GRAND MUSICAL SERVICES AT ST. GEORGE'S Bishop Mills Addressed St. James' Sunday Sakool--At the Y.M. C.A.--Rev. Mr. Laird Again Able to Preach. Sunday being the Feast of the Holy Innocents, the special collect, gospel and epistle for the day were used at the early celebration at St. George's Cathedral. At matins the Christmas hymns were sung, and the preacher was the curate, who referred at the close of his sermon to the death of the primate, and also paid a touching, feeling tribute to the memory of the late Mrs. C. K. Clarke. The singing - at evensong was usually good, the anthem, "Arise, Shine, for Thy Light is Come!" be- ing sung with exceptional vim and sweetness. The Bishop of Ontario, who preached an eloquent sermon from the subject of the woman of Samaria, was listened to with rapt attention throughout. un- Bishop At St. James'. Yesterday afternoon His Lordship, the Bishop of Ontario, addressed the children of St. James' Sunday 'school. In the edifice gathered" about three hundred and fifty scholars, a large number of parents and friends being also present. As the clergy en- tered, the hymn, "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night," was sung. The address was eloquent and appealed to all that was good in childhood, the first text being, the fifth verse of the fifteenth chapter of St. John: "1 am the vine, ve are the branches." The Lord, Himself, spoke those words, and meant that the little childien were branches of Him. The love of Jesus for little ones was mani- fest throughout His earthly life; had He not blessed them and said, "Suffer little children to come unto Me?" | When a child is baptized it is forever {engrafted ine our Lord Christ. Secondly, the bishop took as his text the fifteenth verse of the second chap ter of the song of Solomon : the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes." "Fhe "wise man, Solomon, had reference to the little sins of child { hood Life; "first, the slang, that was little fox, and, next, a swear, that was also a little fox or sin.

The author of "Nearer, My God, to Thee," was a woman, Sarah Flower Adams. She was an English woman; born in the little village of Harlow, in the year ISU5. Though there are not many at this day who have ever heard oi her, she won no small am of as a poet and writer during her life, and for many years after her memory was cherished by the literary world of London. She was Robert Browning's first love. It was to her alone of all his friends that he showed the first vol- ume of poems, and it is said to have heen through her efforts that his po- cms were published and given to the world. She was a Unitarian and a member of the congregation of William John son Fox. the noted Unitarian preach- or of London. Because of the fact that she belonged to this denomination there were a number of churches, es- pecially the Methodist and Baptist, that refused to include for many years, "Nearer, My God; to Thee," in their hymnals. A Unitarian was re garded as a heretic, if not an infidel, and it was pointed out that the hymn contained no reference to Christ. The hymn was written in the year 1510, and set to music by Eliza Flower, an elder sister of the author. In addition to his religious work, ev. Mr. Fox also edited a literary magazine, to which Sarah was a fre quent contributor. She became much interested in the writings of a contri hutor who wed himself, "Junius Redivivusste. She did not know who he was, but she took occasion to ad- dress a note to him in care of the magazine, expressing her admiration of his work. She signed this with her nom de guerre, which repre sented her pet name of Sally. Without revealing his identity, "Ju- nius Redivivus™ replivd, ac knowledg- ing her courtesy and returning compliment with some commendatory criticism of the work of *'S.Y." This led to further correspondence on to- pics of mutual literary interest until there established between the two unknown writers a cordial friend- ship and understanding, while - Miss Flower's admiration for her masked charmer found added justification in his delightiul and scholarly letters. This was in the year 1833. Miss Flower was then twentv-cight years old, and it was during that wear that Mr. Adams, her future hus He was a civil engineer and eminent attainments as a § entist and a scholar. An instantgat- tachment sprang up between him and Miss Flower and during the engage- ment which speedily followed, she was surprised and more than delighted to discover that the choice of her heart was none other than 'Junius Redivi- vus." ; They were married within a vear. af ter their engagement, and the marri- age proved to be, in its joys and its comradeship. all that their fond hearts had anticipated. For many vears it had been Mrs. Adams' ambition to go on the stage With the encouragement and approval of her husband she now found the first opportunity of realizing her great ambition, and she prepared her self for the task.
