Nor fear to tread below The path your Saviour trod Of daily toil and woe; Wait but a little while In uncomplaining love, His own most gracious smile Shall welcome you above, The renowned poet, Whittier, many of whose poems have made their way into popular hymnals, once said, "A good hymn is the best use to which poetry can be devoted, but "I do not claim that 'I" have succeeded in com- posing one," He might well have gone on to say that not by any means all even of those who have poetic talents can ever become hymnwrifers, but only those who are endowed with religious, that is Godly fervor as well as poetic ability. No one reading that charming tran- scription of the twenty-third Psalm beginning, "The King of Love 'my Shepherd is," can doubt the fine poet- ic ability of its writer, nor fail to realize that heart went with brain in composing it --a heart estatically real- ising the wonder, beauty and comfort of the salvation that •comes to it and to others from ow Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Perhaps no one of our hymns better exhibits the high quali- ties required of him who would as- pire to place praise and prayer into the lips of God's saints, in His sanc- tu ary. The holy roan who gave us, : "The Ring of Love my Shepherd is," died with a fragment of that same hymn upon his lips: "Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, glut yet in love He sought me, And on His shoulder gently laid, And home rejoicing brought. me." Many a weary one, tired in the good fight, would join in a prayer. "Let me die the death; of the right- eous, and let my last end be like his." They stood around the grave of the writer of that transcripture of David's "Shepherd Psalm,"—famous clergy- men, well known hymn -writers, cele- brated musicians and to his old friend Sir John Staines's tune, "The Blessed Home," the great choir and that not- able assemblage sang, though with voices broken by sobs of grief," an- other of his hymns, the one printed herewith, "There is a blessed hone Beyond this land of woe." For Sir Henry Williams :Baker, Bart., editor of "Hymns Ancient and Modern," of which some thirty mil- lion copies have so far been printed, one of the gentlest, most loveable of men, was known throughout the whore Christian world, as a success- ful writer of hymns of the highest standing, a good musician, the com- piler of a wonderful hymnal, and a splendid friend, preacher and poroch- ial clergyman. He was the son of Admiral Sir Henry Lorraine Baker, .Bart., born in London in 1821, educated at Cam- bridge University, ordained in 1884, curate for six years, and in 1851 ap- pointed Vicar of Morikland, Hereford- shire, Eng., which position he occup- ied until his death in 1877. He had succeeded to the baronetcy in 1851. In 1,852 he contributed his first hymn, "Oh, what if 'we are Christs'" to a new hymnal "Murray's," and maintained the fine level of that ad- mirable composition in succeeding hymn, owing to which and to the fame won by his preaching, and his lecturing upon 'lunnology, he was asked to become secretary to an im- portant committee of clergymen, who wished to compile a really represen- tative, and truly Catholic hymnal, for the use of the English branch of the Holy Catholic Church. Owners and authors of several oth- er hymnals offered or consented to withdraw their bgoks in favor of the one proposed, which before long had 'Sir .Henry for its editor' with Dr. W. - H. Monk, composer of the' im- mortal tune to "Abide with Me as its tnusical editor. "Hymns Ancient and Modern" as it was called became a success im- mediately, It contained some of our most valued hymns then new includ- ing the "New. Jerusalem hymns and other translations by l'.'. Mason Neale, Dr, Stone's "The. Church's One Foundation," "Lead Kindly Light" wrth i y?eY s tune, and very many others including several by the editor as well as the old favorites. The MUM e was at least es attractive as tltc hymns, and the Church at large owes much to it in that respect. Sir Henry Williams Baker's Life was largely bound urs with his cele- brated Hyrun Book, but he also con- tributed to other hymnals for special • occasions, But he never made Char- les Wesley's great mistake of at- tempting. to write :hymns . by the thousand, contenting .himself with such hymns as sang themselves in his soul, and expressed such sentiments as his refined taste considered cer- tain of acceptance to his divine Mas - ler when offered to Him in His house of prayer. Our "Blessed Home" ' hymn was, written in 18Q1 to fill a need he ex- perienced in completing the first edi- tion of Hyrnns Ancient and Modern. Sir John Stainer, organist of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, furnished him with its fine tune„which admir- ably suits its words. OLD HOME WEEK -AND AFTER (Toronto Globe.) Old Horne Week celebration in Ontario in the course of the present summer have called back to Ontario cities and towns, and even the small- er rural communities, thousands of their sons and daughters. Reunions of the kind in Peterboro, Campbell ford, Palmerston,' Flesherton, Ganan oque and other centres have well at- tended, registrations of home -comers, in virtually every case having been far in excess of those at similar festi- vals in former years. The motor car and improved highways doubtless ac- count in considerable measure for the larger influx. The programs, too, have been more elaborate .andvaried than usual, offering a wider range of entertainment. But it is evident that quickened in- terest of the migrants in their old home towns cannot be ascribed en- tirely to these factors. Sentimental considerations which are deeper than the mere prospect of a day's fun are manifest in many cases. In some in- stances tangible, expression has been given of the attachment of the ab- sentees to their birthplaces by bene- factions which will enrich community life permanently. ' And it is in the stimulating of interest in the social well-being of the community, after all, that such gatherings. serve their highest purpose.. Attention of the passing generation is called to the needs of the present and the future. It is gratifying to note that in most of the communities in which cele- brations have been held research has been stimulated and that local writers have prepared historical records. Such documents should be welcomed. The surveys they embody of social, and economic evolution since the. pioneer days should be invaluable to. those who seek to envision, the needs of the future and shape the practical measures of today toward their ful- filment. A sociological writer re- marks that "all literature is a series of social documents. It shows the. exceptional individual contending with his.environment; it also shows, more and more as time goes on, in that very environment the expression of a larger life. The individual becomes the type.” The searching out of the true significance of the lives and works of even the undistinguished ."Village Harnpdens" of Ontario un questionably will be encouraged by the holding of periodical community reunions. Placing these records in proper perspective, may we not hope that aur literary workers will widen their horizons—and that eventually an Arnold Bennett, let us say, nray arise and, with masterly sweep and power, give Canada a "Five Towns" of its own? And beyond the compiling of his- torical records, direction might well be given to other undertakings. Cul- tixral centres have been provided in many rural col -amenities by .the es- tablishment of public libraries. The potentialities of the local 'or, district museum, however, have not been Fully recognized, Mr. E. M. Nicholson, a British ornithologist, has pointed otit recently their dynamic possibilities. 'rhe collecting urge, he remarks, "is older than the -scientific, stronger and more primitive." "rhe true function of the museum collection, he believes, is to display before the 'layman in right order the methods and achieve - uients of Nature and civilization, Having completed their immediate tasks with, credit and success, Old Horne Week' organizations might well transform 'themselves into permanent bodies and give leadership irr.tlrewid- ening movements to 'collect and ar- range adequately the relics and his- torical treasures of their respective eotn.multi 'ties.

Breach -banking, which. has more than once been hailed by its Cana- dian proponents as the saviour ax the country's monetary, commercial, industrial and agricultural welfare, is attrapting attention in the United Statoil, where blink failures are not altogether unknown under the unit bank system, says the Financial Poet. In that country, there has been evidenced in the last few years a general trend away from the local control of a .bank In its own com- munity. There are various forms iu which this is taking place, and the out-and-out ownership of one bank by another, is one of the least com- mon. There is no bank in the United States like the . Royal Bank of Can- ada, with its 922 branches, the Bank of Montreal, with 645 'branches, or the Canadian Bank of Commerce, with 803 branches scattered over the nine provinces of Canada, the Yukon Territory, Newfoundland, Great Bri- tain, France, the. United States , and South America. There are, however, . New York banks which have e, few branches, the largest number of branches owned and operated as such by most banks being less than ten. There is one bank which has 291 branches in California. This, however, is an . out- standing utstanding exception. Another way lin which United States banks are enter- ing the branch field Is through stock control of other banks. This method preserves the fiction that the bank is an independent unit in the commun- ity where it is operating, and does notallow prejudice: against "big" banks to interfere with business. Then there is that creation of mod- ern: finance known as the holding company, controlling blocks of the stock of two or more banks are held by those who in turn control the holding company. While not as vis- ible to the public eye, the control Is almost as effective as if the controlled banks were branches of a larger in - Edition. The largest factor in building up the branch banking system in this country has been the system under which the banks are provided with money. In Canada, the banks issue their own notes to the public, which are accepted without question. This is because the notes constitute a first charge against the assets of the bank, taking priority over deposits, and be- cause the banks issuing notes main- tain a fund with the Minister of Fin- ance at Ottawa with which to redeem notes of a failed bank if the assets of that bank are insufficient to meet the amount of its notes outstanding. It may seem somewhat of an anomaly, but banks in Canada can pay off runs on themselves with their own notes. In the United States, almost no bank issues its own notes. The re- strictions surrounding such issue more often than not will outweigh any advantagethat might be obtain- ed from such practices by the banks. A small unit bank is almost wholly dependent for its own good times on the prosperity of the cora- munity which it serves. In a country as large and as geographically diver- sified as the United States; this pros- perity is bound to be spotty. There- fore the prosperity of the unit banks is. spotty. Banks in the larger cities are distributing bumper profits while country bankers are just making a living. In Canada, the branches in the big cities and the prosperous areas are making profits which are sufficient to pay dividends and main- tain the branches in the less fortun- ate districts. There is no one of the ten charter- ed banks in Canada that will claim it has no branches which are operated at a loss. The country, financially, is still in the pioneer stage in many sec- tions. Such banks are doing as much in their way for the building up' of the country as their sister branches in the city, where as much business is done in an hour as is done in a year in some smaller branches. The small branch, however can be operat- ed at a loss because it collects in the form of savings deposits, the money which the larger city branches lend at a profit. There are several reasons why the branch banking system has been of tardy , development in the 'United States, In that country, banking is mainly controlled by the Legislatures of the States themselves, while` in Canada, the Federal Government ex- ercises complete' control. As there are as .many .policies in each State its there are politicians and there are 48 Statesinthe Union, it is easy to see that the problem would take ` some solving.
