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

The Hymn of the Month chosen
for September by the Church Mus
ic Department of the National
Federation of Music Clubs is God
of Our Fathers, Whose Almighty
Hand" The words of this hymn
were written in 1876 by the Rev
Daniel c. Roberts, an Episcopal
clergyman, for the celebration of
the Centennial Fourth of July held
at Brandon, Vermont. The hymn
was first sung to the tune Russian
Hymn. 1t found its way into the
hymnals purely on the merits of
its poetry, without any undue in
fiuence of the authors name or a
catchy" tune to carry it.
The words have a peculiar ap-
propriateness for national anniver-
saries. The first stanza is a beau
tiful dedication to God with an in
timation of the majesty Of His
power. In the second stanza
there is expressed gratitude for
the past, thankfulness for the
present and confidence for the fu-
ture. In the third stanza there is
a plea for peace which places due
Importance on religion in the ma
tional life, and emphasizes trust in
God as the surest national defense.
The fourth stanza looks forward
to a never-ending day filled with
love and divine grace.
The tune, National Hymn, was
composed by George w. Warren,
an organist at st. Thomas Church,

Several lengthy scrimmage ses=
sions this week put the new at
tack to a combat test, and Murray
expressed satisfaction with the
results.
Prior to the opening of practice,
the Delaware staff had been con-
cerned with the ability of the Hen
quarterbacks to master the new
attack, but both Frank Guthridge
and Bill Shockley appear capable
of filling the tough job of directing
the new offense. Much of the load
fell on Shockley late in the week
as Guthridge sat on the sidelines
with an injured shoulder muscle.
Charley Smith, the ranking
quarterback of last year who has
been shifted to a halfback spot
this fall, appears to be set at his
new position. Smith, a husky
Philadelphia boy who runs hard
and passes well, might develop in
TO one of the big weapons on the
Delaware team this fall.
The development of backfield
talent has been offset, however, by
problems on the line. The tackle
spots still represent Joe Brunan-
sky's biggest headache up front,
and they've been the weak spots
in the scrimmages to date. The
staff expects to put plenty of time
and effort into the development of
talent before the opener against
Lehigh on September 23rd.

IN THE February issue of tho Readers Digest there is con densation of the best seller called "The Road Ahead" in which the writer, John T. Flynn, voices 8 warning to the citizens of the United States on the treacherous road we have been following po- litically.
 It is belated warning to all of us, It is as important to us here in the Valley as to anyone, to know these facts and to do something about them right now. What hurts is the fact that prac- tically all of us are guilty of aid ing nthe growth of this political monster. But the fact remains that every one O fus ca ndo a great deal ncorrecting the wrong that has already been done.
 We ca nbest do that by ques- tioning and by doing all in our power to combat all operations which come under the heading of socialistic government operations, which so often offer us benefits" in a very beguiling manner, mak- ing it very difficult to turn a deaf ear to thei rsupplications and harder still to do something about their downfall.
