conserving words and music that ought to have gone to oblivion. Yet though the fields of secular and religious song are very different, the outstanding types and the drift of development are quite comparable. Three hymns of Timothy Dwight, Ray Palmer, and Oliver Wendell Holmes are broadly representative of tendencies up to 1860. Dwight's contribution, I love Thy kingdom, Lord, belongs to the period of Hail Columbia (which is sometimes wrongly ascribed to him), and is involved in the theole eye, And graven on Thy hand, and after the Calvinistic prospect of death in the third, it rises to a tone of solemn and hopeful self-dedication; and, set to the eighteenth-century tune St. Thomas, it becomes an austere but not unlovely choral. Palmer's My faith looks up to Thee (1830) is strictly orthodox in its theology, representing life as a vale of tears, a period of durance before an ultimate ransom; but in its way it has reinforced the faith of millions who are no less indebted to its s

Freely, now, to Thee I proffer This relenting heart of mine; Freely life and soul
