The little ones need The voice of their King. The footprints of Jesus Are shining before us, His children to lead, 'Long the heavenly way their foot- steps to bring," Later, Latin hymns were not often made for children. Those days of persecution, of martyrdom, called for stern, heart -stimulating songs of spir- itual trust and might. A glanee at the hymnals will show how few of the children's hymns we owe to the Latin Christianity of the early cen- turies, and how poor was the med- iaeval church in sacred songs for the little ones. 111 Stair Carpets for the steps and Hall Runners •a $1.00 to $1.50 i • —'RUGS — i ..• From the small size to the largest in Tapestry, i Brussels, Velvet, Axminster and Wilton.

Following Jewish custom, boys of the innocent age were trained to lead the singing at the services; early in, the history of our era. At Christ- mas, Palin Sunday, Easter and Whit- vntide children had their special Parts to Sing, or follow, even in 'the darkest ages of Christianity. Within the last two hundred yeara vast numbers of hymns have been written for, children, many of them by godly women like Mrs. Alexander, author of "There is a green hill," "Once in Royal David's city," etc.; 41 Mary Duncan who gave us the model ,prayer "Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear us"; 'farm Leesen, "Loving Shepheed of Thy sheep"; "Marianne Nunn, "One there is above all others"; Anna Warner, "Jesus loves • me, this I know"; Anne Shepherd, "Around the throne of God in heaven," and Je- mima Luke, author of the hymn print- ed above, think when I„ read that sweet story of old." Male authors of note like Wesley, Cowper, Midlane, Baring -Gould, A. Young, Hutchings, Lowry and count- less others have enriched our Sunday school, and church hymnbooks with dhildren's hytims, though to this writ • •'er it has always appeared to be 'a pity to set the children's part of the singing in different 'books, as though they were not an integral Part of the fold, and had no right to become fam- iliar with all of the church's songs of praise. Mrs,, Jemima Luke, Wife of the • 'Reverend Samuel, Luke, a Congrega- timml miniser in Gloucestershire, Erij, was the daughter of Thomas Thomp- son' of BOundesiord Park;.Coldbrook Terrace, Islington; and Ilath; a weal thy landed gen tlentan, Nveil for his generons philanthropy, • She was born in 1813, and as a little child, wrote tales, and veraes, some of -which appeared in the, juven. ile magaaines, before's-he had. reached her thirteenth year. Later on she published a set of Missionary'stories and other little books 'for., childree, and from 1841 to 1845 edited the once well. known "Missionary Expository," She also :wrote a novel "The Female, Jesuit," and a biography, "The Ment - ole of PM* Atm Harris of Clifton,'Yas well as several 'other books. She was twenty-eight years ohl When riding ht a stage coach, her iniad turned towards, a village Sehool near her father's estate at Poundcs- ford Park, in which site was greatle interested, Her thoughts led her to think. 'of the thne, when mothers uf Saleiu their children brought to Jesus, and formed themselves, as it were autornaticaRY, into the beauti- ful words of this sweet little hymn, which she wrote down then and there. The lines suit admirably the music of a Greek song, which has been har- monized into the tune Athens, or as it is sornetimes called Salamis, but the present writer is by no means certain that Jemima Thompson, as she the was, had that melody in mind when she wrote her lines. Some clain-i that she heard the school chil- dren sing the tune to a school song, shortly before her trip in the stage- coach. But that was the story of the composition of "There is a happy land" by .A. Young, after hearing an Indian melody sung in a school, and it is likely there has been some con- fusion in the account at times given of Miss Thompson's hynin.

In regard to the deferred matter of ; a camp site near Goderich, Inspector Marshall, Niagara Falls, moved thel purchase of the site for $2,500 as soon. as $1,250 was available.
