Excerpt from The Oberlin Alumni Magazine, Vol. 24: April 1928
There has been a similar broad and critical scrutiny of the melodies to which the poems are set. The editor has retained a large number of the standard tunes found in the best song books of the various denominations, which have become embedded in the tradition of the churches of England and America. To these have been added compositions of present com posers of high standing, so recent that the previous books do not con tain them. Among these are gems of musical expression which need to be heard once to be ever after he loved. A very striking feature is the number of recent poets whose names appear.
This hasty summary is enough to show that this unique volume is more than a hymnal in the ordinary sense of the word. Some of the songs are not religious in the usual strict con notation, as for example, Stevenson's.
