Walter C. Smith
1824 - 1908 Person Name: Walter Chalmers Smith, 1824-1908 Author of "One thing I of the Lord desire" in The Hymnary of the United Church of Canada Smith, Walter Chalmer, D.D., was born at Aberdeen Dec. 5, 1824, and educated at the Grammar School and University of that City. He pursued his Theological studies at Edinburgh, and was ordained Pastor of the Scottish Church in Chad well Street, Islington, London, Dec. 25, 1850. After holding several pastorates he became, in 1876, Minister of the Free High Church, Edinburgh. His contributions to poetical literature have been many and of great merit. His principal works are:—
(1) The Bishop's Walk, 1860; (2) Olrig Grange, 1872; (3) Borland Hall, 1874; (4) Hilda among the Broken Gods, 1878; (5) North Country Folk, 1883; (6) Kildrostan, 1884; (7) Hymns of Christ and Christian Life, 1876.
From his Hymns of Christ, &c, 1876, the following, after revision, were included in Horder's Congregational Hymns, 1884 :—
1. Immortal, Invisible, God only wise. God, All in All.
2. Lord, God, Omnipotent. Omnipotence.
3. Our portion is not here. Treasure in Heaven.
4. There is no wrath to be appeased. God is Love. In Horder's Congregational Hymns a new opening stanza was added to this hymn by Dr. Smith at the request of the editor, and in that collection the hymn begins "I vexed me with a troubled thought."
Dr. Smith's hymns are rich in thought and vigorous in expression. They deserve and probably will receive greater notice than hitherto at the hands of hymnal compilers. [Rev. W. Garrett Horder]

2. Jesus, unto Whom we pray. Christ the Way.

Annie Matheson
1853 - 1924 Author of "From fretful care and worldly strife" in Common Praise Matheson, Annie, eldest daughter of Rev. James Matheson, Congregational Minister, of Nottingham, was born at Blackheath, March, 1853, and resided at Notting Hill, London. She died in 1924.
At an early age she showed considerable literary ability, her first hymn, "Jesus, the children are calling," being composed when she was only 13 years old. This hymn, attracting the attention of Dr. George MacDonald, was introduced by him to the notice of the editor of Good Words, who inserted it in that magazine, as a "Hymn by a Child." In 1869 appeared "I am weak and weary, Lord," and from that time Miss Matheson was a frequent contributor to Good Words, Macmillan, The Spectator, St. Nicholas, and other magazines, both English and American. Her illustrated book for children, Margaret's Year Book, containing twelve poems from her pen, was published in 1887.
The following are the best known of Miss Matheson's hymns:—
1. Dear Master, what can children do? Children as Workers for Christ.
2. How shall we worship Thee, O Lord? Divine Worship.
3. I am weak and weary, Lord. Divine Strength desired.
4. Jesus, the children are calling. Children's Prayer to Christ.
5. Lord, when we have not any light. Evening.
6. O little birds, that all day long. God's Love to all Creatures.
7. The little snowdrops rise. Easter.
8. When through life's dewy fields we go. Comfort in God's Presence.
Of these hymns, Nos, 5, 6, and 7 were written for W. E. Stevenson's School Hymnal, 1880; and Nos. 1 and 2 for a Harvest Festival about 1882.
Miss Matheson's hymns are characterised by a pleasing combination of simplicity and refinement, both of thought and expression.
[Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M.A.]

William J. Kirkpatrick
1838 - 1921 Composer of "IN MEMORIUM" in 生命聖詩 - Hymns of Life, 1986 William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia.
