Pray, Lewis Glover, Quincy, Massachusetts, August 15, 1793—October 9, 1882, Roxbury, Massachusetts. He was a business man in Boston, active in civic and church affairs. For 33 years he was superintendent of the Sunday School in the Twelfth Congregational Society of Boston. In 1833 he published a _Sunday School Hymn Book_, the first book containing music published for Sunday Schools in New England. It appeared in enlarged form in 1844 as the _Sunday School Hymn and Service Book_. In 1847 he published his _History of Sunday Schools_. His own hymns and poems were published in 1862 as _The Sylphids’ School_, and in a second volume, _Autumn Leaves_, 1873. Most of them are songs for Sunday School use rather than hymns for the church service but one of them, from _The Sylphids’ School_, beginning _When God upheaved the pillared earth_, was included in _Hymns of the Ages_. 3^d Series, 1864. J. 906 H.W.F. Prince, Rev. Thomas, D.D., Sandwich, Massachusetts, May 15, 1687—October 22, 1758, Boston, Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard in 1707. After voyages to Barbadoes and a stay of several years in England he returned to Boston and in 1717 was ordained as colleague of Rev. Joseph Sewall, minister of the Old South Church. His career was marked by frequent controversies and by his _Chronological History of New England_, based on his great collection of rare documents dating from the early years of the Colony. This priceless collection was unfortunately dispersed and much of it lost after his death. During his ministry the Tate and Brady version of the Psalms was gradually replacing the _Bay Psalm Book_ in New England, but his parishioners clung to the old book. He persuaded them to let him revise it, which he did, improving or modernizing the verse and printing after the Psalms “an addition of Fifty other Hymns on the most important subjects of Christianity.” It included one hymn by himself beginning _With Christ and all his shining Train_ _Of Saints and Angels, we shall rise_ (The Resurrection) His collection was published in 1758 and was first used in the Old South Meeting House on the Sunday following his death. Its use there continued for another 30 years, but it was not adopted elsewhere, the _Bay Psalm Book_ being by that time generally superseded by collections of _Watts and Select_. H.W.F.
