_MUSIC._ GREENWOOD was composed for the hymn beginning, “We lift our hearts to Thee,” in a _Collection of Church Music_, 1849, by Root and Sweetser. The composer, Joseph Emerson Sweetser, 1825-73, was an English organist and composer of vocal music. A part of his life was spent in New York City as organist at the Church of the Puritans. 237. O heart of God! _F. Stanfield_ A hymn of confidence and trust resulting from the mystical repose in the heart of God. The words and tune are found in _St. Basil’s Hymnal_, compiled by the Basilican Fathers, and published in Chicago, 1918. The author, Francis Stanfield, a Roman Catholic priest, was born in London, November 5, 1836, the son of Clarkson Stanfield, an artist. He was educated at St. Edmund’s College, near Ware. After ordination, he spent most of his time conducting missions and retreats, though he was stationed for brief periods in several parishes. He is the author of numerous hymns which were collected and published by the Benedictine Fathers, at Ramsgate, England. The present hymn is an adaptation, made by the editors of the _Hymnary_, of his “O Sacred Heart, our home lies deep in Thee.” The original is too Catholic for Protestant use. No information is at hand concerning the composer of the tune. 238. Life of all that lives below _Charles Wesley_, 1707-88 _Samuel Longfellow_, 1819-92 This hymn, a prayer for a fuller life nurtured by Christ, the living Bread, is of composite authorship, but no information is at hand concerning the part which Wesley and Longfellow, respectively, had in it. It is not listed in Julian’s _Dictionary of Hymnology_. For comments on Charles Wesley see Hymn 6. For comments on Longfellow see Hymn 28. _MUSIC._ PLEYEL is taken from the _Andante_ movement of the composer’s _Fourth String Quartet, Op. 7_. It appeared as a long-meter tune in _Arnold and Callcott’s Psalms_, 1791, set to Addison’s hymn, “The spacious firmament on high.” Ignace Josef Pleyel, 1757-1831, 24th child of an Austrian schoolmaster, was a favorite pupil of Haydn and gained fame as a composer and conductor. Mozart spoke highly of his quartets. Later in life he engaged in business, publishing and selling music, and manufacturing pianos of high quality. The manufacturing house of Pleyel and Company is still well and favorably known in Europe. 239. There is a place of quiet rest _Cleland B. McAfee_, 1866-1944
