GREAT HYMNS
D REV. THonAs .. GREGORY ~When the Mists Have Cleared Ava,

-when the NIists Have Cleared Away"
 The story of this uplifting and in- spiring hymn is best told in the very words of the man who sang 1t for the first time to the air which he com posed as his fingers moved over the organ keys-
 Says Ira D. Sankey, II sang the hymn for the first time in the Free Trade hall in Manchester. England, in 1883, at one of Mir. Moody's meet ings.
 "The service was held at o'clock on a gloomy winter morning.
 .-The hall wsa densely crowded and could scarcely be discerned at the fur ther end of the hall.
 ''I felt the need of something that would brighten up the meeting. and then and there I decided to launch the new song.'
 It was received with great enthusi- asm and immediately became a uni versal favori3e.
 The words were written in a moment was so filled with mist that the people of deep mental distress by Miss Annie Herbert of Birmingham, and somehow found their way into print. Mir. Sankey saw them by sheer chance as he was turning over the pages Of an English newspaper. The lines went straight to the heart and he re- solved that he would sing them if the opportunity ever came.
 The opportunity came on that dark, misty morning at the Manchester meeting, the gifted singer improvising the tune as he went along
 It is no wonder that there arc those who believe in special providences," |" for the whole story looks as though the Great Father had a hand in the making of the precious song. The light that broke through the gloom of the writer's soul and it's almost perfect expression in her lines, the chance glimpse of them by Sankey, and the wonderful singers powers to i'm provise just the right air for them, would look like one of the most real and beautiful of special providences." :"

Not Weakening, Not Weakening
 Judge Says

Movies. washing machines. motor rars, dancing and jazz have been blamed long enough for breaking ties that hold the American family together.
 So says Judge Thomas F. Graham. San Francisco's divorce judge. who for twenty years has reviewed the sad pa rade of men and women who have made a dismal failure of romance. Not because of those luxuries and conven- fences, but for lack of them, men and women who once loyed each other are taking separate paths through life.
 -Modern marriages are not failing" Judge Graham said the other day to a San Francisco Chronicle reporter. When folks spring that on me it makes me weary. They are just as last ing today as ever, and as many happy couples are going down the long lane of life hand in hand as in the past.
 -Rare Gases In Court
 "Just because a few do not make a go of it we can not proclaim the entire marriage institution unsuecessful. It is the rare case that comes into the di- vorce courts. despite the fact that di- vorces are growing more common.
 They say there's too much enter tainment, and people go to the movies too much Well, let them. It's harmless amusement, and for . nominal amount papa. mana and the children can all see a good show. and see it together.
 -Is that disintegrating home influ- ence? Is that something pernicious that leads father, mother and the babies astray!
 'tOf course not There they are with one another taking their pleasures as family group. What could be a more stabiliEing factor:
 ''Of course. folks live in apartment houses. Who wouldn't. when they get all sanitary eonveniences, steam heat. hot water and other service that makes household tasks less troublesome and wearing: And who wouldn't when you consider that there are not homes enough to % around in this America of ours, which has grown so rapidly in the last decade:
 More Time For Family
 To say that too many modern inn provements and luxuries breed unrest and a loosening of the marriage bond IS equally untrue Wives and mothers in apartment houses. where a few of the more menial talks of housekeeping are done for them, have more time to devote to their husbands and babies they have greater leisure to read and study, improve their minds and learn to be greater helpmates and wiser mothers.
 "A fig for all this condemnation of the woman who does not build her own fire, carry her own wood and draw her own water from the courtyard well. She's happier, healthier wife and mother because she has been relieved of these onerous tasks
 As to photographs. motor cars and other modern things, Judge Graham has his ideas on those points, also. and they do not agree with the ideas of reformers who hold such inven- tions responsible in part for shattered homes.

 What man today with that dire re-' sponsibility facing him would ever ac. cept the presidency of a college? To de- termine a students academic standing 2 is hard enough, but to pass upon his social status is far more exacting, American Review. "
 This custom of placing students, in force at Harvard from the beinninS,.i and later adopted by Yale at it's founs dation in 1700, apparently originated at the former college, for foreign unt~ versailles did not make use of this sys- tenn, although Ebenezer Baldwin sayDn the Yale statutes were chiefly modelled

 It was virtually the parents whos were placed" for the sons ranking depended upon the fathers position At first, according to the late Frank lin B. Dexter, family pedigree was very important, but later there was gradual change in this respect. Wealth, too, was consideration, while the fathers business or profession and his public offices were vital factors. |

 They practiced the formidable brev- ity of Scripture. What they said could seldom be said in fewer words. And what they said could seldom be said in other words. If their language was not infal1ible, it was curiously in evitable. Their yea was yea, their nay was nay, and nothing was superfluous.
 With our twin students the rule was to read the best, and they thought it, first, and the rest as they had Oppor- tunity. And many books, like Napo- Icons letters, were sufficiently dealt with by mere delay. It is quite pos sible to read too widely.

 "He's an awfully nice fellow, just the same," ventured, MT. Jarr, A
 "He can't look you straight in the face and I'm always suspicious of that sort of people, Mrs. Jarr retorted.
 "Oh, pshaw.' said MT. Jarr. Poor Cote has q very red nose-not that he drinks any bootlegger booze at all, but from nervous dyspepsia"
 Mrs. Jarr sniffled loudly.
 "Yes, nervous dyspepsia" continued MT. Jarr warmly. And he is so sen- sitive about his nose that if he thinks you're looking at. it he turns his glance away. Fact is, as was going to tell you, he stopped in the office and is so anxious that you and should call to see him and his wife"
 "Away uptown?" cried Mrs. Jarr. q wouldn't go to away uptown on the outskirts to see my own sister, much less that woman, Mrs. Cote, and her red-nosed husband!"
 "Why, don't you think Mrs. Gote's nice wonfan?" asked MT. Jarr. You're very unkind to talk that way of her. Her husband is a good friend of mine, too. He belongs to my lodge, and he's the only man I know who'd lend me money if l need it, and that's why you roast him
