Excerpt from The Romance of Women Hymn Writers Besides the enjoyment which The Romance pro vides for all who read it, I must offer a sincere tribute of admiration and appreciation. To me the reading of the ms. Has meant an enrichment of mind, and it has enhanced my estimate of the ministry of those women who, as is so strikingly set forth, have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to wed the deepest spiritual realities to the most delightful flow of rhythm. By his unique presentation of a great subject, the author has proved his right to a place amongst those hymnologists whose contributions have added to the value of the Church's treasures. Earnestly and confidently I commend the ro' mance OF women hymn writers, feeling sure that it will make a wide appeal to the Christian public and bring honour and glory to the Lord.
