homage in its love for her immortal
hymn, Nearer, My God, to Thee, ="
writes Clifford Howard in the Febru-

written in 1840, and had subsequently
been set to music by Eliza Flowler,
and included in a collection of hymns
written and composed by the two sis

book of Hymns and Anthems been
published, and the hymn that was
destined to inspire the world had then
been heard but once or twice, and
within the walls of a single church

''It was not, however, until after the
year 1860, when the present we'll.

Lowell Mason, of New York, that the
hymn attained its widespread popular.

Both my mother and / can see now
as we look back that she was too anx-
ious that we should always do right in
every small detail; she tried too hard
to shield us from the consequences OF
our own ignorance and persistency.
1t would have been better, think, il
she had given us a little more liberty
even to make mistakes, and let the
pain or humiliation, which would be
sure to follow, be our best teacher

If ever there was a time when We
needed to think of what we can have
without money, it is now. We think
so much about money. We talk so
much about money. We say we can
do nothing without money. That is
not so. We can be saints without
money; we can have peace of con
cience, peace with God. Joy in God,
we can have heaven without money
