A Wonderful Hymn.
"All Hail the Power of Jesus Name.

"All Hail the Power of Jesus Name"
Edward Perronet, the author of the
most inspiring and triumphant hymn in
the English language, is a benefactor
whose history is but little known. He
was man of great humility of charac-
ter, but was sustained amid many vicis-
STUDIES Of life by an all victorious faith.
He was the son of Rev. Vincent Per-
ronet, an excellent English clergyman of
the old school, who was Vicar Of Shore
ham for fifty years. He left the estab-
lished Church in early life, and becamea
Methodist. He was bosom friend of
Rev. Charles Wesley, in whose diary
mention of him may be found, beginning
about the year 1850. He was one of the
preachers appointed under the patronage
OF the Countess of Huntingdon, and, add
ing an ardent zeal to an humble and
sympathetic nature, his labors in the
ministry were for a time attended with
marked success. But Perronet was at
heart an opponent of the union of Church
and State, and at last produced an anony-
nous poem entitled the Mitre, keen
satire on the national establishment. This
hostility brought him under the displeas-
ure of the Countess. He severed his con-
nection with her society, and became the
pastor OF a small congregation of Dis
senters, to whom he preached till his
death, which took place in January, 1892.
His death was triumphant, and is an
evidence of the sincerity of the piety
which inspired his rapturous hymn. His
majestic faith seemed to lift his soul
above the world, and to antedate that
coronation day when the cherubic hosts
and the redeemed should
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown him Lord of all"
His dying testimony was
Glory to God in the height of his divinity
Glory to God in the depth of his humanity
Glory to God in his all suficiency
Unto his hands commend my spirit"
Perronet composed number of sacred
poems and hymns, as expressions of his
own religious experiences and sentiments,
without Intending them for publication.
They were printed by the request of his
friends, in 1885, under the title of "Oc-
casioaal Verses, Moral and Sacred, pub
lished for the instruction and Amusement
of the Candidly Serious and Religious"

scrupulous integrity and candor, and oil
unaffected klndliness. We are not special
ly interested in the subject handled by
our friend We have warm side for
our Episcopal brethren, and are rather
amused than offended at their simple
minded arrogance. Not few of them
are delightful Christians, and they would
be sounder ecclesiastics if they knew more
history. They will not be helped by DR..
Waddell's article, for they will never
read it, but all the same, he has done
what he can to give them light, and at
the same time to re-exhibit to his Presby-
terrain brethren, especially US laymen, the
true state of a controversy semi-religious
and semi-social, which energies from time
to time in almost every community in
our country.
No article of the number shows more
palnstaking, thorough work, than the re-
view OF Frederick w. Robertson, by Rev
Samuel M. Smith. 1t is timely, too. In
our hurried, miscellaneous way of read.
ing the profuse literature of the day, we
are IN danger of being harmed by books
written with good intent by good men,
and IN themselves good in the main, but
containing serious error. Such Mr.. Smith
shows to be Robertson's writings Hav-
ing read some things of his, we are amazed,
alter reading this review, to find how
superficial he was as biblical scholar,
how Enthusiastically as an exegete, and
how seriously and extensively unsound
as a theologian. Mr.. Smith has done
good service by putting on their guard
the readers of this attractive and popular
writer.
Of all the articles, the one whose title
attracted US most, and the reading OF
which most interested us, is "Our Brother
IN Black" being an extended notice by
Rev. Prof. Rankin, of book bearing this
title by DR.. Haygood, a Methodist broth
er and President of Emory College, Ga
Heresies, Northumberland, prelacy, and
other mistaken theories of Church gov
eminent are serious troubles, but concern
all evangelical Christendom, and are
moreover old questions, and have been
oftentimes deliberately discussed. But
the problem of the religious culture of
the colsred population, presses with al
most its total weight upon US, and upon
its solution the lights, neither of expe-
Renee nor Investigation, have been fully
brought to bear. From what Prof. Ran
kin says, (and who more competent to
speak than he,) DIR. Haygood's volume
must be an important contribution to the
literature of this vital and exacting sub
ject. We hope our Methodist brethren
will be at pains to give it an immediate
circulation. 1t occurs to us that the sta
tistics it gives may have an important
bearing upon fundamental questions that
may arise touching Tuscaloosa Institute
In taking leave of this number of the
Presbyterian ReUielO, we would say that
the Book Notices" are as usual doubly
marvellous. Marvel No. l. That so many
new books are being issued. Marvel No.

evenings since, at party IN which
Colonel Hatch, of Hannibal, Mo, who
served in the Confederate army and
some ex-Union soldiers we're relating
war stories. The Colonel, who is now
a member Of Congress, told many a
good warn; but none that interested me
more than his description OF the gloomy
DAYS of the Confederacy during the
winter of IS63-64 He said they had
by some means gotten hold of a bundle
of Chicago papers, in one of which they
found paragraph saying that some of
the farmers on the great prairies of IL
linois had been forced to burn corn for
fuel, on account of its cheapness and
the high price of coal.
He said that the paragraph had more
interest for them at that time than all
the other contents of the papers, and it
was generally shown about and dis
cussed through the camp.
Il remember said the Colonel, how
somebody said: Whats the use OF
fighting a people who are burning corn
for fuel, while we are counting it out
by the grain?' and we pretty near all
agreed with him.
We'll, said one of the Union men,

a short furrow toward the trees. As L

lied it and marked out hills, manuring

| repeated the same cultivation. NV
trees began 70 grow very fast, and that
fall | harvested seventy bushels of
