FANNIE CROSBY

(Mrs. Frances Jane Van Alstyne)
Every school and every Sunday
school in our county and state should
hold memorial service for Fannie Cros-
by, the wonderful, blind song writer,
who died recently at the age of qinety
five years. She was a gifted poet ard
a prolific song writer, and her zoe try
and songs were all an expression OF
her religion-her great faith in cod
and his never failing love.
! She was born in New York in 1920
and became blind at the age Of SIX
weeks, caused by unskillfnl treatmen,
Of the eyes. She was educated a; the
institution for the blind in New York
city.
She wrote six thousand hya.ns. &C
cording to the Standard Encyclopedia,
many of which were published under
other names than her own, as her
publishers thoufht the public might
object to their hymn books being filled
with songs from one writer. This
seems such q pity, as the world will
never know, perhaps, quite all of her
writings
The best known of her hymns are:
Blessed Assurance, Safe in the Arms
of Jesus, Jesus Keep Ne Near the
Cross, Jesus the Waters of Life will
Give, and / Shall Know Him, or Ny
Savior First of ALL
She was intensely devout, and her
spiritual faith made her have vision
beyond our mortal eyes into the realms
of the infinite of Gods love and mercy
She believed that her life was of more
benefit to the world through blind
ness than if she could have had her
sig t; therefore she considered her af-
fiction blessing No doubt the
mind OF the blind being kept in an in
ner sanctuary, unmarried and untrOub-
led by the scees Of this world, is more
capable Of keener vision into the spir-
itual world, and can therefore sing
with greater faith and sweetness.
1t is fitting that this brief sketch
should close with one of her hymns
that expressed this vision Of the 9th
err better world:
When my life work is ended, and
cross the swelling tide,
When the bright and glorious morning
| shall see,
| shall know my Redeemer when !
reach the other side,
And hi smile will be the first to vel
come me-
Oh, the soul-thrilling rapture when
view his blessed face,
And the luster Of his kindly beaming
eye;
How full my heart will praise him for
the mercy, love and grace
That prepare for me mansion in the
sky.
Oh, the dear ones in glory, how they
beckon me to come,
And our parting at the river l recall;
To the sweet wales of Eden they will
sing my welcome home,
But | long to meet my Savior first Of
ALL
Thro' the gates to the city, in a robe
Of spotless white
He will lead me where no tears. will |
ever fall;
In the glad song Of ages shall mingle
withdelight;
But long to meet my Savior first of
all.
shall know him, shall know him,
And redeemed by his side shall stand
shall know him, l shall know him,
By the print Of the nails in his hand

E. Bell, who proposes to start jit-
ney bus line on specified routes in

An appropriation of $500 was
made to construct tarvia street on

Advance in All Directions To
Cut OFF the Russian
Retreat.
VTSTULA CROSSED AT WARSAW
Attack on FOrtreSSeS at LOvnO
and 0SSOwetz is Com
menCed.

London, Aug. 9.-The Germans
continue to advance in all directions
in the efforts to- cut off the Russian
retreat from the Polish salient. They
already are attacking the fortresses Of
Kovno and Ossowetz, obstacles they
must overcome to reach the railway
running from Warsaw through wilma
and Dvinsk to Petrograd.
They have taken the minor fort
resses of Serock, at the junction of
the Narew and the Bug, and have
crossed the Vistuls in the vicinity of
Warsaw. Further south, General
Woyrsch is advancing eastward. but
Field Marshall Mackensen is being
fought stubbornly, and apparently
is making slow progress.
! On the whole the daring scheme
mapped out by the Germans as a
grand sequel to the capture of War
saw-the destruction of the Russian
army--is unfolding itself slowly, as
must be the case from its very mag
lnitude. With three main railways,
besides those built since the war,
military circles here believe the
Grand Duke Nicholas will extricate
his Warsaw army. Events. in the
east, however, will continue to hold
the attention of the world for some
time to come.
The Germans have gained minor
successes in the Argonne forest,
where the Crown Princes army has
been trying for weeks to find weak
spot in the French defences. but their
effort to recover lost trenches on the
Lingekopf, in the Vosges, is declared
to have cost them dearly.
= There has been heavy fighting IN
the Caucasus between the Russians
and the Turks. but official reports
{ are so contradictory it is impossible
to say in whose favor it is going,

PLATFORM CONVENTION
TO BE QUIET AFFAIR
Stated That McCheSney Will
Make No Fight For Plank
FavOriBg Submission.

Frankfort, Ky, Aug. 9.-The
Democratic State platform conven-
lion, which probably will be calls d
this month, promises to be a quiet
party affair, with no fractional fric-
ton, especially over the liquor ques-
ton. 1t was ascertained today au-
thoritatively. though no one would
assume the responsibility to speak
for anyone other than himself, that
the McChesney organization will
make no fight for a plank favoring
submission of Statewide amend
ment, and so far as could be learned
there is no other question dividing
the party. The convention, it is ex-
pected, will be devoted to considera.
ton of how the party and the ticket
can put the best foot forward in the
November election campaign. 1t
seems to be tacitly agreed among
politicians of both sides that the
primary settled the liquor question
so far as the Democratic party is
concerned this year, and Mr.. Stanley
WILDE untrammeied in the matter
of committing the party on such SUBJ
jects as he considers of paramount
in the campaign.

The Spirit of
Goodwill.

The recent street car strike in Chi
cago was an illustration of how
strong personality may dominate
dangerous situation, for it was gen.
orally conceded that it was the quick
action Of Mayor Thompson and his
capable handling Of affairs, and the
fine way in which the citizens gave
him their support that prevented Sc
rious trouble.
The strike-breakers were hustled
out 20 the city almost before they
reached it, and the board of arbi-
tration cid not have this disturbing
element to enter into their discus
sions.
Many reasons were advanced by
Chicagoans as to why there were no
disturbances during the two days of
the strike, and one of these, given
By a prominent young woman physi-
clan may have been the real reason.
She said that Chicago enjoyed it,
because it was new sensation.
But there was another reason than
this, and a reason for which the citi-
zens of Chicago have cause to be
proud-there was splendid, helpful
spirit that tided over hours that
might have been hard for everyone,
but instead assumed rather the as
pect of holiday.
The people of Chicago are famed
as motor enthusiasts ard during the
strike they lent their aid in trans
porting those less fortunate to their
destination. 1t was a funny sight to
see some Of the vehicles brought into
use. public drays and furniture vans
of every description, everything, in
fact, on wheels, and it was no less
interesting to watch those who passed
in Dmousines and touring cars, for
the owners lent their cars with a fine
lack of discrimination and many fac
tory girls, clerks, stenographers and
ether working girls, who had never
known the luxury of an automobile
ride ON a June morning, leaned back
in the cars of the rich and the great,
and enjoyed their little hour of lux
ury.
1t was this splendid spirit that
dominated the hour in Chicago, and
made it a time of good will instead
of period of conflict.
There were men, doubtless in that
strike, whose daughters and sisters
rode to work in the cars of men they
had counted as their enemies, and
who, when all was thrasled out, were
found to be not enemies at all, but
just fellowmen, anxious for adjust
ment Of an unpleasant situation.
1t was the spirit of good will that
put stop to the street car strike
in Chicago. 1t is a spirit that will
help in any crisis in any city in the
world. And it has no boomerang to
come back and hit either the one side
or the other.
What Chicago did in her great
crisis other cities would do we'll to
emulate.
