Some of the earliest of the Greek
Itymns, were for children, one of the
most primative addressing our Bless-
edLord as "Bridle of colts untam-
ed." Another one by Clement, Bish-
•51 op. of Alexandria in Egypt in the lat-

erally translated' runs:
' "Lead, Holy One, lead!
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.

Still there always was a place for
them. 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.

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.
