Sacred Songs That Have Helped
Eph. 5:t5-2o; Col. 3:15-17.

In our songs we are to speak one
to another; we are not to think sell
fishly of ourselves.
IL hymn Is to help us or any one
else. 1t must come from deeper than
the lips, 1t must make melody In our
hearts.
The more OF Gods grace we have
In our hearts. the more helpfulness
will there be upon our lips. whatever
we say or sing.
II our singing Is to be "ln the name
OF the Lord, 1t must not only be In a
religious meeting, but in a religious
spirit.
Suggestive Thoughts.
A hymn will help you most II you
make 1t help some one else.
A hymn should not be sung at all
unless 1t is part of the worship.
Often we sing merely the tune. not
the words. Try reading the words
over carefully In concert before the
hymn Is sung.
The more you know OF the history
OF hymns, the more history will they
make in your own lives.
Hymns and Hymn-Writers.
Probably the greatest Of all hymns

a century and quarter ago. and
more helpful now than ever in it's long
history. ITO the thoughts suggested
in that song we may run as to a
strong tower, and are safe"
Just as | am" was written by
Charlotte Elliott, an invalid and
very brilliant woman. Moody called
1t the most helpful of hymns.
There Is a green hill far away"
was written by Mrs. G. F. Alexander,
a most devoted worker among the
poor.
Miss Havergal knew Greek and He
brew, and wrote poems in German as
easily as English. 81 gave my life
for thee" she thought so inferior
that she threw it into the fire; but
1t fell out again.
Mr.. Sankey was attracted by "The
ninety and nine." and cut the poem
from a newspaper. At the close OF
an impressive sermon by Moody on
the Good Shepherd. Sankey sung the
now famous hymn, hastily improvising
the music.
Nearer my God, to Thee" takes on
fresh meaning as we learn that its
author, Sarah Flower Adams, sung 1t
with almost her last breath.
H. G.. Spafford was a lawyer who
lost all his possessions in a panic,
and henceforth devoted himself to re-
ligion. He wrote when peace like a
river" on hearing that his four
daughters had been drowned and his
wife left a hopeless invalid from the
shock.
The Service Of Song.
Plan some special musical feature
for each meeting.
The society might well assist, in
a body, the musical service of the
mid-week church prayer meeting and
the Sunday-evening service

they do not believe us to have any
Jther side and we shrink from disap-
pointing them, and from losing their
good opinion. A child has not learned
to look for deceit or unkindness or
double dealing. Therefore grown peo-
pie who think at all are more careful

knows no standard but the simple

woman seems to have retained that
unspoiled confidence in the best side

Sacred Songs That Have Helped.
Eph. 5. 1920; Col. 8. 15.17.

From the beginning the Christian
church has been a singing church be-
cause it has been happy, joyful
church. Singing and service have al
ways been closely joined. No pant
of the public service is worthier of
more attention than is this. No bet
ter means of supplementing the stu
dy of the Bible can be found than to
study the hymns of the church. Com
NIT to memory the hymns. They will
be solace in many dark and try
ing hour
Music is the oldest and most natur-
al of fine arts. 1t began with the
first lullaby" of the first mother. In
the ancient Jewish church song had
its prominent part and place. In the
apostolic church it was evidence.
Down through all the centuries it
has been the service of song as much
as of the sermon that has been hon
ored of God. Nearly as many souls
have been sung into the kingdom as
have been preached in. Look mo-
ment at the matter of hymn and
song.
1. The Christian Hymn Is the
Highest Expression of Experience.
Charles Wesley's hymns are largely
Geographic. Charlotte Elliott's Just
as | am" is the expression of an ex-
perience into which she had just
come. Cowper's personal history is
written in his God moves in mys-
terious way" Fanny Crosby has put
her life into the hymns she wrote.
When ordinary words fail song gives
expression to the deeper emotions Of
the soul.
q The Hymn is a Means of Great
Influence. Souls have been convert
ed. wanderers reclaimed, and hearts
uplifted more often by the singing Of
some hymn than by any other way.
Instances are numerous where the
singing of well-known and familiar
hymns has been attended by remark
able results. On great occasions the
hymn is the best expressions of the
thought of the service.
3. The Hymn Is an Expression OF
Doctrine. 1t has often been said that
the hymnology of Methodism was
her standard of doctrine. More than
In our books of theology are found
In our hymns our best expressions OF
doctrine and belief. The insurance
of a common hymnal for the church
es North and South will be COM
mon bond that will keep unified our
doctrine and be constant compeller

MO CROSS. NO CROWN ~

! sometimes think when life seems drear.
When gloom and darkness gather here,
when Hopes bright star forsakes my
skies,
And sorrow Ger my pathway lies,
II would be sweet-it would be best.
To fold my tired hands and rest;
But then, God sends an angel down,
Who :, whispers oft-'"No Cross, No
Last night 1 heard the river moan
With sad and melancholy tone;
1 saw its waters glancing free
And dashing onward to the sea.
/ would have plunged beneath its tide,
And on its friendly bosom died,
Who whispered still--"No Cross, No
Crown!"
Then | turned from the river shore,
10 seek the lonely world once more,
With aching heart and burning head,
To battle for crust of bread
But Hunger came who knew me well,
And fainting by the way / fell,
But still the angel fluttered down,
And, weeping, said-"No Gross, No
Crownl"
"No Cross, No Crown" As standing
there,
The cross. too heavy seemed to bear;
And for the crown--I could not see
That it was ever meant for me-
The words | could not understand
Even while | clasped the angels hand;
But still he looked with pity down.
And still he said-'No Cross, No Crown!"
Back to the world turned again,
To court life's joys, to bear its pain;
But all the sweetness that it gave,
/ followed, weeping, to the gravel
And from the cold and quiet sod
! lifted my pale hands to God.
And saw the angel coming down,
And in his hands a golden crown!
Then did laugh at earthly loss,
And, kneeling, lifted up the cross
Though all that once made life so sweet
Slept meath the lilies at my feet
A radiance from the realms of light
Flashed for moment on my sight,
"A still, small voice" came huttering down.
The cross had then become the crown!
