HOW FINE HYMN WAS WRITER
Onward, Christian Soldiers Com.
posed for School Festival.

Probably a greater hymn never had
more humble origin than Onward.
Christian Soldiers" which is one OF
the most popular Of our modern
hymns. In the October Delineator
Allan Sutherland writes:
"A great school festival was to be
held in . Yorkshire village on Whit
Monday, 1865, and the scholars of Hor
bury Bridge school, over which the
Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould was curate,
were invited TO attend. As the place
of the celebration was some distance
away, the minister thought it would
be an excellent plan 10 have his scho!.
ars march to the singing Of an appro-
pirate and stirring hymn. Fortunate,
~ for our hymnology, he could find
nothing in his song hooks suitable
for such an occasion, so from sheer
necessity he sat down on the Saturday
evening preceding the celebration and
composed this great professional
hymn, little dreaming that he had pro
Luced that which would be worldwide
in its usefulness and make his name
household word. Bariug-Gould, a
minister of the Church Of England. is
tn authority on many subjects, and is
, yoluminous writer, having published
iearly one hundred volumes. In TWEEN.
y years, between 1870 and 1890, he
issued no less than forty-three books,
sixteen of which were novels. During
the next six years he published seven.
teen novels. A number of his works
have passed down through several edi
lions. This suggests the poet Thomas
Gray, who was also man of vast
learning, not only in literature. but in
all the arts and sciences of his day,
and although he left writings enough
70 form, with his life, book of four
volumes, edited by Edmund Gosse,
1t is by his one poem, ''Elegy Written
in a Country Churchyard," that he
will be ever remembered. This may
also prove true of Baring-Gould. The
few lines hurriedly composed on a
Saturday evening as marching song
for band of little children will doubt
less give his name greater fame than
all the books he has ever written.

why do they walk on tiptoe?" said
a patron.
The proprietor smilingly answered:
"Ill tell you why, and the reason is

Those men are stained glass work
ers imported from Paris for my new
stained glass department and they
walk on tiptoe because they have
worked SO much in churches and
cathedrals that the gait has become
hGbitual with them.
Practically all their working hours
have been spent in the repairing of
the magnificent old painted windows
of the churches of Europe. Since
these churches are always open, since
services are always going on in them,
work must be conducted quietly and
all walking must be done on the toes.

the abandonment of heavy, rich stuff
and the use of Grape-Nuts food. fol

Whatever may he the experience
of others, the beneficial effects of the
change were apparent in my case al
most Immediately. My stomach,
which had rejected other food for so
Ions, took to Grape-Nuts most kindly;
in day or two my headache was
