C. Caswell, •i onymous, until it was discovered to bo the work of Sybil F. Patridge, who afterward moved from Canada to enter a convent in Liverpool. Among other well-known. hymns and their authors, he mentioned "Oh, What A Friend I Have in Jesus," a missionary hymn thathas been trans- lated into many languages, written by Joseph Scriven, born in Ireland, but who .spent much of his time in Ontario; Rev. Morley •Punshon, first minister of Metropolitan Church, To- ronto, whose "Listen, the Master Be- seecheth Thee," is well known; Rev. E. Hartley Dewart, another Toronto- nian, and author of "Out on Life's Heaving Ocean"; and Rev. Archdea- con Frederick Scott, rector of St. Matthews Church, Quebec, a poet of some note and the author of some beautiful hymns. , a&tr. Caswell also injected much human interest into his stories of the reason for sudh'hymns as Elizabeth C. Clipsham's "There Were Ninety and Nine Who Safely Lay," written in memory of a wayward brother; Rev. Dean Bullock's "We Love This Place 0 Lord," used for the first time in the dedication of the Toronto An- glican clergyman's new church; and Rev. Robert 14lurray's "From Ocean to Ocean." ' Joseph :Scriven lived for some time in Huron County and was known to many here. All that has happened at Geneva so far is in line with what you of- ten see at horse-races—a lot of time wasted while the contestants are jockeying for a position. • Through some misunderstanding among the opposition wings at Ot- tawa the debate on the address last- ed only a few days instead of a few weeks.

This explains a great deal. It was probably for their pro- tection that Gandhi, his wife and son, Secretary of the Toronto Public Lib. rary Board, at the meeting of the Canadian Women's Historical Society held in Toronto last week. "Not many of our dative -born Canadian poets of distinction have. taken to, hymn writing," remarked Mr. Caswell, who is the proud pos- sessor ;of a large collection of Cana- dian verse. A peruses' of the stand- ard hymnals of the Anglican, Press byterian, Baptist and United 'Chur- ches revealed only about twenty-five hymn writers who had lived part or all of their life in Canada. And some of the best known and most loved hymns had been written by Hien and women prominent in walks of life not strictly literary—like the Marquis of.
