Great Hymns Of The Faith "Some Day The Silver Cord Will Break" ("Save By Grace") Fanny Crosby, 1820-1915 "I cannot see the sunset, but some day I shall see my Saviour face to face," exclaimed Fanny Crosby. This was her reply to Dr. L. W. Munhall's glowing description of the sunset, after a service of the Poughkeepsie camp meeting. Dr. Munhall, the great Methodist layman evangelist, was my traveling companion motoring from Ocean Grove, NJ, camp meeting when he told me the experience which gave birth to this hymn. Seated on the hotel porch, he painted with colorful adjectives and skillful touch to the blind Fanny Crosby, the deepening glory of the changing sunset. He depicted the roseate hues and shafting lights with accurate phrase, hoping to have her see it, even as he saw it: but she was seeing beyond

I am a missionary, heart and soul. I am ready to go anywhere - provided it be forward. I would venture everything for Christ. Can the love of Christ not carry the missionary where the slave trade carries the trader? I shall open up a path into the interior or perish. I wish only that my exertions may be honored so far that the gospel may be preached and believed in all this dark region." "Jesus sai

Great Hymns Of The Faith          The stories of great hymns provide the inspiration behind many of the messages. Who is not blessed in hearing how God wonderfully lead one writer and another to pen the lines that have been sung throughout the years? "Let Jesus Come Into Your Heart"          Lelia N. Morris, 1862-1929          An altar service, the kneeling penitent, the praying intercessors, helping a seeking soul to find Christ, mark the unforgettable scene when "Let Jesus Come Into Your Heart" was born.          Here is drama, deeply- moving and soul stirring.

Moody was, at one time, in a southern city preaching about the value of the Word of God in a person's life. Suddenly he was interrupted by the loud voice of a man in the audience.          "Mr. Moody, I do not believe a single word in that collection of old wives' tales you call your Bible!"         "My dead man", replied Mr. Moody, "there is one verse in this Bible that your are forced to believe," Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" ( Galatians 6:7 ) For example, he sows drunkards, and he will reap drunkards". The man sat down his whole family were drunkards.
