Heber surpasved Milton, and even Dr, Watts Is to be preferred to Byron in this branch of ure, in which subtlety 1s out of ‘and alluglveness appears ineifec- tual. That is no reason, however, why the literary qualities of hymns should disregarded by the compilers, Thoir first purpose 1s to appeal to the de- yotional emotions of the ayerage man, and a certain “obylousness" may there- fore be permissible and even desirable: ‘but this quality need not be carried to che point of offending cultivated tastes.
