THE GOSPEL HYMNS
 AND FANNY CROSBY


 The death of Fanny Crosby, the fa- nous blind hymn writer best known by her maiden name. has started con siderable speculation as to the real causes for the wonderful popularity of many Of her 1000 hymns.
 The critics have always passed a of these comp positions The words are and without polished graces. But they express real emotion in simple form. The great enotf0ns Of life, too. are simple and elemental. In most peoples minds they express them- selves in plain language.
 Probably the so-caIled gospel aongs to which these verses were set, had much to do with their popu- 1arity. It is true that this music had little Of what students would call life and warmth and color. But there was one thing they did have. and that was rythTr-

HE SHOULD SPEAK FIRST
Dear Miss I1ibbey:

Dear Miss Libbey:
 Am a girl nineteen. Three years ago met a, young man, kept company with him a year. Loved him and he seemed to care for me at the time. Two years ago we quarreled and parted. Haven't since spoken! He often asks my friends about me. Heard several re- marks about him. They tell me he has several bad habits Do you think 1t is true 1ove2 He never goes steadily with any other girl If he still loves me how can win him back? When we parted he swore he wouldn't speak first. Should speak to him? love him; cannot be with out him. Have not been happy since we parted. Have had several other friends; do not care for any of them. I'm always wishing for him.
 H. N.
 Parting. and in anger. seems easy to do. Yes to forget and crush out the hearts fondness entirely is easier said than done, Friends often inter cede in lovers behalf. But when sweeth carts make up of their own accord their love will go on smoothly after

Modern church composers have learned to write music combining the dignity of old time music, the rhythm of the, gospel songs, and the color, life and originality Of imaginative composition But to many people the Fanny Crosby songs are SO as sorted with the struggles of life and death and joy and sorrow that the passing of the singer is a personal loss.
