—Mrs. Roland O. Downing
Publicity Chairman
The trouble with easy jobs
is that they don’t last long.
PROBABLY AT NO OTHER time have the problems of
America's cities come more into the forefront of public atten
tion.
There are of course many reasons for this, including the
tact that about 6 out of every 10 people live in an urban area
and this centralization is steadily increasing even more.
Also, the financial and social strains on metropolitan areas
today are a constant source of municipal headaches. And, of
course, the rioting in numerous cities this summer has made
people more conscious of urban problems.
* * *
IT HAS LONG BEEN one of the paradoxes of our times
that in this land of plenty and great opportunity, there is much
poverty and unemployment. And most of these unfortunate con
ditions are concentrated in our cities.
A recent Labor Department study of unemployment showed
that one-third of the nation's 3 million people without jobs are
centered in the country’s 20 largest metropolitan areas. Almost
half of the families in ghettos are on some kind of public welfare.
The study also pointed out that unemployment and poverty
are caused more by personal handicaps than by the country’s
overall economic condition. Primarily it can be traced to inferior
education, lack of job skills, and a general need for schooling
and training in order to equip people to meet today’s employment
demands.
* * *
THUS, OUR LARGE CITIES are plagued by hard cores
of poverty, poor housing, and unemployment. And as yet, no
sure way has been found to meet this problem effectively.
Billions upon billions have been spent, and a vast array of
federal programs have been devised, some of which are of
dubious value and some which are accomplishing some note
worthy goals, particularly those which emphasize job training.
Many of these worthwhile programs will be continued and ex
panded, and hopefully more progress will be made.
One other thought comes to mind. A large part of this
situation is due to the migration, for which there seems no
letup, from farms and rural areas to the huge, industrial city.
Many people are just not able to keep up.
We could go a long way toward easing some of the pres
sures on our cities by taking steps and encouraging industry to
create more non-farm jobs in rural areas.

ifiZOA Hymn Js a
BY CLINT A BONNER
Saviour, Like A Shepherd Lead Us
Composers of Music Due Much Credit
“I have seen vast audiences melted by a
simple hymn,” wrote Singer Ira D. Sankey.
And many a hymn that otherwise would
have been short lived has been made im
mortal by those little-sung artisans of the
keyboard . . . the composers.
The church owes an everlasting debt to
Lowell Mason, the bank clerk who quit his
job in Savannah, Ga., more than a century
and a quarter ago and went to Boston to
organize choirs, teach music, publish song
books and compose hymn tunes so inspir
ing as to start a new era in church singing.
Many are the audiences that have “melted”
to the strains of Lowell Mason’s music to
“Nearer, My God To Thee” . . . “There
Is A Fountain Filled With Blood,” and
“My Faith Looks Up To Thee.”
In his choir work, Mason picked up a
poor lad named William Bradbury and
made of him an accomplished organist and
composer. Bradbury in turn encouraged
Fanny Crosby to devote her talents to writ
ing songs for the church and, while the
blind poet dictated, Bradbury took down
the first of Fanny Crosby’s nearly 9,000
hymns. And it was Mason’s pupil, William
Bradbury, who taught poverty-stricken
Philip Bliss to write songs such as “Almost
Persuaded,” “Wonderful Words Os Life”
Saviour, like a shepherd lead us.
Much we need Thy render care;
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,
For our use Thy folds prepare;
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Thou has bought us, Thine we are;
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Thou has bought us, Thine wo are.
Wo are Thine; do Thou befriend us.
Be the Guardian of our way;
Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us.
Seek us when we go astray;
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Hear, O hear us when we pray;
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Hear, O hoar us when we pray.
From the book “A Hymn Is Born.” 1959 by Broadman Press, Nashville, Tenn.
Dirksen to Be GOP Speaker
The last of America’s
golden voice political orators
is arriving in Atlanta
shortly.
Republican State Head
quarters reports Senator
Everett Dirksen of Illinois is
spraying his throat with
excelsior of peaches in prep
aration for the major ad
dress, which he will give at
the Regency Hyatt House,
October 26.
The Wits End Players are
polishing their satirical pro
gram which will set the
stage for the hundreds of
Republicans, who will gather
at the 8:30 fund raising din
ner to honor the minority
leader of the United States
Senate.
Midnight oil is burning at
Republican Headquarters at
1430 W. Peachtree as scores
of enthusiastic volunteers
hum the senator’s latest re
cording while stuffing let
ters with tickets for the gala
evening.
"Bo” Callaway, program
chairman and Mrs. Robert
Ferst, dinner chairman, re
ported today that tickets are
being sold throughout the
state by county chairmen
and local Republican organ
ization.
Earl Patton, Fulton Coun
ty chairman, will act as
master of ceremonies for the
and “Let The Lower Lights Be Burning”
while Bliss was becoming one of the great
est gospel singers who ever lived.
William Batchelder Bradbury never saw'
an organ until he moved with his parents
from York, Maine, to Boston in 1830 when
he was 14 years old. Under Mason’s tutor
ing he became choirmaster of New York’s
Baptist Tabernacle and was soon writing
music for such hymns as “Sweet Hour Os
Prayer” . . . “He Leadeth Me,” “On Christ
The Sold Rock I Stand.” and one that has
melted a thousand audiences . . . “Just As
I Am Without One Plea.”
And so, while homage is paid the poet,
no less tribute is due the noble composers
whose music has helped make immortal the
verse of many a poet. It was in 1859 that
William Bradbury came upon the follow
ing poem. It might have been written by
the Rev. Henry F. Lyte, author of “Abide
With Me.” Some attribute it to Dorothy
Ann Thrupp, in whose book the unsigned
verses first appeared. Some hymnals pub
lish the song with no name of the authpr
but, whoever the poet, it was William
Bradbury who set the words to music and
gave the church another great hymn be
fore he died at the age of 52 in 1868.
Thau hast promised fa receive us,
Foor and sinful though we be;
Thou hast mercy to relieve us,
Grace to cleanse, and power to free;
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Early let us tum to Thee;
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Early let us tum to Thee.
Early let us seek Thy favor.
Early let us do Thy will;
Blessed lord and only Saviour,
With Thy love our bosoms fill;
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still;
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still.
