Why Use
Christmas Seals?
Why does your tuberculosis
association ask you to “U s e
Christmas Seals on all your
holiday letters and packages’’?
Because these brightly-col
ored little stickers help to re
mind others that their help is
needed too.
Because the happy family
scene depicts the gift of good
health which everyone should
share.
Because no home is safe un
til all homes are safe.
When you use Christmas
I Seals on your mail, you add a
no.te of good cheer and a note
of serious purpose as well.
These Seals are traditional ex
pressions of community spirit,
of the help we all give each
j other.
Christmas Seals work for
you and your friends and fam
| ily all through the
year. They help to find people
■ who have TB and don’t know it,
i to pay for research in preven
i tion and treatment. They help
i in education and in rehabilita
j tion, in finding and closing the
Jgaps in TB control.
"Old Rugged Cross" Is
Nation's Favorite Hymn
“The Old Rugged Cross” still
is America’s favorite hymn.
More than 61,000 newspaper
readers from coast to coast vot
ed in the recent National
Newspapers Hymn Poll and
10,482 of them chose “The Old
Rugged Cross”, a vivid hymn
which describes the tradition
al meaning of the Cross, as
their dearest religious song.
Bill McVey, the Christian
Herald Gospel Singer, who di
rected the survey to determine
the hymns America loves best,
and Audience Analysts, Inc.,
Bala-Cynwyd. Pa., the inde
pendent research organization
which tabulated votes from
readers of more than 1.000
newspapers, reported that
“How Great Thou Art” was a
close second to “The Old Rug
ged Cross.”
“How Great Thou Art”, a
dynamic gospel song describ
ing God’s omnipotence, re
ceived 8.449 votes. Audience
Analysts said this large vote
doubtless was due to the song's
nopularity at hymn sings across
the country. “How Great Thou
Art”, a favorite selection of
baritone McVey and Billy
Graham, was fourth in last
year's Christian Herald hymn
poll and McVey attributed part
of its current popularity to its
moving evangelistic feeling
and strong melody.
Third National Favorite
The third favorite hymn dis
closed by the National News
papers Hymn Poll was “What
A Friend We Have in Jesus”,
a song which has earned a
place in Americans’ hearts by
its warm expression of faith
held by Protestants of every
denomination, McVey said.
McVey, who has sung all the
top 50 hymns at Christian
Herald Community Hymn
Sings across the country, re
ported that “In the Garden”, a
hymn which tells of God’s com
passion and guidance, received
3.868 votes for fourth place in
the National Newspapers Hymn

COHEN’S
(Largest Coverage Kny Weekly In The State)
Poll and was especially pre
ferred in the Midwest.
The Christian Herald Singer
noted the rise in acceptance of
“Amazing Grace” among
American churchgoers. This
gospel song, which relates how
faith provides confidence,
moved from ninth place in the
1960 Christian Herald hymn
poll to fifth place with 1,816
votes in the National Newspa
pers Hymn Poll.
The sixth favorite hymn of
the 61,445 Americans who
voted was “Rock of Ages”, a
religious song which describes
man’s confidence in God. “Rock
of Ages”, seventh in
McVey’s Christian Herald
poll, received 1.511 votes in
the July - October National
Newspapers Hymn Poll.
The next four favorites were: ,
“Sweet Hour of Prayer”, 1,157
votes; “Abide With Me”, 1,112
votes; “Beyond the Sunset".
1,050 votes; and, “Whispering I
Hope”, 741 votes.
‘Whispering Hope' Moves Up
McVey said the vote re- '
ceived by “Whispering Hope'
was the biggest surprise in the,
nationwide balloting. This i
hymn was 27th in the Christ
ian Herald poll but moved to
10th in the National Newspa
pers Hymn Poll.
This year's poll, co-sponsor
ed by Christian Herald Maga
zine, the nation’s largest in
terdenominational Protes t a n t
publication, and newspaper
editors in every state except
Hawaii and Vermont, recorded
more than 1,900 hymns and
gospel songs. Last year, Christ
ian Herald readers voted for
1,666 religious songs.
McVey said the most impor
■ tant point disclosed by this first,
i definitive survey to determine
i the hymns America loves best
■ was that American church
i goers do not prefer one type of
- religious song to another.
1 The last two years have seen
i j a constant controversy between
i' hymnal editors, who down-
' grade hymns they feel are too
sentimental and poorly com
posed and sometimes eliminate
those religious songs from
hymn books, and churchgoers
who prefer hymns that have
been the most inspiring to them
and easiest for them to un
derstand.
McVey’s Analysis of Voting
“The National Newspaper.,
Hymn Poll results show that
American churchgoers want to
sing sentimental hymns and
gospel songs like “The Old
Rugged Cross’,” McVey said.
“If we are to get all Ameri
cans singing the hymns or
gospel songs of the church
again, choir directors, orga
nists and ministers should
note the favorite of newspa
per readers across the country
and encourage religious sing
ing of every variety,” he said.

strong as a singing faith,” Me-

Vey said. “Singing our favo
rite hymns is a natural way to
create a national bond of
brotherhood and moral streng
th in the face of the mounting
Communist threat,” the Christ
ian Herald Singer said.
McVey pointed out that read
ers who voted in the National
Newspapers Hymn Poll divided
their ballots almost equally for
gospel songs such as “How
Great Thou Art” and for hymns
such as “What A Friend We
Have in Jesus.”
“Even though many of these
hymns and gospel songs have
been torn out of the hymn
books, they can’t be tom out
of the hearts of people who
love them,” McVey said.
“Americans are inspired by the
simple melodies and sentiments
of the lyrics of their favorite
hymns and gospel songs.
