Cara B. Evans

1839 - 1925 Author of "The Love of Christ Constraineth" in The Cyber Hymnal Born: December 27, 1839, Ontario, Canada. Cara’s husband was Anglican cleric C. Henry James Evans. In 1881, they were living in Ste. Jerusalem, Québec. In 1901, they were living in St. Laurent, a suburb of Montréal. --www.hymntime.com/tch/ ========================== Evans, Cara (Berford). (1840--January 27, 1925, New York City). Anglican. Surviving records reveal little about her life until her arrival, in middle age, at Montreal with her husband John, a canon of the cathedral there. She about recruiting, and raising money to support, missionaries, especially for northwestern Canada; to this end she dited the Montreal section of the "Letter Leaflet," which aimed at sharing missionaries' letters with the ladies in southern Canada who were paying for them. Here her hymn "The love of Christ constraineth" appeared in 1897; its favour with her readership led to its inclusion in the 1908 and 1938 Book of Common Praise. She also edited for a time the magazine into which the "Letter Leaflet" grew, Living Message. Widowed in 1903, she eventually made her home with her daughter in New York. --Hugh D.
