THE RE -UNION,
By Jane McLean.
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

ar and falsehood fly,
Anoint our eyes with healing grace,
To see as ne'er''before,
Our Father in our' brothers, facer
Oar Master in His poor.
Flt od our dark life with golden day;
Convince, subdue, enthral;
Then to the • Mightiest yield Thy

And love be all in all.
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.
Wainwright ' who gave us the time to
which 1ly"r tl's Chriistmas hymn is al-
ways sting.

TREES ON STREETS
AND IIGHWAYS
At each succeeding convention of
the Ontario Horticultural Association
street and highway trees hi •h �a have been
v
S
given increasing attention. At the
1928 convention a committee was ap-
pointed to draw up recommendations
that Indy be offered by the Associa-
tin as a guide to horticultural so-
cieties and municipalities throughout
the country. This, committee, having
as chairman Mr. H. J. Moore, lector-.
er of the Ontario Horticultural .Assoc-
iation, gave their report at the con-
vention'held in Toronto on the 14th
of February, These recomtmnda
tions cover the subjects of minimum
planting distances, varieties for dif-
ferent parts of the country, and other.
matters related to the subject. Fol-'
lowing: are the recommendations:
(a) T1iat trees on narrow streets
should have a minimum spacing of 40
feet, on boulevards or wide streets,
6 F a on roads 75 .feet,
55 to 0 feet, arid ds
(b) That on narr,`osv Stru As the
less spreading or pyramidal trees as
White Ash Hard Maple, Pin Oak be
p,Tulip
lanted also : Trees and Crient-
al Plane, where these will endure, as
fo oali
in southernC< ties,
(c)' That in northern inun'tipali
i e such, in the latitude and'a -
t CS, a5p
proximate,altitude of New 'Liskeard,
the, soft Maple be used. on streets as it
does not attain huge proportions, but
retrains shortjointed and study$ also
the Laurel 'Leaved 'Willow, which lat-
terrecommended for'our
tCY 15 especially
most northern towns, such as Coch-
rane and points in this latitude.
((I) That the. ,spacing of tree±§ on
