I love learning "new" songs from them, love just having them around as tried-and-true companions. I like to think of all the years they must have spent in pew-pockets...maybe they bring church-grace with them! I even love the little-kid scribbles on the end papers (though WE were not allowed to do that! :-). True, I hate to see any book slaughtered; we were taught to greatly respect the knowledge contained within, the efforts and intent of the authors and publishers, and to greatly value our ability and freedom to read. This is an extreme case of shallow, disrespectful trivializing of what contains the sacred.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19392351.post-83239088849972844422009-12-25T11:35:40.267-06:002009-12-25T11:35:40.267-06:00Oh dear. . .

I have a small collection and it is very interesting to note some hymns that aren't in the new hymnals. Great for learning the old ones our grandparents used to sing. I also just enjoy reading them as poetry.

I think if people are going to cut books, they'd better do it in a way that is beautiful. This doesn't fit the bill.Lauryl Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05774684842995585427noreply@blogger.com
