CHOOSE HYMN
OF THE MONTH
National Federation of Music
Clubs Choose Hymn For
This Month
ORIGIN OF HYMN

The Hymn of the Month chosen
by the Church Music Department
of the National Federation of Mus
ic Clubs for December is 81 Heard
the Bells on Christmas Day." The
author of the words of this hymn
was Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,
a great American 18th century
poet. He was born at Portland,
Maine and became professor Of
Modern Languages at Harvard
University. There is a memorial to
him in the Poets Corner in West
minister Abbey, London. His hymn
was written for Christmas Day,
1858 during the height of the Civil
War. Both sides had lost heavily
IN the fratucidal strife and the
poet bowed his head and thought,
There is no peace" But Long
fellow bring poet and a seer,
could forsee peace in the end and
moved toward the climax of the
hymn in the last stanza.
The hymn tune, Waltham, by
John Baptiste Calkin, organist and
c1soirmaster at st. Colombo's Col
aege, Ireland, and afterwards pro-
fessor at the Guildhall School of
Music and of the Croydon Conser-
yatory, is the one most often used
for this hymn. 1t is also used for
the hymn, Filing Out the Banner,
Let 1t FloA." Another effective
tune to which IT Heard the Bells
mn Christmas Day" is sung is
Manner, composed by Joseph
Manner, an Alsatian minister and
composer.
i Heard the Bells ON
Christmas Day
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words
repeat
OF peace on earth, good will to
men.
And thought how, as the day had
come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken
song
OF peace on earth, good will to
men.
Smyrna times., 1950-12-07

And in despair I bowed my head,
There is no peace on earth," I
said,
For hate is strong and mocks the
song
Of peace on earth, good will to
men,"
Then pealed the bells more loud
and deep
God is not dead, nor doth He
sleep,
The wrong shall fail, the right
prevail
With peace on earth, good win to
men"
Till ringing, swinging on it's way
The world revolves from night to
day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
OF peace on earth, good will to
men.
Amen.

there were good many operators
and good many banks that went
broke in those years and the banks
were as much to blame as any one.
Sand that's why say the funda-
mental principles of financing live
stock are the same in these times as
In any other"
Three Factors
The amount an operator can at
ford to borrow depends upon three
things, Mr.. Gait emphasized: The
operator himself, his facilities and
the type of loan required.
Naturally, the first consideration
u the ability of the operator himself.
The more successful experience and
training he has had in livestock
management the more surely he can
undertake a project on borrowed
capital
And the kind of place he has to
run his livestock is important. His
buildings and equipment, his winter
and summer feed resources, his wa
ter supply-all these, of course, de-
termine the amount and type of live
stock he may be presumed to handle
successfully.
Finally, the loan should preferably
be one that can be iquidated in a
brief time. The project should be of
such nature that the revenue in
one season can reasonably be ex-
pected to retire from one-third to
one-half the loan. Just how the loan
can be repaid should be definitely
planned when it is made and the
schedule should be maintained.
And there are your livestock fl
nancing principles for these or any
other times.
They are sound, and, as Mr.. Gait
stresses, it's by holding to such
sound principles in bad as well az
good times that lending agency
renders its greatest service to the
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1950-08-01

Of Activity

While no inductions have been
made through Local Draft Board

Fourteen men were sent for
physicals on July 20 and fourteen
more will be sent August 3. Only
about forty percent of these men
will pass their physical examina-
tons and be drafted, according to
Mrs. Ertter. At present all men
are being taken from the "a to rs

1t is important that the Local

Ertter again warns all men who
have reached eighteen that reg
istration must be made within five
days of the eighteenth birthday or
be subject to fine.
