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. For more complete details call 773-7711, or write to:
