Samuel Callan

Hymnal Number: 19 Author of "Mercy's gate" in The Devotional Chimes

Hymnal Number: 109a Author of "The sabbatic year" in The Devotional Chimes Dr Stephen Grosvenor Hubbard MD USA 1816-1904. He compiled songbooks, some with William McDonald, President of Emmaus Bible College, also a teacher of the Plymouth Brethren. We suspect this same Hubbard authored and presented a biography of the life and writings of Dr Henry Bronson to the New Haven Colony Historical Society in 1895. Song books created included: “Hymns and tunes designed for social devotion” (1842), “Songs of Canaan”, “Musical gems”, Temperance melodies”, “The new temperance melodist”and “The Wesleyan sacred harp” (1856). “A collection of choice tunes and hymns for prayer class, and camp meetings, choirs, and congregational singing”. McDonald, himself, published over 84 books, including “Believers Bible Commentary”. John Perry

Joseph Straphan

b. 1757 Hymnal Number: 185c Author of "Delightful work, young souls to win" in The Devotional Chimes Straphan, Joseph. This author contributed 3 hymns to Rippon's Baptist Selection, 1787 (see p. 149, i.), viz.:—(1) "Blest is the man whose heart expands" (Education of the Young, (2) "On wings of faith mount up, my soul, and rise" (Heaven anticipated); and (3) "Our Father, Whose eternal sway" (Divine Worship). From No. 1 two centos have been taken:—(1) "Blest work the youthful mind to win," in several collections in Great Britain; and (2), "Delightful work, young souls to win," in use in America. Straphan's birth is given as 1757. From a hymn in the Gospel Magazine, we find that he resided at that time at Hanley. Further details are wanting. [Rev. W. R. Stephenson] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
