Written especially for use in the first issue of _Words of Life_, a Sunday school paper published by Fleming H. Revell. Two years later, George Stebbins introduced the song in an evangelistic campaign which he and Dr. Pentecost were conducting in New Haven, Conn., the two men singing the song as a duet. The song was received with enthusiasm and immediately became popular. It was published in _Gospel Hymns, No. 3_ and has had a wide use in evangelistic services and in the Sunday schools throughout the country. For comments on Philip P.

Crosby_, 1820-1915 A rallying song for Christian workers in all parts of the world. This is the only one of Fanny Crosby’s hymns to be included in the famous English publication, _Hymns Ancient and Modern_. It was a great favorite of Frances E. Willard and Frances Murphy, temperance crusaders, and D. L. Moody was very fond of it. The hymn had its origin in a visit which the blind poet made to one of the worst slum districts in New York City. When she addressed the men at a rescue mission, Miss Crosby heard harrowing tales of lost and perishing people. She wrote: “While I sat there that evening the line came to me, ‘Rescue the perishing, care for the dying.’ I could think of nothing else that night. When I arrived at my home, I went to work at once, and before I retired the entire hymn was ready for a melody.” For comments on Fanny J. Crosby see Hymn 313. _MUSIC._ RESCUE was composed by Dr. Doane for this hymn. The hymn and tune have resounded through many thousands of mission services. For comments on Wm. H. Doane see Hymn 313. 498. O scatter seeds of loving deeds _Jessie Brown Pounds_, 1861-1921
