correspondent of the San Diego,

blame on the son and daughter.
The authorities having him in
charge at Florence, Arizona, were
awaiting the arrival of requisition
from our Governor, when they
would start with him for Topeka.

Anecdotes of the late Vice President

-Anecu0tes OF the tate lct Ieoiuent
are multiplying on every hand. One
illustrative of his well-known kindness to
soldiers comes from Michigan. A cores
pendent of the Detroit Neacs waites that
in the winter of 1923 there was great
suffering in a camp of $4,000 convalesc-
ents near Alexandria, Va. In response
to petition to President Lincoln,
"quiet faced" man visited the camp and
examined its condition, bringing with him
two ambulanees loaded with blankets and
provisions. The quiet-iaeed man had been
making a memorandum Of one OF the
worst eases, and was just departing, when
a weak voice inquired for postage stamps.
''God bless you. yes" sand our quiet gen.
tleman, here's few and money to buy
more" \ thought seemed to strike him.
Producing his wallet, he placed in the
hands Of the sergeant in charge of each
division a crisp new $50 bill, "tor postage
stamps, remember" and turning to his
gratihed audience, he added, in his CHEEKY
way, Twill be here again, boys, Monday,
and will have different state OF things.
Monday came and with it the quiet-taced
man and board of surgeons with orders
to discharge or furlOugh every man who
was not ready for immediate active duty.
New barracks were built, and camp
"Misery Hill" ceased to exist. The quiet
faced man was Henry Wilson.

This inspiring and popular missionary
hymn was written by Bishop Heber, while
he was vet rector Of Hoduet, in Shorp.
shire, England, under the following cir
cumstanccs
In 1919 a collection for the Society for
Propagatins the Gospel had been author
lied by circular letter under the royal
seal 70 all the churches Of :hc establish
ment. The date fixed for this collection
was Whitsunday. On the eycaing Of the
same day, the Young rector had engaged
TO commence a series Of Sunday evening
lectures at WreXham, which was then 10
charge of his father-in-law, the Rev Or:
Shipman. On Saturday, As he was din
ing at the parsonage, the Dean asked bis
SOn-in-law 70 write suitable hymn for
the missionary service the next morning.
The future Bishop retired to a corner Of
the room. where he had composed three
stsnzas before be was interrupted by his
iather-in-law, who inquired what he had
written The Dean was willing 10 accept
the three stanzas, declaring them very
good, but their author mani tanned that
the sense was not complete, and in no long
time had added the fourth verse
'wAil, van ye winds hi. story" etc.
On the following day it was sung in
the church at Wrexham according to the
original intention. The original manu-
script, which is still extant, shows but a
single correction.
The history Of the tune to which this
hymn is almos; universally sung Is scarce
ly less interesting.
In 1927, Lowell Mason happened in
Savannah, Georgia, where q young lady
Of his acquaintance said TO him, on one
occasion Mr.. Mason, | have Just re-
ceiyed from friend, copy Of beautiful
hymn, but 1t is Of so singular 4 metre that
| cannot lind any tune for it, VIII you
write one for me ?' The Doctor promised
to try to oblige her. took the manuscript
10 his lodging,wrote the music irprOmptll
AMI handed both hymn ond tune to his
friend at their next meeting. The hymn
was not sung in public at Savannah dur
ing the dOctoAs stay, but it soon became
20 popular that he had it published by
Parker Of Boston.
For nearly half-century, the words of
Bishop Heber, and the music Of Doctor
Mason have beer united. They are IN
separable. The seal of inspiration IS up
on them both. They have been tried By
the test Of time, and found worthy Of per-
petuatiOn. They cannot die so long as
human hearts yearn for the time when
