Anniversary of Old Song
"Sweet BY and By Was Written a
Years Ago by DR.. s. Fillmore
Bennett in Illinois.
Tins n
: By Rev ThOs. B. Oregon

2 T was forty-nine years ago today
that DR.. S. Fillmore Bennett wrote
4 his immortal hymn. The Sweet By
and By"
Bennett was a practising physician
in Richmond, Ill, and at the same
time ran a drug store. He also taught
music and composed musical works.
His associate in the latter business was
one Joseph p. Webster, man much
given to melancholy and general de-
preston of spirits. He was always
imagining that some friend had
spoken TO him ''coOlly," and then
dropped into the blues about II.
Bennett understood his friends ma
ture perfectly. and one day when Web
ster came into the store feeling IN
usually melancholy he said TO him,
What's the matter, Webster All.
replied Webster, nothing much. 1t
will be all right by and by
That is So said Bennett, and why
wouldn't it be a good subject for a
song-By and By With that the doc
tor snatched up piece of paper and
went to writing, and within Is or 20
minutes he handed Webster the paper
with the words of the song all written
out
There's a land that is fairier than day,
And by faith we can see it affair." etc.
There" said Bennett, as he handed
his friend the paper. Write a tune
for that Webster looked it carefully
over. and turning to a man named
Bright, who worked in the stole, said
to him Hand me my fiddle over the
counter, please" The fiddle was handed
to him and he went to work at once
to make a. tune In less than half an
hour" says Bennett. Webster and
were singing together the words and
music We liked, them very much, and
were singing our song on and on all
the rest of the day. Toward evening""
Bennett continues, Uncle Crosby, as
We called him, came into the store and
we sang to him He was deeply af-
fected by it, and when it was ended
the spirit of prophecy came over him
and he said. with tears in his eyes.
That piece is iTnmOrtalr7
And Uncle Crosby" was right. The
song will live forever, or. at any rate,
as long as humanity endures on this
earth, for while men and women live
below the stars they will continue
dreaming and singing of the Sweet By
and By" with its land that is fairer
than day"
