Western Ontario Man Gives Convinc-

Few. Years
Mr, George M• 141111er of Sarnia, on
his return from, a trip to Florida,
writes his home paper as follows;—
Editor Advertiser -Topic,
Petrolia, Ontario,
Having 'in the city of Sarnia, Pe -
trona and surrounding country, many
friends, who would, I -believe, be in-
terested in an account ; of my trip to
and impressions of ,Florida, I have
decided, with your kind permission, to'
write them through the columns of
your paper, rather than attempt to
write a personal letter, to each, much.
as 1 would like to do so.
Leaving the .Michigan Cent de-
pot, Detroit, in a driving snow
on the Royal Palin, an all Pulls

impression was that the rush to Flor-
ida had been everestirnated, • in .that.
there were only four, all,told, in the
Pullman,until half the journey had
been completed, when we took on two
more and this little company journey-
ed to Jacksonville, where . we were
again,reduced to four, and these con-
tinued to Daytona, where two got off.
leaving the other two to go on to
New Smyrna, where they have' been
spending the winters for some years
past.
-A Rough Ride not yet:
My second impression came the ,,Great busses, holding about twenty

helpful indeed; and the innumerable ty, this district in the gena of all Flor-

Bull Frogs Would Flourish The entire country ; from Jackson-
ville to Dayton, as seers from a car

Having spent six weeks in Daytona
five years ago, 1 anticipated no dif-
ficulty in finding my way about, but
so many changes have been taking
place that old familiar land -marks are
more or less obliterated, while thew
developments are going forward with
feverish intensity.

Living Not Too Dear
With regard to reports at home, of
the high cost of living, and lack of
food here; I may say that there is an
abundance of everything necessary,
and the prices are not too dear. Tak-
ing into consideration that one needs
no fuel except for cooking purposes,
and only sufficient clothes to cover
one's nakedness, the Iiving is quite re-
asonable, arid when one throws in the
scale of comparison, the fact of sum-
mer winds and' sunshine, against the
chilling cold of the north, it is all in
favor of spedning the winter in Flori-
da.
Yours very truly,
Geo. M. Miller.

"OUR BLEST REDEEMER ERE

It is interesting to observe how,
many hymn -writers owe their fame to
one outstanding effort. In scores of
hymn has made au-
thorone great
thor immortal whose work otherwise
would have been almost unnoticed.
This was the case with Harriet .Aub-
er, the author of this hymn, the most
tender and touching of all that we
possess upon the work of the Holy
Spirit.
Miss Auber was .born in. London, Take Notice that all pool, cigarette
England, on October 4th., 1773. She dray and dog licenses are past due'_

13y Order,
Mayor Fells_
ached such a height as this, Miss" 1lu-•
ber wrote several hymns which are
still in use. Among others are;
"Sweet is the Work, 0 Lord" "With
Joy We Hail the Sacred Day"; "Wide-
Ye Heavenly Gates Unfold" and the: •
missionary ym
hymn based on the Seven--
ty-second Psalm, "Hasten Lord! the.
Glorious Time."
NOTICE
was a devoted member of the Angli-
canChurch and a woman of singular-
ly beautiful character.' During the
greater part of her long life—she liv-
ed to be eighty-nine=she lived at
Hoddesdon in Hertfordshire, and
wrote a great deal of devotional po-
etry, all of it marked by sincere and
reverent feeling. In 5829 she publish-
ed a volume of devotional writings,,en
titled, "The Spirit of the Psalms,"
which at once became very popular
and was translated into many lang-
uages. This volume contained sever-
al useful versions of the Psalms adap-
ted for modern use. Among Many
excellent hymns was the one "Our '
Blest Redeemer ere He Breathed."
For some considerable time it remain-
ed, like an undiscovered gem, but
when once it was put into the hymn-
books its fine qualities were soon dis-
covered, and it is now used, not only
in all English speaking countries, but
in nearly every land where the Chris-
tian religion is found.
A singular and interesting 'tiring
about this hymnis that it was first
written by Miss Auber upon a pane
of glass in her room by a diamond, It
is said to have been written 'by her
one Whit Sunday while she was
thinking over an. impressive sermon
she had heard that morning. With
neither paper nor pen at hand, she
wrote the verses on the window -pane
near.
Canon Duncan quotes a resident of
Hoddesdon who Wrote: "I remember
the house well in which Miss Aubur
used to live, arid•where she died. A
lady resident here, whose relations li-.
vcci in "Miss" Auber's House tells ane
that she often saw the hymn on the
pauio of glass in the bedroom' window.
tater the pane was removed by some-
one and has never been recovered, no
trate -'of it has ever been fottnd,"
Like a great many other noble
hymns this one is definitely: linked up
to a festival of the Church -Whitson-
tide. It commemorates the descent
of the Holy Spirit and the blessings
He brings. 'One verse which Miss
Auber wrote is generally omitted
from most Hymnals.
