Stories of Famous Hymus,
From week to week the Reporter
w ill publish the stories of a few of the
most popular hymns. These stories
are based on facts, and will be inter
esting to the average reacer,
“ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS NAME.
The principle story of this hymn is
connected with a missionary in India.
He bad been a missionary in some of
the wilder t1ibes fir many years but
at last he determined to carry the
gospel to one of the dangerous julsnd
tribes with which, although he kuew
their language, he was not familiar
When he reached the encampment of
the savages, he was met by a dozen or
wore of them with spears, and it look-
ed as if he would be suflered to live not
more than a few minutes more at the
longest, However, he did not falter
While they psused, apparently for
him to say something, he drew out his
violin and, closing bis eyes, began to
sing and play this hymn.
According to the paper which tells
the story, “When he had finished he
opened his eyes to witness, as he
thought, his death at the points of
their spears ; but to his great joy he
found that the spears had fallen, and
that many of the savages were 80 deep-
ly affected as to be in teats, The song
had saved him from death and opened
an effectual door for the preaching of
the gospel to that tribe and to others.
