I feel the toilsome journey's length;
Thine aid omnipotent I seek:
Thou art my Strength,
I am bewildered on my way,
Dark and tempestuous is the night;
Oh, send Thott. forth some cheering
ray!
Thou art my Light.

In that tremendous, latest strife,

E'en to the end, whate'er befall;
Through life, in death, eternally,
Thou art my All.
The Revocation of the Edict of
Nantes in 1598 which opened the
door to religious persecutions in
France drove many Hugenot and
other protesting persons out of the.
country. One, Pierre Malan, after see-
ing his sister done to death fled from
Merinlol, in Dauphine, and made his
way to Switzerland where was relig-
ious' freedom, settling; finally in. Gen;
"ova, There in 1787 Henri Abraham
Caesar Malan, a celebrated church re-
former was born.
He was educated at Marseilles and
Geneva for the Ministry, ordained
in 1810, and was soon afterwards ap"=
pointed one of the masters of the col-
lege at Geneva. The church there was
at that time Unitarian, and had lost
belief in the divinity of our Lord and
Master Jesus Christ. Malan by indi-
vidual study persuaded himself to the
task of bringing the country back to
the true faith. His progress was slow,
however, until Robert Haldane arriv-
ed front Great Britain, and with learn-
ing, ability and adroitness supported,
or rather led .the way to greater suc-
cess. Robert Haldane was a Calvinist
and Geneva was the native home of
Calvinism.. •
Caesar Malan, however, fell under
the displeasure of the managers of
the Geneva church by his downright
preaching of the gospel of salvation
by personal apprehension of the spir-
itual presence of Jesus Christ, and
through faith in His atoning grace.
He was dismissed from the college,
deprived of bis standing as a minister
and driven to get pernlissie.n of the
sectilar State authorities to build a
chapel in his garden.
There his flaming zeal for the sal-
vation of souls built up a great con-
gregation of people from many lands,
including Great Britain. He introduc-
ed the singing oT modern hymns into
the French reformed church, writing
many of them himself. He wrote
numberless tracts and pamphlets.
Everyone he met he evangelised, and
sought to bring to the source of sal-
vation then and there, And the erron-
eous doctrine of the local • church
vanished before his vigor and power.
Not content with so much vig-
orous work, he travelled to other
countries preaching and converting
incessantly. In England he had a
tremendous influence upon many and
even a great reputation as an earnest
evangelist,
Especially did he interest himself
in Charlotte Elliott a brilliant young
lady of feeble health, then living at
Brighton, where her brother was rec-
tor of one of the principal churches.
No doubt he was the inspirer of some
of the earliest of the well known
hymns Miss Elliott gave to the
church. "Cut the cable Charlotte, and
come to your Lord, just as you are,
he said when she was telling him her
doubts and fears and spiritual, ignor-
ance. She went slowly to her room,
and then and there on bended knee
wrote her matchless hymn: "Just as I;
am without one plea,"
"My God and Father while I stray",
was another of her hymns written tin-
der a somewhat similar strong influ-
ence, as
nfluence,as was probably "Christian seek
not yet repose," and other well known
songs of praise or supplication.
She published many of her hymns
anonymously, on loose leaves for dis-
tribution
is-
tri ttron upon the beach at Brighton
and elsewhere and it was some years
before her authorship of the fatuous
"Just as I am,” was disclosed to the
world by a chance remark of her old
friend Dr. Caesar Malan. Afterwards
she put them forth in book forum,
some six volumes in all.
The last of her books was,
"Thoughts in verse on Sacred Sub-
jects," published in 1869, two years
before her death. Highly educated,
fond of poetry and of music, essen-
tially religious, saddened by weakness
and pain, she was often depressed in
spirit by a sombre strain in the train-
ing she had received from Dr. Caesar.
Malan. This ismore evident in her
writings than in those of her sister
poetess and younger contemporary,
Frances Ridley Havergal, also a writ-
er of valued hymns, whose training
had been in a different school of
churchmanship, which led her to ap-
proach the subject of salvation from
a more• cheerful and confident angle.
Our hymn printed herewith illustrates
this sombre strain in Charlotte. El-.
