Oh, help us, Lord; each hour of need
Thy heavenly succor give:
Help it in thought, in word, and deed,
Each hour on earth we live!
Oh, help us when our spirits cry
With contrite anguish sore;
And when our hearts are cold and
}dry,
• fill. help us, Lord, the more!
h, help us through the prayer of
faith
More firmly to believe!
For ,still the more the servant hath,
The more shall he receive.
If stangers to Thy fold we call,
Imploring at Thy feet •
The crumbs that from Thy table fall,
'Tis all we dare •entreat.
But be it, Lord of mercy all, • •
So thou wilt grant but this:
The crumbs that from Thy table fall
Are light, and life, and bliss. •
Oh, help us, Saviour, from on high:
We have no help brit Thee.
Oh; help as'so to live and die
A Thine in heaven to be!

It will be noticed that the fourth
and fifth verses of the hymn printed
herewith which following the general
rule in these articles quotes the orig-
inal form, is alq.ost always omitted
in our hymns books.' Thereby we
loose the chic to its composition. For
it was specially written for the Sec-
ond Sunday in Lent, and was deliber-
ately founded on the Gospel for that
day in the Book of Common Prayer.
That contains the account of the poems "The Fall Of jerusalem,","Bel-
shazzar," "The Martyrs of Anti-
och," "AnneBoleyn," were well re-
ceived by the public. In 1817, that
is in his twenty-sixth year he was
appointed to St. Mary's, Reading, and
four years later became groiessor of
poetry at Oxford—the,predecessor of
John Keble who gave us "Sun of my.
'soul," and a very great number of
first class hymns. He became Canon
of Westminster in 1835, and in 1849
Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral,. London,
Dean Milman is well known as, a
great theological writer and histor-

"History' of Christianity to the aboli-

I was therefore outside of the coven-
ant of grace, "It is not meet to take
the children's bread and cast it to

ing a proverbial saying, as she per-
sisted in begging Him to help 'her
To that she made the ready response
using a dirnutive,endearing term or
the word dogs:—"Truth, Lord; yet
favorite (pet) dogs eat of the crumbs
which fall from their master's table.'
In reply to her persistency and be-
lief in His power and love Testis
granted her request.
The reference to the crumbs falling
from the table in these two verses
links the hymn on to the Gospel for
that day, as was intended. • Reginald
Heber then vicar of Hodnet after-
wards Bishop of Calcutta,' famous as
the writer of "From Greenland's Icy
:Mountains," "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord
God Almighty," "What Star is This?'
lend many- another fine hymn, had
asked'his friend Dean Milman to help
!him to get up a hymn book which
should receive official recognition
from the Bishops, as none of the hy-
mnals .in use had been recognized.
This was to be a true companion to
itbe Prayer Book, and its hymns were
to agree with or to be founded tipon
the Epistles or Gospels for the days.
Dean Milman fell in with the plan
and wrote some thirteen hymns for
the proposed book, before the Bish-
ops refused to countenance it, Per-
haps on the ground that by setting
sip a hard and fast standard hymn
book, they -would interfere with the
activities of the Church and its hy-
mn writer's, as well as with the in-
dependence of the clergy.
Whatever the reason Heber had to
abandon his proposed new hymn
book , for which he had already coll-
ected a good number of hymns.
These were published in 1827, after
his death, Dean Milman's :among
them..
Ten years later Milman published
a volume of his sacred verse under
the titld "A Selection of Psalms and
Hymns'," in which appeared his
"Whet our heads are Swed with
woe," "Ride on, ride ,on ,in majesty,"
"Bound -Lipari the accursed tree," and
several other hymns, including "Oh,
help us, Lord; each hour of heed,"
with the fourth and fifth verses om-
itted. The hymn is complete without
these, and now that Heber's idea of
fitting hymns to their awn Sundays
had been abandoned, there did not
appear to be reason for retaining the
two weakest verses.
No one can deny that as commonly
found in the hymeals our hymn is a
good and useful one, And since its re-
vision was made by its author, little
} if any fatilt can be found with its
present form. As a trifle of historical
. hymnology it is however worth while
to understand how the elided verses
came to be written, and why they
were afterwards omitted,

Running down a timber wolf with

recently when a C.P.R. light engine
bagged a 90 pound specinaen.
Engineer M. Lafontasie on rounding

short distance ahead, and opening
the throttle, succeeded in striking
the beast with the pilot steps.
Conductor W. G. Watling ran back
and finished, off the animal with a

record for wiater cruises. With one
cruise around the world, another to
South America and Africa, a cruise
to the Mediterranean and three to
the West Indies this season, the red
and white chequered house flag of
the Canadian Pacific is seen in
nearly every important port in the
world. Next season another cruise
is to be added, making two to the

tions will be made to the itinerary
of the "Empress of .Australia" on
her seventh craise around the world,
starting December 2nd.

Wales in Canadian affairs was de-

hi speech at Mansion Honse, ni

in examining the exhibits of the
Canadian Paeific Railway, He took
great interest in the moving train
models and commented upon the
artistic nature of the round the

Majesty the Qupen, and Prince
George passed along the same gang-
