"HAIL TO THE LORD'S
ANOINTED"
In the Eighteenth Century a little
Moravian settlement was begun in the
county of Antrim in Ireland, One
of the first to join was John Mont-
gomery, a laborer, whose gifts and
graces were such that he was ordain-
ed a Moravian preacher and sent over
to work on the Scottish coast. Here,
in a tiny cottage adjoining the Mora-
vian meeting -house, James Montgom-
ery was born on, November 4th,, 1771.
In '1783 the boy's parents went as
missionaries to the West Indies , and
young James was sent to the "Moray-
ran school at Fulneck near Leeds.
While he was 4i'at this school his
parents both di.e'd.and young James
seems to have been very unhappy
The discipline of the school was se-
vere and the life as secluded as that
of a convent. Except his studies the
boy had practically no literature but
one day he was permitted to read Dr.
Blair's poem "The Grave." This po-
em, and the quaint Moravian ,hymns
started the poetic impulse in him and
accounted for hislife-long interest in
hymns.
After leaving school James was ap-
prenticed to a grocer, but he was lit-
tle interested in the business and ran
away.' As Dr. E. F. _ Benson says,
"He faced the world with three shill-
ings and six pence and a bundle .of
hymns in his pocket. After many
humiliating experiences he secured a
position as clerk on, the "Sheffeld
Register" and rejoiced that some op-
portunity was afforded him of exer-
cising his literary talent. Owing to
political troubles the proprietor of the
paper had to flee from persecution to
the United States and James Mont-
gomery, with the help of a fellow
townsman, found it possible to carry
oo. the paper. Like his predessor, he.
got into trouble .because of his views,
and he spent nine months in prison,
but this time he occupied in compos-
ing hymns and resumed : the editor-
ship of the paper in."1825.
Montgomery was a poet much more
than an editor, and as he became"old-
er he followed, more fully, his bent.
He spent his later years content to
know that through his hymns he was
rendering service to • mankind. He
and William Cowper stand at the he-
ad of the list of laymen who have
written hymns, andthe hymns s of 'no
other laymen are found in such num-
bers in our hymnals.
"Hail to the Lord's Anointed" was
written to be sung at a Moravian
Christmas Festival hi 1821. In April
of that year he rectted 'it at a great.
Methodist Missionary meeiirg in Li-
verpool where the Dr. Adam Clarke
was present. Dr, Clarke was so im-
pressed that he referred to the hymn

in his :commentary and soon" it be.,
came widely known.
In all, Montgomery.. wrote four
hundred hymns, and one hundred • are
still in use. All are marked by mean-
ty, simplicity, and deep spiritual
feeling, Among the best known are:
"Sow in the Morn thy Seed"; 'aJer-
usalem, my nappy Horne"; "Forever
with the Lord"; "To Thy Templt I
Repair" and ":Prayer is the Sottl's Sin-
cere Desire." This last • hymn. and.
"Hail to the Lord's Anointed" • prob-
ably take premier place among his
hymns.

it in the backyard. He then went to
a rear door and upon turning saw the.
"`evidence" disappearing around a barn
corner. Boecker '. made a leap. It
was dark but the "thief" turnedand.
a blow was struck. Another blow
followed. "Sol" said Officer O'Brien.
