Origin of a Hymn. .- A pathetic and yet charming story is told of the origin of the well known hymn, "Blest Be the Tie That Binds.; It was written by Rev. John Fawcett. an English Baptist, who died in 1S17, having spent nearly sixty years in the ministry. In 1772, after a few years spent in pastoral work, he was called to London to succeed the Rev. Dr. Gill. His farewell sermon had been preached near Moinsgate, in Yorkshire, six or seven wagons stood loaded with his furniture and books, and all was ready for departure. But his loving people were , heart broken; men, women and children gathered and clung about him and his family with sad and tearfuf faces. Finally, overwhelmed with the sorrow of those they were leaving. Dr. Fawcett ahd his wife sat down on one of the packing cases and gave way to grief. -v '-'- "Oh, John, I cannot bear this; I know not how to go." I . . . "Nor I, either, " returned her hus band, "and we will not go. The wagons shall be unloaded and everything put in its old place." His people were filled with intense joy and gratitude at this determination. Dr. Fawcett at once sent a letter to London explaining the case and then resolutely returned to his work on a salary of less than $200 a year. This hymn was written to commemorate the event. - When Mr. Coffing, a missionary at Aintab, in Armenia, set out in 1860 to explore the Taurus mountains he was to penetrate an entirely new and dan grous field. This fact was fully real ized by the inhabitants of Aintab, and they gathered to the number of 1,500 at the roadside and bade farewell to the missionary and his family in the Ar menian words of the hyma, vvrten nearly a century before by the devoted Yorkshire preacher.
