Together came two souls at Heavens

Strangers to each in their transfig-
ured state.
Before them. stood the servant of the
Lord
A shining Angel with flaming sword.
Then to one trembling spirit of the
dead
The guardian Angel Of the portal said:
"Dost thou thine earthly enemies for
give?"
AYE came the answer. Quoth the
Angel, Live"
Then said the Angel to the other one:
unto this man great evil hast thou
' done.

Holy, holy, holy Lord!
Infinite Thy vast domain,
Everlasting is Thy name.

'In the second stanza, the replacing
of raising by singing robs the stanza
of two of it's rhymes. 1t is simple
justice to the. author of this splendid
and inspiring hymn, that those who
direct the music in churches and
schools should use the wording as
written in the original"
For complete and-it need not be
added scholarly history of this in
spring hymn, readers are referred to
the american Ecclesiastical Review
volumes 40, so. The article, Holy
God, We Praise Thy Name" is the
work of an eminent author, the Right

HYMN CORRECTLY WoRDED.

AS "a practical TIE Deum for cons
gregational singing in extra-liturgical
services" it is conceded that nothing
surpasses the wording of the familiar
hymn, Holy God, We Praise Thy
Name" This hymn, firsC published in
a Redemptorist mission book in 1858,
was written by Father Clarence Wal
worth, a convert to our holy Faith.
Like the words, the music is Catholic
in origin it's earliest known source,
according to pamphlet published on
the subject, is to be found in a Wen
nese hymn-book printed in the year
1880. & @E
The hymn is often sung to inaccu-
rate words-possibly typographical err
rors which depart from the original
form insomuch as to spoil the rhyme
and obstruct the continuity of thought.
These inaccuracies occur only in the
first and second stanZas, the correct
verses of which are ais follows:
Holy God, we praise Thy name!
Lord of all, we bow before Thee!
All on earth Thy sceptre claim,
All in heav'n above adore Thee;
Infinite Thy vast domain,
Everlasting is Thy reign.*
Hark! the loud celestial hymn
Angel choirs above are raising;*
Cherllbim and Seraphim,
In unceasing chorus praising,
Fill .athe heavens with sweet ac-
cord,
Holy, holy, holy Lord!
The words indicated by asteriks
frequently are misprinted to read
name" and singing" AS critic
justly observes, ''the conjunction of
two ideas, viz, Gods everlasting
reign over His infinite domain, makes
one complete logical thought and Sc
quence, and the couplet is both happy
and thoughtful; also, the lines rhyme
satisfactorily. But there is neither
sequence of thought nor any rhyme in
the couplet:

MATERIAL SHORT.
BASEBALL HURT
Minor League Conditions Will
Bring Woe to Majors
Next Season

New York, n. Y, Nov. 1.-THE
annual meeting of the National AS
sociation in Louisville appears to
have been quite bust" The end
of the conference found minor
league conditions nowise improved
from the chaos that prevailed
throughout last season and which
forced a number of the smaller
minor organization to suspend.
In the proposed plans for redis-
tribution of minor league territory,
which was voted down 8 to 2, the
great majority of the humber cir
cuts saw the possibility of light
ahead. With this hope gone there
seems little to be done in their case
but to close shop during the period
of the war at least.
1t seems doubtful, indeed, whether
the International League will at
tempt to operate next season. -Four
of the clubs are pretty thoroughly
discouraged over present conditions.
These were willing to step aside for
their conferees to join hands with
the American Association in the
contemplated amalgamation. 1T
was those Association clubs which
were to be left out in the cold that
balked the plan.
