Bentley Presents
Interesting Talk
Jimmy Bentley, Comptrol
ler General of Georgia, who
last summer revoked his life
long affiliation with the Demo
cratic party, spoke to Clayton
County Republicans last
Monday night in Forest Park.
The topic of his speech was
very aptly, “Why Be a Republi
can”, which gave some insight
into his own personal reasons
for switching politics.
Mr. Bentley stated that “old
line” policies had run their
time out, and the old ways of
thinking, and being led by
what had occurred in the past
without evaluating its effect on
the course of the country, or
voting for a certain party or
candidate because your parents
voted that way is over.
“Government has come as
far away from helping the in
dividual as it can and still be
called a Democracy,” he said.
“In recent years we have seen
our government become only
responsive to the masses, rather
than the person himself. If you
could go to the President or
the Governor and say, ‘1 repre
sent nine thousand gravel
diggers,’ or ‘I am here on be
half of thirty thousand long
shoremen’, then they’d listen.
This is the way the marchers,
the sit-ins, and all those dem
onstrations are geared. The
theory of all these groups is to
make impossible demands, and
to keep making them over and
over, and eventually the gov
ernment will crumble from
having so much pressure and
stress placed upon it and not
being able to meet the
demands.”
Bentley said that hopefully
the new administration in
Washington will bring the gov
ernment back to the people as
individuals, and allow the local
governmental agencies to do
more for the people. President
Nixon has already begun to
evaluate whether or not certain
agencies have performed their
desired functions, and if he
finds they have not, he will
dispense with these, as should
be done. “This is just good
business sense,” Bentley said.
In his own position he has
noted some duplication of serv
ices and has tried to find ways
to economize in the state gov
ernment, such as depositing the
incoming revenue immediately.

Ifi . ’A Hymn 3s Bern 02 Q
BY CLINT J BONNER 1
Praise Father, Son And Holy Ghost
The Most Widely Sung Christian Verse Ever Written
Colleges in England were filled with
roughnecks and Winchester College was no
exception. The Roman Church and the
Church of England were at such odds that,
when the Lord’s Prayer was said at Oxford,
the vice chancellor sat down and put on
his hat. But little orphan student Thomas
Ken thought it ought not to be that way.
Put through Winchester by his step
brother-in-law, Ken went to Oxford for his
degree, entered the Anglican ministry and
came back to Winchester as chaplain.
To encourage worship at his alma mater.
Chaplain Ken wrote a book he called
“Manual of Prayers.” In his manual he
admonished the boys to “be sure and sing
early in the morning and in the night sea
son.” That was in 1667, but by 1674 the
students were not singing early in the
morning and in the night season, so Ken
wrote three hymns and inserted copies into
each manual. His “Morning Hymn” began:
"Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Thy daily stage of duty run;
Shake off dull sloth, and early rise
To pay thy morning sacrifice.”
Thirteen stanzas followed. The last one
read:
"Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Praise Him all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye angelic host,
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.”
Chaplain Ken’s “Evening Hymn” opened:
Glory to Thee, my God, this night
For all the blessings of the light ...”
From the book “A Hymn Is Born." ' 1959 by Broadman Press, Nashville, Tenn.
so it can be drawing interest as
soon as it’s received, instead of
holding all the checks for a
weekly deposit, as was done in
the past.

It closed with the same verse as the
Morning Hymn . . . “Praise God from
whom all blessings flow, etc.” And. for
those students who might awake in the
night. Chaplain Ken wrote a five-stanza
“Midnight Hymn.” It also concluded with
“Praise God from whom all blessings flow
. . ~ etc.”
There are other doxologies, but it is
claimed that this verse has been sung more
than any other four lines ever written.
The music is a secular tune that was first
used for Christian worship in 1551 to the
singing of the 134th Psalm. In 1560 it was
sung to the 100th Psalm, and has been
known ever since as “Old Hundred.”
The hymn, “Awake My Soul, and With
the Sun.” found in many current hymnals,
is a selection of verses from Thomas Ken’s
“Morning Hymn.” But it is the single
closing verse of his three hymns (with only
the change of the word “angelic” to “heav
enly”) that has carried his name through
the centuries.
Ken spent his last 20 years in poverty.
When he died at 74, in 1711. his earthly
possessions totaled one lute and one worn
out horse. Conforming with his request,
the six poorest men in the parish carried
his body to the grave. There was no pomp
. . . no ceremony. He wanted it that way.
As the sun rose, his friends, the poor peo
ple. lowered the casket and sang:
‘Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye angelic host,
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost."

marks and his speech was well
liked.
