WHY ONE HYMN WAS WRITTEN.
1t Commemorated n Pathetic Incident
in DIR. Fawcett's Life.

1t Commem grated n Pathetic Incident
in DIR. Fawcett's Life.
A pathetic and yet charming story is
told of the origin of the well-known hymn,
"Blest be the tie that binds" which was
written by Rev. John Fawcett, an Eng
lish Baptist, who died in 1917, having
spent nearly sixty years in the ministry.
1t was in 1772, after few years spent in
pastoral work, that he was called to Lon
don to succeed the Rev. Dr. Gill. His
farewell sermon had been preached near
Moinsgate, in Yorkshire; six or seven
wagons stood loaded with his furniture
and goods, and all was ready for depart
ure. #.
But his loving people were heart broken :;
men, women and childen gathered ana
chung about him and his family with sad
and fearful faces. Finally, overwhelmen
with the sorrow of those they we're leav-
ing, DR.. FawCett and his wife sat down on
one OF the packing-cases and gave way 10
grief.
"Oh. john" cried Mrs Fawcett at last,
II cannot bear this! l know not how to
go!
Nor do either" returned her husband,
"and we will not go. The wagons shall be
unloaded and everything put in its old
place.
His people were filed with intense ioy
and gratitude at this determination. Dr.
Fawcett at once sent u letter to London
explaining the case, and then resolutely
returned to his work on q salary of less
than 5000 year.
The hymn was written to commemorate
the event.-Youth's Companion.

EXPLANATION.

The arrow flies with the wind The top figures
81 station indicate maximum tenn perature for the
days: those underneath H. II any, the amount Of
rainfall Of melted snow in inches and hundredths,
during the past twelve hours Isobars, solid
lines, connect po!n of equal air pressure; so-
therms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The
word 'hi0h" means high barometric pressure and
is usually accomDanied by fair weather: dow"
refers TO low pressure. and is usually preceded
and accompanied bv cloudy weather and rains.
Lows" usually first appear on the Washington
coast When the pressure is high in this interior
and low along the coast, and the isobars extend
north and south along the coast, rain is probable
but when the ''low'- is inclosed with isobars OF
marked curvature, rain south OF Oregon is improb
able. With high" in the vicinity of Idaho, and
the pressure falling TO the California coast warmer
weather may be expected in summer and colder
weather in winter. The of these conditions
