Thwrsday, September 30,1864 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Sweet Hour of Prayer An old carver dictates a poem— Everybody In Colerfilll, England, knew Wil liam Waiforc^ On Sundays be preached around at different churches for his minister friends. During the week the townsfolk made his little trinket shop their favorite meeting place. He was forever whittling out novelties for children and he made hie scant living carving items from ivory. Though his life was filled with adversi ties and he had seen many “seasons of distress and grief’ there was something uplifting about the old carver’s outlook on life. One day in 1842 when Congregational Minister Thomas Salmon stopped in Walford’s shop he found his friend with more on his mind than his carving and usual optimistic philosophy. He had composed a poem and he asked the Rev. the wo Salmon to take them. words down as he recited Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayeri That calk me from a world of cars. And bids mo at my Father's throne Moke all my wonts and wishes known; In seasons of distress and grief. My sod has often found relief. And oft escaped the tempter's snare By thy return, sweet how of prayer. Sweet hour of prayeri Sweet hour of prayeri Thy wings shall my petition bear To Him whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting sods to bless; , Three years later, on a visit to New York, Salmon presented the dd carver's poem to the New York Observer. It was printed in the September issue at 184S but nothing of note came of it until 14 years later. Then, in 1858, a copy of it came to the attention of New York’s organist and composer William Bradbury. In addition to directing choirs, writing music for some of the most famous hymns and manufac turing organa Bradbury published some 60 hymn hooka He immediately saw in Walford’s poem material for a hymn, set it to music and pub lished it Tbs reason William Walford had asked the Rev. Salmon to take down his poem while he dictated it was because the old carver was blind and couldn't see how to write. And since Ha bids me seek His face. Believe His Word and trust His grace, HI cast on Him my ovary core. And wait for Him, sweat hour of prayer. Sweat hour of prayeri Sweat hour of prayeri , May I thy consolation shore. Till from Mount Phgah's lofty height, I view my home and take my flight; This robe of flash HI drop, and rise . To seize the everlasting prize. And shout while passing through the air. Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer. J. L.

Congress Puts On 'Ad' In Late Show To Impress Voters Washington, Sept 25—There Is evidence in official records that many members of Congress are campaigning for re-election with claims of having introduced legis lation that they knew did not have a real chance of even initial consideration. This is a practice not confined to any one political party. It con sists of introducing bills near ad journment. The result is a lot of printing and a lot bundles that will be thrown away. All these legislative proposals, however, seem to be measures with particular appeal to the con stituencies of their sponsors. With out even remote hope of action, members put in the bills. It ap pears to give them prestige and campaign arguments. But many voters are not aware of the facts of Congressional pro cedures. Getting a bill through Congress is a time consuming pro cess. It takes weeks or months for Congress to act on a legislative proposal. % The Procedure Outlined A bill usually goes through processes such as these: Introduction of the bill and its formal referral to a committee. This must be done in both the Senate and the House of Represen tatives. The awaiting of a committee meeting day and a finding of a place on its bulky calendar for consideration. Committee action on the measure then must follow. A finding of a spot on the floor agenda for consideration of a bill approved by a committee. In the House the Rules Committee usual ly must act before a green light is given. Floor consideration and votes. Usually differences between the Senate and the House must go to conference for adjustment, follow ed iby ratification of the com promise by both houses. Yet, seventy bills were intro duced during the last five days of the session just closed. One of them, calling for an amendment to the Constitution to change the le gal effect of treaties and other in ternational agreements was simi lar to the so-called Bricker resolu tion that tied the Senate up for a month during January and Feb ruary. This was introduced two days before the Eighty-third Congress shut down, except for the Senate recall for the McCarthy censure vote. When a bill is introduced during the first session of a Congress it remains alive until that Congress adjourns sine die.
