without recalling the familiar face and
form OF good old deacon long since game
to his reward. Many other hymns recall
other persons and the circumstances e0u
nected with the use OF them. Your slla
sion to adding a chorus to old hymn
brings TO my mind one illustration which
seems to me particularly sad and un-
fortunate selection. That Is the hymn be-
ginning:
"Alas and did my Saviour bleed
And did my Sovereign dies"
Ii seems too sacred to be set to a light
grade Of music.
