BRILLIANT SCHOLAR.

PRAYERS FROM HYMNS.

Principal T. Hywel Hughes, in the course of a tribute in the "Christian World" to the late Dr. Hugh R. Macintosh, professor of dogmatic theology in New College, Edinburgh (Church of Scotland), after referring to him as one of the foremost theologians in Britain and as a true man of God, gentle, kindly and transparent of soul, goes 011 to speak of his great scholarship. He does not exaggerate when he says that in a university class that included a galaxy of able men, many of whom have occupied chairs in theology, philosophy and history in various colleges throughout the world, he easily ranked first.

None other Lamb, none other Name, None other Hope in Heaven or earth or sea, None other hiding place from guilt and shame, None beside Thee. My faith burns low, my hope burns low; Only my heart's desire cries out in me. By the deep thunder of its want and woe, Cries out to Thee. Lord, Thou art Life, though I be dead; Love's Fire Thou art, however cold I be; Nor Heaven have I, nor place to lay my head, Nor home, but Thee. —Christina Georgina Rossetti.
