Telephone, Towson 443 tunate in finding a composer like Sir Arthur Sullivan to express its spirit in music." Of the breed of the "Dogs of Devon," Baring-Gould was born at Exeter on January 28, 1834, in the middle of the reign of Kijig William IV, the son of Edward and Charlotte Sophia (Bond) Baring-Gould, and grandson of Admiral Godol-phin Bond, of the British Navy. His direct ppaternal ancestors had been lords of the Manor of LewTrenchard, and which he inherited, for several centuries, He began his career as a writer at the age of twenty, while he was an undergraduate at Cambridge, and continued up to within a short tim eof his death, publishing works of fiction, history, folklore, religion, travel and mythology in such rapid sequence that he was recognized as one of the most prolific authors of his day. His last book, "A Demon Churchman," appeared in June, 1923. Heir to Lew-Trenchard Manor, with its three thousand broad acres, including lovely woodland stretching for mileh in every direction, Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould might well have settled down, from the first, as a typical country magnate.

Many winters abroad, owing to his delicate health, facilitated studies in. German and French life and literature, upopn which he has extensively written. One of his happiest ideas was the saving from oblivion of the folksongs of Devon and Cornwall. This advanced High Churchman issued many books on theology, volumes of sermons, collections of hymns. He spent eight years on "The Lives of the Saints—in fifteen volumes. His "Vicar of Mor-wenstowe" is a delightful presentation of an attractive personality. His astonishing literary prpoductiveness is further seen in many powerful novels. Residence in Essex gave him "Mehala," his West Country associations "John Herring" and "In the Rear of th eSea." He himself preferred "The Gaverocs." Whatever his magnum opus Baring Gould will be most widely remembered for h i s hymns. Their origin, too, is oT'interest. In 1864 he took Holy Orders, and served under Rev. John Sharp. He secured a. cottage at Horbury Bridge. In the downstairs room, assisted by an old muffin-man and a< wool-comber, the heir of Lew Trenchard held a much needed night-school every wintreeve-ning, and religious services in the room above every Sunday, the audience often overflowing down the stairs. In, 1865 he opened the mission chapel. For the congregation miners, mill-workers and their families—he composed the hymn, "Now the Day Is Over." At Whitsuntide the children «. .«. a a. a. >. m. .*¦ -«.... ....?.... -*. -». .?¦ ...... .?. ... .?. a joined St. Peter's School at their feast and paraded quaint old Horboury, commencing with a steep mile. To maintain order and put life into the climb, the gifted improvisa-tore, within a few minutes, struck off "Onward, Christian Spldiers," which* became the favorite hymn of the late Duke of Cambridge. The same local conditions suggested his admirable composition, "Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow." His hymn, "On the* Resurrection Morning" greatly comforted Queen Victoria. The sixties witnessed his daring originality in another direction. ^He fell in love with a Ho%ury millhand, had her educated at York, and then married her. He > had been heard to say that he was proud of Horbury, but that he brought the best bit of it away with him when he left. After) nearly fifty years' married life Baring-Gould inscribed on her granite cross the words "Half my Soul." His favorite picture was that of Grace Taylor, the mill-girl, with a shawl over her head.
