Andrew Hart, in Edinburg, and laid
the foundation OF the psalm0dy OF the
Protestant churches of the woEld. The
words OF thls psalter contained first
thirty-seven psalms written by Stern
hold and Hopkins, the remainder being
written by ten of the refugees atGeneYa.
william Keith, from Aberdeen, wrote
the Hundredth Psalm. This psalter
words and music, was for some time
universally used by the Protestant
churches Of England and Scotland.
When Oliver Cromwell got the West
minister General Assembly OF DiviRes
to prepare q new version Of the psalms
in common metre, for the use of the
churches, the Parliament sanctioned it,
the English Churcn at once adopted it,
but the Scottish people rebelisd on the
ground that they had already better
psalter OF their own. Cromwell
had to come to q compromise
with the hardy Scots. (The only
other compromise he ever made in his
lite was with Cameron, Of Lochisl, when
he and his army got bewildered in the
wilds of Lochaber). This compromise
was that in Scotland q number of their
favorite psalms from the old psalter
might be published as second editions.
This was done, and the music was thus
called "old"-the Old First, Old Forty
fourth, Old Hundredth, Old Hundredth
and Thirty-fourth, Old Hundred and

OLD HUNDRED.

The History Of this Most Ancient Psalm Tune
This unique psalm tune first appeared
in John Calvin's "French Psalter," pub.
lished at Geneva in 1913, as the '.propel
tune" to the 134th Psalm. Guilleanme
Franc was mus ical editor of this work
He was q master in music, yet all thai
will be found in ordinary musical his
tory regarding him is that he was an
"obscure musician of SMasbourg of the
sixteenth century" The Church owes
him not few OF her finest melodies.
A melody in Luthers great psalter,
published from 1924 10 1860, seems to
have suggested the ideas OF this iniInit-
able choral. = ~
One of Luther's hymns of eight un-
equal lines, which was set to a melody Of
the Moravian or Waldensian Church,
contains the elements OF the Old Hun
dredth. But these were reset and re.
modelled by Franc, who left Strasbourg
and became "canteur," or precentor to
Theodore Beza, at Lausanne. He sub
sequently settled and died at Geneva,
leaving as his imperishable monument
the music of the "French Psalter."
The music was afterward adapted to
the Hundredth Psalm in the first '.En-
glish Psalter" ever published, edited by
john Calvin, and printed for the use OF
the congregation of English-speaking
refugees at Geneva in 1856, of which at
that time John Knox was minister. The
musical editor OF the psalter was Claude
Goudimel, of Rome, who suffered martyr.
dom at Lyons at the time o. the massa-
ere OF st. Bartholomew because he had
set the English psalms to music. This

A new and amusing cure for love has
lately been found effective in fashion
able Partisan quarter. The son Of q
wealthy nobleman became enamored oil
his fathers chambermaid, and de-
termined to marry her. TAe aristocratic c
papa opposed, but moved at last by the
despair OF his son, gave his consent, with
the provision tAat the smitten youth
should 60 to sea twelve months
before the marriage. Shortly after
his departure, the father, who
had previously observed stout
ness and fatness in the young in
tended, took her under his special
charge, gave her the NEST nourishing
food and wines. forbade her to take ex-
ercise as unbecoming i'll his future
daughter, and in tact, stalled her to
such an extent that when the enamored
swain returned from his years voyage
he was horritied to find instead OF the
slender, elegant girl he left, an immense
fat woman, large enough to put in mu-
scum. Or course the ruse was success
lul, and the unfortunate victim Of good
cheer has been pensioned off.
