HISTORY AND MESSAGE OF HYMNS

Elgin Press, Elgin, Illinois, 1924, 1^st Edition.  Hard cover, 242 pages including Indexes.  Very good; brown boards with gilt lettering and cross on front board, faded and chipped gilt lettering on spine, some rubs/discolouration on front board.  Boards have a bit of corner and spine end wear; binding with headbands cracked in areas with all pages secure; a few spots on outer page block.  Decorative paste-downs and end papers; prior owner’s label on front paste-down.  Remainder of interior clean and unmarked with occasional smudge/age spot.  ‘The analysis or unfolding of the content of some of the hymns, in brief statements of truth involved, is intended to awaken a more significant interest in the study and interpretation of the text, thus leading to a fuller recognition of their spiritual riches and soul-winning power, so that God, the Father, may be glorified, Jesus Christ, the Son, exalted, and the Holy Spirit gain entrance into human hearts.’ (from Prelude)
