One of these is the first publication of the famous hymn, "Faith of Our Fathers." In an inter-church survey conducted recently, this hymn ranked elev enth in competitive rating with more than 350 other hymns rent use. Although written Roman Catholic priest, this hymn has had wide use in Protestant congregations. Reasons for the popularity, and long life of this hymn are not far to seek. The dignified, stirring tune to which it is usually sung is ad mirably suited to the vigorous spir it of its verses. The song aspouses no doctrine not universally accept ed by Christians. Moreover, it came from the heart of a man whose faith had remained constant and strong through years of per plexity and difficulty. Barn of Anglican Faith The author. Frederick W. Faber, was born into the Anglican faith. Huguenot blood flowed in his veins, and one cannot help won dering whether he was not remem bering his own ancestry when he wrote: Oar fathers, chained I" prisons dark Were stir in heart and con science free. In youth, his life was marked by extreme piety. At Oxford uni versity he met John Henry (later Cardinal) Newman, well known now as 'author of "Lead, Kindly Light," another universal favorite. Meeting and working with New man was without doubt the most important single event in Faber's life. At the; age of 25 he was or dained on Anglican priest, but a few years later, under Newman's influence, he embraced the Roman Catholic faith. Fonnd Need for Hymns In 1849 Faber and-a helDer es tablished a humble mis-ion in a London slum district. At his night ly services : in the chapel. Faber found considerable need for hymns, and felt that simple bu expressive songs would be helpful both in worship and in teaching. He was already familiar with the effective hymns by Watts, Cowper, and the Wesleys, and determined to write hymns suited to the use of his own and other Catholic congrega tions, j Altogether he wrote more than j 150 hymns, but none of the others rujujcu wir jwpuidlliy UI rs,ln 01 ton hoDtaL a Wideness in God's Mercy" and "Hark, HarK My Soul!" have been frequently republished and adapt ed as anthems. As originally published. "Faith of Our Fathjers" had four stanza. and was a little sermon in verse. The first two stanzas experssed veneration for herioc acts of faith performed by early Christians; the last two exhort the present ae to match the forefathers' achieve- response Is nowhere better illus trated than in this hymn. Biographers agree that Faber had a singularly sweet, calm dis position. He energetically lived the kind of life he encouraged in his sermons and in his hymns. As a preacher he was well poised, was noted for his choice expression, and for unusually effective person al exhortation. Those who knew him best loved him most for the "kindly words and virtuous life"' Hot Lunches For Silverton ;nb7ra Hills, Project SILVERTON Mrs. Alvin Hart ley has been named president of the new Silver Crest Mothers' club.
