ii Vr If P j L'ev. Ernest E. JJmurian . Vork For The Night . Is Coming Mr, Robert Walker dropped to to an easy chair in the . living room of' his Quebec home,. kicked off hig shoes, sighed -wearily and said to "his wife and daughters, ."Work, work, work, if .that'a all there is In lifej I've had enough of it" . " Annie Louise, the youngest of ' the three girls, went ' into ' .the kitchen and soon came back with a , glass , of cold water. ' "Here, Daddy," she said, as she handed hira the cooling draft. "Drink : ima uiu wu u lew uni( .' He drained the glass, handed it back to her, stretehed out in the chair, and said, "If I had known that the life of a civil engineer would W like this, I "would have taken my father's advice and Btudied medicine." "Oh, don't worry, Daddy", his eldest daughter said. "When the famous Grand Trunk Railway of Canada is all finished, and we board the train for the first ride we can boast that our father was the key man in its construction." "Then we'll he the envy of every girt in Canada," the second ' eisterTeminded the others. Mrs., Walker, finally managing to get a word in edge-wise, added, And then, I hope, we will have i: s enough money left to go back to our home in England." .

And it S back to iollv old Staffordshire for me; back to Brewood, my home, sweet home!" she added enthusiastical ly. Mr. Walker said no more, for he had already given up the struggle and fallen asleep, , When Mrs. Walker (piotloned to her three - daughters to be quite, they tiptoed silently out of tfha room and adjourned to the kitchen to help with the prepare tions for the evening meal. "Why do people have to work?" Annie Louise asked her motner, as they were doing the dishes later that night. , Mrs.'- Walker smiled at her youngest -girl, and answered. 'Some people think work is a cure but I cannot imagine a dull er life than one devoid of all work. Time would hang so heavily on our hands, we couldn't stand it. Of course, there is always tne danger of too much work; but too little work is almost as great a curse as too much. Look at the idle rich we-knew back in Eng land, how they go from pleasure oalace, to seashore, to mountains, gallavanting all over Europe, in a vain aeanch for happiness, n they weren't so rich, and if they had to work for a living, they would' be thousand times happier and healthier. Work is normal, idleness is abnormal and un christian. Annie Louise, sometimes point ed out as "the gentlest, sweetest and prettiest of the three Walk er girls, couldn't get away from that conversation. It crowned her wakine hours and haunted her dreams at night, until she said to her oldest sister a few days later. "I'm working so hard try ing to get away from work, that I even work in my sleep and wake up so worn down that I have to sit on the side of my bed to rest up." Her sister laughed, "If you are that mixed up, Louise, try to sret it out of your system some way fbr other, before it becomes contacious." The following Sunday to Tier dis- may as , wall as enngnienmem the, minister of ' their . church preached on the words pf -Jesus found in John 5:17, "My! Father worked hitherto and , L work". "God is still working" hjf said to his congregation,", and' hi will al ways; T working, becauA lie is God iand, that is His naijure." "Still working?',' Louise whis ecmcs to saving do!!ara... they're best yet cm J economy , Famous '' 6' ' pinch pennies with new camshaft dev-i, new ' valve train daiubiuiy I Lis vp cu. pered to l.ir I, ' r. V.'lio t .i and whispered lik, "Give chance to explain." .." , "Yes, Cod is still t work in continuing the process f crea tion," the clergyman' continued. "This world is not fully complete." By no 1 means is , it a perfect' world. - jCreation is a continuous and continuing process that -we can see in the constant ' growth and development of plant and animal life. Not only in that way is. 'Our Heavenly Father still at work, He is constantly revealing more of Himself and ' Hia crea tion to us. The more we know a bout the heavens,'- the more we know about God; the more '- we know about medicine and science, about i geography and historyy the more we know about- God. since He is not limited to any specific age in history, people "a thousand years from now will know more about Him in many of his crea tion miracles, than we do now. That is not to say we will know more about Him than we find in Jesus. Oh, no. But we will have greater knowledge of his continu ing creative and revealing mira cles as we learn more and more about Him in so many different and varied ways." As thev walked home from the service, Louise said to her father, "He said that God was a work proving the truths of the Bible, as well as awakening the con sciences of Hia children every wViere. I never thought of Jesus' words in that light before. Then when he told us that we were ex pected to work for Him like Jesus did, it really hit me right between the eyes. What was that verse he quoted?" "It was John 9:4," her fattier replied. "When the disciples ask ed Jesus if the man himself had sinned or his parents to cause him to be born blind, the Lord re plied, Neither the man or (as parents, but that Uhe works of pod might be manifest in him. I must work the works of him that Bent me while it is day; the night cometh, when no man. can work!" "The night cometh when no man can work!" his youngest daugh ter repeated to herself. That memorable night in 1854, eighteen-year old Annie (Sometimes called 'Anna") Louise Walker, went to her xoom, sat down at her smn desk, took out - a niece of naoer. picked, up a pencil, and be gan writing k poem, v in- which she summed Up ' he j-3discussiojj4 and"' event oi the previous weal.

In view of all this, it is surprising that t' o poem has en dured, and more remarkable .that it was so quickly accepted as a noble Christian hymn. Her first stanza contained these lines: ', ''Work for the night is coming; . Work through' ,thej morning hours; i '!

' ' ,,4 'V Work when the i day grows brighter Work ,in the glowing ' sun; Work fbr the night is coming, When man's work is done." The poem was' published for the first time'' in' the auttior's book, "Leaves from . the back woods",1 dated 1861. Set to the lilting music of Lowell Mason, it first appeared in a Christian hymnal three 'years later, in 1864. Annie Louise Walker returned to England with her family in 1863, 20 years later in 1883 she married a well-to-do merchant, Mr, Harry Cogdill and made her borne near Hastings, England un til her death in 1907. Although tshe was the. author of six very popular novels and two volumes of poetry, she 'is remembered to day for having written a hymn (which wasn't a; hymn at all, but which. will be sung as long as Christian people want to exhort each other to ' Work1 till' the last beam fadeth, Fadeth' to" shine no more; Work for .the night is coming, When man's work is o er' Some people are bent with work, otfners become crooked trying to avoid it.
