Par* Six THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thonday, May 20, It&4 Mother-Daughter Girls Banquet At Joanna Church Let The Lower Lights Be Burning A Gospel Singer Hears a Story But for hi* untimely death, the golden Yoiced Philip Bliss would hare perhaps outrivaled Ira D. Sankejr as the greatest gospel singer of the last century. With a start of twenty years over Fanny Crosby, It is also liketf that he would have run the blind poetess a close second as America's most prolific hymn writer. But the Pennsylvania composer had enjoyed less than a decade of success when his life was snuffed out at the age of 38 in a railroad wreck in 1876. Thus he is often referred to as “the lamented Bliss." Philip Biles got the themes for most of his hymns from sermons. It was from a sermon by a Rev. Brundage that he got his idea for “Almost Persuaded." While singing for evan- gelist D. W. Whittle in Chicago, Bliss heard the preacher tell of a battle during the Civil War. From the message came his theme for “Hold the Fort.” The singer-composer was singing for Dwight L. Moody when the renowned evangelist told the story of a shipwreck. Moody related how passengers were lost because lower lights along the shore were out and only the large light of a lighthouse was burning. The pilot had his general direction but could not see rocks near the entrance to the harbor. “The Master will take care of the great light," said Moody, “let us keep the lower lights burning." Once an idea struck the alert mind of Bliss, he worked rapidly . . . usually writing both words and music. At the next service he sang a new hymn for Moody’s congregation. It was— Brlpthly beams our Father's mercy From His lighthouse evermore; But to us He gives the keeping Of the lights along the shore. Dark the night of sin has settled, Loud the angry billows roar; Eager eyes are watching, longing. For the lights along the shore. Trim your feeble lamp, my brotherl Some poor seaman, tempest-tossed, Yrying now to make the harbor. In the darkness may be lost. Let the lower lights be burning! Send a gleam across the wavel Some poor fainting, struggling seaman You may rescue, you may save *— Academy Street continues to set a fast pace in the Little Leag ue winning all four of their games.

This recommendation is part of a current campaign to stop cause of many explosions in volving anaesthetics. The Bureau warns that anaes thetic gases are highly inflam mable and little can be done to reduce their explosiveness. It is up to hospitals to equip their operating rooms to meet this danger. “Woolen blankets, plastic sheets, and nylon-rayon uni forms should be replaced by cot ton. matorials,’’ says Paul Guest, electrical engineer for the Bu reau.
