Ira. "All ba doe* la run about the country with a hymn book under hit arm.” And after Ira David Sankey became the freateat t os pel linger of his time, wrote some of the finest of hymn tunes, published song books and estab lished his name as a household word on both sides of the Atlantic, he modestly said, "I am no mu sician; Indeed. I am no singer.” Those are words of a man who, when called on te sing a solo appropriate for a sermon on ‘The Good Shepherd" aud finding nothing suitable in his hymnal, put a poem on the music rack, dropped his hands to the organ keys and started singing the words to a tune as It came to him. Thus, be fore a packed auditorium. Ira Sankey composed the music for The Ninety and Nine" and not a note has been changed since ... a feat no other singer since the Psalmist David would have dared attempt And It was the first piece of music San- ^key ever wrote, and he sang it before he wrote it! I hove a Sovlour, He’s pleading In glory, A dear, loving Saviour, tho’ earth-friends be few; And now He Is watching in tenderness o'er me And, oh, that my Saviour were your Saviour, too. I hove o Father; to me He has given A hope for eternity, blessed and true; And soon will He coll me to meet Him in Hea- no, But, oh, that He'd let me bring you with me too! Traveling In Ireland with Evangelist Dwight L Moody, in 1874, Ira Sankey came upon a poem on a little printed leaflet The versee had been written by an Iriah clergyman named Samuel O'Malley Cluff (also spelled Clough). Not much la known about the Rev. Cluff, except that he was once a clergyman in the Established Church of England, broke away from that denonilnation and Joined a sect known as the Plymouth Brethren and later left the Bretheren to cast his lot with still another faith. . In all probability, the shifting Cluff'a poem would have been forgotten but for the uncanny ability and alertness of an "untrained singer” who, as a boy, ran about his native Pennsylvania with a hym book under his arm. For when Ira Sankey read Guff's poem he saw In it material for an appeal ing hymn. He set it to music, sang it all over Ire land. Scotland. England and America and the Christian world has been singing it ever since. Here are the Rev Guffs words for which Ira Sankey composed the second tune he ever wrote I have a robe; 'tis resplendent In whiteness. Awaiting in giocy my wondering view; Oh when I receive it ait shining in brightness. Dear friend, could I see you receiving one, tool Wh-n Jesus has found you, tell others the story. That my loving Soviour is your Soviour too; Then pray that vour Saviour moy bring them to glory, AnJ prayer will be answered—'twos answered for you' LINTON CHRONICLE Shower f« Mr* Wbdrhcl Mn.
