FAMOUS GOSPEL,
SONG WRITER DEAD
AUTHOR OF ri NEED THEE EVERY
bo0H HOUR" PASSES AWAY AT
..ro EiGHTY-THREE.

BENNINGTON, Vermont, Jan 8
Mrs. Annie Sherwood Hawks, author
of many famous gospel hymns, includ-
lg 81 Need Thee Every Hour" died
1t her home here today at the age of
ighty-three.
Mrs. Hawks, who was born in Hoo
sick, N. Y. in 1885, was educated in
the public schools and in the Troy
Seminary. After her marriage to
Charles HAL Hawks, member of a New
York banking firm she lived in Brook
lyn until the death of her husband in
1888. Since then she had made her
home with her daughter in Benning,
ton, Vt
Her first hymns were written in 1868
at the suggestion of her pastor, DR..
Robert Lowcry, who set several Of
hem to music.
Not long before her death Mrs.
Hawks thus described the writing OF
1er most famous hymn:
81 remember well the morning,
many years age, when in the midst of
the daily cares of my home, | was so
illed with a sense of nearness to the
Master that, wondering how one could
i've without Him either in JOY or pain.
.hese words, 1 Need Thee Every Hour
were flashed into my mind. Seating
myself by the open window in the bal
my air of the bright June day, caught
ny pencil, and the words were soon
committed to paper, almost as they
IRE being sung now.
1T was only by accident, as it would
seem, that they were set to music a
few month later and sung for the first
time at a Sunday school convention
neld in che OF the large Western cities
From there they were taken further
West and sung by thousands of voices
before the echo came back to me"
Among other hymns of which she
was the author are: "The Cross for
asus," Good Night "Why Weepest
Thou?" Who'll be the Next to Follow
Jesus" and '1n the Valley"

 Many an American son has gone down has made the supreme sacrifice for his Coun- try and liberty Before the german horde IS driven back within its own borders, many more American sons will go down. How many, depends upon us at home.
 A small American army, no matter how brave, will inevitably suffer severe casualties. A gigantic American army will overwhelm the hun and bring quick victory with the least loss of life.
 The lives of our sons are in our hands, The boys are ready, willing and eager. They must be trained and equipped. No time must be lost. It IS up to us to provide the money necessary to make these boys invlnci- ble We must do 1t and do 1t quickly.
