C. 4t-F2 PRETTY SNOW SCENES IN CHERRYVILLE II Above are several beautiful snow scenes taken by Walter (sure-shot) Chap man on the morning of Monday, January 24th, after the second snow of the season fell on Sunday night, January 23rd. This was the prettiest snow scenes witnessed here in 30 years. It makes no difference how much you have studied Art in America or abroad, it makes no difference how high of a grade of paint you use or how long you study and paint your picture, there is no picture in the world, as pretty and great as that of the handy work of God with nature itself. There is much snow still lying o i the ground from the first seven inch snow fall on Tuesday night, January 18th. You know the old saying: when it lies on the ground for several days, it is waiting for mo-e. It has been here 14 days. 'Hymn Of The Week By R«. Ernest K. Enrarian MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE Unlike Tennyson, whose best poem was his last, “Crossing’ The Bar’’ being written during the poet’s eighty-first year, Ray Pal mer’s best was his first, written when he was only twenty-two. In the fall of 1830, the young Yale graduate went to New York City as a teacher in a select school for young ladies, directed by a lady who was connected with St. George’s Church. There, he divided his (time be tween teaching and studying the ology, residing with the family of the director of the school. Accus tomed from childhood to the ex pression of what his heart felt in the form of verse, he sat at his desk one night in the early win ter of 1830, and began writing another poem. It was an hour “when Christ in the riches of His grace and love was so vividly ap prehended as to fill the soul with the deepest emotion.-’ With no thought of writing a hymn and without the slightest intention of penning a poem that, any other eyes should ever read, he wrote six stanzas in the unusual 6.6.4. 6.6.4. metre, the first of which My faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary, Saviour Divine; E :now near me wnne 1 pray; ukc all my guilt away; 0 let me from this day, Be wholly Thine He was sj deeply stirred that h? stained the closing- lines with abundant tears. Before he retired he wrote these words in his dairy, “1 wrote tonight a simple poem. 1 wrote just what I felt with lit tie effort. I reicollect that I pen ned the last words with tender ■motion.” I.ater he copied the stanzas in a small morocco-covered book _which he always carried with him "for just, such purposes, and promptly forgot all about them. In the fall of 18H2, two years after he had written what was to become his most famous hymn. Ray Palmer was visiting in Bos ‘on when he chanced to meet his friend. Dr. T.owell Mason, on a busy street. Mlason, the father of American hymnologv. asked the voting man. if he had come across ■ ny good new hymns for a “Hvmn And Tune Book” which he plan ned to publish shortly with the ■•ssistance of Dr. Hast:"jrs of New York. Palmer hesitantly referred to his little hook, so reluctant was he to let. anyone else read the lines in which he had recorded his profound and moving spiritual cxorrience. But. when Mason read ♦ be stanzas, he asked for a copy. The men stepped into a store to gether and a copy was made which Mason put in his pocket, l non arriving home, the musician read over the verses carefully, j and was so much impressed that i he composed an original tune for I them which he named “Olivet.” I Two day* later the two mb met again on another b*wy Beaten street. Scarcely waiting to greet the young poet, Dr. Mason ex claimed, ‘‘Mr. Palmer, you may live many years and do many good things, but I think you will be best known to posterity as the author of “My Faith Looks Up To Thee’.” The poet was ordained as a Congregational minister in 183-5, holding pastorates and executive positions in Maine and New York. When he arid his wife celebrated their golden, wedding anniversary in 1882, a friend paid him this tribute, “The grandest privilege which God has ever given to His children upon earth and which He gives to comparatively few is to write a noble Christian hyvnn to he accepted by the churches, to be sung by reverent and loving hearts in different lands an<l in different, tongues, and which still shall he sung as the future opens its brightening centuries.” Although he wrote other hymns and translated from the Latin such poetic gems as "Come Holy Ghost In Love” and “Jesus, Thou Joy Of Loving Hearts” before his death in 1887. English-speaking Christians are unanimous ir. agreeing that Ray Palmer's first hymn was his best. Bessemer Boy Wins Photography Contest Mars Hill—Boyd P. Falls, son of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin S.
