We believe that there is a great deal of ignorance about the persons who wrote the hymns that we sing from 'Spiritual Songs'. There are a few books in existence that give some information about the better-known authors. The present exercise is to make available to the readers some information about authors in 'Spiritual Songs' who are not so well known. The exercise is begun trusting that the Lord will bless it.
