"NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE"
Hymn Written by an English Girl Who
Did Not Live to Know the
Glory of It.

AS writer, as a poet, there were
few in the literary world of London
Tin the 4Os) who had not heard of
woman to whom all Christendom to-
day pays homage in it's love for her
immortal hymn, Nearer, My God, to
Thee" writes Clifford Howard in La
dies Home Journal. It was written
in 1910, and had subsequently been
set to music by Eliza Flower, and in-
cluded in collection of hymns writ
ten and composed by the two sisters.
Only within that year had their book
of "Hymns and Anthems" been pub
lished, and the hymn that was des-
tined to inspire the world had been
heard but once or twice, and within
the walls of single church-South
Palace chapel, London.
1t was not, however, until after the
year 1860, when the present we'll
known tune was composed for it by
DR.. Lowell Mason, of New York, that
the hymn attained its widespread
popularity. Up to that time it had
attracted but little notice. Through
the spirit of DR.. Mason's sympathetic
music it was quickened into glorious
life and brought within the reach OF
every congregation and every Chris
tian soul. But this was long after the
author of the hymn had passed away.
She died in 1s4s, without knowing of
the triumph and the glory that await
ed her work.

rived. His wife, who was sick In bed,

Neglect of Gen. Fremont.

The first emancipation of the slaves,
John c. Fremont, never received any
honor or gratitude from the negro

BooksShat arc Read

States written from the pioneers point of view. The first volume is called '.The Story of Old Falmouth" and Is a de- scription of the founding of that section of Maine now known as Portland. Such books will no doubt possess a large fund of valuable information, which is not on- ly interesting to read about. but which will be stimulating and inspiring; and it is happy thought to preserve these val uable records in this tangible and def- nite way.
 We have had revival of Balzac. of George Eliot, of -Thackeray, Anthony Trollope and others, and as result of the revival and discussion we have new editions of each one respectively. Now there Is very perceptible revival of in- terest in Edgar Allen Poe. and new edi- ton of his works is promised at an early date. This is largely due also to the re- cent widespread interest in detective sto- ries, which has occasioned some new re- prints of certain of Poe's tales.
 Conan Doyle. the creator of Sherlock Holmes. has already sraciously acknowi- edged his indebtedness to Poe, and has called him not only the inventor of the detective story. but as the pre-eminent master of the short story as well.

Readers who enjoyed Charles Majors first book, "when Knighthood Was in Flower" and it is safe to say that every reader did enjoy 1t. will be glad to learn that a second book has been written by MT. Major. It bears the singular title of "The Bears of Blue River" and certain critics affirm of 1t rather facetiously that 1t is not another animal book a la seton- Thompson" On the, contrary. it Is his- toricai romance. the scene of which Is laid in the Indiana of the early twenties. The story will not be published until the au- tumn. and that Is a long while to wait, for MT. Majors readers are anxious to know if he can possibly write another such winning and delightful piece of fic- tion as When Knighthood Was in Flow er"

 George Ade. whose popular Fables in each Sunday issue of the New York Her aid are so thoroughly enjoyed, has pub lished a number of the fables in book form under the title of Fables in Slang" In his work Mir. Ade has proven himself to be a man with an extended outlook on life and a deep and intuitive knowledge of human nature. In his quaint writings there is much of the true philosophy of life, and a moral is emphasized and brought home to many a reader. In the current number of the Saturday Evening Post George Ade has contributed a very thoughtful article entitled College Men and Newspaper Work" Last week men, ton was made in these columns of the number of young college bred men at present in Journalism and drifting into a literary career. MT. Ado says: "The ease with which a young man bursts into jour nalism is only equalled by the superb ease with which he Is sent through the street door if he fails to show a quick and en- thusiastic grasp of the requirements. Many are called and few are chosen. It Is truly a survival of the fittest-not nec- essarily of the best or the brightest" He gives broad suggestive and masterly thoughts on the subject. writing as one who knows his subject thoroughly. He tells why the college student. provided he has any talent whatever for newspaper work. succeeds so well. In his article he covers many points on the subject. and says in conclusion to college men: If you feel a genuine craving for the fasci- nating toll. go into 1t only when you have become a successful reporter, and when enthusiastic friends try to spoil you by saying you are genius. do not sit

the scene of which will be laid in Flor ence. MT. Crawford works systematic ally, not spasmodically. When in New York he has room at his publishers, where he goes every morning and writes for certain number of hours He allows nothing to distract his attention. When the work of the day Is over he walks or drives, or diverts himself in any way that he likes" The writer concludes by say ing that t Is all nonsense to talk about writing when the spirit moves; the spirit may move the poet, but the prose writer gets his inspiration from his work.
 
 It Is not surprising to learn that MT. Crawford Is to write the official life of the Pope. It Is said that he has not only been collecting material for 1t for years. but has been doing the actual work of writing for some time. All the facilities offered by the Vatican archives have been placed at his disposal. It would seem that Mir. Crawford Is pre-eminently the proper person to be chosen for this work. He not only has the ability and prepara- tion necessary for such a task. but those who have heard Mir. Crawford's lecture on Pope Leo will readily agree that he is peculiarly fitted by strength of mental capacity and by temperament for the suc- cessful performance of the work.
 
 The discussion about the authorship of .an "Englishwoman's Love Letters" still goes on Mir. Laurence Housman has sol emnly denied that he is the author of them. but the denial has no power to stop the discussion. One critic with ready eye for finance is of the opinion that the author, If wise, win not reveal his name for many years to come. and facetiously adds that aside from this. the author had best beware the vengeance of tired and irritable public" He evidently thinks that the public has been kept in doubt so long that, it is now likely to say some very unpleasant things about the author should he reveal himself.
