O may this bounteous God Through all our life be near us, With ever joyful hearts And blessed peace to cheer us; And keep us in His grace, And guide us when perplexed, And free us from all ills 7n this world and the next, All praise and thanks to God The Father now be given, The Son, and Him Who reigns With Them in highest heaven, The One Eternal God, Whom earth and heaven adore, For thus it was, is now, And shall be 'evermore. When the ` Peace of Westphalia (October 24, 1648,) brought to the end the terrible Thirty Years War which left Germany with less than half' of its former population, an -ol- der went ,out to all regimental chap- lains that they should preach to their men from the text in. Ecclesiasticus L. 22-24, This rams as follows: — "Now therefore bless ye the God of all, Which only doeth "wondrous things everywhere, Which exalteth our days from the womb and dealeth with us according to His mercy, He VnifiizaW i i tftilrTess- of; heart, -and =that • pea=ce nia.}'""bc' in our days in Israel, forever; that He would confirm His mercy with us, and deliver us at His time." A comparison of these words with our hymn will show in a "moment that its first two verses are merely a paraphrase of the Scriptural text in Ecclesiasticus. The last verse as will be readily recognized, is a version of the Gloria Patri—Glory be to the Fa- ther and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, etc." Remembering the order to the chaplains noted above, it can hardly be wondered at that commentaries upon the hymn at once jumped to the conclusion that it was written for the thanksgiving services at the Peace of Westphalia, for which indeed it was. admirably l fitted. On, the contrary it may be the case that our hymn it was which led the German .- authorities to choose that very appropriate text for the military services of thanksgiving. For, there seems to be no doubt that it was published at least twelve years before that peace was declared. Legends regarding the origin of hymns conte into existence so readily and .are so, easily believed. by good sentimentally inclined people that no' one of experience wonders very -much at the pretty but utterly misleading stories printed in some •of the . pop- ulat•,.aiid uncritical magazines, re- garding the composition of this one wihch has become almost the Te, Deum Laudanius of .the German na- tion.

November 11, 1918, as it was for the Germans at the end of their cal- eniitous religious wars, and happily we have it in a fairly literal transla- tion, made by Miss Catherine Wink - Worth, • of Alderley • Edge, Cheshire, Ing., •who died suddenly in her fif tietft year in 1878, The hymn was written by .a very notable .clergyman an nutsiciap nam- ed Martin Rinkart, who was born at I;,'ilenburg in Saxony .on April 23, 1586, the son of a cooper. A clever student he won scholarships which "enabled him to take a degree in arts and to study theology at the great University • of Leipsie, After filling several other positions he became. archdeacon of his native town of Eil- enbtirg in 1617. Because the town was enclosed as a fortification the war then raging drove people from .the surrounding country to take shelter in it. .As a consequence . plague broke out and the fatalities' 'were simply appalling, After a time, his colleagues dead or flown away, Rinkart was left alone to administer the consolations of re ligion to the plague -stricken refugees. From forty to fifty. funerals a' day he had to take, ;until he had.buried some forty-five hundred persons, the sec- ular authorities commanded that for the future there should be no funeral services, but that the dead should. be buried in great trenches. Rinkart's own wife was among the victims. Towards the ending of the epidem- ic the Swedes arrived and demanded the surrender of the city. Twice Rin - kart led out his choir and people in procession to the commander of the enemy's forces, and by beautiful sing- ing, fervent prayers and timely inter- ecssions, persuaded him to leave the stricken town in peace. Although immensely popular at than time, his people forgot all he had done for them before peace was pro- claimed and allowed him to be har- assed by the debts he had contracted to save their,town .from plundering, and themselves from the plague. He died, worn out the year after the Peace in 1649, Human nature ap- pears tobe naturally inclined to for- get to be grateful, and requires grace of true religion to keep itself even decently thankful, after the need of assistance has passed away! The tame.. Nun Minket, was . com- posed by Johann Cruger„ one of the most noted musicians of his age, who was also a successful compiler of hymnals, It appeared first in the au- thor's "Praxis pietatis," the first edi- tion of which was published in 1640, and is one of the noblest, most dig- nified hymn -tunes in existence. Near- ly every one of his twenty tunes have survived the centuries and are still in use, and are also fittingly dignified and befitting the services to be ren- dered to Almighty God. It was said to have been composed by Cruger from a motet by Rinkart' himself, which is not unlikely since the good pastor was as renowned a musician as a poet and writer on theological and historical subjects. • TIMOTHY SAYS PAY YOUR DEBTS" To the Editur av all thim Wingham paypers, Deer Sur:— A lot of woise ould birruds hev been either throyin to shindy out the rayson av the harrud toimes, but none ratr shim hev shtruck the 'roight oidea yit, so they haven't, 'Tis mesilf that has, been doin.. a lot av tinkin on what ye moight• call the quistion befoor the House, so to shpake, an.1 belatve 1 hev jist been afther foindin a solos Innit to prob- lim, the e lim, as thim Hoigh School byes wud say.

For the third time within one year, a Supreme Court jury has failed to agree as to the guilt or innocence of Gilford and Harvey McNeil, accused of robbing, while armed, the Brussels branch of the Bank of Nova Scotia, of $6.000, on October 29th last. Fri- day night at 9 o'clock, after deliber- aiing for 12 hours, the jury reported a disagreement for the third time, since it retired at 10 o'clock in the morning and was discharged by jus- tice Logie. "Have you reached av=erdict?" ask- ed the court clerk. "We have not," replied the jury foreman. "Is there any chanceof year reach- ing an •agreeurent?" inquired Judge Logie. "There is not," "You have deliberated a very long time. Wheir you areyleadlocked as you are there' is no Use keeping you up all night, The situation is now in the hands of the attorney -general. You have had a trying week and you are now discharged," said justice Lo- gie. Within, a year the McNeil broth- ers have been placed on trial three times, the preceedings consuming 12 days all told, in February, in June in November. again It was announced by defense coun- cil, J. C. Makins, K,C,, for Harvey McNeil, and Campbell Grant, who acted at all three trials for.

This was taken to mean that there was little possibility of a third disagreement in this case, Half an hour %before the court op- ened at dine o'clock the court room was filled to overflowing. .At 8,50 o'clock the prisoners, showing the ef- fects of a sleepless night, entered the dock. They were in charge of jailer J. 13. Reynolds, who has been their constant attendant throughout the ,trial:At 8,55 the jury filed in and sharp at nine, as the court: house clock " tolled the hotir, Justice 'Logic took his scat. Unlike other sessions: of the trial, there were very few "women present. The judocharge to the jury lasted exactly one *hour and was very strong against the prisoners, so much so that strenuous objection was taken to it by the defence counsel, J. C. Ma- tins, K.C., and Campbell Grant, who charged that his Lordship's summing up was biased and not founded on the evidence. The defence also con- tended that his Lordship assumed too much. Justice Logie refused to recall the jury as suggested by Mr, Makins. "I know that the court of appeal is driving the judge to the position of junior, or assistant defence coun- sel, but I stili hold it is my duty and myprivilegeto charge against the Prison+ers if in my opinion the evi- dence and the circumstances warrant it,". said Justice Loige. An extract from a letter written from Detroit by Gilford to the bro- ther, Harvey, in Teeswater, dated Sept. 11, 1930, six weeks before the robbery, was dealt with at length by the trial judge. Sentences written by. Gilford read:, "I will have to pay $20 to $30 for any good reliable auto—, I have now only $65 left, so will have to get a couple of pays under my belt the command, ":fret 'erne u > , or I'll : up, blow your d•-••• braids out?'

When he was asked nine days after When rob- b.ery if he knew anything 'of the pris- oners' doings on the slay ofitthe rob- bery he had "replied in = the', negative, yet he came along a..pfar after and gave the court a minute account of being in company with his nephews an the very day.'and'at the •fiery hour of the robbery."- ",`.Can you believe a witness who acts in that manner," asked His Lordship. "As for Louis Warner, he is .a self- confessed thief. You also may think he is a liar.
