Charles Wesley Seven Thousand Hymns

from place to place upon his duties
in the church In those days graphite
pencils and flowing pens were I'M
known, and he wrote with a piece of
soft lead he always carried with him
on any old scrap of paper. He lived
to be 80 years of age, and was born
in 1908.
The hymns of DR.. Watts come next
in number to those of Charles Wes-
ley, namely, 697, but they mostly APP
pealed to children, although never for
gotten in later years.
The fact is that Wesley commenced
writing his sacred hymns at the age
of 30
The Methodist hymn book in this
country, as we'll as the Wesleyan
hymn book in England, being so re-
plete with the hymns of Charles Yves
ley is accounted for by the fact that
both Charles and his brother John
were clergymen of the Church of
England, but John, taking exception
to some part of the ritual of that
church, went out to preach to the
muItitudes, and after he had organ
lied what his followers called the
Wesleyan church his brother Charles
Joined him and wrote the hymns, to
which were added the favorite hymns
of other sacred writer's.

soNeBlRDs IN BERMUDAs.
Impression That They Are Tuneless
lie a Mistake.


There is a general impression that
there are no song birds in the Bermu-
das," said Frank A. Meade of Los An
geles Il spent an autumn there, and
can give few facts about some of the
native birds. The native birds of Ber-
muda are the red bird Cardinals pu-
bra), bluebird, knocking bird, ground
dove, kingfisher and chick OF the vii
lage. The redbird's song is between
a MARBLE and a shrill whistle. The
chick of the village reminds one Of the
English wren It's sprightly note may
be heard at intervals through the
year. The melody of the blue and
hooking birds are too familiar in Wis
consin to need introduction. About
fifty kinds of birds, including mi
grants, have been observed. The mi
grant birds leave the coast of Ameri-
ca early in the autumn in large fiocks
to seek southern ATTITUDES, and stop
at islands on the way to rest. The
most frequent visitors are golden
plover, sandpipers, snipes, owls and
eagles. Milwaukee Free Press.

And He Had the Stick.

A Duluth laborer who is something
of a character in his way was sent
out the other day to dig ditch from
a street curb to a certain point in the
yard. He was given rule two feet
long to measure the distance. At the
close of the day he reported to his
superior.
Did you dig the ditch, Jimmy?'
the latter inquired.
81 did," replied Jimmy.
How long was it?' he was asked.
"The length of the rule, the length
of the pick, the length of two bricks
and the length of stick answered
Jimmy, proudly.
"Have you the stick?" asked the

Founder of Church Indefatigab
in His Sacred Writings-Co
menced at the Age of Twenty
nine

Wonder is always expressed and
doubts arise when the statement is
made that the Rev. Charles Wesley, a
clergyman of the Church of England,
actually wrote seven thousand hymns
during his lifetime. This statement is
verified by the publication over his
own signature of thirty-nine books of
poetry, sacred and secular. 1t is doubt
full if there exists a hymn book adopt
ed by any religious denomination
which does not contain several of his
sacred songs.
Thomas Moore wrote very few sa-
cred songs, but of these few one
stands out pre-eminent and will be
sung till time be no more by the peo-
pie of this whole earth. This song,
that always reaches the heart, is
Come, Ye Disconsolate, found in al
most every hymn book and never ac-
credited to the author.
The Rev. Charles Wesley must
have been writing hymns all his life,
and it is recorded of him that he
wrote on horseback while travelling

has in development. She undertakes,
in consideration of substantial sum.
to supervise weddings and relieve the
brides family of all the responsible
ties involved on such occasions, thuS
insuring them from nervous break

ton of the house to the bridal trous
seau is intrusted to her care, nor does
the bride-tO-be have to worry about
even the packing Of her trunks, for
the wedding director sees that every
thing is put carefully in her trunks
and a complete inventory is taken in
a little book, SO that every article may
he easily located. Now that weddings
are to be made easy, there no longer
will be any excuse for bride to look

With its wine bottle drained and it's

With its pledges all broken, It's hopes that

Its moments of gladness, it's aeons of
pain

Tis only gray ashes that never may burn,
And you with your chains that are rivet-

STRONGER THAN MEAT.
A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.

~
A gentleman who has acquired a
judicial turn. of mind from experience
on the bench out in the Sunf1Ower
State, writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape-NLts
as food He says:
For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
THE crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indispensa-
BILE necessity in my family's everyday
life.
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich AMI
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps US all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive OF
disease it is beyond value. have been
particularly impressed by the benef-
cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully
las to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience is that one small dish Of
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound Of
meat for breakfast, which is an I'M
portant consideration for anyone. It
satisfies the appetite and Strengthens
the power of resisting fatigue, wn,le
its use involves none of the disagree
able consequences that sometimes fol-

Box at Home.
He had been at his lodge and it
was early in the morning before he
returned. He was not strictly sober,
maybe, but he had sense enough to go
to the ice box His wife heard him
lift the lid of the box and let it fall
with a bang against the wall. She
fancied him cropping about for the ham
mer and pick to break off a piece of
the lump when suddenly the sound Of
a bombardment came to her ears.
Next morning she arose and went to
the ice box and opened it to see what
could have been the matter the night
before. There she beheld a wreck.

taken the hammer and pick, and in the
darkness had mistaken six beer bottles
