Fanny Cro«by'« Memcry.
The blind hymn writer, Fanpy Cros
by, who Immortalized herself with
"Safe In the Anns of Jesus," was ca
pable of the most amazing exhibitions
of "inability to forget"
On one occasion she contracted to
supply a publisher with ninety hymns.
She composed forty-five of these, sim
ply storing them in her memory with
out committing a word to paper. When
she had finished the forty-fifth she be
gan to dictate them, going right through
without a pause. She then did the
same with the other forty-five.—London
