Hymnal Number: 24 Author of "Living by Faith" in Old Time Glory

Hymnal Number: 24 Composer of "[I care not today what the morrow may bring]" in Old Time Glory One of the greatest testimonies of a life of faith, was that of a man by the name of J.L. Heath. Mr. Heath was a hard-working father of seven children, who worked in a steel mill in Gary, Indiana. He received a meager salary, and being the sole provider in his home, he knew from first-hand experience what it meant to live by faith. He told that there were many times he was unable to buy school clothes and shoes for his children. Many times it was even difficult to have enough money to pay the bills, and put food on the table. Yet, through it all, he trusted God, he believed God, and one day he put the feelings of his soul on paper, as he penned the blessed old hymn: LIVING BY FAITH! --www.sermonsearch.com/sermon-outlines/ ================= Jesse Lindon Heath was an early twentieth century Methodist minister.

L. B. Register

1887 - 1974 Hymnal Number: 74 Composer of "[I’ve heard of a land of joy and peace and wonderful light]" in Old Time Glory L. B. (Lonnie B.) Register lived in the Graceville, Florida area but in the country. He worked various jobs, while writing music and teaching singing schools and leading music at revivals and convention sings. A series of tragedies hit them right off the bat. Their infant daughter was born in 1916 but died very soon after birth. His main job ended and he became a rider in the turpentine woods, which was a big industry. He was a foreman, riding a horse from camp to camp checking progress and assigning work crews. Things were going fairly well. Then, tragedy. He was throwing his leg over the saddle, not knowing his scythe blade had flipped up on the other side. It went through his leg, piercing an artery and tendons. He lost use of the leg and nearly died from blood loss. While L. B. was recovering, the family lived with L.B.s father-in-law who owned a country store and also had the usual farm. They lived just south of Graceville, still basically in the town. It took an entire year to recover, strengthen and learn to walk again. During the year with his in-laws, he said he would drag himself out on the porch in the morning to see people going by and see the store. He would work on songs. It was there he put music to "I'm Going That Way". He wrote the music and his friend (they collaborated on many songs) wrote the words. It was published in the Fall if 1918. He always said that if you had to live a year with your father-in-law, you would be ready to start "Going That Way" too. From an account of his grandson, sent by his great grandson Noah Hicks
