TOUCBING STOKY OP HOvV A GREAT HYMN WAS WRITTEN.

The -Church Union Gazette relates a most interesting story of the memorial which is being raised at Brixham (Devonshire), in memory of the Rev. Henry Francis Lyte, who, sixty years ago, wrote the well-known hymn, " Abide with me." The narrative is related in connection with a final effort of a thirty years Bcheme to rebuild the ohuroh of Lower Brixham, at which Mr Lyte ministered, and, although £7000 has been raised, £2000 is mill Required. The author of " Abide with me " laboured among the fishermen cf Brixham for twentyfive years, refusing all offers of preferment. At the age of fifty-four be realised that he must die of consumption, and he prayed that he might write something which would live. He wrote "Abide with me' 1 on the last evening he spent at Brixham, after preaching to his flock for the last time. The sun was setting over the red -sailed ships that lay in the harbour as he finished his noble prayer.

. Next morning he started for the Hiviern, and died at Nioe a month later. /

Vividness is one thing- and veracity another, and what the appreciative reading public fail to do is to discriminate between the intensity and the truth of the pictures that convince it. — Mr John M. jftobertson, in the Indian Review.
