given to the matter of raising money
for missions. 1t is an astonishing fact
that the war in Europe seems to have
stimulated missionary giving through
out that continent. The new report of
the missionary finances for the year
ending April ]. Just published, furnish
es the statement that the Church of
England reached higher record OF
missionary giving than 1t had attained
for the past 300 years. and that in Ger
many fye of the seven missionary So
cieties gave more than the year pre-
vious.
In this country tho report shows that
the aggregate Of the American church
es contributions last year to homo
missions amounted to 865 200. GOO. and
to foreign missions SIS, ,000, 900
In several Of the denominations there
are special campaigns in progress to
raise extra missionary money during
the coming year. The Episcopal Church
has undertaken to raise $40O, 900 extra,
500. 600 OF which has already been Sc
cured
The Baptists. who made splendid
showing during last year. began with
a deficit of S27sooo. and during the
year not only paid all the current ex-
penses and wiped out It's debt. but
came out $1,000 ahead"
The Presbyterians have had an un-
precedented year in foreign missions.
The total receipts from all sources
during the nscal year closing March 81.

receipts last year exceed those of any

history. with the single exception Of
the year 1911-12. when. through the
legacy account. $s31,6 Of the J. S.
Kennedy estate was received and ap-
propriated for new property.
The work of this denomination in the

the call of foreign missions for money,

concerning the Episcopal. Baptist and

of the awakened interest of all de-

to note that in year Of unusual bust

Every religion has used music In some
form to express itself, but Christianity has
developed the musical expression of the

have inspired the poets and composers.
Modern hymns appear to be tending
toward a new point of view, the expression
Of how the individual feels, while the old
er hymns are expressions of the conscious
ness Of God This is due to the present
tendency to accentuate the personal re-
lationship to God, but it should not be
allowed to get US too far away from the
older point of view. so it is well to study
these old hymns, which express the feel

AN EVENING WITH GREAT HYMNS
mos. 4oI, 1oI and 443 in the Methodist Hymnal)
By Robert D. Burbank.

Lee, the great military genius of the
Confederacy. of Andrew Jackson, call
ed .'Old Hickory" even when President
of Theodore Roosevelt, the strenuous
reformer of our own day. and of many,
many others, both famous and un
known, is that great hymn which be-
gins thus
How Arm founda ton. ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word!
What more can He say than to you He hath
To yon for refuge to Jesus have fed?
This whole hymn is a recapitulation
of the promises of God contained in the
Bible, for the inspiration of the Chris
tian. AS the words of the first verse
indicate, all the support necessary to
overcome the enemy is to be found in
the holy Scripture. The second verse
records the promise in Deuteronomy.
1925. And as thy days, SO shall thy
strength be-" The third verse trans
lates the promise of Isaiah 41:10. Fear
thou not, for l am with thee; be not
dismayed, for 1 am thy God; I will
strengthen thee: yea, ! will help thee;
yea, l will uphold thee with the right
hand of my Righteousness" The fourth
and fifth verses paraphrase the promise
in Isaiah. 1872. When thou passest
through the waters, / will be with
thee; and through the rivers, they shall
not overflow thee; when thou walkest
through the fire. thou shalt not be
burned: neither shall the flame klndle
upon thee"
The foundation of the sixth verse is
found in Isaiah. 1914, And even to old
age ] am He, and even to hoar hairs
will carry you; ! have made, and l
Will bear: yea, l will carry, and Will
deliver" The last verse, founded on
Hebrews, 1876. is the grand climax and
reads thus:
The soul that on Jesus still leans for repose,
! will not, j will not desert to His foes.
That soul. though all hell should ehdearor 10
shake,
I'll never no never, no never forsake.
1t is not known absolutely who wrote
the words of this hymn. but the au-
thor is supposed to be either Robert
Keane. a precentor In a Baptist church
in London, or else George Keith, a
