GOODNESS.
Our mistake is in supnoSing
that some men are good and
others bad" and that sharp
line can be drawn between them.
The truth is that every man has
both qualities in him. and in
very few does the evil oyerbal-
ance the good.-Paul Leicester

There are some few men in
the world-I thank God for it
who bear their value on their
countenance, who stand unmis-
takably for qualities which COM
mand respect and admiration

such men and to wonder where
we have seen them before. In
reality, we recognize the virtues
they represent-Winston Church

SONG.
As by the shore at break of day
A vanquished chief, expiring. lay
Upon the sands with broken
sword
He traced his farewell co the

And there the last unfinished
word
He dying wrote was liberty!
At night sea bird shrieked the

OF him who thus for freedom
fell.
The words he wrote ere evening
came
Were covered by the sounding
sea.
So pass away the cause and
name
OF him who dies for liberty!

dire straits, his trust in Gods un-

known as "Neumark." At one
time the tune was 80 popular that
over four hundred hymns are said
to have been written for it in one
hundred years.
There are several English trans
lations of Neumark's greatest
hymn. The version used in most
hymnals begins:
If thou but suffer God to guide thee,
And hope in him thro' all thy ways,
He'll give thee strength, whate'er be-
tide three,
And bear thee through the evil days.

A Song that Turned the Tide.

1t was cold winter day in the
year4pf 1858 In a little, bare attic
roomSin the city of Hamburg
pale young man looked out of the
window upon the few shivering
passers-by. II must do it, he
sighed, with tender look at the
violin in his hand. "One must
have food; there is no other way.
For ten years thou hast been my
companion and comfort" he ad
dressed the instrument. "When |
was lowspirited and in trouble thou
didst always sing back to me
song of cheer. Many times thou
hast brought me food also. Now
thyself must GO to buy me bread. "
The violin had indeed been
Georg Neumark's greatest friend.
The music-Ioving Germans had
delighted to pay to listen to it's
music, but the terrible Thirty
Years War had left the city i'm
poverished and a long illness had
exhausted the musicians resources
and strength. Out Into the cold
blast he carried the instrument,
straight into the nearest pawn
shop. "Sometime the good God
will let me get it back again" he
assured himself, as he received the
pitifu] sum the proprietor offered
him. It seemed like bartering his
own life for coin. With tender
hands he caught mp the instrument
once more, played lovingly few
strains. and in rich voice, though
weakened by illness and privation,
sang:
Leave God to order all thy ways,
And hope in him whate'er betide;
Thou'lt find in him, in the evil days,
Thine all sufficient strength and guide.
Who trusts in Gods unchanging love
Rnilds on the rock that naught can move.
Only thy restless heart keep still,
And wait in cheerful hope, content
To take whatever his gracious will,
His all discerning love hath sent;
Nor doubt our inward wants are known
To him who chose us for his own.
The city itemizer. (Water Valley, Miss.) 1894-1918, 1913-06-26


And now art freed from all deceit,
He comes to thee all unaware,
And makes thee own his loving care.
Sing, pray, and swerve not from his ways;
But do thine own part faithfully,
Trust his rich promises of grace,
So shall they be fulfilled in thee.
God never yet forsook in need
The soul that trusted him indeed.
Overcome by emotion, he laid
the violin aside and rushed blindly
out of the shop, to stumble against
man who had been listening in
the doorway. Il beg your pardon"
he stammered, and would have
passed on.
But the stranger detained him.
"Where can [ get copy of that
hymn?" he demanded. Il will
give a gold piece for it,
Il will give it to you with pleas
ure, if.you care for it, Neumark
replied.
"Then come with me-" the stran-
ger urged, "and l will give you
pen and paper to write it,"
The man led the way to the
home of the Swedish Am bassador,
godly man and a lover of good
hymns and muisc. There Neu-
mark told his story. His face, his
manners, and his education so
pleased the am mbassador that he
was given lucrative employment in
the household.
With his first money Neumark
redeemed his beloved violin, called
his eighbors into the poor room
that had sheltered him in his pow
erty, and played for them the hymn
that had brought him such good
| fortune.
"Did you make that hymn all
yourself, Georg?' they asked won
deringly.
II was but the voice." he re-
piled; "God taught it to me. In
all my poverty and trouble the
words, who trusts in Gods un-
changing love- lay like a great
sweetness-burden on my heart. l
