The magnificent tune "titin T'reut
Eueh" or "Luther's Hymn," to which
it is'always sung', is responsible for
curious mistakes regarding this well
known Advent hymn. There would
appear to be no doubt that Martin
Luther composed the music,although
at one time some attributed it - to
Prince Albert, Consort of Queen 'Vic-'
torial, grandfather of our present King,.
Luther was a good practical„ musi-
cian. It•will be remembered that he
paid his way to college by singing
in the streets, and he had. a good
working knowledge of thorough -bass
or harmony. :He 'wrote the tune -
which he seems to have called "Eric
for his own hymn "Nun freut, etc.,"
or "Dear Christian people,:all Re_
juice," which was the first o'angrega-
tional hymn he wrote in 1523,
It is said that one day Luther heard
a workman sing the melody of the
tune 'and at once:wrote down the
notesof ' •
fort itupafterwards
r
t to y e wa s
d
' into a noble hyltltn tune, : Originally
the workman probably made his mel-
ody from an ancient and popular song,
still in existence.
The tune helped to' make' the hymn
very well known,'and it has been
j used in Germany ever since Luther's
day.
In 1565 an attempt was made,by
Bartholomew Ringwadt to translate
into German the "Dies Irae" or "Day
of Wrath, 0 Day of Mourning," by
Thomas of Celano in the 13th cen-
tury. This translation began as turn-
ed into English by a learned German
hymn -writer, J. C. Jacobi, who spent
most of his life in England, with
these lines:
fe 'Tis sure that awful Time will come,
When Christ the Lord of Glory
Shall from His throne give men their
Doom
And change what's transitory;
1 Who will then venture to retire.
Wimp all's to be consumed by Fire
As Peter has declared?"
To this translation by Ringwadt our
'tune was set and sung, as it was also
I to the hymn printed, above, Hence
:arose the impression that that hymn
was a sort of free translation of the
Dies Irae, taken from Ringwaldt's ver
'sion, A comparison of the two by -
inns, both of which are to be found
in nearly all the hymnbooks, shows
how unfounded that statement is... It
refers to the Day of Judgment, as
does the "Day of Wrath, 0 Day of
Mourning," and that is really all the
connection there is between them!
Then because the tune was. Luther's,
indeed in some e hymnbooks called
"Luther," the impression was formed
and became almost general, that the
noted German reformer composed our
hymn to which it was usually set! Ac-
tually Luther had no connection at
all with the hymn.
It is exceedingly interesting to trace
the history of this hymn, In 1802
there appeared in ,Sheffield, Eng„ a
hymnal
put forth by local
publishers,
prepared by certain elergymeil; and
others, (Montgomery the poet was
then living in that town, hut does not
appear to have had any hand in the
publication). In this book, entitled
{`Psalms and Hymns for Public and
Private Devotion," was printed as a
single verse hymn, the first stanza of
"Great God! what do I see and hear,"
by a writer who remained anonymous.
This was in the same metre as Ring-
waldt's version of the Dies Tree, and
the tune sung to that was almost nat-
urally transferred to it for the one
verse hymn. It has never become
lmown who wrote that verse!
In 1812 the Reverend Dr. Collyer, a
pious and devoted church clergyman,
puhlished a number of the hymns he
composed or used in his services un-
der the title: "Hymns Partly Collect-
ed and Partly Original," which in -

Outstanding Chevrolet
of Chevrolet History
a fix in the price range of 'thefour
THE Chevrolet Motor Company of Canada, Limited,
announces The Outstanding Chevrolet of Chevrolet
History .. a Six in the price range of the four!
Spectacular as Chevrolet's achievements have been in the
past . . notable as its engineering triumphs have proved
themselves to be -this remarkable new car dwarfs every
previous Chevrolet accomplishment. Not only does it intro-
duce into the low-priced field an entirely new measure of
performance, comfort, beauty and style --but it is sold at
prices so low as to alter every previous conception of Motor
car value.
The new six -cylinder valve -in- head
engine—developed from more than a
hundred motors designed especially for
this sensationa!"car—stands out as an
engineering masterpiece. With a
power increase of approximately 32%
over the previous Chevrolet motor,
with sensationally greater speed and
faster acceleration—it offers a type of
performance that it literally astound-
ing .. even to those who have been
driving cars costing hundreds of dol-
lars mote.
Throughout the entire speed range, it performs with a
smoothness and quietness of operation that have never be-
fore been approached in a low-priced automobile. At the
slower speeds of city traffic it idles along with wonderful
silence and ease. On boulevards and, country roads it
responds with an eagerness that is a constant delight. It
takes the longest and steepest hills with an abundant reserve
of power that is a source, of pride to the driver.
And its economy of operation averages better than 20 miles
to the gallon of gasoline!
In appearance, this Outstanding Chev-
rolet is so smart, so stylish and so dis-
tinctively appointed that it rivals the
costliest custom creations. The new
Fisher bodies are longer, lower and
roomier with, adjustable driver's seat
in all closed models—and reveal the
matchless artistry of Fisher designers.
You are cordially invited to visit our
showroom and secure complete and
detailed information on this sensa-
tional new car which will be ready for
delivery beginning January list.

eluded this verse and three added ver-
ses, greatly resembling those printed.
above,, He said in a note, "This hymn
which is adapted to Luther's celebrat-
ed tune, is universally ascribed to that
great man. As I never saw more
than this first verse, I was obliged
to lengthen itfor the completion of
the subject, and am responsible for
the verses which follow."
The Rev. Thomas Cotterill of Can-'
nook, in Staffordshire, Eng., published
in 1820 the 9th edition of his "Selec-
tion of Psalms and Hymns, etc.," con-
taining an altered version of Dr, Col-
lyer's lines, practically the same Ad-
vent hymn we have today, the princi-
pal difference being that the conclud-
ing stanza was made up' of the first
four lines of the anonymous verse of
1802 and these three from Dr, Col-
lyer's lines:
"Beneath His cross I view the day,
When heaven and earth shall pass
away,
And thus prepare to meet Him."
As printed herewith, from the ver-
sion now stereotyped for most of us
through its inclusion in "Hymns An-
cient and 1d �i1 trans-,
Modern" al thence n

ferred to many other hymnals it
makes a modal Advent hymn, greatly
used and favored at this season of the

To the Editur av all thim
Wingham Paypers.
Deer Sur:—
I poshtponed wroitin to ye till af-
ther I had attinded the Nominashun,
tinlcin inebby I wud hear soineting
tinter that wud give me a shtart, so
to shpake, but I didn't hey much luck,
so I didn't.
In the fursht place theer wus a
very shmall crowd prisint, an, shure
the hall put me in moind av a field
av fall whate that had been badly
whither killed, win] only a few stalks'
shtickin up theer heads here an there.
Me 'friend, Mishter Watson, bein
-Irish, made about the besht spaich
av anny av thim, sayin the mosht wid
the fewest wurruds. He told us how
the pdruk had been put in shape,
fer an Irishman loikes iviryting clane
an daycint; thin av how the Clerk's
:awfice had been improved, fer an
Irishman wants always to be up to
date; thin the Town scales wus made
safe an shtrong, fer an Irishman wud-
den't her tinge anny other way; thin
new furnaces had been inshtalled in
the basemint av the Town Hall, to
make tings comfortable fer the pris-
oners, whin we hev anny, arr whin
we are able to hould thim afther we
git thim. Mebby, now that we are
able to furnish thim wid warrumer
quarthers, visitors from other towns
will shtay wid us fer wan noight at
laist.
Jar,vn Hanna tould us that loikely
the taxes wud be hoigher nixt year,
which wus snebby as thrue a wurrud
as annywan shpoke the whole noight.
The mayor and reeve are boll back
at theer ould jawbs widout opposi-
tion, an 'tis betther so, fer they know
the run av tings betther than anny
grane min we cud put in theer places.
The mayor made a good spaich, an
taught iviryting wus goin well wid the
town. He said the Council had not
always mit with the success they
hoped fer in gittin new indushtries
to come to Wingham, but they didn't
inane to shtop throyin, arr wurruds
to that effickt. Me advoice to the
Council is "Kape roight on byes, far
ye are doin iviryting we cud ltev ray -
son to expickt av ye.".
I didn't hear annybody minshun the
ould fertilizer plant, but I didn't slitay
till the close av the maytin. Nayther
did I hear annyting about an Ould
Bye's Re -Union nixt year.
We wus plaized to hear av the $600
we do be gittin back iviry year from
thim big min av the Hydro Commis-
-lute but whoy don't they pay up fer
pasht years. 'Tis a lame ixcuse in-
toirely, an as wake as two pur chit
beer, that they hey no fund fey that
koind av ting. A. shtory loike that
vudden't go very far in the case ac
a proivate person. If he had no funds
o mate an honest obligashun, it wud
be up to him to foind-the money.
The payple av the town do be look-.
