Things Happs ned 10 be Written.

taius'' Happened 10 be written.
Some thirty or forty years ago sermons
were to be preached on a particular Sab
bath in the town of Wrexhsm, in the
north of Wslcs IN behalf of the Society
of the Propagation of the Gospel in For
eign Parts. The clerk Of the parish
church, to whom in those times belonged
the selection of the singing, came in
very disconsolste to the Vicar of the
parish and told him that there was no
hymn suitable for such subject. The
son-in-lsw of the Vicar happened TO be at
the time visiting him, and the Vicar, turn
ing TO his son-in-law, said "You are bit
of poet; you see the distress OF my
clerk, and what be has to do; | wish you
would relieve him by writing hymn for
this occasion, and we will have it struck
of and printed. Let it be of simple,
easy measure, and we will have it sung
on the Sabbath" The sou-in-law of the
Vicar retired to a corner of the room,
and in an hour and half produced q
hymn. That hymn was sent to the print
ers, sheets were struck off and distributed
in every pew, and it was sung on the
next Sabbath.
Twenty years afterwards, the same
Congregational minister of Wrexham
hunted up in the lumber-room the manu-
script of this old hymn, aud this was the
autograph which / had the pleasure Of
looking upon" Reginald Heber;" ard
the hymn was,
From GFeenland's icy mountains,
From midas coral stTand;"
g hymn which has inspired, perhaps,
more of missionary spirit in the churches
than any oiher.-ReU. ". Morley Pun

The familiar air of Bishop Heber' 6
hymn "From Greenland's Icy Noun

in 1927, By Lowell Mason, then resi-
dent of that city, who soon afterwards
published it 10 Boston, with dedication

MIR. EDrroR:-When reading in The PRESS
the report OF criminal cases before the s3upre me
Court now in session, / could but notice the
plea made by large proportion of the crimi-
mails. One stated that a person got him drunk,
and caused him TO commit the crime another
that he got drunk and broke into the house /;
and another Il at he got drunk and did not
know what he was doing; and SO on. In look
ing over the calendar of crime in our land in
search for the cause, the almost universal re-
Spouse is strong drink. The same response
comes from our work-houses and prisons.
Visit the suffering and destitute ones of our
city, and inquire the cause of all the misery
and suffering that exists. and the almost uni
versal response will be- strong drink. Let any
friend of humanity investigate the amount of
crime, suffering and misery that exists in our
city, and they will be astonished at the result
Let me ask what is the fruitful source of near
~ all OF this misery and woe. Before answer
Ing the question make a careful estimate of
the number OF places where strong drink is
sold, from the glded bar-TOom and saloon to
the low Gens which infest our city, and the
question is answered. Shall the community
stand still and witness this fruitful source OF
crime, destitution and misery and close their
ears to the loud appeals of humanity and jus-
tee, and remain iractive? Can they look up-
on our young men and realize that some of
them, were it not for this vile tempter, who is
in our midst might be bright ornaments to So
ciety, but who are Fastening down to destruc-
ton, and upon whom is stamped in an indeli-
BILE language, lost. And all this to be suffered
and eudured, that the vilest class of beings
which ever infested the earth, may be permit
ted to continue in their unhallowed traffic and
business of degrading their fellow man, and
colsigning him to an unhonored grave.
Has noe the time come when every true
friend OF humanity will arise and use every
means which God and nature have put into
their hands, to suppress this unhallowed traffic
in strong drinks? and say to this inhuman
monster, thus far hast thou come, bnt no far
