February lith, 1929. ■ Breathes there a man with. soul so dead; Who never to himself hath said: "This is my own, my native land," As home his footsteps be has turned, • Then why should we our joy conceal? At the news of the Re -Union. With friends beloved of former days, In our dear Home Town of Wingham. They are scattered .abroad in the East and the West, In every clime and Dominion; But I know they'll be glad,of any excuse, That will bring them back to Wingham. They say tunes have changed, since those good old days, And I suppose we have changed too; But tho' we may differ in outer form, Our heart beats as leal and true, • — Our visagemay change, but there'll always be; Some old characteristic in each one we'll see; '# The pleasant smile or the same grumpy frown, Will surely help us to track them down. When I close my eyes, this vision I see Of the old familiar faces, T hope will be II At the Re -Union.

Eliza Scudder, composer of this hymn, was the niece of the Reverend Dr. E. H. Sears, to whom we are in- debted for what some authorities con sider the : grandest of all Christmas', carols, the one beginning, "It came uponon the midnight clear." She col- laborated o -laborated with her uncle in two of his books, wherein two of her hymns made their first appearance, viz., his "Sermons and Songs of the Christian Life," and his "Pictures .of the Olden Tiine, as •shown in the Fortunes of a Family of . Pilgrims." J Her relation- ship to that eminent writer and the. fact that she was one of his co-work- ers, entitles her to respectful consid-' eration. Miss Scudder had also the privilege of collaborating with Samuel 'John- son who gave us the fine hymn, 'City of God, how broad and far" and Sam- uel Longfellow another writer of hymns and brother of the poet Hen- ry Longfellow, furnishing original hymns to their hymnbook, "Hymns of the Spirit," which has been a trea- sury from which subsequent compil- ers of hymnals have derived many valued songs of the sanctuary. She was born in Boston, Mass., in 1821 of Unitarian parents and was trained in that faith. Like others she found Unitarianism not altogether satisfying, and after much study and enquiry and a good deal of agony of soul, she decided to ally herself with the `"Protestant Episcopal" Chur'ch,— thename of which was changed from "Church of England" after the suc- cessful rebellion against British rule, of the colonies which afterwards ,be- came the United States of Arnerica. Miss Scudder was as sincerely de- vout in her poetical writingsas in the conduct of her life, and as thoroughly determined. Her uncle, Dr. Sears, edited and published the Monthly Re- ligious Magazine and to this she con- tributed a number of poems, receiv- ing,' no doubt, much valuable assist- ance from that successful writer, Fin- ally, in 1880, four years after her'un- cls's death, she collected such of her fugitive verses as she thought worthy of ;preservation, and published them in book form, under the tithe "Hymns and Sonnets by E. S." This book is though occasionally now very .Scarte, tl oiig4l occ o y rnet with at library sales or in second hand stores, She was imbued with the spirit of the old hymn -writers of the church to Such an extent that some have claim - cd her hymns; as translated versions of the old office hymns of the med- iaeval or nediaeval'or even more ancient days, and one of them "Thou Grace divine 'en- circling all" has actually appeared in Some of the hymnbooks of her coun- try as "'An Ancient Catholic Efymn" -as for instance in "The Universal- ists' Psalms and Hymn" of 1865. Of course the truth was that Miss Scud- der was entirely innocent of any Lat- in original at all resembling her com- position, Scholarship has decided that therewas notthe slightest rea- son .for that curious supposition,. which was however something like a compliment to her genius. Our hymn first appeared in Long- fellow • and Johnson's Unitarian 'Hymns of the Spirit of 1864 and ex- cepting possibly in its last• line but "Then to. ran 1 1 t.cn the which originallya Mightier yield Thy sway," bore no trace of Unitarian peculiarity, Like those, of her uncle,. Dr.. Sears, her views were probably from the first rather Swedenborgian titan Unitarian, . 'We are told on good authority that Dr, Sears "held always to the abso- lute Divinity of Christ." Eliza Scudder lived a long useful lift, most of, it in the little town of Salem, Massachusetts, where her piety, her ability, and her relationship with the *alae of distinguished poets £�. Y. and authors of New England in 'its golden age of Holmes, 'Emerson, Ho- well, Aldrick, -Hawthorne, Whittier, and the poets already Mentioned, gave her a cormnanding position in 'the community. She died in 1896. This hymn is not always fotntd in •i entirety' in the hymnals, a cent° t.s e Y > tn.ade up of the •verses beginning with Miss Scudder's third, `"Conte, 'though With purifying fire," •being 'found. in several of them, with in sotne cases 6 -quite unnecessary addition of a dox- ology. The. tune Man'cliester ia, set to it in "Sons of Praise" the latest po riietr' hymnal to ,appear in Great Britain, This'is' a fine specimen of the Most susl:id and° useful tunes of the ,;eight - tenth century and was written by il o- bert Wainwright who lived from 1748 �.~�s2 to 1782onfttsed , who n is not to beconfused yvith the Lancashire organist, 1.
