age1 and are not afraid that any truth of science will destroy religion1 or any revolution on earth overthrow the kingdom of heaven4 ,therefore these are hymns of trust and joy and hope4 ,in the writing1 each of them has followed a familiar air1 heard in the mind2 and the names of these tunes are given4 ,but if some one with the gift of melody should compose new and better music for the hymns1 the author would be glad and grateful4 ,as they stand1 they are at the service of all who ask and receive the permission of the publishers to use them4 ,henry ,van ,dyke4 ,avalon ,march #cj1
