This hymn was written about 1834,
by Edward Mote; an English cabinet
maker, of whom little more is re-.
eo.rded than that he was born ilii Lon-
don in x797, "My Sundays," lie .wrote
"were spenton the streets to play.
So ignorant was I that I did not
know there was a God." He was led
to take a deep interest iq spiritual
affairs through the preaching . f the
Rev. J, .Iiyott of Tottenham Court
Road Chapel, began to preach and
study, and after some changes be-
came a regular Baptist Minister. He
died in 1874 at Horsham, Sussex, at
which place he had been ministering
in charge for twenty-siv years. "I
think I am going to heaven," he said.
"Yes, I am nearing port. The truths
I have preached I am now living up-
on, and they will do to die upon. Ah
the precious blood,"
Mr. Mote published several pam-
phlets on devotional and controver-
sial subjects, long since forgotten,
well as his "Hymns of Praise," b
his claim for remembrance by su
ceeding generations is well founde
upon this one fine hymn.
We have a fairly complete account
of the occasion of the writing of the
hymn .from the writer himself which,
since it disposes of a confusion abut
its authorship, is here reproduced in
full. This appeared in a religious
paper published in London, Eng., call-
ed the Gospel Herald over the signi-
ture of the Reverend Edward Mote
as follows
"One morning it came into in
mind as I went to labor; to write
hymn on the `Gracious Experience o
a Cristian.' As I went nip Holbur
I had the chorus,
`On Christ the said Rock I stand
All other ground is singing sand'
"In the day I had four verses com-
plete and wrote them off. On the
Sabbath following I met Brother.
King as I came out of Lisle Street
Meeting .. who informed me that his
wife was very ill and asked me to
call and see her. I had an early tea
and called afterwards. He said it was
his usual custom to sing a hymn, read
a portion, and engage in prayer, be-
fore he went to meeting. He looked
for his hymn -book but could find it
nowhere." I said 'I have some verses
:in my pocket. If he liked we would
sing them.' V'Te did; and his wife
enjoyed them so much, that after ser-
vice he asked me, as a favor to leave
a copy of them for his wife.

People leave a habit of epeaking of
"nice little Qeeta Rica," and, after
two visits to the country at Intervale
of slightly more than a dozen years,
I see no reason for changing the
habit. The Costa Ricans tlie?useive$
hr:
have a bland way of sr;ttint, thorn-
pelves a bit aside from the rest of ;
Central America, At a dance at the
San Jose Colt Club, already referred
to, a young lady, hearing tha. I was„
about to travel northward 'through
the five republics, exclaimed: "How
interesting! But what a pity that you
didn't ' save Costa Rioa until the
last:" writes Arthur Ruhl, in "The
Central Americans."'
Various facts of geography and of
past and 'prevent history give a cer-
tain basis for: this. . . Practically
all the "real" Costa, Rica, the coun-
try and people that most educated.
Costa Ricans think of as home. Ilea'
in the wide, fertile, mountain -rimmed
table -land known as the "Meseta
Central." The banana -lands of the
Blast Coast, with their Jamaica Negro
laborers and United States superin-
tendents, make, almost a separate
English-epeaking' country. The Paci-
fic slope is "native," but has none of
the important towns.
On this central table - land has
grown up a homogeneous little na-
tion (there are only about half a mil-
lion people in all of Costa Rica, which
is about 'twice the size, of /Tolland)
of industrious, prosperous, and liter -
as ate citizens, white or nearly so, with
ut few large landowners and many peas-
e- ant proprietors. There is nothing'
d quite like It anywhere else in Gen-
tral America.
It is often said that the original
Spanish settlers of Costa Rica were
"Gallegos," and a more sober and
law-abiding type than most of those
who drifted into the neighboring
colonies. Instead of a land filled, with
sizable towns and thickly populated.
by. docile and easily enslaved Indians
--as was the ease, for instance, in
Guatemala — they found a compara-
tively uninhabited region where they
had to shift for themselves. They are
thus supposed to have developed
some of the same virtues as our own
pioneers.

the dying woman's case, my atten-
tion to them was the more arrested,
and I had a thousand printed for dis-
tribution. I sent one to the 'Spiritual
Magazine,' without my initials, which
appeared some time after this.
"Brother Rees, of Crown street,
Soho, brought out an edition of hy-
mns (1836) and this hymn was in it.
David Denham 'introduced it (1837)

Your inserting this brief outline niay

The original text is to be found in
'Hymns of Praise, a new selectiott of
Gospel Hymns, combining all the ex-
cellencies of our spiritual p lets, with
many originals," by E. Mote, Lon-
don, 1836. It is in six verses of four
titles each with refrain, the first verse
beginning:—"Nor earth, nor hell . my
soul can move." It is seldom if ever,
found in that form in modern hymn-
als, the second verse, "My hope is
built, etc.," as first followed by two,
three or four of the other verses be-
ing its usual form. It is a popular
and a useful hymn, whether used with
or
without a
two line refrain.

"Ignorance of the law excuses no
one," is an old precept, almost uni-
versally in vogue, but in Brazil to it
must be added another: "Ignorance
of -the contents of the Official Daily
excuses no one."
The Official Daily is much. more
than the equivalent of the United
States Congressional Record. It is di-
vided into sections, the first of which
is devoted to Presidential decrees,
followed by orders and communica-
tions from the . various Ministries;
next come all official.and legal ad-
vertising; then reports on activities
of the President and the names of
persons who called on him; there is
also ' a weather report and.a list of
incoming and outgoing ships.' All this
makes up the first' big division of the
Official Daily.
The second division is the Justice
Daily, and the third the equivalent of
the Congressional Record, with re-
ports of proceedings in Congress and
in committees.
The 'Daily has such a wide scope
that its reading is virtually obligatory
to a person engaged in any sort of
business,
As an example of how this works,
take the case of an American who
applies for a concession of some
sort. Be never receives a written
reply from,, the Government Bureau to
which he sent the petition, but in-
stead it either granted, denied or
deferred, or the petitioner is asked
to present further facts, or consult
one of the Government functionaries:
A notice of this is placed in the Offi-
oral Daily.
Failure to read the notice andeom-
ply with it necessarily brings about
failure in the negotiations, so that
readin of tiie Official Daily becomes
vl-rtuaily, obligatory to a person so
situated.
Banks, law firms and big business
house, therefore, have in their em-
ploy one person whose important
duty is to read the Daily carefully
every day, and note if there is any-
thing in it pertaining to the company
for which he works.

It would be easier, I fancy, writes
"Looker-on" .in the London Daily
Chronicle, to recall instances of

of their being made. eempulsory, as.

to a message from Kandahar.
Beards often have a religious sig-
nificance. The really strict adherent
of the Jewish faith fe always bearded,
visile priests of the Russian Ortho-
dox Church must wear beards and
allow their hair to grow as well.
More strictly speaking, the canon law
says that the hair must never be cut
from the day on which ordination
takes place, and so the Orthodox

tresses by judicious singeing from'
