Many of these hymns, or Psalms, have very good words, and the melodies are hauntingly beautiful. When I look at their faces, I see the meaning of the hymns reflected in their eyes. They are honest and not proud. They are very open with each other in telling their faults, and yet they don't seem to take offense, or become defensive. They want to be righteous.
Politeness takes second place to honesty.
They truly love the Lord and wish to be pleasing to Him. But, they do believe and practice consecration. They have no fear of hearing something different than they have heard before. They have faith that God will direct them to truth. More than one brother or sister has hidden the volumes in their home, to only be read in private.
