The above hymns have had much less use in this country than in Great Britain. Nos. 7 and 10 are in the Universalist _Church Harmonies_, 1895; nos. 1 and 7 in _Hymns of the Spirit_. 1937, no. 7 in _The Hymnal_, 1940; and no. 3 in the _Isles of Shoals Hymn Book_. The others, though very acceptable expressions of the religious thought and feeling in the era in which the author lived, have now dropped out of use. J. 195-6 Revised H.W.F Chadwick, Rev. John White, Marblehead, Massachusetts, October 19, 1840—December 11, 1904, Brooklyn, New York. After two years of study at the Bridgewater Normal School, and a shorter period at Phillips Exeter Academy, he entered the Harvard Divinity School, from which he graduated in 1864. He received the degree of A.M. 1888. In December, 1864, he was ordained minister of the Second Unitarian Church, Brooklyn, where he remained until his death. He was an influential preacher and a prolific author in both prose and verse, his principal publications being a _Book of Poems_, 1876, _Nazareth Town_, 1883 (poems), the two being later combined and republished in 1888 with the earlier title; _The Bible Today_, 1879: _Old and New Unitarian Belief_, 1894; and first-rate biographies of _Theodore Parker_, 1901, and _William Ellery Channing_, 1903. After his death a small volume was published entitled _Later Poems_, 1905, and his printed sermons have been collected in 14 volumes. As a young man he became a close friend of W. C. Gannett, _q.v._, and F. L. Hosmer, _q.v._, both of whom were also born in 1840, though not his classmates in the Divinity School, and his hymns are expressions of a theological outlook similar to theirs, notably in his endeavor to give a religious interpretation to the then disputed doctrine of evolution. Although several of his hymns are of exceptionally fine quality, he often wrote in haste, lacking the patience with which his two friends sought for the precise word to convey their meaning, but he often abbreviated or re-wrote his verses at the request of hymn-book editors, or willingly accepted their proposed alterations. The result is that some of his hymns now appear in forms which depart considerably from their original texts. His secular poems, mostly the utterances of a nature lover, are often the too hastily written verse of a minor poet. His _Book of Poems_, 1888, and _Later Poems_, 1905, include all his hymns, three of which had little use, viz: 1. _A gentle tumult in the earth_, (Easter) 1876 2. _Everlasting Holy One_, (Invocation) 1875 3. _O God, we come not as of old_, (Worship) 1874 His best known hymn was written for the Visitation Day exercises at the Harvard Divinity School, 1864, 4. _Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round_,
