Though she has been blind since she was six months old, Miss Frances Jane Crosby, generally called, though her real name is Mrs. Alexan- der Van Allstyne, has written more than 5,000 hymns, many of them known all over the world. And though she is now eighty-three years old, rath. er feeble and totally blind, still travels to evangelistic meetings in va- rious citles and gives readings and leo tures. Her home Is in Bridgeport, Conn.
