Wife Should Treat Servant

exactly how to 90 IL.

HYMN STORY
| WOULD NOT LIVE ALWAY
BY Mrs, f. c. Hatcher

The Rev. w. A. Muhlenberg
wrote this hymn out of a heart
Of sympathy and Christian ex.
penience. The hymn was written
when he was in his early twcnt-
les. Though the hymn is express.
I'd in words of melancholy and
the tune is weird it still serves
Va mission. There is something
in the hymn that fastens itself in
to human hearts. At one time
DR.. Muhlenberg tried to alter his
hymn to a more cheerful tune.
but it had its mission and is still
serving its purpose. Hence, the
author was forced to accept its
fame as it stood.
William Augustus Muhlenberg
was born in Philadelphia, Pa,
Sept. 16, 1906 He was the grand
son of DR.. Henry M. Muhlenberg
founder of the Lutheran Church
in America. He served as Rector
of st. James Church, Lancaster,
Pa, Here he interested himself
in the improvement of Ecclesiasti-
cal hymnody. After a noble life
as promoter of Religious Educa-
ton and Christian Union, he died
in April 8, 1877 in st. Luke's hos -.
rital, N. Y.
The tune was composed by Geo
Kingsley in 1888, entitled Fred
erick". 1t was first issued as
,l,ect music, later it became popu-
lar and found its way into the
hymnals. Several editors and COM
posers have tried to revise the
tune of Kingley's, however it was
in vain as the words and melody
had found their way into the
hearts of men and had an appeal
ing fancy.
