that would provide two things—
Constantly Ab id ing Words and music by Mrs. William H. Murphy
At one time the Murphy family was quite wealthy, operating the largest poteries in Ohio. Mrs. W ill Murphy used her wealth and influence in the service of. Christ. She had many tal ents, — as a musician, singer, and public speaker, — and used them very effectively in gospel work. “ Constantly Abiding,” which she wrote in 1908, reveals her enthusiasm and deep con fidence in the Lord. The economic depression of 1929 led to the total loss of the family’s busi ness and wealth, resulting in the death of Mrs. Murphy’s husband. Stripped of worldly possessions, she spent her closing years with relatives in Bur bank, California, where she died of a heart ailment, March 30, 1942. A few months before her death this writer enjoyed a visit with her, finding that in spite of severe testings she main tained unusual serenity and inward peace, actually putting into practice the message of her song, “ Constantly Abiding.” Good N igh t and Good Morn ing Words by Lizzie DeArmond Music by Homer Rodeheaver Mrs. DeArmond, of Swartmore, Pennsylvania, was grieving over the death of her daughter. In the midst of her grief she seemed to be conscious of the Lord’s voice, “ Just as surely as you have had to say ‘good night’ here to your daughter, you will be able to say ‘good morning’ up there, after a while!” With that thought she was comforted, and, as a result, wrote the poem which was later set to music by Homer Rodeheaver. Incidentally, Rodeheaver sang this song some time afterwards at Mrs. DeArmond’s funeral, and also at the funeral of Billy Sunday. Strange to say, it was one of the two songs sung at the funeral of the notorious gang ster, John Dillinger. When in Southern California, attend the Mon day Nite Musicals with Phil Kerr held in the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. Also the second Sunday of each month at Biola in La Mirada.
