Democratic Sentinel, Volume 20, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 May 1896 — “Old Hundred." [ARTICLE]

“Old Hundred."

“Old Hundred” first appeared ’in print, so far as it known, in the “Genevan Psalter,” published in 1551, where it was set to Psalm cxxxiv. When this book made its way to England and was printed there this melody was set to Psalm e., and when a new edition appeared, tunes that were retained from the former were designated “old,” to distinguish them from such as had been added. Much significance is naturally attached to the confession of a woman that she has purchased a brick of glittering brass. The incident shows the proud upward march of the sex to that plain on which man is supposed to stand, superior and enviable—San Francisco Examiner. Not only to the God that is above ns, but to the God that is in us, let us direct our prayer; and to that God let our Importunity be such that, like the man of the parable crying for bread at midnight, it cannot, will Dot, be de nied.—John Chadwick,
