3 Day is Dying in the West Mary Artemesia Lathbury ( ) Mary was brn in New Yrk t devut Christian parents. Her father was a preacher, and later her tw brthers als became preachers in the Methdist Church. Mary discvered that she had talent fr drawing and writing petry. As a little girl, she lved t write pems and illustrate the pages n which they were written. Mary said she heard a vice ne day that she believed was Gd. He said t her, Remember, my child, that yu have a gift f weaving fancies int verse and a gift with the pencil f prducing visins that cme t yur heart. Cnsecrate these t Me as thrughly as yu d yur inmst spirit. And that is what she did. As the years passed, the multi-talented Miss Lathbury taught art in varius schls and then became assciate editr f The Methdist Episcpal Sunday Schl papers. She cntributed much t these magazines and bks fr children. This jb led her t becme invlved in the beginnings f the Chautauqua mvement lcated at a frmer Methdist campgrund n the shre f Lake Chautauqua in New Yrk. Begun in 1874, Chautauqua was a ten-week adult educatin prgram held each summer. There were lectures, cncerts and ther high-class entertainment. She attended the sessins fr years, regularly respnding t requests t write hymns fr the Chautauqua prgrams. She became knwn as the Laureate f Chautauqua. One time her bss, Jhn Vincent, asked her t write a study hymn fr the Chautauqua grup. Day Is Dying in the West was the result. It was first sung August 5, 1877, at the utdr evening wrship. First, it was played as a crnet duet; then it was sung as a sl by Mr. Sherwin, wh had written the music. Finally, it was sung by the chir, directed by Sherwin. The chir members were all in bats a shrt distance frm the shre. Try t imagine the scene as the sun set with the beautiful sunds f Isaiah 6:3 drifting acrss the water: Hly, Hly, Hly is the Lrd f hsts, the whle earth is full f His glry. This stry is tld by Cathy O Bryant in her bk Ging In and Out My Windw (XLibris Crp, 2011):...family wrship always began by us singing, Day Is Dying in the West. We kids thught the sng was s bring that we giggled thrugh the sng. We never knew r felt the impact f that family wrship hur until we were grwn. Nr did we realize its effect n ur neighbrhd friends. Then a friend tld her that when they were visiting the beautiful island f Jamaica with Cathy s sister, she brke int singing this hymn as the sun set n Friday evening. T everyne s surprise the rest began singing with her, and fund they knew all the wrds! Cathy s friend said that she searched Baptist and Methdist hymnals and fund the sng nly in the Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal.
