W. Arnot, in 1872, printed a series .of hymns under, the Beading "Breathings of the Border." in in tr•oducinl themthe editor . wrote as fellows: "These lines express the experienc- e, the hopes and the longings of a young Christian lately released. Wri- tten on the very edge of this life, with the better, land fully in view of faith, they seem to us footsteps print- ed on the sands 'of Time, where these sands touch the ocean of Eternity. These footprints of one whom the Good Shepherd led through the Wild- erness into rest, may, with God's° blessing, contribute to comfort and direct succeeding:. pilgrims." The first of these ' "Breathings" was our hymn "Beneath the Cross of Jesus, which appeared on page 398 of the 1872 volume. The eighth and last of them, "There were ninety and nine that safely. lay," was .printed in the volume for 1874. Some readers of this article upon Hymns, which the same writer has been publishing in The Family'' Her- ald during the past eighteen and a half years, ma}- remember that. the singing evangelist Ira D. Sankey, en- countered the. "Ninety and Nine" hymn in a newspaper, while travell- ing on a railway train, with his col- league, D. ,L. Moody, and cut it out 'for possible use in the future. !

Sankey took his newspaper clipping from his pocket, set it onhis little, platform organ,. and then and there composed and sang the tune which soon became popular, to which indeed it is always, sung. Afterservice a lady stepped up to Mr. Sankey, and _told him how affected - and delighted she was to have heard lura snake such splendid use of her dear sisters little hymn! It was then it becatne known that the writer of the eight hymns 'which had appeared in the Family Treasury, was the late Elizabeth Cecilia Clephahe, the third daughter of Andrew Cleph- ane, Sheriff of Fife, ':Chis talented lady was born at Ed- inburgh in 1830, and died at Bridg= end House, near Melrose, in 1869, af- ter sorne months of sickness. She had been accustomed to write little poems for a child's paper entitled by one of her sisters, and wrote her "Ninety and Nine" hymn on)'the hur- ried spur of the moment, for it. Ac- customed to express herself in verse she often tried to disclose her own personal feelings of devotion to her Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, in hymns, but was diffident aboit al- lowing them to see the light, having a very modest opinion of her liter- ary powers. If it remembered, that "Beneath. the Cross of Jesus," was written with. in the shadows of death by a talented and lovely lady, who knew wen that there was not the slightest hope` 'of recovery from her disease—which ryas the case in those flays ---arid whose study about, and devotion to her Saviour, the model of Christians, had taught her the hopelessness of obtaining eternal life or forgiveness, of, failure, by hutnan merit, the hum- ble personality and splendid faith ex- pressed in the hymn will. become mani.:fest. Probably only ,a sincere Christian, who knew. well the burn- ing fever of wasting disease, the bur- den+ of wearying days and' nights of increasing weakness, with an early grave not far away, could have writ- ten its well-chosen lines. It is not a gloomy melancholy'hy- mn; she would not have- that! There is the deep seated assurance Of per- fect safety, certain satisfaction, from Him who hung upon . the cross for our redemption, and now waits' to bless His 'faithful` servants with out- stretched welcoming arms, on the fur- ther side .of death. Miss Clephahe's sister, in answer to Mr. Sankey's iniluiry about 'her other writings, gave hien this hymn also, and for it he composed the time printed Herewith, which he often sang with fineeffect at Mr. Moody's and his own revival meetings. On a ra- ther higher levelof construction than some of his more popular tunes, 'Be- neath the Cross" has made its way into some of our most notable hymn- books, and it is believed by many, fits Miss Clephane's words better than any of the several tunes which have been contopsed for them, 4,a,.e ,It,IkA. 1 erg, on the 10th eon., was married on Wednesday, March 6th to Miss Annie Purvis, of West Wawanosh. ` We wel- come Mrs. Irwin to our community; The W. :NC S. and League of Hack- ett's church,' met• at the home of Mr. and Mrs; George Lane, for• a social time, on :Friday evening, community singing and games, a very pleasant time was spent, Mr, and Mrs, .
