Onward, Christian Soldiers
Os a Half Century's Writing, An Author Is Remembered For
One Night’s Work
During the week days the Rev. Sabine
Baring-Gould ministered to his little con
gregation at the mill town of Horbury.
England. On Sundays he converted his
bachelor quarters into a meeting house. Ai
night he held school in the same room.
After school he retired to his upstairs bed
room and wrote into the small hours of
morning.
Whitmonday was a day of festival for
the children of Horbury. And it was cus
tom for them to march, with crosses and
banners, to a neighboring town to join
other children for the annual celebration.
For the event in 1854 the Rev. Baring-
Gould was asked to escort the group. On
the night before he searched hymnals for
a song the children might sing as they
marched. Giving up his search, he wrote
some verses of his own; wrote over them
“Hymn for Procession with Cross and Ban
ners” and went to bed.
That same year the young bachelor
saved a mill hand's daughter from drown
ing, sent her away to school, married her
Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before!
Christ the royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See, His banners go!
At the sign of triumph
Satan's host doth flee,
On then, Christian soldiers,
On to victory!
Hell's foundations quiver
At the shout of praise
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise

Launch Venture In Faith
Methodist churches in the
North Georgia Conference
will launch their “Venture
In Faith” preaching mission
March 5.
March 5-9 is the high
light of “A Venture In Faith”
which has been carried on in
Georgia Methodist churches
since last October. Numerous
evangelistic activities have
gone on since then includ
ing retreats, local church
schools of evangelism, com
munity surveys, and visita
tion campaigns. The March
5-9 emphasis has been des
ignated “a week of total
evangelism in all churches”
by the program directors.
Virtually every phase of lo
cal church evangelism will
be carried out during the
five days.
The Rev. Reynolds Greene
Jr. of LaGrange, director of
the North Georgia Meth
odist Conference “A Ven
ture In Faith”, said the ma
jor purpose of the venture
is “to renew the spiritual life
of all Georgians and to re
late their faith more totally
to today’s problems”. Mr.
Greene said ministers
preaching in the North
Georgia mission will make
an effort to show people to
day's Christian must be in
volved in helping improve
society.
Church services will be
held daily in more than 800
churches in the North Geor
gia Conference. Most of
these are scheduled at 7:30
p.m. though some commu
nities will hold services twice
daily.
The South Georgia Con
ference preaching mission
was held Feb. 5-9 with
North Georgia Conference
ministers speaking In local
churches. South Georgia
pastors will come to North
Georgia as preachers for the
week of March 5-9.
Bishop J. O. Smith of At
lanta called the South
Georgia Methodist venture
“one of Georgia Methodism’s
real successes”. He said
most churches had “overflow
crowds” and that numerous
reports had come to him
saying persons had found
“significant spiritual aid”
through the venture.
“A Venture In Faith” has
included 1,564 churches in
its pulpit exchange program,
which is a primary activity
in the “week of total evan
gelism” in each conference.
When the program is com
pleted, It will have involved
nearly 1,000 ministers in 20
districts across the state.
Exchanges in the North
Georgia Conference preach
ing mission will be as fol
lows: Atlanta-Marietta Dis
trict with Atlanta-Emory
District (within North Geor
gia Conference); Macon
District with Atlanta-De
catur-Oxford District; Co
lumbus District with Atlan
ta-Southwest District; Sa-
in 1868 . . . and kept on writing. At the
death of his father, in 1881, he inherited
a fortune, moved into a mansion at Lew
1 renchard . . . and kept on writing.
For 52 years Baring-Gould wrote a novel
every year. He also wrote books on reli
gion, mythology, biography, travel, folk
lore, theology . . . and published a book of
hymns. His “Lives of the Saints” alone
covers 15 volumes. Yet, he wrote all his
85 books in long hand and never had a
secretary. “I never wait for an inspiration,”
he said, “and when I begin a job I stay on
it ’til it’s finished."
Had the Rev. Baring-Gould lived 26 days
more ne would have been 90 when he died
in 1924. It is stTid the literary catalogue of
the British Museum lists more titles by him
than any other author of his time. But
Sabine Baring-Gould is best remembered
for a children’s marching song he wrote
one night when he was 30 . . . and to
which a 29-year-old organist named Ar
thur Sullivan set to music in 1871 . . .
Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod;
We are not divided;
All one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity.
Onward, then, ye people,
Join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and honor,
Unto Christ the King;
This thro* countless ages
Men and angels sing.

ALTHOUGH THE UNITED STATES has suffered severe
balance of payments deficits in recent years-that is we have
spent far more overseas than we take m-the station would
be much worse if it weren’t for our booming farm trade.
Mostly because of foreign aid and the cost of U. S. defense
establishments abroad, we have witnessed balance of payments
deficits of about $2 billion annually for the past several years.
As a result the drain upon our gold has been tremendous, and
our gold reserves are now at the lowest level in a quarter cen
tury-some $13.2 billion, with less than $4 billion in so-called
"free gold” to meet possible foreign claims of over S3O billion.
We have a relatively favorable trade surplus of exports over
imports—largely because of farm shipments abroad—and our
balance of payments could be stabilized by reducing some of
our economic and military spending in nations scattered all
over the world.
« « 4 * *
THE UNITED STATES HOLDS the lead in farm exports,
with more than one-fifth of the world’s agriculture shipments.
Agriculture exports now account for one-sixth of cash farm
income receipts and total more than 25 per cent of all U. S.
products sold abroad.
At the end of the last fiscal year. U. S. farm exports
totaled $6.7 billion, an increase of more than 40 per cent in
just the past six years. In fiscal 1966, farm exports earned
some $5.1 billion worth of dollar exchange. Thus it can be
seen how agricultural exports contribute significantly toward
helping to solve the balance of payments problem.
Also, the State of Georgia gets a healthy share of foreign
farm trade. In 1966, Georgias farm exports came to $108.6
million, of which some $92 million were commercial dollar
sales. Almost SBO million of the state s total exports were in
feed grains, cotton, tobacco and poultry.
GEORGIA STANDS TO PROFIT, as does the nation’s
economy, even more in the future from the expanding market
abroad for farm commodities. Our government should exert
every effort to open up new channels of trade and to find new 7
outlets for the abundant products of the farms of Georgia and
the nation.
Our trade negotiators must insist that foreign markets—
particularly in the Common Market—not be closed to U. S.
farm goods because of undue protectionism.
