What era is this?

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. I’ve been busy lately, though, and writing blog posts hasn’t exactly been a high priority.

Jenn & I picked up a book recently that bears the following text as introduction:

The Grand Old Hymnals "of the other days" have rendered a great service, and we are glad to pay them worthy tribute. The Grand Old Hymns must be preserved, and the use of them should be encouraged. There are also many of the more recent Hymns and Gospel Songs which are very serviceable and attractive, because they have been inspired by present day experiences and have the blending of appealingly strong music with the forcefully simple Gospel Message.

Any guesses as to publication date?

1926 Not sure why. Just probably not the last 20 years.

Yup, Matt, you nailed it. "The Modern Hymnal", published 1926.

Neat, thanks. For some reason it felt "twenties".
