Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Altar-Side Messages
The spontaneous appearance of two little books of verse, by Althea A. Ogden and Evelyn H. Walker, prompts this confession and claim from the minister of All Souls Church, Chicago. Many if not most of these lines were written at his invitation or perchance compulsion; a benignant one, let us hope. Hence this prompt assumption on his part of the responsibility for the writing and publicity. This confession justifies a claim to a part of whatever credit these modest songs of faith, courage, and hope may receive. They come from hearts in league with a searching eye and an open mind, and will appeal to other hearts thus re-inforced. Others have given generously of things their hands have accumulated, but these women have given of the rarer, higher, and more essential accumulations of soul; for the Lincoln Centre, like Thebes, was reared by the power of the Poet's Lyre.
