Everett, Grace W. Hymn treasures. $1.25. Meth. bk.
It is the aim of this book to bring to light some of the hidden treasures of hymnody and to show their worth. From the Magnificat and the Benedictus sung by Mary and Zacharias, respectively, to the very modern songs, the author writes interestingly about the makers of hymns and their contributions.
Ewald, Carl. [My little boy]; tr. from the Danish by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos. **$1. Scribner.
“Not often does the father of a little boy write his biography so humorously, tenderly and sympathetically as does Carl Ewald, in telling the story of his little son. The two are comrades, bound together by many common interests and pursuits.... The little boy ... teaches his father a few lessons, altho the wise man needs fewer than most parents; and the little lad learns many lessons, as all boys and girls must.... He must be taught strict honesty, and respect for the rights of others. The father teaches these things as well as many others, truthfulness, fidelity to a trust or to a promise, the cruelty of race prejudice, in a way of his own, which is always sympathetic and respectful of a child’s feelings.”—Ind.
“It is the sweetest biography we remember.”
