Stiresof Bemous Hymns Ev Horace B. Powell JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high! Hide me, O my Savior, hide, Till the storm of life is past, Safe into the haven guide, Oh, receive my soul at last, Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on thee; Leave, oh, leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me; All my trust on thee is stayed, All my help from thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of thy wing. Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, . Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just. and holy is thy name, I am all unrighteousness; al False and full of sin I am, 4M Thou art full of truth and grace. ; Plenteous grace with thee is found, B17) DE ZS I TPE PRY CL, AK) Charles Wesley wrote thousands of hymns but if his fame were to pst on 'Jesus, Lover Of My Soul", would still be secure. 'I would w.ather have written that hymn of Wesley's," said Henry Ward Beech. er, "than to have the fame of all the kings that ever sat on the earth, It is more glorious. It has more power. I would rather be the author of that hymn than to hold the power of the richest man in New York. He will die . . . but that hymn will go on singing until the last trump brings forth the angel band, and then, I think, it will mount up on some lip to the very presence of God." "Jesus, Lover Of My Soul" was written in 1740 and first appeared two years later in a collection of - And Sacred Poems', Sev- eral explanations of its origin have been offered but all lack substan- tiation. One writer suggests that Wesley wrote at least part of his masterpiece after surviving a peril- ous ocean crossing, while return- ing from America to England, in 17368. Another story declares that the inspiration for the hymn came one day while Wesley was resting in his study, perplexed by spiritual problems. Suddenly, through the study window, half ajar, flew a tiny bird with a.hawk in swift and close pursuit. Exhausted by the chase, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within; Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of thee; Spring thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. the bird flew into the bosom of the /poet's coat and nestled there. The great hymn writer, it is said, thought of how men and women, in time of sorrow and distress, fly similarly to God for protection and PAGM comfort and he wrote: "Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly". How often, as heaven beckons, 7A Christians lean on the comfort- TI Rev Wa 2rd laden stanzas of this grand old hymn and go out singing to their eternal rest! A summer visitor in Philadelphia is authority for the following story: "On an intensely warm day, as I street waiting for a car to take me to the cool retreats of Fairmount Park, I heard a low, voice singing with inexpressible sweetness. 'Jesus, Lover Of My Soul.' Looking up to an open win- dow, whence the sound came, I saw on the sill a half-withered plant -- a pathetic oasis of green in a desert of brick and mortar -- and resting tenderly and caress- ingly upon it was an emaciated hand. I could not see the person to whom the voice and hand be- longed, but that was unnecessary -- the stogy was all tdo clearly re- vealed: I" knew that within that close, uncomfortable room a hu- man soul was struggling with the great problem of life and death and was slowly but surely reaching its solution. I knew that in spite of her lowly surroundings her life was going out serenely and triumphant- ly. I shall never forget the brave, pathetic pleading in that frail voice as these words were borne to me on the oppressive air: "Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, oh, leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me!" SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON THE REIGN OF DAVID By NEWMAN CAMPBELL JERUSALEM is now, years after the events of this les- ron, one of the most interesting {les of the world and still one of the most discussed. It is, prob- ably in international relations, one of the most important. The old city, 'which is called the Walled City, the city of Solomon, David and our Lord, also o f the Cru- saders, is largely populated by Arabs, and held by the Arab Legion. The sacred places of the three great religions--the Church of the Holy Sepulchre of the Christians, the Mosque of Omar of the Moslems, and the Wailing Wall of the Jews are there. The new city, consisting of modern schools, apartment build- ings, shops and hospitals, is. west and north of the old city. It is now the capital of Israel and out of a population of 150,000, there are 120,000 Jews. David's task was to undertake the organization of the whole 12 es and to bring Israel under kin sovereign head. He could not do that until Jerusalem was con- quered. It was held by the Jebu- , who evidently tiougtt the ; was impregnable, so ey 1 the lame and the blind be- ae. in derision of this would- be conqueror, and said, "He can- come into the house." oe are not told, jo bile is this episode, just how the place was pvercome, but so it was, and David dwelt in the stronghold and salled it the City of David. David had promised the com- mand of the army to the man ho would successfully lead the jack, and Joab was the man. " «And David waxed greater and ter; for Jenoyah, the God of m." hosts, was with . David had his faults. He was not a perfect man, but he was RO 1, like Saul, and he was ways close to Jehovah and did ways as he was commanded. So 'David waxed greater and reater, and Hiram, king of Tyre, nt cedar trees and carpenters p him and they built him a house. Probably the Israelites were not ifted in building. It is refresh- ng, after so much war and vio- nce, to find this unfriendly co- eration of two great nations. ® The old enemies of the He- prews, the Philistines, were well ware of Davids growing trerigth and decided once again ko try to conquer this upstart J..c, @s they doubtless thought pf them. David's military vic- opries are next summarized. David, as always, consulted the 11 of God, and by His help de- leated the Philistines. The Moa~ 3,000 bite army came next. David had at one time taken refuge with the Moabites and had entrusted his father and mother to the king of Moab. Legend has it that this king put David's parents to death, and that this was the origin of the war against them. David doubtless had strong provocation against them. He subdued the Moabites and they brought tribute to their conqueror. "David also smote Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates." And David took "a thousand chariots and 700 horsemen, and 20,000 footmen; and David houghed (ham - strung) all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots." Next the Syrians came to suc- cor Hadadezer, and 20,000 of their men were slain. "Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts; And the Lord preserved David whither- soever he went." "And Daviu reigned over all Israel: and David executed judg- ment and justice unto all his peo- ple." Just ohe more episode in our long lesson, and we must close. David had never forgotten his great friend, Saul's son, Jonathan. He began to wonder if by chance there was one of Saul's family yet living, that he might show him kindness for Jonathan's sake. A servant of Baul's house told him that Saul's grandson, Jona- than's son, was living. David sent Wor him. His name was Mephibo- sheth, and he was lame in both feet. He fell at David's feet when he was brought into the king's presence. David gave him land and servants to till it and made him permanent guest at the king's table. 235 Passengers On Excursion To North WINNIPEG -- The 16th' annual all-expense tour over Canadian Na- tional lines left here late last week port, with 235 passengers from many parts of Canada and the United States.

EIGHTH ARMY, there is a farmer who never will forget this day. He was plowing a field when his ox stepped on a mine. The ox was blown to bits, the farmer scratched on the chest. Allied troops took him to a nearby hospital for treatment. A little iodine and some bandage patched. him up nicely, and he Sifered to help around the hospital ent. He got sleepy, lay down on a stretcher inside this tent, and soon was fast asleep. A helicopter landed to pick up a wounded soldier marine. and fly him to a hospital ship at Inchon. Medics picked up the first stretcher and lashed it to the outside of the helicopter. The farmer awakened high in the air, His beloved earth lay sev- eral thousand feet below. Only a thin piece of canvas held him aloft. On the ground at Inchon, the farmer made his plight understood -- between gasps. The pilot flew him back, this time inside the helicopter. The farmer trudged slowly back to his field, still shaking his head. Classified Ads are sure to pay -- Phone The Times with yours today. Korea (AP)--Somewhere in Korea! ~ thine heart: WAIT ON THE LORD We are too hurried. An old gentleman was commenting on the manner of courtship in the old days as contrasted with the present. He said that years ago when a young man came courting in the evening [ne sat with the young lady in the parlor. Time was measured by the deliberate strokes of a grandfather clock, the long pendulum of which seemed to say, 'There is plenty of time, there is plenty of time." Modern clocks, he said, with shog}- er pendulums, tick, "Time to get busy, time to get busy, time to get busy." In this frantic age we must take time to pray, "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31. To wait upon the Lord embodies the ideas of faith and hope. As we thus wait upon him our strength is renewed. Then we can soar above the clouds to where the sun is shining. There we see life in | its proper perspective. We can run without weariness. Waiting on God doesn't induce laziness. It gives {us zest and enthusiasm for the | struggles of life. We can walk with. |out fainting. This'is not an anti- Iclimax. More strength is needed {for the steady ploddihg to carry through an enterprise. The spirit ,of enthusiasm too often wanes af- ter the beginning. ® "Wait on the Lord: be of ,good courage, and he shall strengthen Lord." Ps. 27:14. | By R.
