Kenneth Stewart Patrick McDowall (NK); 17Feb55; R144815. BENSON, LOUIS P. The hymnody of the Christian church.

It was, indeed, his conviction that the body would not write poetry for a generation or two, so dry and prosaic did he find it; but at that very time his own efforts in hymnody on one side and on the other his lyric prose, almost too richly ornate for general wear, were touching new springs of feeling.
