Mrs. Lois Bailey Reporter PO 6-1789 JU Huron Js Barn $ Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life A City Preacher Writes a Hymn About the City On£ day in 1903, Dr. Frank Mason North walked into Methodist headquarters in New York City. Preceding the noted clergyman. Prof. Caleb T. Winchester, of the Methodist Hymnal Commission, had called to see about the publishing of the new hymnal he was working on. Discussing the book with Dr. North, Winchester commented that it was lacking in missionary hymns. Then a thought struck him. Dr. North had written a num ber of poems. He was editor of a church periodical. He was corresponding secre tary for the New York City Missionary and Church Extension Society and he had visited many foreign lands. Before Dr. North had time to collect his wits he was trying to explain that he was not a hymn writer. Sure, he had written some poetry. And he had been close to missionary work of his church. But that didn’t make him a hymn writer. Finally, he passed the sub ject off by promising to keep the request in mind. Frank Mason North was born in New York City. Except for pastorates in neigh boring towns, he had spent his life in the great metropolis. He had worked in mis sions on the East Side and he had smelled the stench of the slums. Missionary hymn? Where cross the crowded ways of life, Where sound the cries of race and clan, Above the noise of selfish strife, We hear Thy voice. O Son of Man! In haunts of wretchedness and need, On shadowed thresholds dark with fears, From paths where hide the lures of greed, We catch the vision of Thy tears. The cup of water given for Thee Still holds the freshness of Thy grace; Bgwfg|^^ j^\ O r/>F^.

Missionary hymns were written about hea thens in faraway jungles. But right there in New York, right under his very eyes. Frank Mason North had seen humanity as much in need of missionary aid as the most illiterate heathen in the most obscure cor ner of the earth. “I spent days and weeks and years in close contact with the multi tudes, Dr. North once said. And he was familiar with “the tragedy of the jostling, moving currents of life” on the streets and “crossings of the avenues.” A missionary hymn about some faraway land? Dr. North turned to Matthew 22:9, “Go ye therefore unto the patting of the highways. He had preached a sermon on that text a few Sundays before. Sure, he would write a missionary hymn for the new hymnal. But it wouldn’t be about Africa or Burma, or India, or China. It would be about New York and Paris and Chicago and London—great cities where church steeples pierce the sky. So Frank Mason North wrote his missionary hymn. He published it in “The Christian City” of which he was editor. Then he gave it to Prof. Winchester. It went into the Method ist hymnal of 1905 and has been included in nearly every Protestant hymnal since. Yet long these multitudes do see The sweet compassion of Thy face. O Master from the mountain side, Make haste to heal those hearts of pain; Among these restless throngs abide, Oh, tread the city's streets again; Till sons of men shall learn Thy love, And follow where Thy feet have trod; Till glorious, from Thy heaven above, Shall come the city of our God.
