In the Cross of Christ I Qlory
A Member Of Parliament Writes A Hymn
At a boy I rvdall bearing a member of my fa

sence from preaching service "But," the truant
member added assuringly. "I am always there in
spirit.’' That’s fine." my father feplied. “but. for
tunately. most of my flock comes in person. TTtat
spares me the stupid feeling of preaching to a
bunch of spirits” *
On a rainy Sunday in 1849. the Rev* Dr Hiscox s
congregation at the Central Baptist Church in Nor-
wich. Conn. was comprised mostly of spirits. The
goud minister had prepared .a series of sermons on
"The Words On the Cross” but. on that dismal Sun-

ranging from politics to religion. But all his writ

Remorseful for deserting his preacher. Organist
Conkey ipondered the Rev Hiscox's series of ser
mons on "The Words On the Cross." He recalled
Sir John Bowring's hymn. “In the Cross of Christ
I Glory” The music was not very good and the
choir had never sung the number with much en
thusiasm In fact, for want of better music, the
hymn was on the way out But the words fitted
perfectly with the Rev Hiscox s sermons So. while
the rains came down that Sunday afternoon in 1849,
Ithamar Conkey wrote a new tune for the hymn Sir
John Bowring had written in 1825 He named the
tune "Rathbun.” in honor of the lone choir member
who had showed up that morning During the week
he taught the tune to the choir and the following
Sunday the Rev Hiscox preached to more people
and fewer spirits.

Integration
Impossible'
Now—Virginia
Richmond, V«., April 9—Vir
ginia told the U. S. Supreme
Court today it considers integra
tion in its public schools “im
possible at this time,” arguing;
that Negroes have a lower level
of educational attainment and a
higher ratio of infectious diseas
es than whites.
It cited statistics to prove both
contentions, and pleaded that the
psychology of the whites, as well
as the psychology of the Negroes,
“must be taken fully into ac
count in the final decree” on the
segregation issue.
The commonwealth, and coun
sel for the Prince Edward county
school authorities filed a joint
supplemental brief with the
court on the nature of final de
crees the court must enter to car
ry out its ruling of last May that
segregation in the schools is un.
constitutional. Archibald €k Rob
ertson, an attorney for the coun
ty school officials gave the press
a copy of the brief today after it
was mailed yesterday to the Su
preme Court.
