ssNearer My God to Thee.''


Sarah Flower, the writer of this touch
ing hymn, was worthy of the namej for
Sarah signifies princess, and sweeter
fragrance has rarely exuded from any
flower in the garden. The gifted girl
married Mr.. William B. Adams, an Eng
ish civil engineer, of superior abilities.
She was of frail constitution, and, amid
many bodily sufferings, she kept her pen
at work upon various poetieal produc-
tions. At what time she caught the inspi-
ration to compose that one immortal hymn,
which is now sung around the globe, we
have never learned. Probably it was some
season of peculiar trial, when the bruised
spirit emitted the edor of a childlike sub
mission to a qhastening Father. 1t must
have oozed from bleeding heart. Her
hymn first appeared in a volume of sacred
lyrics by MIR. Fox, in England, about the
year 1871. The authoress did not live to
catch the fame twas to bring, for she died
in 1S49, aged twenty -four years, She was
buried near NARROW, in Essex. Presently
the hymn began to work its way into va
rious collections of songs of worship. 1t
was married to the tune of Bethany and
Everybody caught the strain. In MONDAY
gatherings for prayer it soon became SO
fapiliar that if anybody s.struck up the
hymn the whole audience Joined in.
LOUISVILLE is educating her newsboys
at the public expense.
