God of gods, "Peace! It is I." Ridge of the mountain -waves, Lower tliy crest! Wail of the 'tempest -wind; Be thou at rest! • Sorrow can never be, Darkness must fly,. Where saith the Light of Light "Peace! It is I." Jesus, Deliverer, Come Thou to me; Soothe Thou my voyaging Over life's sea; Thou, when the storm of death Roars,. sweeping by, .Whisper, 0 Truth of Truth, "Peace! It is I." Amen. This stirring little hymn is about a thousand or eleven 'hundred years old and was written for the Eastern Ca- tholic, or as its adherents term it, the Orthodox. Catholic church. It was written in Greek, the ancient lan- guage, it will be remembered, in which the New Testament, and the works of the 'earliest Christian Fath- ers were written. We . owe it now to the Rev. Dr. J. Mason Neale, who traced the original back to an undated Constantinopole book, in which he announced, he. had found also the original of his well- known hymn "Art thou weary? Art thou languid?" Our hymn, is in, its original, to be credited to St, Anatolius, a ,student. or' follower' of St. Theodore of the Studium; born''at Constantinopole in or about ° 759, noted for his resolute refusal to acknoweldge the Emperor Contantine's illicit marriage with the charming 'Theodora. (Of course this Constantine must • not be confused With the first Christian Emperor who flourished several centuries ear- lier). Theodore wrote many hymns, from` one of which comes our hymn, "Jesu, Name all names above." No doubt it was from Theodore that Anatolius was inspired to write his hymns or "stichera," as they were called from their position in the ser- vices, when used as they are not now, Dr. NNeale's lines, in this hymn, and iii "The day is past and over," are all that are now left, so far as is known, of the hymns of Anatolius, though happier days may reveal other rnanu.- scripts in some old convent,, or re- ttote presbytery, where,t1te Otthodo'c .!ranch of; the CatholipY,; Clt'nrch en- joys the peace and quiet ;which has been denied her ;in •anaq. e parts.of the least, ,,e,,spacially in Russia and Ar- menta :: Our hymn stood first ;in Dr. ,,Mule's book "I"fy'mds of thetitsterxin,CYittr'ch'r' In hisititt0;dttction„tothis hook he.

It is indeed, remarkable that the Western parts of the Catholic church, Roman and English, had evidenced so little interest in the Eastern part, which was, of course, the Mother Church of the whole of Christendom: No doubt the wedge driven in by Mo- hammedanism between East and West. was in great 'measure respon- sible for this. Certain it is that the West is generally indebted to J. Ma- son Neale for his zeal, labor and his scholarish, which opened to us anew the hymnological treasures of the an- cient Eastern Church, which are now among the most valued hymns in use among English-speaking peoples the whole world over. The life of that remarkable man has often been alluded toin these ar- ticles upon hymns. Here, then it may suffice to say that he was born in 1818 in London, the son of a noted scholar, the Rev. Cornelius Neale, Senior Wrangler, Chancellor's Medal- ist, and Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, trained by an intellectual mother rafter his father's early death. At Cambridge lie won high honors though he did not inherit his fath- er's mathematical ability. It was the time when the Tractarian revivalistic movement had just spread to Cam- bridge from Oxford progressionists, met with opposition and persecution which followed him almost to the end of his useful life in 1866, There was absolutely nothing in their practices which have not become commonplace now, but led by the royal court, there was a pronounced opposition to even simple forms of ritual, and, in- deed, to alI' distinct Church teaching, which distinguished' the English form from the Lutheran Churches. Neale, whose writings put him in the very first rank of historians, commentat- ors, hymn -writers, and secular story writers, was never advanced beyond the superintendency of a kind of almshouse at a salary of about a'hun- dred dollars a year. He even suff- ered personal persecution, which his always delicate coestitution fitted Jilin pocirly`, to endure, but he worked on uncomplainingly as one of the inost` tis'eful of the sons of the Chtnth he passionately loved. The tune, "Ternpestas," is one of litany written specially for the hymn, Perhaps •the one most commonly us- ed, and was written by Thomas Langton, of whom this present writ- er unhappily knowns nothing more ;than that he gave us this tune and a simple and 'popular trine to '"Criss= ing the Bar," by Lord Tennyson.

The lower part of the Block repre- sents the round tower of a Norman castle and on it two mettlesome knights stage a tilting match every quarter dour. With levelled lances they charge at each other.

At a quarter past each hour, the knights have two encounters; at the half-hour, four; at the three-quarter, Biz and at the hour, eight, The idea of these mechanical jous- ters is taken from Wells Cathedral, whose clock, was reputedly devised by Peter Lightfoot, a monk who labored at ga stonbury in the fourteenth am - But, although the idea is old, its reincarnation is modern, for Hamil- ton's knights are operated by a small rotary motor and controlled .automat- ically by a synchronome master clock.

The clock ` is built on Tudor lines and the historical accuracy of its de- sign is guaranteed by the fact that it was prepared by Kruger Gray, the heraldic artist who also designed the dragon which is chased hourly by St. George at Liberty's in Regent street, London. PUT THIS IN THE PAPER "Please put this in your paper." That was the message written on an envelope which was left at the office. It came from a farmer a few miles out of the city, and it is good enough to put in any paper. "I am sitting at the kitchen table tonight writing this. My boots are in the oven getting dried out because I have been wading through six inch- es of water in the hayfield. It has been so wet lately that I have had more time for. reading your paper and I am beginning to think a man who works for a living is a fool. I see where one company that had a capital of $2500 was bought up and a million paid for it, The stock on my farm is worth $2,500 but I have no chance to make a million out of 'them so I'm in the wrong business. Another day I mind reading where a man put up $190,000 and sold out for a mil- lion: On Saturday I was at the Stratford market and managed to get home with $7 in my pocket and I got. the paper, too, and found out that Some 4r. Sweezey had handed a mil- lion to the politicians. I used to do a little .stumping myself around elec- tion times but no person ever gave me a million. If they had I'd lie quit' or gone on just as the;,man with the millidn said. And last, I see where a senator is supposed to have made almost two million, and all this money centred around some power plant that hasn't yet turned a wheel. Wait till I; get my boots out of the oven—they're starting to smoke and not being a millionaire .I haven't got another pair. Sometimes us folk in the country are called hayseeds and sodbusters, and I vices that's about all we are. I'll be hanged if I can see how a farmer can matte three or four millions of dollars acid do it be- fore he starts to work, We're slow all right. We never get paid for any- thing until we deliver the goods. Perhaps I could organize my farm into a corporation or a syndicate or something like that and sell stock for a 'million. dollars.

Dritish "Safety First" Movement Make Big Step Fiorwaad. A big: step forward in the Britsb "Safety First" movement is recorded by the Chief Inspector of Factories and Workshops in his report for 1929. The writer refers to the estab- lishment of Safety First Committees in large industrial establishments, and the report quotes instances of wbrks in which the accident rates has been reduced to a substantial extent. "The reports from all areas show that substantial progress has been made," states the Chief Inspector, but he adds that "there is great var- iation as regards the efficiency of these organisations, andkiAllere•:s^are' far too many instances quoted where laek of interest, lethargy ,;and laxity have been observed. The' filar acci- dents for the year number .nearly 1 000. ,.; Statistics :pow available show that out of 1,189 ' works which would be affected by the order, 849 have set up. Safety Committees •'or other forma of safety organisation, BIRD PEST IS AT LAST CONOUER,ED So far this season the starling and, blackbird trap at the Miller Sanctu- ary a.t Kingsville, has pttt an end to over 12,000 starlings—the most des- tructive bird pest that has ever en- tered Canada—and the birds are still coming at an average of over 400 a day. The pest which has been nest- ing all over town driving out flickers, woodpeckers and even sparrows and other insectivorous birds, is becom- ing exceedingly scarce, and a few more which will quietly walk into the Miner trap will. clean up the district fairly well. In Australia the English Starling has become a serious scour- ge, and the people seem. to be at a loss to know how to get rid of them. Blue prints of the trap may be secur- ed from the Department of Agricul- ture, Ottawa, free, by anyone who will agree to build a trap and put it in operation. We believe if our park board would put one of these traps in the cemetery it would not be long before 'blackbirds and starlings which have become a nuisance there would be cleaned up. The Miner trap cat- ches the birds and none are ever known to escape, and is the only con- trivance yet invented to successfully ( rid the country of these objectionable birds. There is no patent on it—any- one can build and 'use it.—Kingsville Reporter. a« Ugly' People's Club.
