'Tis easier far to the-- Gently and silently to pass away; On earth's long eight to close the heavy y eye And waken in the realms of glori- ous day. Teach me that harder lesson, how to live, To serve Thee inthe darkest paths of life; Arm me for conflict now, fresh vigor give, And make me more than conqueror in the strife. Teach me to live! No idler let me be, fulfil; Bright for Thy ,glory let mytaper shine; Each day renew, remould the stub- born will; Closer round Thee my heart's affec- tions twine. Teach me to live! No idler let he be, But in Thy service hand and heart employ, Prepared to do Thy bidding cheer- fully: Be this my highest and my holiest joy. Teach me to live, my daily cross to bear, Nor murmur though I bend beneath its load; Only be with me; let me feel Thee near; • Thy smile sheds gladness on ° the darkened road. Teach me to live, with kindly words for all, Wearing no cold, repulsive brow of gioorn, Waiting with cheerful patience till Thy call Summon my spirit to its heavenly home.

To live well in all respects, is to die well, and at the resurr•e tion to rise well. , Thb theme of the hymn "Teach' me to live," is excellent. So far as is known it first saw -the light in: "Songs of Grace and Glory for Private, Family and Public. Wor- ship, Hymnal Treasures of the Church of Christ from the 6th to the 19th Century," which' was first published in 1872. The Rev. C. )3 Snepp, M.," vicar of Perry Barr, the editor, n 1 m whohad 'as talented c er an a w a gy trained as a lawyer, and had abilities as a hymnologist and musician. His book' is remarkable for the number of fine hymns not met with elsewhere. It is rather curious that it has not been even more largely drawn upon by subsequent makers of hymns, than has been the case, for no other book of the •past century contained quite , as many unusual hymns of the highest merit. Perhaps one reason for the -excep- tional discrimination displayed in the choice of hymns is to be found in the fact that the refined, well-trained abii- mouth station, writes a former B.B.C. t of Miss Francis Ridleyofficial in' the " Evening News (Lon- g Hager al g , don). As a final item the "Over - author of many splendid hymns- tune -1812" had been chosen, but: "Take my life and let it be,"; "Golden the regular man on the tubular bells Harps are sounding," "I gave my life was taken ill, and a deputy was ob- for thee,"' for instance, - assisted ,tamhd. The' tubular bell broadcasts most in' their, compilation. Some of her. powerfully, and has tobe kept well hymns were written for this hymn- in the background, and on this oeca- bool, and the majority of them ap- peared in its several editions. WINGHAM ADVANCE-,TT11'TE,'S FUN •iN A W1RELt~SS The R,13,C, Can Tell Stories of I u- rel»earsed Meets as Coad: as on the Singe. In the days of its inttuicy, when thy. B.B.O. was broadcasting from one lit- tie room at the top of Marconi House, a padre was:. giving a religious ad- dress one Sunday, night, and complet- ed his talk with the following words: "If you will walk in His ways you are sure of the Kingdom of Heaven," In those clays, say : an article in Tit -Bits, in order to swlteh off the microphone, whoever was on duty just disconnected it in the studio, and not as now by a signal to the control room. ' On this :erasion Mr. Burrows- now secretary general of the Inter- national Union of Ra-iiophony--was in charge. As the padre finished his lecture, he turned to Mr. Burrows and remarked, "I. don't think I have been too long, do you?" forgetting that all he said would be broadcast. Mr. /Burrows hastily disconnected, but not quickly enough, with the re- sult that what the listener heard was : "If you walk in His ways you are sure of the Kingdom of Heaven -I don't think." Another incident occurred one night when an orchestral program. was being broadcast, conducted by Capt. W. A. Featherstone, at that time musical director for the Bourne The "Songs of Grace'and Glory" and its appendices extended to great size in its successive editions con- taining finally no less than a •.thous and and ninety-four hyrnns. Its edi- tor Rev. Charles B. Snepp was what would now be.` styled a low -church- man and the book is certainly Calvin- istic in tone, though never offensive- ly so. Nor would it have attained popularity; as it did, had it been too strong in sectional partizanship. In its first edition our hymn was ascribed as regards authorship to a "Dublin Leaflet 1860." In a later, musical edition dated 1880, the auth- or's name is given as "Ellen Elizabeth Burman, 1860." Who this lady was, and what other verse she wrote had notbeen told' us, and the present writer would greatly like. to hear something more of her doings: It does not appear probable that the author of such sensible, admirably expressed, apparently. heart -felt ideas rested content with endowing the fut- ure with nothing more from her pen. As reproduced here our hymn is to be found in "The Baptist Church Hymnal," published in London, 1590, which contains a large number of. good hymns not commonly found in the hymnbooks. There it is set to, Genoa, the tune printed herewith, the composition of Henry Smart and it is suggested that Langran's (not Dyke's) St. Agnes, often. set to Dr. honar's "Here, 0 my Lord, I see Thee face to face," is also suited to it. ' Though it must be confessed that that pol3ular tune does not very well suit all the verses of this hymn. • Henry Smarts music is nearly al- ways tuneful and easily caught up with by a congregation, as witness for instance his tune "Regent Square" to "Light's Abode, celestial Salem," "Par- adise" to "O Paradise." "St. Leon- ard's" to "0 for a faith," and many another. Our hymn "Teach me to live" may. not be altogether suitable for use by an ordinary congregation, but for pri- vate, it may be said for prayerful use, nothing could be better, for most peo- ple have a desire to live well and use- fully, and such words as these may well express real unspoken heartfelt desire of some to seek.- for help to do so from the source of all wisdom and all power. TOURISTS PRAISE THE LAKE AND RAIL ROUTE TO WEST Summer travellers to 'Western Can - ads are enthusiastic in their praise of the ' boat trip from Sarnia to Fort William, where the Northern Navi- gation boats connect with the Canad- ian. National Railways boat train for the West. There are exclamations of delight from those travelling over this route, at the excellent meals, the very roomy docks and d splendid dancing floor. They say that the thoughtfulness of the social hostess makes the jour- ney just like a big house party where everybody has a joious time, Decksports are ,arranged for the guests who desire them. For those who desire rest and leisure to read, there are dozens of sunny nooks a- bout the decks, In the evenings a peppy orchestra provides dance music for all who enjoy the thrill of danc- ing on board boat. 11; sion the bells were too near the microphone. All went well until those passages were reached where the bells ring out in a regulated scale,, whilst the rest of the orchestra plays a most martial air. Then the deputy just spat on his hands, rolled u-' his cuffs, and proceeded to linock the life out of those. bells. All the frantic signals of the conductor were ignored, He just hammered away. At last °apt, Featherstone •could stand itno longer; he was an Irish- man --and his blood was roused, Dropping his baton, he made one great pounce. Seizing the unfortun- ate deputy by the collar and another part of his clothes, he hustled him through the open door of the studio into the passage. Then he returned, perspiring but triumphant, picked. up his baton, and carried on. Here is an episode that dates back a long time. It concerns the first S.B. (simultaneous broadcast) of grand opera from Covent Garden. One assistant at Newcastle was a most charming man, but a man who fell into traps; consequently, it was an easy matter to pull his leg. At Newcastle the transmitting station was approximately a mile away from the studio from which the artistes broadcast. The staff were all in the studio, except fol' the engineers at the transmitter, and were all on ten- terhooks and strung up with sup- pressed excitement awaiting the mu- sic fern the Opera House. Then the telephone from the trans- mitter rang out. An assistant an- swered, and a conversation between him and an engineer ensued: - Assistant speaking: "Hello!'" "You can what?" -"You can hear music? Really? By Jove, that's fine!" - "What?" -eh -it sounds like what? Like -like a military band -but is it coming up on the line from. 2L0?, -- You've what?

"Fully seventy-five, per cent. of the delinquency that is dealt with by the juvenile Courts of Canada is due to lack of home influence and training," • declares .Rt. Rev. Henry. A. Gray, Bishop. of Edmonton, who has been judge of the juvenile court at Ed- monton for over twenty years and whose knowledge of junior troubles is encyclopedic. Like many another Canadian on the beneh, Bishop Gray has a keen sense of humor. He showed this iii his answer to an, interviewer ..who wanted to know whether, on the whole, boy or girl delinquents were the worse., "The average delinquent is seldom bad at heart:" explained the bishop. "The boy's are never as tough as they think they are, and the girls can't possibly be asbad as they are painted." u Lamp's Long Sea .Trip. • A curious -looking object was seen bobbing up ,and down on the waves at a North Wales coast resort.

The 'trip from Owen Sound by boat, calling at such points as Little Current, Gore Bay and Manitowaning, is a pleasure in itself. Everybody gets acquainted and. the meals and scenery, are excellent, When the boat enters St. Mary's riv- er, with its numerous bays and wind- ing course, it is historic ground, as well as very picturesque. The first name for "The Soo" was l3awating, meaning the, rapids. The Indians, the Ojibways, were the first inhabitants, legend stating that hey came from the north-west before 1600, The first .white men to see the rapids and discover lake Superior were' I✓t ienne Ernie and a companion named Grenolie: It was in 1622: The' city is proud of its historic past anct has numerous tablets on street corners, public buildings and stone -cairns, with interesting ;inscri- ptions. inscri-ptions. One of them states that in 1632 Champlain had a map showing seven 'Ojibway cabins on the site of the city, Another informs us that Jean Nieotet the' explorer was ,sent by Sieur de Champlain to the Sault in 1634. On the American side where the bank rises front the rapids there is a large boulder marking the spot where rather James Marquette S. 5,,, built the Mission Church in 1668 which is claimed to be the fist place of worship in the north country. In front of ,that place there is a tall, granite shaft, whose inscription reads. -"Beside these rapids, June 14, 1671 Daumont de Lusson, Nicolas Perrot, Louis Joliet and, Fathers Dablon,. I3ruillettes, Allonez and Andre claim - possession of all lands from the seas to the north and west to the South Sea, for `Louis XIV of France." The Canadians also have a cairn near the locks on which is a similar inscrip- tion " With the loss of New France, the history changes from French Missions. and exploration to the Fur Trade.. There are numerous relics of that in- teresting industry, They are found in and about the great Clergue Works where; massive engineering 'and ship- ping have taken the place of hunters and their furs, Tablets, monuments and a weather-beaten block -house are memorials of that period. One of them states that in 1788 the North West company took over the Old French Trading Post at Sault Ste. Marie. ' In 1797 the North West' Fur Com- pany built a small canal with wooden locks for canoes and batteaux. In the War of 1812 the United States troops destroyed the wharf and Trad- ing Post. However, the lock has been re -built and is of great historical in- terest.
