',Down life's dark vale we wander,
Till Jesus comes;
:We watch, and wait, and wonder,
Till Jesus comes;
Oh, let my lamp be burning
When Jesus comes;
„mor Him my scut be yearning,
When Jesu$ comes.
Chorus.
All joy His loves ones bringing,
When Jesus comes;
All praise thro' heaven ringing
When Jesus comes;
Alt beauty bright.. -and vernal,
When Jesus conies;
..All glory, grand, eternal,
When Jesus comes.
:No more heart -pangs nor sadness,
When Jesus cornea;
:AFI ,peace, and joy, and gladness,
When Jesus comes.
All doubts and fears will vanish,
When Jesus comes;
All gloom His face will banish
When Jesus comes.
He'llknow the way was dreary,

'He'll know the feet grew weary,
When Jesus conies.
'He'Il know what griefs oppressed me,
When Jesus comes;

his revivalistic work. His book "Go -
Pel Songs," published that same year,
won immense popularity, and its sale.
was exceedingly large. With rare
generosity, P. P. Bliss, a poor man
then, gave the copyright of that book,
valued at the time at thirty -thousand
dollars to the evangelistic cause as
propagated by Major Bliss.
Two . years later, in December, 18-
76, travelling to meet one of his ap-
pointments, the train in' which he and
his wife were passengers, plunged
through a high tresle at Ashtabula,
ab ,
,
Ohio, The wreck took fire, and a
large number of its occupants ' met
terrible -deaths, P. P. Bliss escaped
unhurt, and dashed towards another
car where Mrs.. Bliss had been sitting
but was caught in the flaming ruins,
and both were killed, It was ieport-
ed that their two children had per-
ished with them, and . the dreadful
news excited the whole nation and
WINGHAM ADVANCE.TIMES
aroused intense commiseration. But,
while an immense number of people
were attending a regiem Moody and
Sankey service in Chicagb, news ar-
rived that the children had been left
at a friend's home and were safe.
It was frequently remarked at the
time of his death, how many of his
compositions anticipated death and
judgment, although, P. 1'. Bliss him-
self was of a bright and sunny dis-
position. It was as though he lived
in a perpetual Advent season, looking
for and hastening towards the coming
of his Lord and Master.
Our hymn, like the majority of
Mr. Bliss's compositions possesses no
literary merit. Nor was there ever
any attempt to claim anything of the
sort for them. Much of. their popu-
larity they owe to the catchy music
to whieh they were set, They were
designed to convey simple truths in
simple wordsto simple-minded pea -
ale, whq are In the auajority in every

This simple•little sacred song, all
.redolent of the Adk'ent season when
-the Christian wor1dl turns its thoughts
towards the second coming of our
:Lord Jesus Christ, was written by
P. P. Bliss, who in his lifetime en-
joyed a reputation as a singing evan-
gelist, second only to, Ira D, Sankey.
As a writer of evangelistic songs and
hymns, he ranks along with Francis
Van Alstyne (Fanny Crosby),- both
in the number and character of his
compositions. Possessed of .consid-
..erable musical ability he, as well set
many of his verses including those
:printed herewith to popular music.
"Hold the Fort, "Only an Armour -
:bearer," "Sing them over again to
me," "Man of Sorrows" etc., show
low well he knew the way to strike
.a popular key, and to win passage for
dais songs into the souls of his peo-
ple. Perhaps no other song -writer
.and musician combined, excepting
Mr. Sankey has so successfully ap-
tpealed to the United States public.
Philipp Bliss as he was baptized—
,afterwards clipped off the redundant
"P" and made it into a second init-
ial—was born in 1838 in the state of
Pennsylvania: He was naturally a
,musician, from his childhood, and
',early life conducted singing schools
and led in Sunday School and Church
;singing. Originally he was a Meth
:odist.
When twenty-six .years of age he
was employed by Dr. George F. Root
,.,of Chicago, well-known as a publish-
,er of sacred song and other musical
hooks and a composer of sacred mtts-
` 'lc,. to conduct musical institutes in
order to push the sale of singing
books .and other music..' It was part
,.of his duty also to set Sunday school
hymns .to music.
After- .six or seven years of this
work he ,joined they Congregational-
ists and became conductor of the
singing in the First Congregational
'Church of Chicago, and superintend
,ent of its large Sunday: School. In
that same year, 1871, was published
his well-known hymn "Ho, my corn-
..rades, see the signal:" The date is
worth noting for the impression went
abroad that this song, founded upon
;a; military message to a beleagued
Fortress'at fhe beginning of tie„`Civil
War in 'the 'States, was inspired by
it anti Written at that time in the
early '0O's.

Dissension vs. Unity
Dissension in a community, whether between merchant or
resident retards the growth of that community and places it
among the "has -beans."
UNITY makes the trade grow in the stores and proves that
all things being • equal a community is as big as the faith of its
people makes it. This is brought about through unity of thought
as well as purpose. When they believe in it sufficiently to forget
all differences you can bet dollars to doughnuts that your com-
munity is listed among the "BOOMING."
To accomplish this you must set, aside all petty feelings
you may have harbored from time to time. Think of Wingham
and its merchants, and resolve to buy in Wingham. Your mer-
chants will prove their loyalty to you, reciprocate by being loyal
to them. Remember that they are responsible for the growth of
this town. Why should they not expect your patronage, which
if given, in thefinal analysis, spells your confidence in them.
By doing this it will prove conclusively, that when mer-
chant and resident unite for the good of their town, you will find
that home trade will unite itself to all concerned. Your dollars
will remain at home and you can rest assured will directly or
indirectly come back to you.

"RED HOT SPEED"
UNITED FARMERS' CO-OPERATIVE CO., LIMITED
Realizing some years ago that co-operative marketing of
farm products would be the financial benefit of farmers, the U. F.
O. Co -Operative Co., Limited', was organized by some far-sighted
men, who took a practical interest in Wingham, where they pur-
chased the Maitland Creamery. This move has been a profitable
one for the patrons. They get the top market prices for cream,
have a steady cash market, and save an endless amount of work.
Maitland butter is eagerly sought for on the market, and the sup-
ply is only limited by the amount of cream brought in. Mr. A.
J. Wilson, local manager, has developed the business to great
extent, improving the plant with a new refrigerator system that
enables them to hold butter during weak markets.... The firm
also handles immense 'quantities of eggs, and through the pool
system . have very materially benefitted the customers with extra
dividends. The annually increasing volume of business at this
concern is the best proof 'of its success, andof the necessity oil
adopting this system of marketing of certain farm products,
