Excerpt from Biography of Gospel Song and Hymn Writers While books of biography of men and women in different vocations of life are numerous, including not a few biographical volumes of the old Master Musicians, the present volume is, so far as the author is aware, the first distinctive book of biography to be published of the men and women whose gospel songs and hymns have thrilled the hearts of innumerable hosts, and kindled the fire of the great evangelistic movement all over the world. The author found that to insert all the worthy names of gospel song and hymn writers in a single volume would make it too bulky; it is hoped it ma}r be possible to follow this work with a second volume. Beginning with Dr. Lowell Mason, the writer has endeavored to give a sketch and portrait of leading representatives of gospel song and hymn writers up to the present time. It is but natural that people should wish to know something of the lives, and be pleased to see the portraits of the composers whose songs and hymns have brought joy, peace and comfort to their hearts. It is confidently anticipated that the reading of these brief sketches will add new life and power to the gospel in song.
