Born to a poor New ftrttflarid'family. William Bradbury never saw an organ until he*joined Lowell Mason’s choir in Boston when he was 14 years old. Former bank clerk Mason contributed much to the Improvement of church music, but when he dis covered and developed the talents of William Brad bury. he made one of his greatest contributions. William Bradbury loved children. He edited 60 . song books, wrote music for such hymns as "Sweet Hour of Prayer,’*, manufactured the ‘‘Bradbury’* piano, helped put music into New York’s public schools and played the organ at Manhattan's great Baptist Tabernacle, but the work nearest William Bradbury's heart was his mammoth choir of 1000 children. While Bradbury was teaching the children of New York to sing, two sisters were writing poetry and novels in their quiet home on Constitution Is- lahd up the Hudson River in the shadow of West Point Military Academy. The sisters were JSusan and Anna Bartlett Warner. In 1850 Susan Warner . -t Jesus loves me! this I know For the Bible tells me so; Little ones to Him belong. They ore weok, but He is strong. ^ Jesus loves me! He who died Heaven's gates to open wide! He' will wash oway my sin. Let His little child come in. '■k “ Jesus loves me! loves me still, Tho* I'm very weak ond ill; wrote ’The Wide, Wide World," which, next to Har- riet Beecher Stowe's “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” sold more than any novel written in America up to that time. In 1860 Anna Warner came out with the Ju venile book, “Say and Seal.” and it almost equalled in sales Susan's best seller. In her book, Anna Warner wrote a poem for one of the fictional char acters, a Sunday School teacher, to read to a fic tional little boy named Johnny Fax. William Bradbury read Anna Warner’s book. When he came to the poem he saw in it material for a children's Sunday School song. So he wrote a tune for it. It's a simple tune, but that's what Wil liam Bradbury meant to write ... a simple tune that little children could sing- He taught it to his choir of 1000 children. That was in 1861, and for nearly a century now, it has been sung by children of India, China, Japan. Burma, Africa and every English speaking country in the world. BefoVe he died of tuberculosis, at 52, William Bradbury wrote the music for "The Solid Rock,” "He Leadeth Me” and many another stately hymns. But one of his greatest contributions to church mu sic is the simple tune he wrote for little children to sing to—the poem he found in a book of fiction .. • From His shining throne on high. Comes to wotch me where I lie. v , ' . Jesus loves me! He will itoy Close beside me oil the way; If I love Him when I die. He will take me home on high. * « Chorus: “\ Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me. The Bible tells me so. By SPECTATOR.. COMMENTS on MEN AND THINGS j ■ That mince pie—do you remem-, starts, braggarts, people of energy, ber it? Last week I told about my keen wigh for a mince pie the first Thanksgiving I spent in Peru, high in the Andes, in the resort favored by the v . Incas—Cajamarca. As I told you I was the only “Yankee” in that region. I also told you that all Americans are called Yankees by people of other countries. I re call an editorial in a South Ameri can daily referring to our Govern ment in Washington as El Gobierno Yankee— the Yankee Government. The first time I was ever called a Yankee was by a lady of a su burb of London, near the vast Capi tal of Her Majesty’s realm. V I had gone to that attractive community on a matter of concern to a col league in the AEF in France. As I walked down a residential ambition and driving power, but not imbued with culture,•- A Scot of Englishman is some what suspicious of us until we prove ourselves. This little story of aur first days in Lima, the Capital of Peru, will show ahat the Scol is still expecting us to be bumptious bra grafts; while we may be only .^Xlking Soberly. . Three Americans went into a book store and addressed the Scot- cumference. Dr. Puga was Abogado that is he was advisor to the Su perior Court of all Northern Peru. The Abogado Fiscal ranks as a - judge of the tribunal and he studies the facts and the law in every case and submits an opinion to the court. The Senora, with*the eupho nious name ot Grimaneze Iglesias, became La~Senora dona Griman- eza Iglesias de Puga. Pretty, don't you think? And she w'as as gracious as one can imagine. v By the way, my first secretary in Cajamarca was the Senorita Irene Silva and she married my assist ant, don Fausto Santololla and she complete dedication and customary assiduity. I found no nuts, citron or cherries, so I resolved to let brain' overcome matter. I bought parched-peanuts and a profusion of raisins, all well seasoned with age. -La Senora and El Senor of the saca (house.) wherein I had rooms participated in this notable feat, scarcely as’.striking as the Sputnik, but even so—; this wos to go down. The Senora, dona Grimaneza Igle sias dC‘ Puga, was really a capable cook, though she left all that to her eight Indian servants. But she her self tried this. ** poured in the pea nuts and raisins even over her pro test. When this citation of my ge : nius was 'laid before us as a work of art it looked like a distant cousin -of faint and weak ginger bread, With here and there a raisin. It did not look or taste like the cake mv mother used to make. ■rv*- pO'• . ♦ V * * * The Government, profoundly im pressed by the example of my mis sionary zeal, as well as the vshble and tangible evidences of my devo tion to my general uplift, transfer red me any my regional office to Lambayeque near the coast, in Northern Peru, so as to broaden the field and. multiply the oppor tunities for the exercise of my tal ents in the cake-making dream. • • • —- Behold a great state: I cite Indi ana.

I am not es pecially enthusiastic' over cakes; nor have 1 usually a great yearning for pies, cakes, puddings, custards, dumplings or other things of that sort, but when you are a long way from home you associate some things with home. ; My experience with a layer cake and then a fruit cake was quite in teresting, even amazing. The ladies should enjoy this story because it will be only a fresh revelation of a man’s vain effort, perchance even his stupidity; and what woman does not relish keenest relish any further proof of a man’s failure. So i stitutiom here we go: Remember that my assistant, Mr. Santololla had never seen a lyaer* cake or a fruit cake, think those Peruvians are quainted with luxuries and temp ting dishes. There have been din ners in old Cuzco that lasted four hours and along with an endless profusion of ordinary foods, there were ten or twelve desserts!!!- When I described a layer cake to Santololla his mathematical mind invented symbols. So he drew a cake with all the meticulous ac curacy of a surveyor making a plat. It resembled one of Ernest Williams’ spring specials of straw hats with three ornate bands, a sort of young man’s delight-in haber dashery. ? We took, that drawing to a Senora who had special artistry in the con fection of dainties. When the fruit of her handiwork appeared it was loaded with lard. She charged me six dollars for that cake, even though lard was cheap at the time. From intimate association with some very delightful, but fiscally cautious Scots I had acquired the habit-of watching my step; that is to say I looked twice or even thrice before taking a step. Here was a problem: What should I do with thnt cake? I conceived a plan: I would axe the cake as a means of fomenting a new item id the book of culinary delights. So L presented slices of cake in the most promising places. As a result one lady pre sented me with an almond cake which had resulted from her study of my layer cake And that almond cake was a joy forever!! —- You may think from the profound skill I am dolling about that I am a marvelous cook or baker That would be a gross exaggeration; I have just enough culinary aptitude to boil water without scorching it. My real masterpiece was 'the fruit cake. I applied myself with May we not try to emulate this example? This is not a rich state, but we are^spending as freely as though we had a thousand new in dustries every year. * * * We of America would‘do well I to challenge all three departments; of our national government when- r ever any department arrogates to itself authority for-which there is no Constitutional sanction. One affliction of the day is ig-; norance of the Constitution; an other is indifference. Because France or England or Russia may do certain things or do things in one fashion does not mean that we are foot loose; we have a su-! preme charted known as the Con-' All departments of government are bound by it. Not withstanding the Constitution the Congress, the Supreme Court, the Don’t Executive and the Boards and unac- Commissions assume functions and exercise powers which do not belong to them. If the courts themselves disregard the Consti tution a citizen has no redress. That is the condition which pro motes revolutions and assassina- taons in some other countries. - In our great nation we are gravely handicapped by officials who are politicians first and fore most and of small caliber.; ' ' Both Democrats and Republi cans play politics and plan, plot, connive and vociferate primarily to promote their own condidacies and secondarily to help restore or maintain the party in power. America is being turned' from its ancient charts by the supreme court which thinks the Constitu tion is what the court says it is. We must not admit or permit that.’ We are becoming sorely victimized by usurping function aries who need a stern rebuke by the people. I have, no interest in either the DuPont Company or General Mo tors but I can’t see just what au thority the supreme Court has to compel the sale of stock held by Hie DuPonts, stock bought by them many years ago when Gen eral Motors was probably about to go on the rocks. I am not deep ly interested except, in the as sumption by the supreme Court of power to apply a law in such a manner as to do violence to Abe clear meaning of the law when it was enacted. “Although the Constitution has not been amended to increase Federal powers since 1920, the Supreme Court in 1937 abandoned its policy of respecting the orig inal intent of the Constitution— as amended—in defining them.
