An Advent Hymn and Professor Kunze
By Editor
Is there some one among our readers who can send to this Office the words of the old advent hymn one stanza of which reads as follows?— "We have passed the coast of Babylon
and Medo-Persia's line,
We have left the coast of Grecia far
behind;
We've been sailing down the Roman
shore for eighteen hundred years,
And our chant declares the port we
soon shall find."
Some of the pioneers may be able to furnish this hymn from memory, or others may have it in print. WE were surprised and shocked last Friday to receive the following telegram from Lincoln, Neb.:— Prof. August Kunze died Thursday evening. Particulars later.
C. C. LEWIS. Professor Kunze has been connected with Union College for about three years as instructor in "German, rhetoric, Bible, and history," and has been highly esteemed. His death will be mourned by many. We shall publish a suitable sketch of his life and work in this cause in a later issue. Up to the time of going to press, we have received no further particulars concerning his last illness.
