FOREWORD Gospel Recordings is a synonym for Gospel Miracles. A young missionary, too ill to return to her field in Latin America, had a call from God to send out some gospel records in Spanish, which might be used in places where missionaries could not go, or could not stay. Now these gospel records are pouring out at a rate that will soon reach half a million, and they are going out now in four hundred languages George Mueller said that one p...

PREFACE HIS book axes its origin to a request made a year or two ago by the editor of the Hull Church Porch that I would write a series of weekly articles dealing with old Hull organists and the instruments on which they played. A number of these had duly appeared, when I found myself obliged to discontinue them, not from lack of material, but from lack of time. I have been repeatedly requested to complete the work, and to issue it in a more p...

INTRODUCTION The following chapters are the outgrowth of an enthusiasm for the work of voice training, together with a deep personal interest in a large number of conscientious young men and women who have gone out of my studio into the world to engage in the responsible work of voice teaching. The desire to be of service to them has prompted me to put in permanent form the principles on which I Iabored, more or less patiently, to ground them ...

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION WHEN I walked through the Omaha Exposition grounds one hot day in September of 1898, on my way to the encampment of the Indian Congress, I found it difficult to realize that only fifty years before, the ground where Omaha now stands had been a camping place for Indians and that only twenty- five years ago, Nebraska, one hundred and fifty miles west of Omaha, had been a country dangerous to pass through, because the...

PREFACE. I FEEL that the printing of my lectures brings with it a certain difficulty. Lectures intended to be read within the Museum, with a continual reference, implied and often expressed, to the place, the objects gathered within it and their associations, must have had a certain fifaess which will be more or less diminished when they come to be read under different conditions. Moreover, they were written and spoken with an idea always pres...
