Hymns You Ought to Know
o, WORSHIP THE KING.
BY Sir Robert Grant.

(While the circumstances of the COM
position of this hymn are not definitely
known it was probably written in India
about 1896. From that land it has
lourneysd into all others and is now a
universal favorite in all church services.
When sung to the tune Lyons" it makes
an appropriate and inspiring opening
hymn. Its author, Sir Robert Grant,
born in England, 1885, was a Scotch
Episcopalian. lie became member of
Parliament for Inverness and later a
Privy Councillor. In 1885 he was ap-
pointed Governor of Bombay. His
literary activity, which resulted in sew
erai books, including two on India, and
a number OF good hymns, belongs to this
period. He died at Dapporie, India,
July 9, 1881
o, worship the King all glorious above,
And gratefully sing hfs wonderful love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of
days,
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with
praise.
0, tell of his might, and sing Of his
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy
space;
His chariots of wrath the deep thunder
clouds form,
And dark is his path on the wings of
the storm.
Thy bountiful care, what tongue can
recite?
1t breathes in the air; it shines in the
light;
1t streams from the hills: it descends to
the plain;
And sweetly distills in the dew and the
rain.
Frail children of dust, and feeble as
frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail !;
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to
the end,
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and
Friend!
O, measureless Might, Ineffable Love,
While angels delight to hymn Thee
above.

their lays,
With true alteration shall lisp to Thy

THE WHISPER.
Freddie Writes Composition on Whs-
perins.

Freddie Writes "Compo,ition'' on Whis.
perins.
ga whisper is something said with
your weentsy-teentsy voice. Hardly
anybody except school teacher can
hear a whisper. But a teacher can
most always hear one! Sometimes,
when you whisper so little that you
can't even hear it your own self, the
teacher hears it, and you get wolloped
for it.
"a whisper is the same thing beside
a big loud word that asleep is beside
awake, or night is beside day, or like
the moon beside the sun; it looks like
30 cents.
"Secrets are always told in whis-
pers. But the next day the person
who heard the secret tells it to every
body what ought'n't to hear it in a
loud voice. That's the strongest evi.
dcnce againt whisper.
/" Nobody what is mad at you eves
tells it in whispers. A whisper is the
private property of friends. Blu. there's
an exception to this rule. When you
are showing off before company who
are at your house your ma comes and
whispers to you on the sly that she'll
attend to your case after you have got
in bed; or, maybe, your papa whispers
for you to leave the room at once or
sooner. These kind of whispers never
tickle the ear as i. receives them.
"a good, kind whisper is one that
comes from your chum, telling you
there's to be baseball game on Satur-
day afternoon out at the edge OF town,
and that you can 80 out along with
him and lay on your stummick and
peep under the fence. Another whis.
per that like is when another chum
whispers aud tells yon to come round
behind the barn and get bite often
his apple.
"After all, though, a whisper aint't
like nothing else in the English Ian.
guage."

A Barberous Proceeding.

After hanging his coat, collar and
hat on a hook, he approached the
only vacant chair in the barber's shop.
His step was deliberate, his manner
quiet but positive. Before sitting
down he turned and confronted the
waiting knight of the razor. His
cold gray eye sought the questioning
orb OF the disciple of strop and steel,
and held it staring.
Certainly, certainly, sir!" replied
the barber, fidgeting with the towel.
" Take the chair"
"Just moment. You will ask me
if want a shampoo. do not want q
shampoo"
"But-"
"Don't interrupt me. All this trash
does no more good than cold water"
He waived his arm at the row OF bot
ties on the shelf before the mirror.
The barber was drawing iu a long
breath.
"I do not want my hair singed"
d." the barber began. A long,
uplifted finger behind the cold gray
eye bade him pause. He paused.
II do not want it dyedp
"You-"
"Stop! 1 shave myself, and 1 dc
not want to buy a razor"
The barber was breathing hard.
"And it is q beautiful day. Now
unless you think of something you
may cut my hair"
And the man climbed into the chair
and read the display advertising iu
peace. LUE VERNON.

"Not many men know how to buy

Gated is the business that even we 60

"Now, how many people know the
