Death Claims Rev. Sabine'Baring-Gould Who Wrote
"Onward Christian Soldiers" And Other
Noted Church Songs.
Millions in two generations have shouted "Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane," but few knew'anything more of the author of the battle-hymn of Christianity than that his name was S. Baring Gould*. Few realized before he died on January 2 that he was still llring and, until a few months ago, an dactive »nd aggressive factor in the religious- and llter-ar yworld. Yet the clergyman was a veteran in English literature, theology, science and art, and th eauthor of 140 books, many of them authoritative in their special fields, and many of them of high literary worth. He antedated -the Victorian reign, and was still exercising his creative facilities, and still

preaching the Gospel in the reign of her grandson. The Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould was nearly ninety years old when, for him, "the day was over." His passing at his ancestral home at Lew-Trenchard, England, is recoreded, with long biographical accounts of his career, in the newspapers of the two hemispheres, and numerous editorials memorialize his life and works.
The last of the "squarsons" —a word coined of squire and parson—Sabine ^Baring-Gould was also one of the last "Great Victorians," of whom, if he was not one of the greatest, we are told, he probably stood first of all in the versatility of his genius and the variety and number of his writings. At the same time he was a country rector, a lord of the manor, a sermon-writer, a student of camparative religion, an extremely popular novelist, a poet, an authority on medieval myths and legends, and an antiquarian of note in several branches of research. A generation ago the catolog of the library of the British Museum credited him with the authorship of more books than any other living writer, and since that time he had given to the world at least half a hundred additional volumnes, including som eworks of the first importance. But it is on his hymns that his fame chiefly rests. "Onward, Christian Soldiers" was written on a Whit-Monday in a Yorkshire village where young Baring-Gould was then curate, as a marching song for a band of school children. It was written in great hast efor a special occasion, and its author said in after years, "Certainly nothing has surprised me more than its great popularity." It is related that the bishop of Baring-Gould's diocese, a Low Churchman, disapproved of the carrying of the cross in pro-
