Excerpt from Hymns That Are Immortal: With Some Account of Their Authorship, Origin, History and Influence
The preparation of Hymns that are Immortal was undertaken as a result of studies pursued by the author in the fulfillment of duties imposed upon him by his appointment to serve on a committee on hymn-book revision, and also from a conviction that there is a field for its circulation within which it will accomplish much good.
The compilation of the hymns it contains, and of the historical, biographical, explanatory and illustrative information regarding them, should be of interest to all Christians, and of particular interest and helpfulness to pastors, evangelists, lay preachers, Sunday-school superintendents and teachers, and gospel workers in general. One special aim in the production of the work has been that of making it practically helpful to these classes.
The book has not been written, however, for the foregoing classes exclusively or chiefly.
