Clara McAlister Brooks
1882 - 1980 Meter: 15.15.15.15 with refrain Arranger of "The Perishing World" Birth: Oct. 9, 1882, Parke County, Indiana, USA
Death: Mar. 20, 1980, Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida, USA
Clara McAlister Brooks was one of our early songwriters and four of her pieces are in the current hymnal. From the earliest days of the movement we have had women prominent in all forms of our ministry—missionaries, evangelists, teachers, pastors, and God has honored their sacrificial labors. For that reason we can stand in amazement when here, in the 1970s, such old-line denominations as the Episcopal church are being racked with controversy over whether the ordination of women is permissible. But before we gather Pharisaic robes about ourselves, perhaps we need to look candidly at the way in which we, too, succumbed to some of the cultural and prejudicial patterns of later decades!

Homer L. Cox
1879 - 1930 Person Name: H. L. Cox, b.1907 Meter: 15.15.15.15 with refrain Author of "It's Real" in African American Heritage Hymnal Homer L. Cox (1879-1930) was a turn of the 20th century Quaker/Friends Church preacher. He covered most of the Midwest and a lot of the western United States. His ministry and writings were significant enough to merit a biography shortly after his death. Homer L. Cox: The Man and His Messages, was published by the Cleveland Bible Institute, © 1930.
Cox was typical of a lot of “colorful” preachers and evangelists of that era, such as D.L. Moody and Billy Sunday. He once said that he, “Expressed gratitude for a friend receiving the Holy Ghost’s ‘embalming fluid’ from the great Undertaker in the skies.”
As corny as that statement was Cox redeemed himself in 1907 with the words and music of this great testimony. Although the song is in our hymnals, I remember it mostly being performed as a solo by song evangelists such as my father, Howard Sherrow. And once you learn more about Homer Cox and his personality it’s not difficult to see that these words he wrote are distinctly his “voice.”
