A ; 4 J 2 -- \ RTE "JESUS, THE VERY THOUGHT OF THEE. The author of this fine hymn, who became known throughout the @ "hristian world as Bernard of "lairvaux, was the son of a French knight, and was born in 1091, As a child he is sald to have been beautiful in face and form, and gracious in manners. His home wae his father's castle In Burgundy, and a very mising career opened up before the boy, who was led, partly by of his mother's, to be- oh monk in 1113. He induced his uncle*and two of his brothers to enter the monastry with "him. His exceptional gifts soon made him a great power, and in 1115 he was gent forth to found a new monastry, and became the Abbot of Clairvaux. He had been educated in Paris, and besides he possessed such great matural gifts that he soon made his influence felt in the religious and political affalrs of Burope. For more than thirty years he was the personal power that directed bellef, quieted ' turbulence, and arbitrated disputes. . Kings, and even popes. sought his counsel. In 1146 Bernard preached the second crusade for the capture of Jerusalem. He threw himself with great passion into the movement, and it was his great eloquence "FAVORITE HYMNS AND THEIR WRITERS ByFievArcherUallace 8 which enlisted In this most unfor- tunate enterprise the religious peo- ple of France and Germany. A vast horde set forth im 1147, but not a tenth of them ever reached Pales- tine. Those who at last did so, broken and discouraged, were easily defeated, and the expedition was a miserable failure. Bernard = was blamed for the disaster, and he died In 1153, at the age of sixty- three -- a weary and disappoinfed man.' Many of the hymms attributed to Bernard are not known positively to have been his, but they coincide with so much of his acknowledged works in prose that there seems to be little doubt about théir author- ship. The hymn "Jesus the very thought of Thee," which is oftn called "The Name of Jesus," was probably written about 1150, @dur- ing Bernhard"s retirement aftsr the crusade. It consisted of forty-two stanzas, of five lines h, and 15 undoubtedly the most famous hymn of the Middle Ages. In the Latin the hymn has bécome 'a veritable mine for beautiful translations, 'but the finest and best known is that by Edward Caswell, a Roman Cath- ollie clergyman of England. The hymn is found in practica'ly all hymnals, and the five stanzas gen- erally sung, are famfilar to Chris- tian believers the world over.

London, Dee. 14--Despite \the ever increasing problem* hom to handle the traffic of the Metropolis there is a highway in London which, so far as human passengers are com- cerned, is totally neglected, It is many years since passenger boats ran on the Thames. - They were very popular in their time, but the last three years of their bperation re- sulted in a loss of nearly £170,000. Sir Samuel Instone has brought for- ward a scheme for the revival of this form of traffic. The London County Council' was abked to pro- vide landing stages, and Sir Samuel proposed to put into commission 25 steamers with a capacity for carry- ing 300 passengers apiece. The County Council, however, pro- fessing itself anxious to help In re- Heving traffic congestion does not feel itself justified in accepting the heavy financial risk involved, In view of the results of previous unm- dertakings of this character. The | penses hunt the various kinds and become very valuable to their masters. A walk of from twenty to forty miles is a daily occurrence. with these hearty chaps, heavily loaded with traps, fon, ete, Traps play an important part in provis- to trap the wary animals, ohly hunters understand. ~d which tion of the London traffic problem lay in making still further railways underground, and promised govern- ment support as 'far as possible. bi .T. P. O'Connor, Father of the House of Commons, is still very ae- tive with his pen. One of his great- est literary "stand-bys'" is the pre- paration well in advance of obituary notices of celebrities for one of the London dallies. When the Great Reaper calls for anybody of note in the political, literary, or theatrical {ife of England, it is as certain that a column or more sketch of that celebrity's life and works "By T. P. O'Connor" will be served up for the public edification next morning. Ad- mirable articles they are, too, for T: P. has known most everybody in Great Britain and much farther afield who has been worth knowing during the last forty years or more. At a dinner the other night T, P. made some humorous allusion to this branch of his energies. It was curious, he sajd, that In writing such a biography he invariably assured the man an additional five or tem years of life. Speaking of the relations between the Mother Country and the Domin- fons, Mr. O'Connor said that when he was in Vancouver he was very much struck by the remark of the editor of a paper who said: "You want our, interest and support, but what trouble do you 'take to in these things? We never hear any- thing from you exeept in very sparse telegrams. All the néws we get of the Mother Country comes from press agencies in the Unfted States." "When in the United States . he searches the American papers in vain for the main topics of interest here. But had he wanted to know the domestic affairs, the quarrels and reconcilliations and divorces fn any great family, especially if it had any American element, he would have found more in the New York papers in one daz.than in the Lom- don papers in 25 years." nnn detiinien.
