TEN MOST POPULAR HYMNS.

''Nearer, My God, to Thee" Pust First
by Vote of One Congregation.
An attempt was recently made in
New York church to ascertain by vote
of the congregation the ten best
hymns.
Nearer My God, to Thee led the
popular vote. There were 112 votes
cast for this hymn out of a total of
1856. abide With Me- came second,
with 107 votes; Jesus, Lover of My
Soul" third, with go votes; 81 Love to
Tell the Story came fourth, 80 votes.
Close after this came Lead Kindly
Light" "a votes. The others chosen
were: Rescue the Perishing, so
votes; Rock of Ages rs votes; son
ward, Christian Soldier 81 votes, and
What a Friend We Have in Jesus"
81 votes.
Four great hymns just failed to get
into the list, each of them receiving
more than fifty votes-'Love Divine,
All Love Excelling" "Just as I Am,
Without One Plea" Faith of Our
Fathers, Living STILL and I'm the
Cross of Christ 1 Glory"
1T was no easy task to choose
among so many favorites, yet many
were glad to attempt it, says the
Christian Advocate. "a large proper
ton of the answers were given by men
who supposedly are not interested in
the music of our services. The place
of the gospel song, the song with
chorus, is higher in the estimation of
our people than many of us have be-
lieved-indeed, than many would have
it hold.
Three of the ten chosen are releg-'
ated by many of us to the prayer
meeting or to the more fervid and in
formal after service during the season
of revival. The people would have
them in their most dignified hour of
praise. The people prefer to sing, for
example, I Love to Tell the Story
rather than oh, for a Thousand
Tongues to- Sing'-at least this vote
would so indicate.
'FWesley's great hymn that is ever
to begin our hymnal, ever to be the
first hymn in all Methodist collections
of sacred songs, had only sixteen
votes, while it's humber contestant had
50; Rescue the Perishing had more
votes than Rock of Ages and twice as
many votes as All Hail the Power of
jesus Name
Prayer is the attitude of the soul
in the first five hymns chosen-peti-
ton, not praise or personal appeal.

err, My God to Thee is the first hymn
chosen, What Friend We Have in
Jesus the last one. What would have

somewhere that DR.. Smith showed his
genius in writing My Country. 'Tis of

1.-THE power of the humble poet
whose songs gushed from his heart is
strikingly emphasized. Henry Fran
els Lyle leads Charles Wesley, and
Miss Katherine Hankey leads Cardinal
Newman. Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams
leads all of them. There is refresh
ing catholicity. A Methodist church
chooses only one of the hymns of the
Wesleys to remain in it's list of ten. A
Methodist church chooses as it's dear
est hymn one wrotten by Unitarian.
A Methodist church puts a Roman
Catholic hymn well UP toward the top
among it's favorites."

(BY WILLIAM r. ELLIs.)

If a study of this topic shall inspire
some young spirits with a new vision
of daring and conquest on behalf of
the kingdom of heaven, Joshua and
Caleb will have repeated their success
of millenniums ago. For the Chris
tianity of today sorely needs to move
out and capture new countries. Even
geographically that statement is true.
The sphere of missions is sinfully re-
stricted by the unheroic and uninlag-
NATIVE spirit of the church at home.
