, Emerson and others for that was the golden age of New England litera- ture. It appeared that every aducated man had a message to deliver, and the earnestness inspired by religious dis- tinguished much that was written. Sonic of our choicest hymns we owe to that period of dawning literary ac- tivity; ended all too suddenly by the wretched fractricidal Civil War, brought on by the desire of some of the United States to assert their rights of "self-determination," as to the country to which they should be affiliated. Mr. Hosmer published his produc- tions in several volumes, including "The Way of God," "The Thought of God in Hymns and Poems," and "Un- ity Hymns and Carols." Some of his hymns were included in. Unitarian hymnals, but his writings have not yet received the consideration they deser- ve at,the hands of hymnbook compil- ers. . Our hymn, or sacred song, was writ- ten after, the turmoil of the Civil War had subsided, and after the western states, which once using gold as a Magnet, had attracted multitudes of men to pick it out of soil and streams had begun instead to pour out streams of golden grain, as its benison of the world. Its writer saw. the danger of quarter r of prosperity, such as the lasti e the nineteenth century brought to his country, fearing that the more valu- able spiritual things, such as libetry, charity, justice and national righteous- ness might be overlooked, in the con- tagious thirst for the riches prosper- ity brought. The hymn is an appeal to the people to turn most especially to the things which really matter, without which lasting national pro gress has been proven all through the ages of history to the impossible. lie had gone honorably and use- fully through the war time, He had clone his part afterwards to direct his people unto the way 'of peace.. Now in this poem he most of ail desires that they shall always deserve and obtain peace by'following after right- eousness, and living justly with all men. No, one can honestly say that, con- sidered in that light, this hymn is not suitable' to our needs at the present Mr. Homer was still unmarried when he left the active ministry and went to end his days, quietly and hap- pily at Port Berkeley in California, U, S.A« The tune Wordsworth, 'here sttggeS- ted for Mr. Homer's patriotic song was 'written for Bishop: Christopher. Wordsworth's great Sunday hymn be- ginning "0 day of rest and .gladness," by Dr, W. H. Monk, the greatly, tal- ented English'musician, who was the musical editor of "Hymns.Ancientand Modern", certainly the most success- ful' hymnal our, language has: yet known. 'Dr; Monk is, however, best remembered as the composer of the tune. "Eventide" far "Abide •with me, fast falls the eventidel" Which was written on the spur of the moment, just as his hymnbook' was about to be sent to press! MASTERPIECES' IN ART REPRODUCED ON HEROIC SCALE Vividly Brought to Life in "Ben-Hur" M-G-1VI Superspectacle The first opportunity to view in motion and color the magnificent Lew Wallace classic of "Ben-Hur" comes to the Lyceum Theatre, Wingham, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, where Metro Goldwyn -: Mayer's $4,000,000 picturization in arrangement with A. L. Erlanger, C. 13. Dillingham and F. Ziegfield, Jr., will be presented. The novel, sub -titled 'A Tale of the Christ' was the world's most popular book; the stage spectacle toured America for twenty-two years. Now, in the greater art of the motion picture, are offered the famous Sea Fight and Chariot Race as thrilling out-of-doors events; the lovely romance of Judah, Prince of Hur, and Esther; and repli- cas of Old World masterpieces, often in color. We see the beautiful Pro- cession of Palms; da. Vinci's "The Last Supper," a marvelous color re- plica; "The Pool of Siloam," and the Vale of Hinnom, the Via Dolorosa, the ._miracle of Christ's healing, the mob and Pontius Pilate; the terrific cataclysm of Nature that toppled tow- ers and palace at the death of the Sav- iour. The final scene with Roman soldiers casting lots for the garments and the women kneeling at the foot of the Crosses is said to be the most reverent and beautiful ever staged. "Ben-Hur" is presented with a magnificent cast that includes such stars of the picture firmament as Ra- mon Novarro, Betty Bronson, May McAvoy, Francis X. Bushman, Car- mel Myers and ,150,000 others in sup- port. Novarro's performance as Ben- Hur is a suprisingly vigorous and dra- matic portrayal, even to his most ar- dent admirers. Bushman is an ex- cellent Messala, and May McAvoy as Esther is wholly delightful. Of equal excellence is the entire cast. A FARMER'S OPINION Many and varied have been the plans set forth by people for the keep- ing of the young people on the farms. At a recent gathering in Stratford, when the matter was discussed, Mr. George Laithwaite of Goderich town- ship said: "The one big trouble with the farmer to -day is that he wont' put his money back into the farm. There are too many investing in mining stocks instead of improving their sur- roundings.", Hard work; keeping mo- ney for the development of the farm and beautifying the home, were urged as solutions to the farm problem. Mr. Laithwaite has always taken a keen interest in making his own farm at- tractive and has not stinted the spen- ding of time, trouble and money in ac- complishing this end and what he says may have more than a kernel of truth in it. Men and women wilt work at disagreeable tastes and 'under disagree- able circumstances in order to make money but they like to escape from these conditions for a part of the time. 'With the farmer his home and farm arelisenvironment uring both work time and play Extra care needs to be taken that there is cunt - fort and a degree of beauty so that boredom, weariness and a longing to escape from this environment may not be the constant mental attitude of the farmer and his wife and children. Hon. R, B. Bennett at Ontario Con- servative Convention: Sometimes we are prone not to get the perspective we should with respect to our count- ry as a whole. Men have come into Western Canada, settled there and be- come great Canadians, become legis- lators and members of parliament and played a large part in settlement and development of the :fertile plains of i 'that t the west. We must not .Fo gett Great Britain itself represents many races and is a fusion of the blood -of many peoples, So in Western Cana- da and other parts of Canada we have men and women who have come from every section of the globe, They have assimilated S.similated our institutions and become great Canadians, and the pot' - pose of this party is to create great Cairadians. RUSSIANS IN Ct1lNi "'MOW Emigres In Shanghai eon- . Developing .Intieeetrial s Walesellegainisrg Respect, :Qne of the most remarkable ;manges in' Shanghai's international community during the last two years, 'writes a, correspondent of the Chris- tian Science Monitor, has been the rise from pauperisne to comparative affluence of the white Russians, who now number. about 14,000 persons. Two years ago the former subjects of the czarprovided the chief prob- lem for charitable organizations in. Shanghai. Thousands 'had drifted there after the revolution in Russia, most of them without money and lacking training 'to earn their living. To'- day they are one of the most homogenous 'and best organized groups in the city, able to look out for their own indigent members, and with a growing class -consciousness which asserted itself in the recent at- tack on the Soviet consulate. This act of violence, however, was not characteristic of the community; which is regarded as law abiding and self respecting. The white Russians have cluster- ed thickly in the French concession, where they enjoy all the privileges et extra -territoriality, although they are "men without a country," and theoreticaally have no consular r - presentative and no special One broad thoroughfare, Avenue s s- fre, has become a "little Rn -:a,' and is taking on the atmosphc rs of a Russian city, with Russian shops and homes. Some of the Ru sL..i have become moderately wealthy, al- though most of them still live pack together in tenements, on a standard slightly above that of the Chinese. The community now .has it.: own schools, which are poorly equippd but nevertheless afford a fairly effc c tive education in the elementra•y grades, and are attempting to train their youngsters in trades. They al- so take full advantage of the schools provided by the municipal author- ities, and the percentage of illiteracy is already lower than that which pro - veiled under the czars. Most or the community came from the lower classes, and are content with mea- gre salaries. The group includes a large number of former "aristo- crats," however, who were officers in the army, or persons of noble birth. These have provided the organizing power of the community, and are doubtless ,chiefly responsible for the remarkable improvement in the en. - tier group. Two years ago the adjective "Rus- sian" was used rather contemptuous- ly in Shanghai. But the adjective is coming again into repute. The better class of Russian girls have married well, either in their own community or into other groups, and are receiv- ed in social circles where they were previously not welcome. The men, too, are finding their own level. It is to the credit of the white Russians that they have devoted themselves whole-heartedly to build- ing up a community of their own. distinctively Russian in character, and that they are eager to retain as much of their own culture as pos- sible. They are the chief patrons of the Shanghai municipal orchestra, whose members are largely Russian. They have organized a light opera company of their own, which gives a , season of creditable performances. It is their hope to have a grand opera season as an annual feature, and there are enough artists in the: colony now to make this possible. The American and British and French residents in Shanghai have watched the rise of the white Rus- sians with approval, and have doge much to encourage and help them., The whole community is now almost en a self-supporting basis, probably as well off as any similar group in the world. 1 TO STOP HUGE WASTAGE. Possible Annual Saving of 16143,-, 000,000 In Wood -Working Trade. Possible annual savings of $143,-] 000,000 through the reduction of waste in the wood -working Indus-! tries, with consequent reductions in the price of wood products were out- lined at the American Society of Me- chanical Engineers' convention in Boston. In a divisional meeting, presided; over by A. D. Little, president of the British Society of Chemical Industry, , it was conservatively estimated that. a yearly saving of $76,000,000 might I be effected through the mechanical and more efficient handling of wood products. The report of a special research committee on saws and knives, pre- sented before the meeting, stated that through standardization of the error - mous diversity of saws used commer- cially in the United States, and through the use of the proper saw for a specific job, rather than using a single saw for cutting out every- thing "from a box to a piano," a saving of $61,00'0,000- each year ssigh,t be, expected..
