A Famous Hymn.

The hymn, ':Nearer. My God,
to Thee" which President Nc
Kinley sang in his dying mo-
ments, and which was sung at
the funeral services the world
over, has an interesting history.
1t is said to be the best metri-
cal expression in modern psal-
mody Of the desire for more
intimate spiritual acquaintance
with God.
Its imagery embraces the as
sociations of one of the most
sublime and interesting religi-
Gus experiences recorded in the
early Hebrew Scriptures: Jacobs
vision at Luz. And he lighted
up a certain place." says the
Scriptures Of Jacobs wander
ings, land tarried there all night,
because the sun was set; and he
took the stones of that place and
put them for his pillow and lay
down in that place to sleep.
And he dreamed: and behold a
ladder set up on the earth. and
the top of it reached to heaven:
ard behold the angels of God
ascending and decending on it. :"
Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams,
author of the hymn, was a
daughter of Benjamin Flower,
an English writer and editor.
She was born in 1905.
In 1871 she published a drama
tic poem. in five acts, entitled
viva Perpetua," in which she
portrays the experiences of the
early martyrs.
The hymn ''Nearer my God to
to Thee" was a record Of her
own religious experience, and
was written as a memorial of
answered prayer, probably with
out any expectation that itwould
be of public service. 1t was fur
nished with 13 other hymns to
Charles Fox's collection OF
Hymns and Anthems" publish
ed in London in 1871.
