From a Moral Clash in Hymns and Youth
A long editorial fragment critiques Moody and Sankey hymn tunes for their modern, glossy style and advocates returning to noble, joyful hymns. It contrasts old and new church music, laments youth’s taste shaped by vaudeville tunes, and praises hymns like Be Thou My Vision and The Church's One Foundation for deeper religious feeling. It also recounts Ed Howe’s Atchison Globe anecdote about Dave Barton and Ben Winchell, arguing industry and character build true worth.
