HYMNS AND THEIR AUTHORS
FLING OUT YOUR BANNER.

Episcopal bishop of New Jersey, was
Der of hymns. His works of prose and
poetry, In four volumes, were published in
1860. This missionary hymn he tells us
was written at Riverside in 1881
Fling out the banner! Let it float
skyward and seward. high and
wide;
The sun, that lights it's shining folds,
The cross on which the Savior died
Fling out the banner Angels bend
In anxious silence DER the sign,
And vainly seek to comprehend
The wonder of the love divine.
Fling out the banner! Heather lands
Shall see from far the glorious sight.
And nations crowding to be born
Baptize their spirits in its light.
Fling out the banner! Sin sick souls.
That sink and perish in the strife,
Shall touch in faith it's radiant hem.
And spring immortal into life.
Fling out the banner! Let 1t float
Skyward and seward. high and
wide;
Our glory, only in the cross;
Our only hope, the Crucified!
Fling cut the banner! Wide and high
Seward and skyward let it shine;
Nor skill. nor might nor merit ours;
We conquer only in that sign.

ago my daughter got cake of CUT

Accountancy is not and never can

BOTTLE SEALED UP IN TREE.
Flask of Whiskey in Center of Maple
For Thirty Years.


A pint bottle filled with rare old whis-
ky, the age of which is uncertain, has
been found here, imbedded solidly in the
heart of maple tree, almost 4 feet in
diameter.

filed with liquor The cork was re-
moved and the OdOr of liquor became ap.
parent. 1t was sampled by experts, who
pronounced it whisky of a superior quail
ity.
How the bottle of whisky got into the
center of the huge maple tree is mys-
terry that even the Oldest settler is UNI
able to solve. At no place about it
was there any cavity, and counting the
rings of wood from the place where the
bottle was lodged, each one of which
represents a years growth of the tree,
it must have been there thirty years
Besides this, old settlers state that the
bottle is of the type in use from fifty
to sixty years ago. The bottle and CON
tents have been placed in the public
