Oliver Holden
1765 - 1844 Person Name: Holden Composer of "CONFIDENCE" in The American Vocalist Holden, Oliver, one of the pioneers of American psalmody, was born in 1765, and was brought up as a carpenter. Subsequently he became a teacher and music-seller. He died at Charlestown, Massachusetts, 1844. His published works are American Harmony, 1793; the Worcester Collection, 1797; and other Tune books. One of his most popular tunes is "Coronation." It is thought that he edited a small hymn-book, published at Boston before 1808, in which are 21 of his hymns with the signature "H." A single copy only of this book is known, and that is without title-page. Of his hymns the following are in common use:—
1. All those who seek a throne of grace. [God present where prayer is offered.] Was given in Peabody's Springfield Collection, 1835, No. 92, in a recast form as, “They who seek the throne of grace." This form is in extensive use in America, and is also in a few collections in Great Britain.
2. With conscious guilt, and bleeding heart. [Lent.] This, although one of the best of Holden's hymns, has passed out of use. It appeared, with two others, each bearing bis signature, in the Boston Collection (Baptist), 1808.
3. Within these doors assembled now. [Divine Worship.] [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]

Henry Alline
1748 - 1784 Person Name: Alline Author of "Now can my soul in God rejoice" in Harmonia Americana Alline, Henry. (Newport, Rhode Island, January 14, 1748--January 28, 1784, Northampton, New Hampshire). Congregationalist/"New Light". In 1760 his family took up land near Hampden, Nova Scotia, far from any school or church; hence the spiritual experience which, in 1775, impelled him to begin preaching found him with the drive and magnetism, but without the solid grounding, of a Wesley or a Whitefield. His stress on the "new light," and the revival meetings which he conducted all over Nova Scotia had no connection with the American Revolution beyond coincidence in time; yet that was enough to alarm the authorities. He had sermons, tracts, and probably sheets of hymns printed at Halifax before the peace treaty of 1783 allowed him to cross the newly-drawn boundary safely; but tuberculosis felled him before he could go far. Rev. David McClure, in whose house he died, extracted verses from his manuscripts and published them (Boston, 1786) as Hymns and Spiritual Songs. These were used by Alline's Nova Scotia converts while, and after, they drifted into the Baptist orbit, as well as by the converts his associates went on to make in the United States, who eventually emerged as the Free-Will Baptists.

============================================
Alline, Henry [Allen], born at Newport, R. I., June 14, 1748, was some time a minister at Falmouth, Nova Scotia, and died at North Hill, N.S., Feb. 7, 1784. Alline, whose name is sometimes spelt Alten, is said to have founded a sect of “Allenites," who maintained that Adam and Eve before the fall had no corporeal bodies, and denied the resurrection of the body. These peculiar views may have a place in his prose works, but they cannot be traced in his 487 Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in five books, of which the 3rd ed., now rare, was published at Dover and Boston, U.S.A., 1797, and another at Stoningtonport, Conn., 1802. Of these hymns 37 are found in Smith and Jones's Hymns for the Use of Christians, 1805, and some in later books of that body. The best of these hymns, "Amazing sight, the Saviour stands," from the first edition of Hymns and Spiritual Songs (1790?), is preserved in Hatfield's Church Hymn Book, 1872, No. 569, where it is given anonymously from Nettleton's Village Hymns, also in the Baptist Praise Book, and others. Alline's hymns are unknown to the English collections. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]
