His piece, "Eternal God, Whose Power Upholds," was adjudg- ed the best of more than 1,000 hymns submitted, is copyrighted by the so- ciety and reads as follows: "Eternal God, whose power upholds Both flower and fllaming star, To whom there is no here nor there, No time, no fear, nor far, No alien race, no foreign shore, No child unsought, unknown, O send us forth, Thy prophets true, To make all lands Thine own! "O God of love, whose spirit wakes In every human breast. Whom love, and love alone, know, In whom all hearts find rest. Help us to spread Thy gracious reign Till greed and hate shall cease, And kindness dwell in human hearts, And all the earth find peace! "O God of truth, whom science seeks And reverent souls adore, Who lightest every earnest mind Of every clime and shore, Dispel the gloom of error's night, Of ignorance and fear, Until true wisdom from above «Shall make life's pathway clear! "0 God of beauty, oft revealed a dreams of human art, In holiness of heart, Teach us to ban all ugliness" That blinds our eyes to Thee. Till all shall. know the loveliness Of lives made fair and free. "0: God of righteousness and grace, Seen in the Christ, Thy Son, Whose life and death reveal Thy face 'whom Thy will was done, can Inspire Thy heralds of good news To live Thy life divine, Till Christ be formed in all mankind And every land is Thine!" The Government of Alberta is spending a total of more than $5,- 000,000 on highways this year, in- cluding the completion of the highways to the Peace River dis- teigt and Jasper Park, _.. _.. ! : (From The Toronto Globe) Our memory can be a treasure- house or a charnel-house, It can be think about, or with disasters and tragedies that we wish we could for- et. It can be a reproach or a bless- ing. To'the Christian, the true be- liever in Christ as one's personal Sa- viour, the exercise of memory offers unique blessings, An incident has been published in Christian journals that illusrates this. 'A visitor in the home of a wealthy friend was surprised - to disce hanging upon the wall of his host's edroom a somewhat faded, watei. discolored life-preserver. He asked for an explanation. 'That isn't an or- dinary life-preserver to me,' explain- ed his host, 'It kept me afloat ten hours after the steamer on which I had embarked had been sent' to the bottom of the ocean by a submarine. I keep it where I can see it the last thing at night and the first thing in the morning. It helps to keep me thankful and appreciative.'" One can well understand the saved man's desire to keep his life-preserver as a priceless memento, and to have it always in sight as a reminder of what he had to be thankful for. But if that is true of physical life, which can last but a few years at the most, and if one has grateful memories of an inert object like a life-preserver of cork and canvas, what should be the Christian's = remembrance of Christ and attitude toward Him? The Scriptures are filled with ans- wers to the question. The inspired psalmist sings his answer, over and over again, throughout that great song book of praise and thanksgiv- ing. "I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my moutk," sang David; then he gives his reason: "I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and deliver- ed me from all my fears This poor man cried, and. the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles." : The Prophet Jonah had memories of this sort. In spite of his coward- ly defection from the will of God, and his temporary unbelief, he was, nevertheless, at heart a believer and he had a great deliverance to look back upon all his life--indeed, through all eternity he will remember it, and he must be praising God for it today. He tells us of his memory. "For Thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all Thy billows and Thy waves passed over me....The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head....yet hast Thou brought up my life from er| ory filled with riches that we love to|Lord blackness; an the time, must have the door forever upon light: and happiness, w from his Lord nied Him with also a m er wrote, man be the * 1. pe? . Jesus Christ, which according to Hi abundant mercy hath begotten again unto a living hope by. the res- urrection of Jesus Christ from. the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and' that fadeth not away." What Christ has done for the Christian is infinitely greater, more blessed, more wonderful than any- thing that even the most devoted and consecrated Christian can ever do for Christ, The memory of God's grace in our behalf must outshine the mem- ory of any works we may do in His strength and power, The Lord Jesus Christ taught this lesson to the Sev- enty whom He commissioned, as be- lievers, to work great miracles in His Name as His, representatives going before Him to prepare the way for His coming, They came back later, andl reported with joy: "Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy Name." The Lord must have surprised them by His answer." He reiterated the power and authority "over all the power of the enemy' that He gave them; then He said: "Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in Heaven." Salvation, then, is put higher than service. And why not?' Is not God's work for us greater than any work, we can do for Him? It is humbling to man's pride, but it keeps things in their right order. "For by gracc are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." The Christian has a glorious' mem- ory of the time when the Son of God saved him, and it is the fore. glor- ious because of what God 'assures us. He, from that time on, will not re- member, 'Here is His word. of salva- tion: "I, even I, am He that blot- teth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins." "1 will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin mo more." The Permanence of Good (From The Christian Science Monitor) Like a mighty river, peace, com- fort, strength, and abiding joy flow from the sacred pages of Holy Writ. Therein. are found, assurance, confi- dence, and understanding. By revela- tion and experience the ancient writ- ers were convinced of the perman- ence of good, of the power of right- eousness, and of the unfailing opera- tell of the strength of the hills, of the city that hath foundations, of sure mercies, of the God of all com- fort, of peaceable habitations, sure dwellings, quiet resting places, of peace that passes all 'understanding, of perpetual possessions, durable riches, of faith that removes moun- tains, of life eternal, and of ever- lasting love. tion of spiritual law. Their writings] g Each age sees discoveries, inven- tions, explorations; the breaking up of established systems; the rise and fait "of "dynasties and 'governments; and amid seeming dissolution man- kind needs spiritual discernment, which alone brings to light the real, permanent, and harmonious facts of God's spiritual creation, As one gains this understanding he should keep his aze: fixed on the: great facts of spir- itual Life, with its eternal harmony, order, beauty, and immutability. Amid the confusion arising from the crumbling of worn-out systems and theories, peace and assurance may be experienced by those who ¢on- stantly replenish thought with Truth, and have human consciousness en- lightened with permanent ideas of: divine Mind.

ROBERT McHARDY Toronto. -- i ---------- a ------ FINDS RELIGION VALUES IN CHANTS AND CHORALES "Religious Versus Secular Music" was the theme of a lecture illustrated with the piano, by Professor John P. Marshall, of Boston university, at a religious: conference in. New Eng- land recently. Professor Marshall contrasted sacred music with secular, and said, that the fact that it was used in church does not make music sacred. He played a number of pass- ages to illustrate, among them a light theme from the Stabat Mater. for anything but religious music. The other parts were added, and for sev- eral centuries composers vie with each other in introducing as many parts as possible. : With the. Protestant reformation came a religion which required new music, and Luther introduced congre- gational singing, arranging metrical hymns in' German whi¢h drew thous- ands to the churches" In this way the Lutheran chorale was establish- ed as the legitimate music for the Protestant churches. These, Profes- sor Marshall said, are remarkable for their devotion and dignity. of Orono, Dr. and Mrs. F. Heatlle, Indiana, Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Pas- coe, Columbus, Mr. and Mrs, H.
