St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, who lived from 345 to 4;10 A.D. and Owed his conversion and baptism to St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, gives us a clue of the origin of the cus- t m of sin ing hymns in the western church irt these words:— was e yr or not much more, that Justine, mother of the Emperor Valentiab, then a child, persecuted Tliy servant Ambrose in favor of her heresy, to (vhieh she was seduced by the Arians. The devout people kept watch in the church, ready to (lie with their bishop, Thy servant, There my mother, Thy handmaid, bearing a chief part, in those anxieties and watt- chings, lied for prayer, We, yet un - warmed by the heat of Thy Spirit, still were stirred by thc sight of the amazed and disquieted city. Then it was instituted that, after the manner of the Eastern Churches, hymns and Psalms should. be sung, ist the ,peo- ple should•vvax faint through the ted- iousness of sorrow, and from that day to this the custom is retained," , We may picture the sound church - people of Milan occupying their great church night and day, to prevent the Arian heretics, who denied the divin- ity of Our X.ord. Jesus Christ, from taking possession of it, meanwhile praying, reading the Sriptures and be- ing exhorted by their noble bishop, learning hymns and their tunes, which they sang to prevent their wearying. Where would they get the hymns? No doubt many of them would be translated from the Greek hymns of the Eastern Church, The New Testa- ment was written. in Greek, and the Septuagint Greek version of the Old Testament was commonly used, so that it would be easier and more nat- ural to write hymns in Greek than in Latin. Greek, and not Latin Was the original language of Christianity. Ambrose, a highly educated Ro- man official; •himself wrote some of the hymns, influenced largely no doubt by hymns of the Greek, or Eastern Church, whose Patriarch, the Bishop of Constantinople then the' capital of the Roman Empire, was one of the chief, probably the chief authority of tlie church. The. Roman papacy was not established until over a century later. The Emperor Valen- tinian resided at Milan and Anebrose bishop there, was most prominent a- n -tong the western bishops. Born in 340, 'probably at Treves in France where his father occupied the position of Prefect of the Gauls, or Roman Governor of Fiance, he was taken by his mother to Rome on the death of his father in 353, where he received a thorough education in clas- sics and law, and, after pra.ctising in the highest courts, was appointed Consular of Liguria and. Aernilia in ltaly, which made it necessary for him to reside at Milan. Shortly after his appointment, but not before he had become exCeeding- ly popular, the bishop of the diocese died and the people tact in their great church to elect his successor. Feel- inge ran high for the Arian party was strong, vigorous and greatly feared by those who stuck to the old : faith of the New Testament, and Would You Build A House Without A Roof'? You won't start to build a house unless you know you can finish it. The Bell • Telephone Company tries to be equally sensible. The company does not need all its $7 ,000,000 of new capital.now but will spread its issue over years to 'come. But it does need the assurance that, when equipment is started now for fu- tUre teiepnones, money can be obtained to finish the job. By.1934 Ontarto and Quebec will need a mallets •tekphones.

At a convenient nloman't he rose and addressed the concourse in well chosen words, with the voice and training of an experienced °retch:, ex- horting them to set an example of peace and order. ' Of a sudden 4 yOUng 0.11141:5 voice called out "Ambrose is. Bishop!" In- stantly the cry was taken up unanie moesly, and in spite cif all his objec- tions he was made to feel that it was his duty to accept the election He was baptized, • cohfirmed, or- dained, consecrated bishop within a week or two, his consecration taking place on December 3rd, 374. A great biehop he became, fearless, tender, able, eloquent, wise, a true spiritual shepherd of his flock. He had the privilege of receiving into the church the great and learned St. Augustine, and, according to one story,. co-operated with him in COM - posing the Te Deum on that occa- sion. It is certain that he did com- pose at least a dozen fine hymns, of one of which the verses printed here- with are a somewhat free translation by the Rev. Professor C. Bigg, of, Oxford University. Upwards of a 'hundred altogether have been. ascrib- ed to him, though no doubt some of them 'were written for his use by others, or were attributed to him in later years, because they were •con- eidered good enough to • have been composed by him. The Emperor Theodosius on one occasion, mad with rage over the murder of a favorite chariot driver, ordered a general massacre of the people of Thessalonica (the Salonika of the late war), which orders, hastily given, unhappily were carried out. On the next Sunday the Emperor was met at the church door by the bishop who forbade his entering God's -house with innocent: blood upon his head! Nor would Afnbrose remove his re- striction for months up to a Christ- mas Day, until assured of the Em- peror's penitence and had received his legislated assurance that never a- gain could such a rash order be car- ried, out, nor the death sentence be inflicted without a delay of so many days and a fair trial of the culprits. St. Augustine in Itis "Confessions" tells us how rte was comforted on the day of St. Monica's, his mother's funeral, when other means of allev- iating his anguish failed: "for the bit- terness of sorrow could not exude out of my heart. • Then I slept and woke up again, and found my grief softened not a little; • but as I was alone in my bed remembered those true verses of Thy Ambrose. For Thou art. 'Creator of the earth and sky, • Ruling the firmament 'on high, Clothing the clay with robes of light, 131essing with gracious sleep the night.'• " and so on to the end of the second verse. .Ambrose died on Easter F.ve 397, renowned as scholar, statesman, theologian, musician aad poet, Our hymn has al -ways been populat in Britain, which must, have received it soon after it was written, since the ancient Anglo Saxon hymnals had it long before the other Augustine, the monk:from Rome landed in the south of England. We are not certain of the Ambrosias tune to which it was first sung, but doubtless it such re- sembled those we call Gregorian, more suitableperhaps for those days than ours. 10th CON.

In the Far East, and in India also, this cloth, which is as soft as the softest down, fine as the finest silk, and 'stronger and tougher than the best eembrie, is very extensively used, be- ing from its strength and finenese pe- culiarly Atted for clothing during the hot season. But, out of Asia this itaportant textile is only seen, and that but seldom. The material of it is surprising in view of the contempt usually given to the plant—outside China. Little in known, however, of many of the fabrics popular among millions in distant parts of the old and new worlds. Among numerous others, for instance, for many years the material from which the so-ealled Manila handkerchiefs are made puzzled everyone, and wiseacres refused to believe that its basis is' fibre. In England, experts declined to accept it as the fibre of the pineapple, be- cause efforts to manufacture the fab- ric had not proved successful! But pineapple fibre 'this fabric is. The grass cloth of China, that fine, silky tiSsue, is the produce of a net- tle—the "Boehmevla (Urtica) nivea" —which is much cultivated, eitpecial- hy in cen,tral China, for textile pur- poses. The delicacy to the touch, and for strength and beauty, the grass eloth of the Chinese competes easily with their best silks, while the price of it is astonishingly low. • In, these dais of research toward the •advancement of -commerce the "Urticacae," or nettle family, appears to have been overlooked. Yet its various commercial qualities- have been long known, and the nettle is infinitely easier to cultivate than flax or cotton. Some sixty years ago, be- fore the Impetus pf the epoch -mark- ing show ln the Crystal Palace has frittered out, the Irish Flax Improve- ment Society, Belfast, took in hand propagation of the "Boehmeria," But that a weed such as the nettle Is of account in commence (outside China) has yet to be established, although the common nettle has been long known to yield trete its stem a strong fibre from which a kind of hemp is produced, here, ,.. When West Europeans clad them- selves in skins and Britons daubed themselves with clay and colors, this gossamer fabric was in use among the Chilies°. Directions tor 'growing the nettle, obtaining its fibres, and weaving them into cloth, are laid down explicity in the high prehistoric • `Imperial Treatise of Chinese Agri- culture." RIVALS MARY'S TnI.MB. Lady In England Fla,s Sheep That Never Ate Grass. A grown sheep that never ate grass is almost as much of an anomaly as a cow that never tasted hay. Yet, such a sheep is said to exist in Worcester- shire, England. A visitor in the home -of a lady named Hochkiss, was astounded to see a long-tailed black sheep curled up asleep on the hearth, Observing hie •astonished look, Mrs, Hochkiss remarked in an uncork, eerned manner—"That is my pet, and was given me when it was quite a little limb. .1 brought it up on the bottle, and used to take it out in my arms as ladies carry dogs. It has become one of the family now, and 1 should feel it very ninon if 1 bad to part with it." • Asked what the animal hived on •now, she replied, "I feed 11 on dog biscuits and scraps of bread. it has ne'v'er had grass in her life. "The sheep takes exercise itt the yard attaohed to the house and bae become thoroughly domesticated, and comes to me whonever1 eall, When I go shopping I look the door and often leave my pet by the fireplace.
