“Walk In The Light”, this
week’s choice for Hymns We
<» Ix>ve to Sing, was written by
Barnard Barton, the English
“Quaker Poet” and was first
published in 1826. The dlstlnc
„ tlve teachings of the Quakers,
of whom he was one, influenced
him to write this hymn about
“the inner light.” It is based on
I John 1:7 — “But if we walk in
the light, as he is in the light,
we have fellowship one with an
other, and the blood of J e s u s
Christ his son cleanseth us from
all sin.”
The music for this hymn was
written by Henry Wellington
Greatorex, son of a noted En
glish musician, at one time or
ganist at Westminster Abbey.
Young Henry studied under his
father and became a skilled! or
> ganist. In 1838 he was called to
Hartford, Conn, to become org
anist at the Center Congression
al Church. Nathaniel Hawthorne
, was among those present when
Greatorex made his American
debut.
Bernard Barton was born of
Quaker parents, Jan. 31, 1784,
' at London and was educated in
a Quaker school at Ipwlch. He
served as an apprentice to a
shopkeeper in Essex for ten
years, then with a brother en
tered the coal business in Suf
folk. Heartbroken by the death
of his wife, during child birth,
- within a year of their marriage,
he moved to Liverpool and got
a position as tutor, but return
ed to Suffolk and went to work
in a bank remaining there for 40
years. He had as a friend Ed*
ward Fitzgerald, translator of
the Rubaiayat of Omar Khay
yam, who married Mr. Barton's
only child. He also was the
friend of such authors as Charles
Lamb, Lord Byron, Sir Walter
Scott, and Robert Southey.
Charles Lamb in a letter to
Barton warned him not to expect
an easy living as an author
saying he would be at the mer
, cy of the booksellers. But in
spite of this warning Barton
spent much time, when net work
ing at the bank, writing. An En
glish periodical in a friendly crit
icism of his writing said “Mr.
Barton’s style is well suited to
devotional poetry. It has great
sweetness and pathos, accompan
’ led with no small degree of pow
er, which well qualify it for the
expression of the higher and
purer feeling of the heart."
a His daughter, in a biography
of Author Burton, wrote, “He
was not learned — in language,
science, or philosophy. Nor did
, he care for the loftiest kind of
poetry, ‘the heroics’ as he called
it. His favorite authors were
those who dwelt in humor, good
sense, domestic feeling, and pas
toral feeling.”
He is described as a lovable
person, kind, gentle, sweet-nat
ured and beloved by all who
' knew him; and his writings
were simple enough so the hum
ble could understand and the
learned appreciate.
■’ One will get an idea of the sty
le of Barton’s writing by read
ing “Walk in the Light.”

Walk in the light! and thou

Bloodshed
Continues
In Rebellion
By DONALD P. O'HIGGINS
BELFAST, Northern Ireland
(UPl)—Roman Catholic and
Protestant snipers, hit and run
machine gunners and firebom
bers spread more bloodshed
through Bel f a s t’s flaming
streets today in new fighting
outside barbed wire zones
manned by 400 British troops.
Eight persons had been shot
to death since the religious
(rioting broke out in Belfast
Thursday night and more than
320 injured, including 62 per
sons shot.
A ninth person was killed in
the city of Armagh.
Across the border, the
overwhelmingly Roman Catho
lic Irish Republic mobilized
2,000 reserge troops to support
1,600 men already massing
along Northern Ireland fron
tiers.
10 Months Os Strife
The 10 months of intermittent
strife in Northern Ireland
erupted into near civil war this
week and is the result of the
Roman Catholic minority’s
contention that the predomin
antly Protestant government of
Northern Ireland systematically
discriminates against Catholics,
particularly in jobs, housing
and voting.
British troops rolled into the
adjacent Protestant and Catho
lic neighborhoods along the

The British troops surrounded

Slashes Across
Western Cuba
MIAMI (UPI) —Hurricane Ca
mille churned into the Gulf of
Mexico today after slashing
across western Cuba and aimed
its 100 mile-an-hour winds on a
northerly course that threa
tened Florida’s Panhandle.
“A hurricane watch will
probably be issued for the
northwest Florida Coast and
the Mobile, Ala., area later
today,” forecaster Raymond
Kraft said.
Some hur.ricane-wary res
idents of Florida’s Gulf Coast
began to batten down Friday
evening after Camille treked
across the tobacco and coffee
rich western tip of Cuba.
Gale warnings were hoisted
over Dry Tortugas, the tiny
Gulf Island southwest of Key
West, Fla., that is the site of
historic Fort Jefferson.
Forecasters predicted Ca
mille would grow even bigger
and more violent. The storm’s
gale-force winds already fan
out 150 miles from its center.
Warnings Hoisted
Small craft warnings were
hoisted in Southeast Florida,
through the Keys, and along the
Sunshine State’s Gulf Coast.
Seas in the area were running
three to six feet.
At 6 a.m., EDT, Camille’s 100
m.p.h. center was located near
latitude 23.7 north and longitude
85.3 west, or about 450 miles
south of the Florida Panhandle.
Camille was moving toward the
west-northwest at 10 m.p.h., but
was expected to shift slightly
more northward later today.
Inside Tip

See Story Page Five
If Camille maintains its
present speed, it would proba
bly hit land on Sunday. An
increase in forward speed,
however, could put hurricane
force winds ashore sometime
tonight.
There were no immediate
damage reports from Cuba, but
a state of emergency was
declared in Havana and Pinar
Del Rio provinces, where
weather forecasters said Ca
mille delivered a “mighty
blow” Friday night.
The season’s fourth tropical
storm, Debbie, was about 900
miles east of the Lesser
Antilles early today, carrying
50 mile an hour winds on a
westerly course.
Red Cross Moves
Te Red Cross began moving
emergency relief teams into
position along the Gulf Coast
and a spokesman in Washington
said 19 disaster specialists had
been ordered into Key West,
Fort Myers, Fla., Cedar Key,
Fla., and the Tampa, St. Peters
burg areas. Specialists also
were sent to Miami and
Orlando.
Dr. Robert H. Simpson said
the hurricane was the most
Intense since Beulah raged
through Texas in 1967.
Beulah struck the Texas Gulf
Coast in September of 1967,
causing the worst flood in the
state’s history, killing 42
persons and doing an estimated
$1 billion damage.
Reserve Unit
Back Home
In Georgia
AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI) —Last
week, Georgia’s 319th Trans
potation Company, a reserve
unit, was in Vietnam. Today,
all 175 men are enjoying leaves
from Ft. Gordon.
Orders call for them to be
back at the sprawling military
complex for processing Mon
day. Tuesday, they will attend
ceremonies sending them back
home to Jobs and families — to
inactive status.
Only one of the 319th mem
bers did not return from Viet
nam. Capt. Paul Troxler said
the man was killed accidentally,
and there was only three injur
ies.
“The Lord was really with
us. He was riding shotgun,”
Troxler said.
The 319th spent most of its
year in Long Vlnh, described
by Troxler as “the lagest am
munition dump in the world.”
