You can tell a good driver
by the mileage he gets from
his tires
OMB fellowsare sure rough on tires --slam on
LI the brake and slide a yard or two in stopping --
drop in the clutch and spin the rear wheels in
starting—speed round corners and skid.
'It may save a few minutes running time -it may
even look a little "showy" to the man on the side-
walk—but
ide-walkbut the real driver knows that it means
miles off the running life of the tires.
Good tires will give unbelievable miles of service if
you treat them right. Drive sanely.
Come in and let us put the gauge on the valves
once a week—under inflation means certain
trouble. Let us examine the casings regularly for
embedded flints and nails. This service will save
dollars on your year's car expense.

Perhaps it is not intrinsically a very
good tune, some musiciznsicriticise it
adversely, and a fesv of the most care
fully edited hymn -tune books have,of
tate Years omit}ed it altogether, The
last editions of Hymns Ancient and
Modern' leave it out, although it was
included in earlier editions; The Eng-
lish Hymnal does not, contain it at
all, though the Methodist Hymn
Boole, edited by Sir Frederick Bridge,
and the Presbyterian ' "Book of
Praise" both have it set to "Fight the
good fight" and other Hymns,
It has been a popular tune, however
and even if it is not very first rate
music might have, been concededto
the public taste, in books .intended •to
be popular.
The Rev. William Boyd, its corn -
poser, died recently (February,x6) at
the advanced age of eighty-three. Of
Scottish parentage he was born in
Jamaica; and at an early age was sent
to England, where he received his el-
ementary education at Hurstpierpont,
his tutor being the Reverend Sabine
Baring Gould, author of "onward
Christian Soldiers," "Through the
night of doubt and sorrow," and the
composer, of the tune $udoxia to an-
other of his hymns,, "Now the day is
over?'
He won an organ scholarship which
admitted him to Worcester College
Oxford, where he played the organ,
as well as at St. Edmund Hall, Pem-
broke College ,and Trinity College in,
the sarne university.
After his ordination he filled sever-
al appointments before being appoint-
ed vicar of All Saints Parish, Norfolk
Square, London, Eng. His musical
knowledge enabled him to get up
beautifully rendered musical services,
and his church was always attended
by notable people interested in sac-
red music. Some of the best known
musicians were his friends, including
the famous C. Gounod and Sir Arthur
Sullivan. As .years came on he lost
his eyesight, arid in 1918 resigned his
charge. A talented wife and four chil-
dren tenderly cared for him in the
then succeeding years of trial.
He wrote his tune Pentecost at the
request'of his old tutor, _Mr, $, Baring;
Gould, who was arranging a. service
for colliers at Whitsuntide in his
Yorkshire parish, and wanted a tune
for the hymn "Conte gracious Spirit,
heavenly Dove." Mr. Boyd composed
the tune for that occasion, and that
hymn, hence its name Pentecost.
Among the musical Yorkshire people
the tune soon became well known.-
Sir
nown -Sir Arthur Sullivan heard it sung
there, and one day chancing to meet.
Mr. Boyd in the street, greeted slim
with;. "My dear Billy, I've seen a
tune of yours which I must have!
Sir Arthur was then editing the new
edition of "Church Hymns" issued by
the Society for Promoting Christian
Knowledge, and wanted a tune for
Mr. Monsell's hymn, which had ap-
peared a few years previously.
Mr. Boyd granted Sir Arthur's re-
quest then and there, but was dismay-
ed when he found his tune had been
•divorced front the words for \which
it was written and given to : a ' new
unknown hymn. Time however prov-
ed that the change was a wise one,
for if played "in sprightly time, it is
vastly better suited to "Fight the
good fight," than to the great,, solemn
Whitsuntide hymn, though the name
of the tune is puzzling to those una-
ware of its history.
The words of dur hymn, so well fit-
ted for Dominion Day services, were
written by the Rev. Dr, J. S, Bewley.
Monsell, son of an Archdeacon of
Londonberry, Ireland, educated in
law and divinity at Trinity College,
Dublin, Chancellor of Connor diocese
and afterwards rector of Guildford in
the diocese of Wroxeter, Eng, While
rebuilding .his parish church he fell
,1 from the roof and, was killedin 1875.
He wrote some valuable devotional
and instruction books and composed
a large number of good hymns, in-
cluding "Holy offerings, rich and
'rare," 'Lord of the living harvest,"
''"God is love, that 'anthem olden,"
"Sing to the 'Lord a joyful song„ "I.
hunger and I thirst," -some three
hundred in all,
Fight the good
might,
Christ is thy Strenghth, and Christ thy
Right;
t
Lay hold on life, and it shall be
Thy joy and crown eternally.
Run the straight race through God's
good grace,
Lift up thine eyes, and seek His face;
Life with its way before us lies,
Christ is the path, and Christ the
prize.
Cast care aside, lean on thy Guide,
fight with all
thy
Hisboundless mercy will provide;
Trust, ' and thy trusting soul shall
prove
Christ is its life, and Christ its love.
Faint not nor fear, His Arms are
near,
He changeth not, and thou art dear;
Only believe, and thou shalt see
That Christ is all in all to thee. Anien,

Spirit, God's Holy Spirit, possessed
by Stephen in full ineasnre, not only
gave hire courage to face the San-
hedrin and mental power to address
them, but clarified his spiritual vis-
ion so that he could see heaven, and
the Father and the Son, Looked up
steadfastly into heaven. Stephen
was not trembling with fear but was
steady and ,calm, , That was because
Inc soul was fixed on things above.
And saw the glory of God. Stephen
had just called God "the Godof
glory" (verge 2) : now he saw that
glory. And Jesus standing on the
right hand of God. Jesus had pro-'
phesied that hereafter He shoal), be
seen. "sitting :at the right hand of
Power," (Mark 14: 62.)
And said, Behold, I see the heav-
ens, opened, and' the . Son of man
standing on the right .hand of God.
Stephen was in the council chamber
of the Sanhedrin, but in his ecstatic
vision the ceiling melted away, and.
the sky above it was cleft through,
and he perceived the heaven of heav-
ens, the central abode of Jehovah:°.
But they cried out with loud voice
and stopped their ears. When Jesus,
,in the presence of the Sanhedrin, as-
serted Himself tobe the Son of God,
all the Senators were filled with hor-_
ror at what they regarded as blas-
phemy, and, at once voted Him guilty
of that crime which was punishable
by death. And rushed upon him with
one accord. "Stephen's death was a
'Murder in which. Sanhedrin elders,
and people became `a brutal, mob,
And they cast him out of the city.
The law of Moses (Lev, •24:.,14); re-
quired that executions by stoning
should take place outside the camp;
Christ was crucified outside the walls
of Jerusalem. And stoned him. This
r the characteristic Jewish mode of ex-

ecution, was at least more merciful
than the Roman crucifixion which
Christ endured. And the witnnesses

of a young man named Saul.. ; The.

it plain that he held Jesus to be God.
Any saying, Lord Jesus, receive ,my
spirit. Perhaps Stephen had heard
Jesus on the cross, when about to
die, cry "Father, unto Thy hands 1
commend My spirit." Now he ad-
dressed the Baine cry to Christ him-
self,
And he kneeled' down, and cried
with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this

And 'Saul was consenting unto his
death. Nott that the stoning re-
quired Saul's consent; but he coun-
tenanced the awful deed. And there
arose on that day a great persecution
against the church which was in Jer-
usalem. This was the large body of
Christians in Jerusalem, including .the
few disciples at Christ's death. And
they were all scattered abroad
