About a year later I went out to the Anderson home but found that Alice had been taken for treatment to the children’s hospital at the University. I went back a year later, and this time I found that an ambulance had come after her that very morning. Perhaps six months later, I was again slowly taking the deeply-rutted road. She came limping toward me as fast as she could, which was not very fast. Hobbling down the lane on her one good leg with the aid of a considerably improved other leg, she called out to me with ardent pride, “I can sing that song. _I can sing that song!_” And she could: “Jesus bids us shine, with a clear pure light, Like a little candle burning in the night; In this world of darkness, we must shine, You in your small corner, and I in mine.” And she didn’t forget to point at me either! —_Otis Moore in Zion’s Herald._ Men Loved the Kiddies’ Hymn “I have seen an officer in mid-years almost break down in tears because I casually quoted the ... hymn: “‘Now the day is over, Night is drawing nigh; Shadows of the evening Steal across the sky.’” Such was the testimony of Chaplain Thomas Tiplady, who was with the British forces in France during World War I. He gives the reason for this when he says that the man’s mother had for several years repeated the hymn to him every evening. But most of the soldiers liked this hymn. Particularly impressive is the account given of the time when the men assembled for worship in a little church at Achicourt, about a mile out of Arras. There the men often gathered, even though the building had been badly shattered. A final service was held, and the benediction had been pronounced. Then the chaplain said: “Before we part and before we leave Achicourt which has meant so much to us of joy and sorrow, let us sing a kiddies’ hymn.” It was not in their books, but the leader read it verse by verse, and the men sang. One may easily imagine their deep feelings as they united in the words: “Grant to little children Visions bright of Thee; Guard the sailors tossing On the deep blue sea.” The testimony of the chaplain to the effects produced by that hymn is as follows: “I have witnessed many moving sights in my time and heard much deep and thrilling music but I have never been so deeply moved by anything as by the deep, rich voices of these gallant men and boys who, after winning the Battle of Arras, had come into this ruined church and were singing this beautiful kiddies’ hymn as their last farewell.” CHAPTER IX SANG IN THEIR OWN TONGUES What seems to me important and inspiring is that in hours of deep religious emotion Christian faith in different nations should find expression in the same words. —_The Christian Advocate._ Wondrous power of music!...
