Origin of Famous Hymns,

Many experiences both sweet and
bitter, have found expression anc
relief in the beautiful story of song,
and the following notice of the ORR
gin of famous hymns is taken from
the Youths Companion;
There are interesting stories con-
nected with the writing of many of
the hymns of the church. In "Fa-
vorite Hymns and Their Authors, ;"
some of the best are told. Abide
With Me" was written by Henry
Francis Lyte at Brixham, and it
was his last composition. One Sun
day evening he had hidden farewell
to his congregation, and after stroll
ing down his garden to the seashore
he returned to his study when the
sun had set, and an hour later had
written the hymn and had shown II
to his family. A few days later he
was dead.
Those who have read Newman 5
Apologize" are familiar with the
circumstances under which Lead,
Kindly Light was written. Wesley's
Christmas hymn, Hark, the Herald
Angels Sing originally written,
"Hark, How All the Welkin Rings"
is to be found in almost all hymn
mails, and has been translated into
many languages
About the other fayorite Christ
mas hymn, Christians. Awake, Sa-
lutte the Happy Morn" pretty
story is told The author, John
Byron, who lived in 1745, had ia /
vorite daughter, Dolly, for whom he (
had promised to write something /
for Christmas day. She reminded
her father of his promise, and among
her Christmas presents was an en-
yelope containing the hymn. The 1
original manuscript, headed Christ
mes Day for Dolly" is now in Cheet-
hams Hospital Manchester, and
bears evident traces of having been
carried about in Dolly's pocket. {
When Toplady wrote Rock of {
Ages" he could not have conceived q
hat it would have become so wide
" known and so popular among all
shades of religious opinion. Glad /
stone translated it into three lam
guages, and it was the hymn for +
which the prince consort asked on
his death-bed 1t was this hymn, too
that was sung when the London
went down in the Bay of Biscay, In
1866 The voices of the people
singing Rock of Ages" on the
doomed ship were the last things
heard by those who were fortunate
enough to be rescued
Jesus Lover of My Soul" is q
hymn about which many traditions
and sacred associations cling. The
story connected with its origin may
be legendary, but is no less beauti-
full. It's author, Charles Wesley, was
sitting at his desk by an open via <
dow, when a dove, pursued by a +
hawk, flew in. The bird was saved,
for the hawk feared to follow it. .
The incident inspired Wesley to
write his famous hymn.

There is always something new un-
der the sun. The latest scheme or
invention to catch rabbits mas just
reached us and it occurred during the
last snow near Siler City. man OF
this township went hunting the day
after the snow and coming to piece
of new ground found literally hun
dreds of tracks. There were DOZENS
of brush piles in the field and the
tracks. of course, all led to those
piles. A bright idea was suggested to
this hunter and he at once went
home, secured a SEEMING net and re-
turned TO the field ready for business
The long seine was placed around a
pile and the rabbits shooed out. and
by the time he had visited fifteen piles
he had more rabbits than he could
carry and then rad to discontinue MS
