Words Are Message Of Hymn, Not Tune By CLAIRE COX United Press International New York-IUPD-The hymn has become a sociological message of the church as well as a source of spiritual up lift. Instead of simply being sentimental or expressing a scriptural thought, hymns to day deal with patriotism, city or rural life, youth, edu-. cation, social welfare and other timely topics. This trend toward making the words rung in church "count," is the work of the Hymn society of America, founded 40 years ago by a group of lay people interested in providing better hymns and music. From five mem bers, the society has grown to 1,800 in every state and 20 foreign countries. Many persons mistakenly believe the hymn is both the words and music. This is not the case. The hymn is the words only. The music is known as the "tune." There are cases in which many hymns have been set to the same tune so that what often appears to be a familiar song hap new words. The society, in an official history of its activities, ha reported on 16 "quests" for new hymns "appropriate for the new days and conditions in which the Christian church finds itself." The "quests' have produced more than 100 new texts that have been in corporated into recently pub lished hymnals-. The society's first major work was the "hymn for air men" written after Charles A. Lindbergh's 1927 flight across the Atlantic. A prize of $100 was awarded Miss May Rowland of Eastbourne. England, for her hymn, which was one of more than 1,200 texts submitted. Since our recent opening date the natura of many inquiries suggest that a clarification of our service is advisable. Because we are new in concept, as compared to the established de finition of a nursing home, it is understandable that our function as a medical care facility is not generally familiar. Our service includes a superior level of the complete range of nursing home care. Basically, we differ from the facility which specializes in care of the aged through having com bined with this function a complete physical therapy depart ment. This expands considerably the scope of service pro vided. Our rates do not exceed those of the conventional nursing home. Rates include meals and all supplies and materials necessary to patient care except medications, physical therapy, X-Ray "and medical laboratory charges. This information is offered in response to inquiries most often made.
