In addition to these original hymns Dr. Stryker has several translations from the German which are in common use. One of his hymns, No. 513, "Now I lay me down to sleep" (Child's Evening hymn), in Church Song, 1889 (dated 1884), begins with a stanza by another hand. In the same work there are also several of his tunes. Dr. Stryker's hymns are massive and rugged, full of dogmatism and fire, but they lack unity and purity of rhythm. In some instances words stand for thoughts, and exclamations for ideas. Nevertheless a few will live.

===========
Caroline Dana Howe was borrn in Freyburg, ME, but having since infancy lived in Portland, the birthplace of Longfellow and Willis, this house of the poets may well claim her as its own. A large number of her songs have been set to music, for which they are admirably adapted, and are to be found ini sheet music and in church collections.
She is also well known as a writer of short serial stories, juvenile sketches, essays, etc. and the Mass. Sunday School Society has published a book of about 200 pages of hers, carried successfully through several editions.
Mrs. Howe’s poems have a dignity and purity, united with a depth of thought and feeling, that commend them at once to all readers of cultivate literary taste; and it may be said with truth, that no living writer in her native State is more favorably known in the department of song.
Her songs have been gathered into at least twenty-six collections.
