AUTHORITY ON HYMNS I, EDMUUNi) JONES HAS MADE THI;11I, A LIFELONG STUDY. :Toronto Lawyer Became Interested in Hymnology When as a Boy Ile and Ills Sister Selected Those to 13o Sung in His Father's Church —Ile Is Now Consulted by Cana- dians of All .i.)enominations cut the Subject.. HE trouble with most hobbies," say's James Edmund Tones, who confesses to being one of the most inveterate hobbyists In Toronto, "is that they are incapable of being pursued at all tirnes and in all seasons. Very few can he followed summer and winter. day and night, indoors and outdoors. That is why 1 contend that a man should find something to interest him outside business hours." Acting on this principle, Mr, Jones, who is by profession a lawyer, and a busy and successful one at that, keeps several hobby horses in his in- tellectual stable. His interest in and work for boys, through the medium of the. Aura Lee Club, which owes its enistenco to his genius for organiza- tion and tireless enthusiasm, aro fairly well known. The club and its activities, both summer and winter, are his out-of-doors hobby. His principal indoor hobby is the study of hymnology. This pursuit he has followed with such zeal that he is acknowledged to -day as the greatest authority on hymns, hymn writers, agd hymn tunes in Canada. There are very few people who can be described as having made a hobby of hymns. Thousands can repeat favorite hymns and are fond of sing- ing them or hearing them sung, but to make a study of tbo origins of hymns and hymn. tunes, to trace out the interesting and curious things about them, to learn about their au- thors, to note variations in phrase- ology and the reasons therefor, to know the contents of this, that, and the other hymnal; in short, to be so interested in hymns as to go to all sorts of trouble to familiarize them- selves with the whole subject, that is surely a pursuit indulged in by a very limited number of individuals. The way James Edmund Jones first became interested in hymns was when, as a boy, he used to help a sister to select the ones which were to be sung at. the Sunday services in the Church of the Redeemer, of which his father, the late Rev. Sep- timus Jones, was long the rector. He had a natural fondness for music, especially choral music, and this per- mission to pick out hymns for the congregation to sing gave bins a cer- tain incentive to post himself on the contents of the hymn book. Eventu- ally he became an organist, though his efforts In this direction were never of exactly a professional char- acter. During his course at the Univer- sity of Toronto, "Jimmie" Jones, as he was called by his fellow -students, was the prime mover in the produc- tion of the . first ' Universiey Song Book. He was chairman of the com- mittee that prepared it, did most of the work of compilation himself, con- tributed several of the tunes em- bodied in it, and was one of three trustees (the other two being Major- General Mercer, C.B., and John D. Spence) to whom the property was deeded in trust after the book was published. It was a huge success and reflected great credit on its origin- ator. Incidentally it may not be uninter- esting to note that after furnishing pecuniary support to the University Glee Club for many years, the old sung book is going to finish its career in a very helpful and appropriate way. A fund of about $300 is in the hands of the trustees, derived from royalties accruing from the sale of the book, and this sum is now to be devoted to the publication of a small, pocket-size song book for soldiers. This little volume, like the original University Song Book, will, of course, be very largely, if not entirely, com- piled by Mr. Jones. The existence of the present Church of England hymn book was due very largely to his initiative. Anyone who takes the trouble to read the preface to that excellent work will not fail to note how frequently his name appears in the proceedings of Synod leading up to the publica- tion of the book. He agitated for it long and earnestly, and at last had his desires. gratified. He was ap- pointed chairman of the+Hymu Book Committee, and personally supervis- ed the carrying through of the pro- ject from beginning to end. In his house in Lawrence Park there now hangs framed a beautifully engross- ed testimonial signed by dignitaries of the Chureb expressing high ap- preciation of his servlees in this con- nection. However, James Edmund Jones is no narrow churchman, and, where hymns are concerned, he is an avow- ed latitudinarian. Let any sect or denomination suggest the advisabil- ity of a new nyninal and the is promptly on the spot, ready lo volun- teer suggestions and offer the com- pilers tato benefit of his wide know- ledge of the subject. It is this beau- tiful enthuslaont for the thing that constitutes its pursuit with him a real hobby. Others might feel in- clined to make a business of hymn- book compilation, lie enjoys it thor- oughly. The Methodists have made him an honorary member of their Hymn -Book Committee, and the Presbyterians are glad to have the benefit of h..ts assietanre. What the can't tell them rigout hymns is hard- ly worth knowing. 44 A .Ttecruiting Device.

PLANT A GARDEN A garden 60x100 feet should produce sufficient vegetables for a family of teu persons, and leave some surplus for storage for winter. Cultivated by hand, it will occupy most of the epare time of a city dweller. A man cannot be a motor car or baseball enthusiast and at the same time make a success of a garden of this size. However,. even smaller plots, if intelligently handled, may be made to yield an astonishing quantity of good orisp vegetables, which have not lost their health -preserving value in the store window. Where the space available is small, crops should be selected that take but little space and give quick returns. Potatoes, cabbage, corn, egg- plant, peppers, had better be dispens- ed with, and the space devoted to such things as peas, beans, spinach, lettuce, carrots, beets, tomatoes and onions, Tomatoes should be stake -trained, The cultivation of vegetables i3 easy and agreeable, and in the days when meat, eggs, milk and other `Staple ar- ticles are tending steadily to increase in price, a wider use of vegetable foods will reduce living, expenses and promote growth. Tho best time to do garden work is early in the morning anis in the even. ing; so that it is well to encouragethe healthful habit of early retiring and early rising.
